Kywords Dgtal Trrstral Transmsson, Gaussan channl,, Raylgh channl, DVQL, DVB-T. 1. Introducton Dgtal Vdo Broadcastng Trrstral (DVB-T) s a tchncal standard dvlopd by th DVB Projct that spcfs th framng structur, channl ncodng and modulaton for Dgtal Trrstral Tlvson (DTT) broadcastng. It s a flxbl systm that allows ntworks to b dsgnd for th dlvry of a wd rang of srvcs, from SDTV (Standard Dfnton TV) to HDTV (Hgh Dfnton TV), fxd, portabl, mobl and vn handhld rcpton (n conjuncton wth standard DVB-H for mobl TV trmnals that was bult on th provn mobl prformanc of DVB-T). DVB-T uss Codd Orthogonal Frquncy Dvson Multplx (COFDM) modulaton. Ths typ of modulaton uss a larg numbr of subcarrrs and dlvrs a robust sgnal that has th ablty to dal wth varous transmsson channl condtons (fadng ncludd). DVB-T tchncal charactrstcs mak DTT systm flxbl to oprat n combnaton of: 3 modulaton optons (QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM), 5 dffrnt FEC (forward rror corrcton) rats, 4 Guard Intrval optons (1/3, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4), mods of usd carrrs - k (175) or 8k (6817), 3 channl bandwdths opton (8, 7, 6) MHz. Usng dffrnt combnatons of th abov paramtrs a DVB-T ntwork can b dsgnd to match th rqurmnts of th ntwork oprator, fndng th balanc btwn robustnss and capacty. Th us of COFDM modulaton wth th approprat Guard Intrval allows DVB-T to provd srvc n th Sngl Frquncy twork (SF). SF s a ntwork whr a numbr of transmttrs oprat on th sam RF frquncy and must b synchronzd n tm and frquncy. SF can covr a country ara or can b usd to nhanc ndoor covrag usng a smpl gap-fllr.. Bascs of th DTT Transmsson Th dstrbuton of DTT tlvson programs by way of trrstral transmttrs s th classcal tchnology of broadcastng. Rcvd sgnal n good qualty should b ntrprtd as th ovrall ffct, th sum of varous nfluncs ncludng th many possbl dsturbancs cratd by nos, chos, SF co-channls and ntrfrnc (s Fg. 1). Th consdrabl drctvty of th rooftop antnna, apart from th sgnal powr obtand by th gan, can partally rduc cho mparmnts causd by rflcton from hlls, buldngs tc. A good rooftop antnna guarants th vwrs srvc wth satsfactory qualty..1 Gaussan Channl (AWG) Th rcpton condtons wthn th srvc ara can b dscrbd by th so-calld Gaussan channl modl, whch s basd on a drct sgnal path from transmttr to rcvr.

A typcal hom rcvr oprats wth rooftop antnna, whch should hav a gan of approx. 7 db (VHF) or 1 db (UHF) [1]. As opposd to analogu tlvson (ATV), n whch chos ar mor or lss vsbl n th form of doubl contours on th scrn, chos n th cas of DVB-T multpl sgnal rcpton caus an ncras n ntrsymbol ntrfrnc (ISI).

A comparson of th rsults of smulatons, n trms of carrr-to-nos rato (C/) rqurd for quas-rror fr (QEF) rcpton of a DVB-T sgnal n th Gaussan channl, wth th rspctv valus n th Rcan Channl shows, as xpctd, that th has hghr rqurmnts. Th addtonal rqurmnt s actually n th rang of (.3 1.1) db, accordng to th systm paramtrs (numbr of nnr modulaton stats, convolutonal cod rat, hrarchy codng, tc.). An ncras n th transmsson powr by a maxmum of 3% s rqurd to compnsat th ffct of chos [1].

Smulaton rsults show that for an rror-fr rcpton (agan accordng to th systm paramtrs) C/ s rqurd up to 9 db hghr. An ncras n th C/ by approx. 9 db would rqur an ght tms hghr transmsson powr. Ths ncras s not ralstc [1]. Th portabl rcvr thrfor s affctd by th lack of gan n th rcvng antnna (gan of 1 db n th UHF band, most rlvant to th DVB-T) and by th sgnal dtroraton n th Raylgh channl. Furthr losss occur du to th fact that th rcpton antnna s oftn nsd a buldng and oftn clos to th ground lvl, whl an antnna hght of 1 m from a ground lvl s assumd n th calculaton of th covrag. Th smulaton rsults wr computd on th assumpton that a prfct corrcton of th channl frquncy rspons has takn plac n th trms of attnuaton and phas rotaton.

In cas of th DVB-T transmsson n th SF wth systm paramtrs (64-QAM, mod 8k, convolutonal cod /3, Guard Intrval 1/8) th rqurd C/ rato n db and non-hrarchcal modulaton s qual to [3]: 16.5 db for Gaussan channl (AWG), 17.1 db for (RC paths), 19.3 db for Raylgh channl (RL paths). As xpland bfor, th smulaton of th Rcan channl rprsnts an approxmaton of th actual condtons whn rcvng DVB-T sgnals va a rooftop antnna wth hgh drctvty. Th Raylgh channl s usd to modl th actual condtons whn rcvng DVB-T sgnals va statonary rcvrs, whch hav a rod antnna.
