Digital Video Broadcasting - Second Generation Terrestrial is the second generation standards for terrestrial transmission. to know more go though the slides
3.
Include DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-C, DVB-T and DVBT 2.
DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting –
Terrestrial.
These standards define the physical layer and data link
layer of the distribution system.
Transmits a compressed digital audio/video
stream, using OFDM modulation with concatenated
channel coding .

4. The
first country that deployed DVB-T2 is the
UK, launched in March 2010.
Launched
in Italy, Sweden, and Finland in 2010
and 2011.
Outside of Europe DVB-T2 pay-TV services were
launched in Zambia, Nigeria, Kenya.
Trials
are currently taking place across the globe, it
is thought to be installed in India by 2014.

7. Enable
the transport of data independent of its
structure.
Both
the allocated capacity and the robustness can
be adjusted.
Two
general modes are defined.

8. Most
simple mode can be viewed as a
straightforward extension of DVB-T.
Not
sub-divided into multiple PLPs.
Only
a single PLP is used, transporting a single
transport stream.
The
same robustness is applicable to all content.

9. This
more advanced mode of operation applies the
concept of multiple physical-layer pipes.
Service -specific robustness.
Offers potentially longer time-interleaving depth
as well as the option of power saving in the
receiver.

10. The
initial symbols of a DVB-T2 physical-layer
frame are preamble symbols.
The frame starts with the highly robust
differentially BPSK-modulated P1 symbol, with
guard intervals at both ends.
P2 symbols provide all static, configurable and
dynamic layer-1 signalling.

13. Bit
interleaver interleaves code bits in a LDPC
word.
Cell interleaver interleaves mapped I Q values in a
FEC frame.
Time interleaver is a protection against long
impulsive interferers.
Frequency interleaver is a protection against
frequency selective interferers (e.g. notches).

17. Largest
entity of a DVB-T2 system.
Carries
T2-frames and may also carry FutureExtension Frame (FEF).
The
maximum number of T2-frames in a super
frame is 255.
The
maximum length of a T2-frame is 250 ms and
the maximum length of a FEF part is 250 ms.

18. T2-frame
consists of a P1 symbol and a
configurable number of data symbols.

20. The
availability of the DVB-T2 standard brings
new opportunities for the terrestrial television
delivery platform.
Broadcasters
consider offering new services on the
DTT platform which would have been difficult
given the limited frequency capacity available in
the VHF and UHF frequency bands.
It
can be expected that the DVB-T2 standard will
be relevant for many years into the future.
