DIGITAL TERRESTRIALTRANSMISSION EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES GOPALAKRISHNAN. K N ASSISTANT ENGINEER DOORDARSHAN KENDRA TRIVANDRUM
DD reach to public-Current scenerio • Terrestrial mode - Predominantly Analog • Satellite mode (DTH) - Fully digital • Cable TV- Both analog and digital.
Analog Transmission Technique • Base band signal is analog, 5MHz ccvs • Modulation technique is VSB • Video is Amplitude Modulated and Sound is Frequency Modulated
VSB Technique • Full USB, carrier and part of LSB transmitted. • Total channel B/W is 7 MHz
SINGLE CHANNEL ONLY • NOISY RECEPTION • NOT EFFICIENT IN TERMS OF POWER AND B/W • DATA PROTECTION BY SCRAMBLING NOT POSSIBLE • FRINGE AREA / SHADOW AREAS DUE TO GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS • SIGNALs Subject to MULTIPLE REFLECTIONS-Hence GHOST RECEPTION
ADVANTAGES: • DUE TO VARIOUS MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUES, & EFFICIENT CODING TECHNIQUES, EFFECTIVE B/W CONSERVATION IS POSSIBLE. • MULTIPLE SIGNALS IN A SINGLE CARRIER, HENCE MULTIPLE CHANNEL RECEPTION. • DUE TO EFFICENT CODING TECHNIQUES, POWER SAVING & ALSO NOISE FREE, ERROR FREE RECEPTION POSSIBLE.
NEED FOR TERRESTRIAL TRANSMISSION • DD being India's National Broadcaster should have a reliable standby mode of transmission to maintain uninterrupted transmission for public. • The risk of catastrophic satellite failures. This fact is of paramount importance during wartime • Satellite (DTH) suffers from rain fading • DTT is highly efficient in terms of spectrum utilization • Moblile/ Handheld Reception will make TV more popular.
ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES • Source digitisation (Rec 601 digital studio). • Compression technology (MPEG) • Data multiplexing (MPEG) • Transmission Technology (Modulation)
ATSC- ADVANCED TELEVISION SYSTEM COMMITTEE (USA) uses 8VSB • DVB- DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING (EUROPE) • DiBEG- DIGITAL BROADCASTING EXPERTS GROUP (JAPAN) INDIA HAS ADOPTED FOR DVB – DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING.
DVB Overview • The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project is an industry-led consortium of around 200 broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators, software developers, regulatory bodies and others committed to designing open interoperable standards for the global delivery of digital media and broadcast services. • The DVB project was announced in sept. 1993 and became operational by 1995. • DVB–S, DVB-C and DVB-T are different sub stds of DVB.
DIFFERENT VIDEO RESOLUTIONS • STANDARD DEFINITION 720x576 • HIGH DEFENITION 1280x720 • FULL HD 1920x1080 • UHD/4K 3840x2160
COMPRESSION IS THE KEY FOR SUCCESS • SDI VIDEO BIT RATE 270 Mbps FOR SD • HD DIGITAL VIDEO BIT RATE 1.485 Gbps • AVAILABLE CHANNEL B/W IS 7/8 MHz
SPECTRAL REDUNDANCY • SPATIAL REDUNDANCY. • TEMPORAL REDUNDANCY. • ENTROPY REDUNDANCY. • PSYCHO VISUAL REDUNDANCY.
COMPRESSION TYPES • LOSSLESS COMPRESSION ( FULLY –REVERSIBLE) • LOSSY COMPRESSION ( REMOVING IRRELEVENT INFORMATION- IRREVERSIBLE) • 270 Mbps signal can be compressed to about 3Mbps without much noticible loss of quality using MPEG 2 • DISCRETE COSINE TRANSFORM IS THE KEY ALGORITHM FOR COMPRESSION.
TRANSPORT STREAM • The data streams of different programs, multiplexed and combined to form a complete data stream so that they can be transmitted via satellite, cable or terrestrial transmission links is called an “MPEG-2 transport stream” (TS for short). • The base band signal for DVB is MPEG 2 TS
MPEG-2 transport stream (Simplified) Header Header Payload Payload Sync Ctrl.bits Ctrl. bits PID Payload 47Hex Payload Packet header 184 bytes 4 bytes MPEG-2 packet size 188 bytes
CHALLENGES IN TERRESTRIAL MODE • •Real life terrestrial delivery is complex. • •Received signal is a dynamic combination of signals arriving at varying delays. • •Resulting channel spectrum is far less than ideal
HOW TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES • Transmitted Data spread over large number of closely spaced frequency sub- bands. • Data protected before transmission • Interleaving helps to recover lost data
COFDM • Coded - Inner / Outer coding • Orthogonal - No interference among carriers • FDM - Frequency Divison Multiplexing
COFDM - Orthogonal Carriers Frequency
No inter carrier interference (ICI) • Carrier spacing = 1/T • Efficiently produced by IFFT FREQUENCY Orthogonality (Fqcy Domain)
OFDM (Simple Analogy) Data Loss Due To Frequency Selective Fading Is Minimized In Multi Carrier System Further protection can be ensured by deviding the same type of load across different carriers
Data carrier • 1 bit / symbol BPSK • 2 bits / symbol QPSK • 4 bits / symbol 16-QAM • 6 bits / symbol 64-QAM • 8 bits / symbol 256-QAM Symbols/Modulation
DVB T2- 2nd Generation DTT • DVB-T2 is the world’s most advanced digital terrestrial television (DTT) system • Offers more robustness, flexibility and at least 50% more efficiency than any other DTT system • It supports SD, HD, UHD, mobile TV, or any combination thereof.
Advantage with PLPs • Possibilty to reach different kinds of receivers with different levels of robustness within the same RF channel
Mobile Reception • The commercial focus on DVB-T2 is primarily on SD and HDTV , but DVB-T2 is also designed to work well in mobile/handheld devices. • DVB-T2-Lite is a new feature added to DVB-T2, intended for reception in mobile devices. • Reduced data rates and pixel size • Makes use of FEF in DVB T2 • DVB NGH is also based on DVB T2
