Implementation and Performance Analysis of MIMO Digital Video Broadcasting - T 2

The Digital Video Broadcasting second generation (DVB – T2) system transmitter and receiver are to be implemented and simulated using MATLAB. The existing system uses the Multiple Input Single Output processing unit (MISO) technology as a means of transmission. The proposing system is the implementation of the DVB – T2 system with the support of multiple antenna transmission and multiple antenna reception. Multiple Input Multiple Output–Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is implemented in order to support the multiple antenna transmission and reception. Here MISO processing unit has been replaced by the MIMO processing unit. In DVB-T2 system transmitter section, reduce the peak to average power ratio to make transmission cheaper. DVBT2 also supports service specific robustness levels so that both fixed and portable devices will be used. MIMO systems can deliver both higher data throughput and greater robustness by taking advantage of the additional signal paths between a transmitter and a receiver.
