The introduction of digital video broadcasting (DVB) satellite systems has become an important tool for future mobile communication and is currently a focus in several research areas such as the integration of DVB satellite systems with different wireless technologies. This tutorial consists of two parts, Enabling technologies and Future service scenarios, which aims to provide an introduction ...

Digital video broadcasting (DVB) is the television digital system. It’s however much more than a simple replacement for existing analogue television transmission, this system has many advantages such as picture quality and allows you a range of new features and services including subtitling, multiple audio tracks, interactive content and multimedia content. The main purpose of this paper is to ...

Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) is an international standard for digital television services. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the core of this technology. OFDM based system like DVB-T can handle multipath fading and hence it can minimize Inter Symbol Interference (ISI). DVB-T has some limitations too namely large dynamic range of the signals and sensitivity t...

First step towards integrating satellite and terrestrial standards at the physical layer is to design a unified packet frame structure, and in particular, a unified adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) scheme without substantial loss in either of the systems. In this paper we introduce a methodology to design such a set of modulation and coding (MODCOD) combinations. In the first step, we desig...

The return link performance of conventional civil DVB-RCS transmission technology limits its direct application to air-borne satellite video transmission system. This paper studies the novel emergent DVB-RCS return link technique based on introducing adaptive parallel processing to the conventional civil DVB-RCS return link. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed return link transmiss...

For now many years [1] [2], passive radars using transmitters of opportunity have been studied and their capabilities and limitations for detecting and localizing “classical” air targets are now quite well known. The most famous transmitters of opportunity considered are FM, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) [3] and more recently, some studies are dealing with W...

This contribution is focused on simulation of the DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting – Satellite 2nd generation) digital television transmission. For this simulation an application in MATLAB has been developed. It can be use for simulation of whole processing in DVB-S2 transmitter including stream adaptation, FEC (Forward Error Correction) coding with interleaving, modulation, channel distortio...

This is the second part of the tutorial paper following the previous tutorial paper describing enabling technologies in digital video broadcasting (DVB) system. The paper presents the current and future operational scenarios for DVB via satellite (DVB-S) system. Review of the current state-of-the-art technologies consisting of integration of broadband Internet and mobile communications and inte...
