Implementation and Field Trials of OFDM-Based Digital Video Broadcasting System in Commercial Broadcasting Network for Multichannel UHD Service

الملخص EN

This paper describes design and implementation of an OFDM-based digital video broadcasting system test platform for multichannel ultra-high definition (UHD) broadcasting services.

The developed digital video broadcasting system test platform has been installed in commercial broadcasting station, and trial broadcasting service of the system has been performed through the commercial in-service network.

For the performance measurement, field test is also executed.

To evaluate the practical performance of the implemented system, a commercial broadcasting set-top box is used.

Furthermore, by using measurement receiver, various system performances have been evaluated such as BER, PER, and CNR.

Because high efficiency video coding (HEVC) can successfully transmit multimedia contents with a raw data rate of 51.6 Mbps, a multichannel UHD service can be serviced in a single physical 6MHz channel.
