Abstract

The paper deals with the DVB-T/H (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial / Handheld) and DVB-T2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - 2^nd Generation Terrestrial) standards and their performance in multipath and fading TV channel models. For the comparison the overview information about DVB-T/H and DVB-T2 were taken from the DVB Facts Sheets and added with according references. Then parameters and models for mobile, portable and fixed TV scenarios were used for system analysis and simulation. Dependences of BER and MER on C/N ratio for all types of payload inner modulations are compared with focus on mobile, portable and fixed TV services availability. Comparison of these two standards performance in various channel models is the main novelty contained in this paper.
