Technical Review on Chinese Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting Standard and Measurements on Some Working Modes

Technical details of the recently announced Chinese Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting Standard which defines the physical layer transmission protocol including the frame structure, channel coding and modulation schemes are discussed in this paper. The major differences between Chinese DTV standard in multi-carrier working mode and DVB-T standard, all occupying the same 8 MHz baseband bandwidth, are addressed. The measurement results of several working modes showing satisfactory receiving performance of high and standard definition TV signals under both indoor and outdoor environments for the fixed and mobile reception are also presented
