An implementation-friendly synchronization algorithm for multimedia HDTV receivers

To support high definition television (HDTV), the revision of DVB-T, the terrestrial digital video broadcasting standard, has recently been developed under the abbreviation DVB-T2. The provision of the anticipated high data rate services requires a highly accurate synchronization and frequency acquisition and tracking. Setting out from the procedure defined by the DVB-T2 implementation guidelines provided by the DVB-T2 standardization community, the authors have developed a modified, thus novel and yet implementation-friendly synchronization algorithm which is proposed in this manuscript. Simulation results show a promising performance improvement for synchronization, frequency offset estimation as well as the detection of the signaling information contained in the preamble P1.
