Description

Key facts DVB (digital video broadcasting) provides a communications infrastructure for powerful transmission of MPEG-2-based data. Besides satellite-based (DVB-S), terrestrial (DVB-T) and cable-bound (DVB-C) transmission schemes, the latest version (DVB-H) is for portable/handheld terminals. DVB-H is an extension to DVB and is compatible with the basic concept of the standard. The extensions bring advantages that are especially important for portable devices: low power consumption, small hardware and robustness against fading effects. In recent years, mobile phones and video applications have merged more and more. Some years ago, the mobile phone was only a means of making phone calls, today one can watch TV on handheld devices. With this solution customers can test both mobile communication standards (such as W-CDMA 3GPP FDD, TD-SCDMA, GSM/EDGE) and DVB-H with only ONE signal generator. The creation of standard-compliant DVB-H signals with the option R&S®SMBV-K52 is very simple.
