Özet:

Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T) is a standard for wireless broadcast of MPEG-2 video. DVB-T is based on channel coding algorithms and uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as a modulation scheme. In this thesis, we have implemented the standard of ETSI EN 300 744 for Digital Video Broadcasting in MATLAB. This system is composed of the certain blocks which include OFDM modulation, channel estimation, channel equalization, frame synchronization, error-protection coding, to name a few of such blocks. We have investigated the performance of the complete system for different wireless broadcast impairments. In this performance analysis, we have considered Rayleigh fading multi-path channels with Doppler shift and framing synchronization errors and obtained the bit error rate (BER), and channel minimum square error performances versus different maximum Doppler shift values, different channel equalization techniques and different channel estimation algorithms. Furthermore, we have investigated different interpolations methods for the interpolation of channel response. It is shown that minimum mean-square error (MMSE) type equalization has a better performance in symbol estimation compared to zero forcing (ZF) equalizer. Also linear interpolation in time and low pass frequency interpolation, for time frequency interpolation of channel response can be used for practical application.
