European terrestrial digital television standards performance comparison under AWGN channel [Avrupa karasal sayisal televi?zyon standartlarinin TBGG kanali etki?si?ndeki? performans karşilaştirmasi]

Abstract

In this study, a general simulation of the European Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting standards which are known as "Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial (DVB-T)" and "Second Generation Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial (DVB-T2)" are implemented. The both of the standards are simulated under the effects of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) Channel and the acquired results are compared according to the Target Bit Error Rate (BER) value which is stated in standards. These results show that DVB-T2 standard outperforms DVB-T standard under AWGN Channel and achieves nearly from four to seven decibels power gain according to code rate and modulation parameters. © 2012 IEEE.
