Digital satellite TV system (DVB-S/S2)

Digital terrestrial TV system (DTMB, DVB-T/T2, ATSC,

ISDB-T)
Digital Cable TV System
Features
High transmission quality and reliability
High program capacity, allows transmission of hundreds
of digital TV programs and development of VOD type
video business
Able to data transmission, audio and access internet
services. Such as distance education, Internet access,
video conference etc. Various kinds of broadband
multimedia business.
Digital Cable TV System

Main equipment:
Satellite TV receiver, multiplexer, TV modulator, channel
modulator, CA system, mixer, optic transmitter/receiver,
trunk amplifier, branch distributor and cable TV set-top box.
Digital Cable TV System - Block Diagram
Digital Cable TV System
Utilize cable TV information network and its access method,
household users could directly access Internet, company
users, such as bank, government department could access
Internet and launch the concept of tri-network integration
as well.
Tri-network integration means telecommunication networks,
cable TV and Internet are under the technical
transformation to broadband telecommunication networks,
digital TV network and Internet. All networks are
interconnected and interworking so as to able to provide
audio, data, TV broadcast and other multi-services.
Advantages of Tri-network Integration
Information service turns from pure play to teletext, audio,
data, image, video and other multimedia comprehensive
services.
Be beneficial for reducing the funds investment to
infrastructure construction, simplifying network
management and reducing maintenance cost.
Networks turns from independent specialized networks to
comprehensive network so that network performance is
enhanced and resource utilization is improved.
Introduce abundant value added services with the
integration of tri-network.
Digital Satellite TV System
Features:
Larger coverage area, farther transmission distance and
unaffected by environment
High transmission quality and reliability
Able to transmission multiple program with the
development standards.
Able to transmission data, audio and access internet
services.
Digital Satellite TV System
Digital satellite TV system consists of four parts:
Head end system: receiving, coding, multiplexing, CA, etc.
Uplink/Downlink system: modulator, power amplifier,
transmitting/receiving antenna, satellite receivers, etc.
SMS system: manage head end and uplink equipment.
IRD system
Digital Terrestrial TV System
Features:
Universality, controllability and invulnerability, deemed to
be national safety facilities, making it to be the
governments direct and reliable mouthpiece in case
of emergency mobilization.
Meet the requirements of people for watching multimedia
programs anywhere anytime. The development of digital
TV is not only the quantity of programs but the flexibility of
where to watch and arbitrariness of when to watch.
In order to increase frequency benefits and realize more
applications by using idle radio spectrum resource.
Digital Terrestrial TV System
Digital terrestrial TV system is composed of four parts:
Head end system: receiving, encoding, multiplexing
Subscriber management system (SMS) :manage head end
and uplink equipment
Uplink/Downlink system: modulator, power amplifier,
transmitting/receiving antenna, satellite receiver, etc.

 Network Planning of Digital TV System
Choose transmission code rate and source coding scheme
Nowadays, the popular signal source coding scheme are MPGE-
2/H.264/AVS and other standards, mainly shall consider the encoding quality
and compression efficiency.

Coverage forecast diagram
To calculate and forecast coverage effect of objective area. It will
be much complicated if calculated the coverage strength by hand.
At present, coverage forecast and analysis with the help with RF
digital TV network planning software platform.

Network Planning of Digital TV System
During system design, the reliability of two items shall be
considered:
1. Reliability of transmitting system, Redundant backup or
N+1 hot backup could be used according to actual situation.

Network Planning of Digital TV System
Route reliability, in the design of RF transmitting system,
rout reliability is a key factor. Thus, it has to consider
system redundancy during design in order to ensure
system high reliability and reach the best operating
efficiency. Besides, the designed system threshold must be
greater than average value.
