Latin America. Transmission of Digital Terrestrial Television in the ISDB-T Standard, is the name of the book to help understand the digital TV model chosen by most countries in the region due to the growing demand for technicians and engineers with solid knowledge about this new system.
Written by engineers Néstor Pisciotta, Carlos Liendo and Roberto Lauro, professors specialized in the field, this book is the first complete work in Spanish dedicated exclusively to the study, analysis and application of the Digital TV standard.
It is a complete treatise, with a journey that begins with a general overview and description of the state of the art of digital TV, following the basic concepts of the theory and analysis of digital signals until reaching the fundamental blocks of the ISDB-T transmission system, studying in detail each of its parts.
According to Editorial Cengage Learning, Latin America Division, publisher of the book, it is friendly and accessible, even for those who are just starting out in this exciting technology. Among the topics addressed are:
The complete and detailed study of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
The TS-MPEG packet transport model and the different system information tables.
The diffusion transport flow (BTS) and the Remultiplexer.
The channel coding and modulation blocks, including the time and frequency interlacing functions, the conformation of the OFDM frame and the final obtaining of the signal in the time domain, through the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform.
The fundamental concepts of propagation, channel models, noise, fades and carrier-to-noise ratio.
The calculation and design of Multiple Frequency Networks (MFN) and Single Frequency Networks (SFN), including the analysis of the main characteristics of the receivers.
A special chapter on commercially produced ISDB-Tb transmission equipment and a section dedicated to TVD-T transmission antennas, filters and combiners.
