TAILIEUCHUNG - Integration of MIMO support in a DVB-T2 simulator

This thesis examines the benefits of using multi-antenna transmission in terrestrial digital video broadcasting, especially in the DVB-T2 and DVBNGH standards. The thesis extends an existing DVB-T2 simulator with a platform for running MIMO simulations. The platform is constructed in a manner that will allow it to be easily adapted to future needs. | Integration of MIMO Support in A DVB-T2 Simulator Marcus Hellberg Master of Science Thesis Supervisor Jerker Bjorkqvist Embedded Systems Laboratory Department of Information Technologies Faculty of Technology Abo Akademi University Abstract Marcus Hellberg Integration of MIMO Support in a DVB-T2 Simulator.

I received much help from all the people working on the Broadcast for the 21th Century project. I would like to thank Thomas Soininen for helping me to get started with the simulator Kristian Nybom for providing insight and help with solving problems. I also want to thank Jussi Vesma for his invaluable help with understanding the DVB-T2 specification and the techniques involved in it. I would further like to thank all the people that helped to proofread and edit the final text. Finally I want to thank my girlfriend Jenna Svensson for all the help and support she has given me throughout the writing process. Abo November 2009 Marcus Hellberg .
