About the DVB options
The digital video broadcasting (DVB) suite of standards described methods for data
and video signals transmission through different medium including cable, terrestrial,
mobile and satellite.
This section lists required options and provides brief background information on basic
terms and principles used in the DVB standards.
2.1
Required options
The basic equipment layout for generating DVB signals includes the:
●
Standard or wideband Baseband Generator (R&S
SMW-B10/-B9)
●
Baseband main module (R&S
SMW-B13) or wideband baseband main module
(R&S
SMW-B13XT)
●
Frequency option (e.g. R&S
SMW-B1003)
●
Digital standard DVB-H / DVB-T (R&S
SMW-K52)
●
Digital standard DVB-S2 / DVB-S2X (R&S
SMW-K116)
You can generate signals via play-back of waveform files at the signal generator. To
create the waveform file using R&S
WinIQSIM2, you do not need a specific option.
To play back the waveform file at the signal generator, you have two options:
●
Install the R&S
WinIQSIM2 option of the digital standard, e.g. R&S
SMW-K255 for
playing LTE waveforms
●
If supported, install the real-time option of the digital standard, e.g. R&S
SMW-K55
for playing LTE waveforms
For more information, see data sheet.
