Abstract :
The new DVB-T2 standard was specifically designed to allow the reuse of DVB-T infrastructure if required. This paper presents measurement results that verify the correct performance of a commercial DVB Power Amplifier with DVB T2 waveforms. Furthermore, the paper includes configuration guidelines and performance evaluation of the Tone Reservation PAPR reduction algorithm included in the DVB-T2 standard. PAPR reduction is key technology when reusing DVB-T amplifiers for DVB-T2 transmissions without penalizing amplifier efficiency.
