Abstract :
In this paper, we evaluate the performances of distributed Tarokh Space Frequency Block Coding (SFBC) compared to classical Single Frequency Network (SFN) and Distributed Alamouti MISO with SFN (MISO-SFN) for the emerging second generation digital TV Broadcasting (DVB-T2). We showed the performance of SFN and Alamouti MISO-SFN for two, three and four transmitters for DVB-T2 chain. We also compared the performances of distributed Tarokh MISO compared to SFN and Alamouti MISO-SFN for three transmitters in OFDM transmission with LDPC and BCH coding to be similar as DVB-T2 chain. The results showed clearly that the distributed Tarokh diversity can be used to improve the DVB-T2 network of three antennas and more.
