Analytical bounds on the error performance of the DVB-T system in time-invariant channels
We present an upper bound on the BER performance of the DVB-T system for time-invariant channels. A unified approach is taken comprising all feasible combinations of convolutional encoder rates and constellations, for both non-hierarchical and hierarchical transmission modes. The validity of the estimated BER is compared thoroughly with the simulated BER obtained with BerbeX, a DVB-T compliant software, for the three channels specified in the DVB-T standard.
