DVB-T2 – Measurement Technology in Theory and Practice (LS telcom)

Duration: 2 Days

This training course is aimed at those people working within the broadcast industry who have an interest in future development in terrestrial broadcasting. Participants will become familiar with the requirements, new features and consequences of DVB-T2 measurements compared to DVB-T. Beside the general aspects of digital broadcast measurements and measurement parameters the training provides interesting insights in
practical demonstration of field measurements as well as receiver and transmitter tests. The training is presented in cooperation with Rohde & Schwarz.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, delegates will understand the technology behind DVB-T2 measurements as well as all associated measurement parameters. Several practical demonstrations will solidify the theoretical knowledge.

Intended for

This course is intended for those who have a basic knowledge of DVB-T2 technology, who are interested in DVB-T2 measurements and who may be employed in broadcasters, network operators or regulators.
