DTH is a new technology and it has matured to its full potential in other parts of the world. There are many application has been found every day for exploitation of benefits of DTH?
The word ‘DTH’ is synonymous with transmission of digital video channel to home
subscriber’s using a small dish antenna. The DTH utilizes a technology which enables a home to receive high speed internet broadband access data communication, voice over internet protocol (IP) telephony and much more using an open standard Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) technology. The video channels are received with a suitable set top box. It is Capable of demodulating Motion Picture Engineering Group (MPEG-2) standard videos. It is for the return channel required for other services such as voice over internet protocol and broadband access data communications, that a return channel is also required for the home terminal. The return channel via the satellite is called RCS and is an open standard. Hardware compatible with DVB-RCS technology are readily available in the market in both Ku-band and C-band. DVB-RCS is an international open standard for multimedia satellite network where the return data rates in access of 2 Mbps are possible using low cost user terminals. The forward ink is usually at 40 Mbps.
Today, most satellite TV customers in developed television markets get their programming through a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) provider, such as DISH TV or DTH platform. The provider selects programs and broadcasts them to subscribers as a set package. Basically, the provider’s goal is to bring dozens or even hundreds of channels to the customer’s television in a form that approximates the competition from Cable TV. Unlike earlier programming, the provider’s broadcast is completely digital, which means it has high picture and stereo sound quality.
Early satellite television was broadcast in C-band - radio in the 3.4- gigahertz (GHz) to 7-GHz
frequency range. Digital broadcast satellite transmits programming in the Ku frequency range (10 GHz to 14 GHz). There are five major components involved in a direct to home (DTH) satellite.

Mitigating Interference in the Network & Status Carrier ID StandardizationNewtec
At the WBU-ISOG Forum, May 30th, 2012, Steven Soenens from Newtec presented about Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Carried ID.
Topics discussed where:
- DVB-S2 Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
- How traditional ACM use cases react on RFI
- How ACM can be used against RFI
- Status Carrier-Identifier (CID) Standardization
- RF CID versus NIT CID
In areas where there are multiple original networks (Original Network IDs) as Copenhagen, where you can receive DTT signals from both Denmark (red) and Sweden (green), the DVB-T2 device (NorDig IRD) shall first sort/list all services from Denmark (Original Network ID = 0x20D0), before sorting/listing the next original network, here Sweden (Original Network ID = 0x22F1).
Within DVB’s SI code allocation (ETR162), there is normally an un-written code of practise for digital terrestrial networks that the original network id has been allocated by the DVB office to the value of 0x2000 plus the country’s ISO 3166 Country code value.
This is true for all countries, except three countries DTT network:
› Swedish DTT (0x22F1), Hungarian DTT (0x22C7) & Portugal DTT (0x22C8)

Kernel Recipes 2014 - Writing Code: Keep It Short, Stupid!Anne Nicolas
The traditional KISS principle says that you are stupid if you can’t keep it simple. However, keeping it simple is actually very, very hard. But my lasting impression after reading a lot of code (linux kernel and otherwise) over the years is that there is no excuse for not keeping your code short. And usually, keeping it short is a very good first step towards keeping it simple. This presentation will give some simple tricks and pointers to keep your code short and I will also give some guidelines how to do design and implementation from a high-level point of view. These simple rules should make it easier for you to get your code accepted in open source projects such as the linux kernel.

2. TEST REPORT
Professional DVB-T2 Signal Meter
How to Make
a Professional Meter even Better
The DS2400T from Deviser
is one of the most exemplary
meters for terrestrial signals, and our in-depth test
report in TELE-audiovision
09-10/2012 had nothing but
praise for this handheld meter. It was and still is a perfect tool for checking DVB-T
signals – but not for DVB-T2!
The updated model has
changed all that: It is now
fully compatible with DVB-T2
and we gave it a try in our
Vienna test center. Live DVBT2 signals are readily available at that TELE-audiovision
test center, which is all the
more reason to look at the
changes of the DS2400T –
even though you wouldn’t
note an outside difference
from the model it replaces.
No surprises there, since
both the shape and the low
weight of the meter have received accolades from hundreds of professional installers in the past.
The situation changes,
however, when we look behind its first appearance:
The DVB-T/DVB-C tuner that
had been used before was
replaced with a next-generation tuner for DVB-T, DVB-T2
and DVB-C. This goes hand
in hand with an extension
of the receivable frequency
range that now goes from 5
to 1052 MHz rather than to
1000 MHz as before.
Even though the previously used TFT display sported
perfect readability, Deviser
has now opted for an OLED
display for its new model –
offering the same resolution
with 320 x 240 pixels. The
new display generates less
heat and offers even better
colours.
The voltage of the built-in
battery pack was increased
from 11.1V to 12.6V, which
was a technical change required for the new tuner and
display. In return for this
slightly increased voltage
battery life was reduced by
half an hour and now covers 4.5 hours of continuous
operation. But make no mistake about it, 4.5 hours is
still an excellent result and
you’ll hardly notice the missing 30 minutes in real life.
DVB-T2 is gaining momentum all the time. Several countries have already
adopted DVB-T2 as their terrestrial standard, and many
other regions still using DVBT are working on the transition to DVB-T2. One thing
is for sure: Sooner or later
DVB-T2 will become the default terrestrial transmission
standard and – obviously
– installers will have to upgrade their equipment as
well. The DS2400T from Deviser comes into play quite
nicely at this stage.
Not much has changed
as far as functions and options are concerned, which
means the results of our test
report in TELE-audiovision
09-10/2012 are still valid.
The software used for the
DS2400T has also remained
the same, except that it now
offers all DVB-T2 functions
as well. So this test report
only looks at the new DVBT2 features.
We have come to expect
from Deviser that its meters are a perfect match
for measuring all terrestrial
DVB signals and once again
the model at hand lives up
to those promises: All active
DVB-T and DVB-T2 frequencies were detected, locked in
and measured. It only took a
few seconds for the DS2400T
to display the signal level,

Perfectly equipped to measure
all terrestrial DVB standards

MER, as well as CBER and
LBER (VBER) values. All other relevant functions such as
BER measurements or constellation diagrams are now
available for DVB-T2 as well.
It was by chance that we
detected a very weak DVBT2 frequency during our
test, with a signal that was
hardly noticeable at all –
3. even though our large outside antenna
maxes out on reception as far as possible. A look at the constellation diagram
for this frequency looked like a shot in
the dark: dots without a clear focus and
lying far apart in different squares. No
wonder we could hardly achieve reception. The DS2400T, however, helped us
optimise our antenna’s alignment so
that the signal quality could be slightly
improved. Nonetheless, the overall signal was too weak for reliable and interference-free reception.
The new DS2400T from Deviser with
its DVB-T2 compatibility is absolutely fit
for future use and ready for DVB-T2 reception, which will be rolled out in many
countries in the near future.
