Abstract

This paper deals with an experimental laboratory assessment of utilized hierarchical modulation in the transmission of DVB-T/H mobile TV over new fading channels profiles. These profiles called PI3, PO3, VU30 and MR100 are originally from the Celtic Wing TV project. The DVB-H performance in HP (High Priority) stream of a hierarchical modulated digital terrestrial television was tested in a simulated laboratory environment. The results of the BER before and BER after Viterbi decoding, the main criteria for the DVB-H signal receptions, were evaluated using R&S test and measurements equipment.
