Abstract

An enhancement proposition for a Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T) systems is discussed in this work. DVB-T physical layer uses a powerful technique namely Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique, which has been used to combat the channel’s effect. However, it has a major drawback that degrades its efficiency; namely Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Two criteria have been used for this purpose; BER curves and CCDF curves in order to distinguish the powerfulness of those propositions in reducing the PAPR effect. In fact, a powerful special averaging technique results are compared to previously published propositions, namely based on wavelet transformations and the one that is based on the pulse width modulation. A mathematical model has been drawn in order to check both of the CCDF and the BER curves, and simulated at same channel limitations and specifications. The proposition gives extra 35% noise immunity over our previously published work that is based on entropy wavelet, and an enhancement of over 25% from the CCDF point of view in combatting the PAPR. Furthermore, a complexity reduction has been attained by decreasing the side information transmission in compared with the work in the literature.
