Abstract
The Japanese answer to digital terrestrial television is the ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial) standard which was adopted in 1999, quite a long time after DVB-T and ATSC. This delay made it possible to take into account also the experience gained with the older standards. Unlike ATSC, where a single-carrier method is used, it was decided for ISDB-T to use a COFDM multicarrier system as in DVBT. ISDB-T is even more complex than DVB-T; presumably, it will also be more robust because of the greater interleaving with time. The first pilot station was installed on the Tokyo Tower and overall, ISDB-T started with eleven pilot stations throughout Japan. In 2006, Brasil decided to use ISDB-T as their standard for Digital Television.
