Sadiba compares between DVB-T and ISDB-T, recommending the European standard

SADIBA (Southern African Digital Broadcasting Association) has published a comparison between DVB-T and ISDB-T digital standards, based on the independent information provided by the International Telecommunications Union (UIT). Both for the correction of errors, as for the network of data, modulation and broadcast on TDT, Sadiba opts for the European standard.

SADIBA (Southern African Digital Broadcasting Association) has recently published a comparison between the DVB-T and ISDB-T digital standards starting from the independent information provided by the International Telecommunications Union (UIT). Both for the correction of errors, as for the network of data, modulation and broadcast on DTT, Sadiba has taken its own conclusions on which standard is capable of offering the greatest capacity and coverage with less spectrum use.

Starting from the UIT-R BT.1306-4 (09/2009) and UIT-R BT.1877 (05/2010) documents, referring to second-generation TDT broadcasting standards, Sadiba compared both the ISDB-T and the DVB-T in its more and less robust and less configurations.

According to its conclusions, the DVB-T compared to the ISDB-T would require lower transmission power to deliver more stable data, deploying over a 19% higher area without risk of self-interference.

Although in this last aspect, Sadiba acknowledges that both standards are highly efficient spectral, it would opt for the DVB-T since it would offer a performance advantage over the ISDB-T.

In its report it also includes that the second generation of DVB-T2 greatly exceeds both DVB-T and ISDB-T.
