This is the first English handbook devoted to Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), one of the most widely used terrestrial television broadcasting standards originally developed in Japan. This book has been planned and carefully designed to provide an essential overview, and detailed specific information, on every technical element of the ISDB-T system and is organized into four parts. The following are the parts: This book contains several real-world examples, including parameter setting in data-rate calculation, SFN or infrastructure deployment with detailed explanation on Japanese Association of Radio Industries and Business (ARIB) and Brazilian Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) standard. This book will be of considerable use to the broadcast operator, product design engineers, and engineering students in understanding the capabilities and limitations of the ISDB-T system.
