    The document provides feedback from MEDIA BROADCAST on Singapore's draft technical specification for integrated digital receivers to be used with its second generation digital terrestrial television broadcasting system using DVB-T2. Key points included: 1) Measured signal to noise ratios from Singapore's DVB-T2 field trial were close to the "worst case" specification requirements. 2) A receiver noise figure of 6dB is appropriate given improvements in consumer equipment and compatibility with other markets. 3) MEDIA BROADCAST's review found the overall receiver specification to be technically sound without needing further comment.

    1. Introduction
    MEDIA BROADCAST appreciates the opportunity provided by the Media Development
    Authority (MDA) and Info-Communications Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore to
    give its view on the technical receiver specification IDA TS IRD-T2 Issue 1, September
    2012 [Revision: 0], i.e. Technical Specification for Integrated Digital Receiver for use with
    second generation Digital Terrestrial Television broadcasting system (DVB-T2), for future
    DVB-T2 reception.
    MDA selected MEDIA BROADCAST as technical advisor and project manager for the
    planning, creation, and operation of a trial network in DVB-T2 standard in 2011/2012.
    In the DVB-T2 trial, crucial system parameters for the roll-out of a DVB-T2 transmitter
    network to provide the island city state with digital television in future optimised for
    indoor and portable reception with excellent sound quality and crystal clear pictures in
    high-definition resolution (HDTV) has been determined.
    The core objectives of the trial included:
    Development of recommendations for the creation of technical infrastructure,
    tests of technical components for signal transmission chain,
    compilation of transmitter parameters for the network,
    development of coverage prognoses,
    provision of a detailed cost-benefit analysis, and
    proposal of basic DVB-T2 receiver parameters.

    In general, MEDIA BROADCAST considers the draft receiver specification being


    eminently suited to comply with Singapores plans to deploy a digital terrestrial television
    network based on DVB-T2. Therefore, only selected points with direct reference to the
    outcome of the DVB-T2 trial will be commented.

    2. C/N Performance Requirements


    DVB-T2 performance requirements in Annex D have been defined for the same reception
    scenarios and the same DVB-T2 modes that have been tested in the trial for fixed
    outdoor reception and for portable indoor reception (PLP0 to PLP3), respectively.
    Measured C/N figures of both reception scenarios were a major outcome of the DVB-T2
    field trial in Singapore. Table 1 summarizes the C/N performance on both, Gaussian
    channel and 0dB echo channel of Annex D of the receiver specification, and the
    appropriate mean C/N figures as derived from the trial.

    Table 1: Comparison of C/N performance according to receiver specification with C/N
    performance measured in DVB-T2 fixed outdoor and portable indoor reception tests.
    Measured mean C/N values are within the defined parameters, although closer to the
    worst case figures of a 0 dB Echo Channel.

    3. Noise Figure
    With respect to receiver parameters, i.e. the Receiver Nose Figure (Rx NF) has been
    discussed with MDA during the trial. Although MEDIA BROADCAST measured receiver
    Noise Figure of more than 11 dB for professional equipment, commercially available
    reception devices usually provided a significantly better performance. Taking into account
    timelines of network deployment and assuming further improvements of consumer
    equipment, a receiver Noise Figure of 6 dB is considered being appropriate.
    Furthermore, the selection of the same Noise Figure by standardization committees in
    neighbouring markets like Malaysia and also in Europe (Nordic) allows manufacturers to
    realise economies of scales, thus encourages mass deployment of receivers at
    affordable cost levels.

    4. Overall Receiver Specification Review


    DVB-T2 receiver experts of MEDIA BROADCAST have intensively worked through the
    actual technical receiver specification, IDA TS IRD-T2 Issue 1, September 2012
    [Revision: 0].
    As a result of this review, MEDIA BROADCAST expresses its overall technical
    compliance with the abovementioned receiver specification with no further comment or
    addition needed.
