Continue our journey on DVBT2, this is another new document.

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Implementation
guidelines for a second generation digital
terrestrial television broadcasting system
(DVB-T2)

DVB-T2 is a standard for digital terrestrial television broadcasting, offering significant benefits compared to DVB-T.
The present document is intended to serve a number of purposes.
DVB-T2 includes many new techniques not previously used in the DVB family of standards. Some, such as the P1
preamble, are completely novel, having been invented specifically for DVB-T2 and therefore are not yet discussed in
the wider literature. The present document gives further information about these techniques.
The physical layer specification ([i.1]) was written to be precise, rather than descriptive, and the present document aims
to give a more extended explanation of the various elements together with some of the reasons behind the design of the
DVB-T2 system. It attempts to capture as much as possible of the common understanding arrived at by the working
group developing the standard. It also gives additional information intended to make implementation easier, to act as a
cross-check, and to help implementers to avoid some of the more common pitfalls.
As is conventional, [i.1] only describes the generation of the signal on the air, and the present document explains how
the features of this signal are intended to be used in the receiver.
