EL SEGUNDO, CA – AWR has introduced the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) library for its Visual System Simulator (VSS) software. The DVB library supports Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial (DVB-T) and Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld (DVB-H). It is also compliant with the ETSI EN 300 744 V1.5.1 (2004–06) specifications.
The library contains a configurable DVB signal source with standard framing structure, channel coding and modulation. Using error vector magnitude, adjacent channel power ratio, eye diagrams and spectral measurements, designers are able to evaluate the performance of DVB receiver circuits at the component.
