2 <title>ISDB-T frontend</title>
3 <para>This section describes shortly what are the possible parameters in the Linux
4 DVB-API called "S2API" and now DVB API 5 in order to tune an ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb
5 demodulator:</para>
6
7 <para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information
8 needed to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible
9 that some very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to
10 tune.</para>
11
12 <para>The information given here should help application writers to know how
13 to handle ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb hardware using the Linux DVB-API.</para>
14
15 <para>The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
16 basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values,
17 but surely some information is left out. For more detailed information
18 see the following documents:</para>
19
20 <para>ARIB STD-B31 - "Transmission System for Digital Terrestrial
21 Television Broadcasting" and</para>
22 <para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial
23 Television Broadcasting".</para>
24
25 <para>In order to read this document one has to have some knowledge the
26 channel structure in ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
27 the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments, that it can
28 have up to 3 layer sharing those segments, and things like that.</para>

40 <para>For ISDB-T the channels are usally transmitted with an offset of 143kHz. E.g. a
41 valid frequncy could be 474143 kHz. The stepping is bound to the bandwidth of
42 the channel which is 6MHz.</para>
43
44 <para>As in ISDB-Tsb the channel consists of only one or three segments the
45 frequency step is 429kHz, 3*429 respectively. As for ISDB-T the
46 central frequency of the channel is expected.</para>

135
136 <para>An ISDB-Tsb channel (1 or 3 segments) can be broadcasted alone or in a
137 set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
138 channel can be received independently. The number of connected
139 ISDB-Tsb segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum
140 bandwidth available.</para>
141
142 <para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
143 broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
144 air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
145 segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
146
147 <para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
148 consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
149 is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.</para>
150
151 <para>An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for
152 the example above, in ISDB-Tsb it is no longer as simple as that.</para>

191 <para>ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
192 ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that

202 <para>Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
203 layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of

207 <para>If the channel is in the partial reception mode
208 (<constant>DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION</constant> = 1) the central segment can be decoded
