FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

4 Terminal categories
In this standard three different terminal categories are considered. The requirements are
covering all categories unless otherwise stated.
The terminal categories are:
a) Integrated car terminals
– 12 – 62002-1 © IEC:2008(E)
This category covers DVB-T/H terminals installed in a car and where the antenna is
integral with the car.
b) Portable digital TV sets
This category covers terminals, which are intended for receiving normal DVB-T MPEG-2
based digital TV services indoors and outdoors with terminal attached antennas. This
category is divided into two subcategories.
1) The receiver screen size is typically greater than 25 cm and the receiver may be
battery or mains powered. Typically, the terminal is stationary during the reception. An
example of the antenna construction may be an adjustable telescope or wide-band
design, either active or passive, attached to the receiver.
2) Pocketable digital TV-receiver. The terminal is battery operated and can be moved
during use. Usually the antenna is integral with the terminal.
c) Hand-held portable convergence terminals
This category covers small battery powered hand-held convergence terminals with built in
cellular radio like GSM, GPRS or UMTS. The terminals have the functionality of a mobile
phone and can receive IP-based services using DVB-H over DVB-T physical layer. The
DVB-T antenna and the cellular antenna are both integral with the terminal.
5 Definition of receiving conditions
5.1 Portable reception
This is when a portable receiver (terminal category b1) with an attached or integral antenna is
used indoors or outdoors at a minimum height of 1,5 m above floor or ground level. It is
assumed that the receiving antenna is omni-directional. It is also assumed that the antenna
and any nearby large objects are stationary. Extreme cases, such as reception in completely
)
shielded rooms, are disregarded. [1]
As a special case of portable reception a small hand-held portable receiver (terminal category
b2 or c) is used indoors or outdoors at a minimum height of 1,0 m above floor or ground level.
It is assumed that the receiving antenna is omni-directional. It is also assumed that the
channel conditions can change due to slow movements (≤3 km/h) of the antenna and any
nearby large objects. Extreme cases, such as reception in completely shielded rooms, are
disregarded.
The main difference between portable and hand-held portable reception is the antenna gain of
the terminal.
5.2 Mobile reception
This applies to the use of integrated car terminals (terminal category a) with speeds higher
than 3 km/h. It is assumed that the receiving antenna is omni directional with a minimum
height above ground level of 1,5 m. Other vehicles such as buses or high-speed trains could
be considered as special cases.
A small hand-held portable receiver (terminal category b2 or c) used within a car or train
could also be considered as a case of mobile reception. [2]

6 Frequencies and channel bandwidths
6.1 Channel frequencies
The channel frequencies of bands III, IV and V are given below 6 MHz, 7 MHz and 8 MHz
channel rasters are used in various countries. The centre frequencies fc of the incoming DVB-
T RF-signals are the following.
VHF III
For countries using 8 MHz channel raster
fc = 178 MHz +(N-6) × 8 MHz +f offset
N = {6, …,12} (VHF channel number)
For countries using 7 MHz channel raster
fc =
177,5 MHz +(N-5) × 7 MHz +f offset
N = {5, …,12} (VHF channel number)
For countries using 6 MHz channel raster
fc =
177,0 MHz + (N-7) × 6 MHz +f offset
N = {7, …,13} (VHF channel number)
In some countries offsets may be used:
Preferred offset is ± n × 1/6 MHz. n = { 1, 2,…}

UHF IV and V
For countries using 8 MHz channel raster
fc =
474 MHz + (N-21) × 8 MHz +f offset
n = {21, …,69} (UHF channel number)
For countries using 7 MHz channel raster
fc =
529,5 MHz +(N-28) × 7 MHz +f offset
n = {28, …,67} (UHF channel number)
For countries using 6 MHz channel raster
fc =
473,0 MHz +(N-14) × 6 MHz +f offset
n = {14, …,83} (UHF channel number)
In some countries offsets may be used:
Preferred offset is ± n × 1/6 MHz. n = { 1, 2,…}
In the UK n = 1.
The error in the centre frequency (fc) of the transmitted RF-signal should not exceed 500 Hz
in MFN. In SFN the error in the centre frequency (fc) of the transmitted RF-signal should not
exceed 1 Hz.
6.2 Supported frequency ranges
The receivers in terminal categories a and b1 shall be able to receive all channels in the VHF
band III and UHF bands IV and V. VHF III can be left out in market areas, where it is not used.
The receivers in terminal category b2 shall be able to receive all channels in UHF bands IV
and V, VHF III is an option depending on the market area needs. The receivers in terminal
category c shall be able to receive all channels in UHF band IV and V, provided that the
terminal does not support GSM 900.
In case GSM 900 is used in a convergence terminal (category c), the usable frequency range
is limited to channel 55 [746 MHz] due to the interoperability considerations. Supported
frequency ranges are shown in Table 1.
