RF Term
Dvb
Dvb is a concept in RF and microwave engineering. This term is commonly encountered in the design, analysis, and testing of radio frequency systems and components. A comprehensive technical definition with formulas, comparison tables, and FAQs will be added in a future update.
Key Equations
DVB-S2 link budget:
C/N = EIRP+G/T−Lpath−k−BWnoise
DVB-T2 capacity:
C = Ncarriers×Rcode×log2(M)×BWeff
Spectral efficiency:
SE = 0.5 (QPSK 1/2) to 4.5 (256QAM 5/6) bps/Hz
Guard interval:
ΔG = 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 (fraction of Tu)
