Hi, Are there any DVB-T experts around? I found something weired in ETSI EN 300744 v.1.5.1 (2004-11) and want to have verifications for my suspect. I implemented a DVB-T receiver according to the DVB-T physical layer standard ETSI EN 300744 v.1.5.1 (2004-11) but it does not work with real signals in the air. It turns out that R'i and Ri in the bit permutation in the symbol interleaver is exchanged, i.e., the standard does not describe what is implemented!!!! In the standard: Table 3a: Bit permutations for the 2K mode ___________________________________________________________ R'i bit positions | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | ___________________________________________________________ Ri bit positions | 0 | 7 | 5 | 1 | 8 | 2 | 6 | 9 | 3 | 4 | ___________________________________________________________ My observation: (it works) ___________________________________________________________ Ri bit positions | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | ___________________________________________________________ R'i bit positions| 0 | 7 | 5 | 1 | 8 | 2 | 6 | 9 | 3 | 4 | ___________________________________________________________ Can anyone share my view?

The receiver has to reverse the operation, is this not what you are seeing?

If so, the signal may have undergone a "spectral inversion" which will have the same effect as reversing the I and Q components and reversing the sense of the differentiual encoding. Mark

Thank you for all answers. The bug was still in my Rx implementation, and the standard is correct. The origianl post was a false alarm... This message was sent using the Comp.DSP web interface on www.DSPRelated.com
