Abstract
The Japanese standard for digital terrestrial television is called ISDB-T, i.e. Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting – Terrestrial, which was adopted in 1999, quite a long time after DVB-T and ATSC. This delay made it possible to take into account also the experience gained with the older standards. Unlike ATSC, where a single-carrier method is used, it was decided (correctly) for ISDB-T to use a COFDM multicarrier system as in DVB-T. ISDB-T is even more complex than DVB-T; it is also more robust because of the greater interleaving with time. The first pilot station was installed on the Tokyo Tower and overall, ISDB-T started with eleven pilot stations throughout Japan.
