Abstract
To prepare field and pilot trials which, in particular, involve service areas with single-frequency networks, DVB transmitters are needed which are not yet available as a commercial product. These transmitters, therefore, use modified existing technology, particularly with respect to the power amplifier. This chapter discusses the adaptation and correction of the tetrode and solid-state amplifiers from analog television for OFDM signals. In addition, preliminary investigations are carried out regarding the development of the OFDM modulator in accordance with the DVB-T specification and for antenna patterns in accordance with new optimization criteria. This also includes an approach to implementing a digital I/Q modulator.
