IEC 62002-1:2008 PDF

Overview

IEC 62002-1:2008 - "Mobile and portable DVB‑T/H radio access – Part 1: Interface specification" is an international IEC standard defining radio access requirements for mobile, portable and hand‑held receivers that receive DVB‑T and DVB‑H services. Edition 2.0 (2008) is a technical revision (including Corrigendum 1, July 2008) and specifies informative system aspects and minimum RF performance requirements for three terminal classes: integrated car terminals, portable digital TV sets and hand‑held convergence terminals. The standard also addresses interoperability with integrated cellular radios.

Key updates in the 2008 edition:

• DVB‑H included in the main specification
• Revised performance figures based on new simulations and DVB‑H reference receivers
• DVB‑H support for all MPE‑FEC code rates
• New portable indoor (PI) and portable outdoor (PO) channel models
• New 2× TU‑6 mobile SFN test channel
• Added L4 linearity pattern and DVB‑H performance figures for S1, S2, L1–L4 patterns
• New GSM‑interference measurement method

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard covers the full radio interface and receiver test framework including:

• Terminal categories and receiving conditions (portable vs mobile)
• Supported frequency ranges and channel bandwidths
• DVB‑T/H modes, modulation parameters and tuning procedures
• Transmitter impairments (noise‑like processes, phase noise, group delay) and spectrum masks
• Receiver antenna characteristics and optional external antennas
• Detailed receiver performance metrics: noise model, reference model, C/N performance, sensitivity, maximum input levels
• Channel models for Rayleigh, PI, PO and mobile SFN scenarios
• Interference and immunity tests: selectivity, linearity (S1/S2, L1–L4), impulse interference, EMC
• Interoperability with cellular radios and DVB‑RCT, including GSM interference measurement

Applications and users

IEC 62002‑1:2008 is used to:

• Define RF and receiver specifications for consumer device manufacturers (hand‑held TVs, in‑vehicle receivers)
• Guide chipset/RF front‑end designers on performance targets and test cases
• Provide test procedures for certification labs and conformance testing
• Help broadcasters and network planners assess coverage, SFN synchronization and interference resilience
• Support regulators and standards bodies in defining compliance criteria and spectrum coexistence rules

Typical users: OEMs, semiconductor companies, EMC and RF test houses, broadcasters, mobile network operators and compliance authorities.
