Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services - Part 2-2: Interference issues for DVB-T reception in the presence of LTE base station signals

Scope

The Technical Reports describes the interference situation which may occur when besides the wanted broadcast signals of DVB-T/-T2 formats also signals from base stations of mobile radio services (unwanted signals) are received by the same terrestrial broadcast antenna and by an active equipment (amplifier) directly connected to the antenna output. The TR relates in a first step to the special frequency neighbourhood situation between DVB-T signals up to 790 MHz (channel 60) and LTE base station signals starting at 791 MHz. This neighbourhood situation is currently already in operation in many European countries. The TR proposes different measures by which such interference situations can be reduced to an acceptable level or can even be completely avoided. Measures are described for application in already installed networks and also in new networks to be installed in the future.
