ATACHMENT I
Depending on the configured parameters we are going to obtain one particular channel capacity (output useful bit rate). In
order to make an estimation of this output bits rate, we have to take into account the following parameters:

Where:
Fs = Symbols frequency (symbols/sec) fs=1/Ts
Ts = Symbol duration (Symbol Time + Guard Interval time)
b = Number of bits per symbol (depending on the modulation)
L = Number of data carriers (depending of FFT mode)

FEC Cod. = FEC Codification (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8)
Reed-Salomon Cod. = Codification made by the means of Reed Salomon algorithm (188/204)
Case study example
For example, in the case of a DVB-T transmission in Spain the configured parameters would be the following: 8k mode,
2/3 FEC, ¼ guard intervals, 64QAM constellation, for an 8 MHz channel and using the previous formula you will get the
following channel useful capacity:
Mbps Tb
useful
905 . 19
Note: As you select a configuration with a higher output channel capacity, the protection grade against
mistakes gets proportionally decreased.
Next it is shown the channel capacity for systems without hierarchy in all the cases of constellation, guard interval and
codification relation, for transmissions of 8MHz, 7MHz, 6MHz y 5MHz (DVB-H).
The useful capacity channel is identical for modes 2k, 4k (DVB-H) and 8k.
