Development of an 1-Seg ISDB-T Receiver Using Low-cost SDR Hardware

This paper presents the development of an onesegment (1-seg) digital TV receiver for the Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial (ISDB-T) standard, based on Software Defined Radio (SDR). The proposed receiver works in real-time and requires a computer and a low-cost device known as RTL-SDR, for the RF front-end, mixer and analog to digital conversion stages. The rest of signal processing were all done in software, which provides an important framework for study of the ISDB-T standard in practice.
