DVB‐SH is one of the most recent video broadcast standards to come from the DVB consortium. It is a hybrid satellite and terrestrial system, which will enable mobile DTV services over vast geographical areas similar to the DTH fixed satellite systems that are commonplace today. A comparison between DTH and DVB‐SH has also shown, thanks to the terrestrial network part, that DVB‐SH is more efficient for indoor and city center reception. The technology available today to support DVB‐SH is based on a long line of technological advances in signal processing and materials processes used in DVB‐T and DVB‐H. These advances have allowed more powerful chipsets to become available in smaller form‐factors using less power, critical for integration into mobile and portable devices. Through the use of advanced DVB‐SH chipsets like the DiBcom DIB29098, DVB‐SH handheld and automotive terminals can be designed and offered at competitive and attractive prices for both OEM and After‐Market applications.
