DVB-T Basics of DVB-T
1 The length of the Guard Interval can be chosen. It is a trade off between data
rate and SFN capability. The longer the guard interval the larger is the potential SFN area without creating intersymbol
interference (ISI). It is possible to operate SFNs which do not fulfill the guard interval condition if the self-
interference is properly planned and monitored.

DVB-T Technical description of a DVB-T transmitter
1 to decrease receiver complexity, every OFDM block is extended, copying in front of it its own end (cyclic prefix). The width of such guard interval can be 1/32, 1/16,
1/8, or 1/4 that of the original block length. Cyclic prefix is required to operate single
frequency networks, where there may exist an ineliminable interference coming from
several sites transmitting the same program on the same carrier frequency.

transmission is in the downlink direction each of these resulting

Guard interval
1 In telecommunications, 'guard intervals' are used to ensure that
distinct transmissions do not interfere with one another. These
transmissions may belong to different users (as in Time division multiple access|TDMA) or to the
same user (as in Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing|
OFDM).https://store.theartofservice.com/the-guard-interval-toolkit.html
Guard interval
1 The purpose of the guard interval is to introduce immunity to propagation
delays, echoes and reflections, to which digital data is normally very
sensitive.

Guard interval - Use in digital communications systems
1 In COFDM, the beginning of each symbol is preceded by a guard
interval. As long as the echoes fall within this interval, they will not
affect the receiver's ability to safely decode the actual data, as data is only interpreted outside the guard
interval.

Guard interval - Use in digital communications systems
1 It is a common misconception that each TDMA timeslot begins with a guard interval, however the ITU Technical Specifications (such as
GSM 05.05) clearly define the guard period as being at the end of each timeslot, thus providing protection
against data loss within that timeslot, and protection against interference
to the following timeslothttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-guard-interval-toolkit.html
Guard interval - Use in digital communications systems
1 Longer guard periods allow more distant echoes to be tolerated.
However, longer guard intervals reduce the channel efficiency. For

1 Reception difficulties can arise, however, when the relative delay of multipaths exceeds the OFDM guard

difficulties due to this issue when there is a lift, such as when there's
