Digital Video Broadcast standards are used for communication channels. DVB systems distribute data using a variety of approaches, including:

  • Satellite: DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-SH.
  • Cable: DVB-C, DVB-C2.
  • Terrestrial television: DVB-T, DVB-T2.
  • Digital terrestrial television for handhelds: DVB-H, DVB-SH.
  • Microwave: using DTT (DVB-MT), the MMDS (DVB-MC), and/or MVDS standards (DVB-MS)

These distribution systems differ mainly in the modulation schemes used and error correcting codes used, due to the different technical constraints.

  • DVB-S (SHF) uses QPSK, 8-PSK or 16-QAM.
  • DVB-S2 uses QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK or 32-APSK, at the broadcasters decision. QPSK and 8-PSK are the only versions regularly used.
  • DVB-C (VHF/UHF) uses QAM: 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-QAM or 256-QAM.
  • DVB-T (VHF/UHF) uses 16-QAM or 64-QAM (or QPSK) in combination with (C)OFDM and can support hierarchical modulation.
