Calibrate -SDR is based on the idea of synchronization of devices by a constant frequency part present in the signal. This tool currently uses DAB+ signals to calculate the PPM shifting in frequency. I am enhancing it by using the DVB-T signal for this purpose and try to help more people out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Further reading about initial Calibrate-SDR refer to this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DVB-T<\/strong>, short for Digital Video Broadcasting \u2014 Terrestrial<\/strong>, is the DVB<\/a> European-based consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television<\/a> that was first published in 1997[1]<\/a><\/sup> and first broadcast in Singapore<\/a> in February 1998. This system transmits compressed digital audio, digital video, and other data in a MPEG transport stream<\/a>, using coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing<\/a> (COFDM or OFDM) modulation. It is also the format widely used worldwide (including North America) for Electronic News Gathering<\/a> for transmission of video and audio from a mobile newsgathering vehicle to a central receive point.<\/p>Wikipedia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Wikipedia for providing historical details about this signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Would suggest reading the technical standard for more detailed idea about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.etsi.org\/deliver\/etsi_en\/300700_300799\/300744\/01.06.02_60\/en_300744v010602p.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I would cover only the part that was of value for me. Going through this paper and some research. I found out that DVB-T signals have a constant part called pilot inside the ODFM frame structure of DVB-T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n So in addition to the transmitted data an OFDM frame contains: <\/p>\n\n\n\n – scattered pilot cells;<\/p>\n\n\n\n – continual pilot carriers;<\/p>\n\n\n\n – TPS carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The modulation of all data cells is normalized so that E[c \u00d7 c\u2217]= 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All cells which are continual or scattered pilots are transmitted at \u201cboosted power level\u201d so that for these E[c \u00d7c\u2217] = 16\/9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pilots can be used for frame synchronization, frequency synchronization, time synchronization, channel estimation, transmission mode identification and can also be used to follow the phase noise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The carriers are determined by Kmin = 0 and Kmax = 1 704 in2K mode and 6 816 in 8K mode respectively. The spacing between adjacent carriers is 1\/TU while the spacing between carriers Kmin and Kmax are determined by (K-1)\/TU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The numerical values for the OFDM parameters for the 8K and2K modes are given in tables for 8 MHz channels, for 6 MHz and 7 MHz channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We would collect some continual pilots and average them to get an overall current frequency. We would create an array of all the indexes of the continual pilot and use it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we would subtract them with the known frequency of DVB-T. Hence, we would have the PPM shift.<\/strong> So that’s much of what we are doing for our tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s more interesting to work on once done with the boring Research work.<\/p>Anonymous Developer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Link to working repository is – https:\/\/github.com\/AerospaceResearch\/CalibrateSDR\/tree\/dvbt<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am attaching a test file too for a better understanding of this tool.

I am writing this blog to share my work progress with everyone out there. I have been working on extending the limitations in the Calibrate-SDR tool by adding support of DVB-T and DVB-T2 (terrestrial) signals. Because these signals are broadly used in Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia region.
