ISDB-T single-chip solutions

Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) is a standard for digital television (DTV) and digital radio used in Japan by the country’s radio and television stations.

GDM7302

GCT’s GDM7302, a single-chip ISDB-T mobile TV receiver, enables better mobile TV reception and ability to tune in two channels simultaneously. This cutting-edge solution features diversity and dual channel reception. GCT’s mobile TV receiver offers, a complete single-chip solution for ISDB-T one-seg and three-seg broadcasting services. This solution is the first ISDB-T receiver IC in the industry to feature a two receiver chain which can be configured for diversity or dual channel reception.

GCT ISDB-T solution integrates the radio frequency (RF) front end plus demodulator into one monolithic integrated circuit, enabling power savings, smaller size and bill-of-materials reduction.

Diversity and Dual Channel Reception

With its two integrated tuners, GDM7302 can be configured for diversity reception, automatically receiving the optimal broadcasting signals from multiple antennas; thereby improving the quality and reliability of the wireless link. GCT’s proprietary algorithm for diversity reception offers optimal power consumption and better coverage through an adaptive control scheme.

Alternatively, GDM7302’s two receiver chain can be configured for dual channel reception, simultaneously receiving two channels of programming, allowing for various enhanced viewing experiences such as picture-in-picture and background recording and scanning. Additional benefits of GDM7302’s architecture are fast channel switching, seamless channel handover and on-the-fly switching between the diversity and dual channel configurations, without any hardware or software modifications.
