Method and Apparatus for Transmitting Broadcast Signal

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for transmitting a broadcast signal. The method includes: performing dividing processing on an antenna array in a multi-antenna system to obtain multiple subarrays; obtaining a basic weight vector of each subarray among the multiple subarrays, where the basic weight vector makes a beam peak-to-average power ratio of each subarray lower than a preset threshold and makes beam patterns of different subarrays complementary to each other in a direction dimension; performing, according to a weight coefficient in each basic weight vector, weighted processing on a transmit signal of an array element in a subarray corresponding to the each basic weight vector to obtain a first signal and use the array element to transmit the first signal. The present invention implements full coverage of the broadcast signal from the multi-antenna system in all directions in a cell or a sector.
