I wasn't in the competition. I wish I was as young as those kids! They
were just using my open source code as the basis for the competition. I
had developed the code a few years ago and it was accepted into the GNU
Radio project as part of the digital television component (which
includes transmitters for DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC and cable
QAM and receivers for ATSC and DVB-T).

The cool part is that they came up with some very good optimizations and
submitted them for inclusion back into GNU Radio. So the SDR open source
community wins too.
It was just good match for Rohde and Schwarz. They are very much
involved in DVB-T2 technology (both test equipment and transmission
equipment), so it was a natural for their competition. Plus Germany has
just switched from DVB-T to DVB-T2. More info here:

for raw processing power versus cost.
Just to blow my horn a little, my SDR DVB-T2 transmitter code was used in
the Rohde and Schwarz engineering competition held this summer. Teams
were judged on optimizations to the code.
You didn’t say what team, and were you in that video? Ron's famous! (Clever
names, e.g. Corrupted Bits and 3-QAM. Too bad such cute names aren't used in
the commercial world!)
