Abstract

An apparatus for transmitting a broadcast signal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bootstrap generation unit for generating a bootstrap for signaling a system bandwidth field, corresponding to a system bandwidth for a post-bootstrap, and a baseband sampling rate coefficient; a preamble generation unit for generating a preamble located immediately following the bootstrap in a broadcast signal frame; and a payload generation unit for generating one or more subframes located immediately following the preamble in the broadcast signal frame. Here, the preamble may include L1 signaling data, and the L1 signaling data may include a reduced carrier coefficient.
