Abstract

A method and an apparatus for receiving broadcast signals thereof are disclosed. The apparatus for receiving broadcast signals, the apparatus comprises a receiver to receive the broadcast signals, a demodulator to demodulate the received broadcast signals by an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme, a frame parser to parse signal frames from the demodulated broadcast signals, a MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) processor to process service data in the parsed signal frames based on a rotation matrix with a rotation angle, a demapper to demap the MIMO processed service data and a decoder to decode the demapped service data.
