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.
