Measurement results of transmit delay diversity for DVB-T networks

Abstract

Measurement Campaign on Transmit Delay Diversity for Mobile DVB-T/H Systems

“…The two amplifiers did not introduce any significant non-linear effects within the power operational range. The power transfer system was calibrated and the power levels were carefully measured, adjusted and monitored during the measurements using a power measurement device with calibration traceable to national standards [15] [17]. In the MISO case each antenna transmitted half of the EIRP of the SISO case.…”

“…The signal quality at full output power was comparable for both transmitters. A preliminary set of driving measurements presented in [15] was performed on a radial route to test the average received signal strength indication (RSSI), carrier to noise ratio (CNR) and reception quality…”

“…Measurement results deploying a real DVB-T receiver in a laboratory test bench are described in [12] [13]. Preliminary results for DVB-T field trials are presented in [14] [15]. This paper presents an extensive and carefully planned DVB-T field trial performed from 2007 to the summer of 2008 in Uxbridge (UK).…”
