Channel characterization and antenna diversity in a 6 MHz DVB-T channel

Channel characterization results of 6-MHz-bandwidth channels 67, based on the field test measurements are presented in this paper. The measurements conducted in Ottawa, Canada, at different locations, represent urban, suburban, rural and highway sites. The sounding signal is DVB-T, the European terr...

Description
Summary:Channel characterization results of 6-MHz-bandwidth channels 67, based on the field test measurements are presented in this paper. The measurements conducted in Ottawa, Canada, at different locations, represent urban, suburban, rural and highway sites. The sounding signal is DVB-T, the European terrestrial digital television standard. We use the FPTC - frequency domain pilot time domain correlation - technique to extract the channel impulse responses from the received signals. Furthermore, the antenna diversity at the receiver is applied. As the results, we include the channel impulse responses, the power delay profile and the cross-correlation functions in order to characterize the joint channels statistics
