Abstract :
The paper presents measurement results obtained in the first phase field test campaign carried out in the UHF band in Ottawa with the aim of characterizing mobile reception of digital terrestrial television. The temporal and spatial variations of the impulse response are analyzed. An antenna diversity receiver was used and the signals received from each antenna are then compared and the diversity reception achieved using switched diversity.
