Abstract :
Latest technological developments have allowed a more efficient use of the frequency spectrum, providing resources for the deployment of fourth generation broadband mobile networks, named LTE, in a portion of UHF band previously allocated to TV broadcasting. However, to cope with this new scenario, the designing criteria of the TV receiving installations need to be reviewed as well as, for existing installations, the problems of coexistence must to be addressed carefully. Accordingly, this study focuses on laboratory results of experimental tests carried out to evaluate interference effects occurring on DVB-T channels and in presence of different MATV configurations, due to radio emissions generated by LTE Base Stations in the 800 MHz band.
