Abstract

This paper describes a simulation and measurement of digital television signal transmission according to the DVB-T2 standard in Single-Frequency Networks (SFN) over few models of the fading channels. Simulation was done using a software implementation of the DVB-T2 standard with parameters defined for the DVB-T2 test signal that is transmitted in Croatia. Different types of fading channels were used including Gaussian, Ricean, and Rayleigh channels simulating fixed, portable and mobile reception. Besides the simulation, measurement of a typical signal reception in urban zone was done. Results from simulation and measurement were compared and analyzed.
