Abstract

This paper presents the tests of Brazilian digital TV system (SBTVD) carried out to evaluate the performance on mobile reception conditions. The majority of digital television stations in Sao Paulo is configured with hierarchical modulation (one high definition (HD) program and one low definition (LD) program). Considering these two programs, the main areas of Sao Paulo city area were evaluated and mapped, in order to show the places where the signal needs to be improved.
