Abstract

Pan-European project B21C (broadcasting for the 21st century) aims to develop technology for DVB-T2 (digital video broadcasting, terrestrial), which is a spectrum efficient broadcasting system for future. The evaluated technologies include MIMO, which has been widely studied in perspective of B3G (beyond 3rd generation) systems, but never for any UHF band systems. In addition, the latest decision of WRC (World Radiocommunication Conference) highlights that the B3G systems can be deployed in UHF bands. This paper introduces a measurement campaign performed in UHF frequency and presents the most important results with regard to channel modeling and MIMO.
