Abstract

This paper presents the results of field and laboratory measurements with ISDB-T_B DTV receivers, in order to evaluate its susceptibility to interference from commercial FM stations. The efficacy of an FM trap as countermeasure to minimize FM interference was also evaluated. The measurements were performed for DTV reception in the High VHF and in the UHF bands, in set-top boxes and in integrated DTV.
