Abstract :
In this paper we present an evaluation of the channel properties for a DRM+ system in the frequency Band from 174-230 MHz (VHF-Band III). Simulations of the system performance at different frequencies and with different receiver velocities are shown. Other aspects that have an effect on the system performance at higher frequencies are analysed. Additionally, measurements in the VHF-Band II and III are presented to analyse and compare the performance in the real-world. The theoretical work show that reception is possible up to receiver velocities of around 200 km/h in Band III. The measurements show similar results for Band II and III.
