Abstract :
This paper presents the field trials and the coverage measurements carried out in urban areas in the first experimental terrestrial DAB (T-DAB) network at L-band in Spain. The trials focused on obtaining the parameters that characterize the propagation channel for different urban environments. The results are discussed taking into consideration recommended parameters and values given by international organizations (ITU-R, ETSI) as well as the ones obtained in former experimental networks worldwide.
