Abstract:

A new area of digital television broadcasting has emerged in
the from of hand held reception. This has created a need for
new standard channel models, which describe more accurately
the conditions in portable reception. Hence, the Finnish partners
of the multinational CELTIC Wing-TV project performed
a comprehensive measurement campaign during autumn 2005.
The analysis of the measurement results show that in most scenarios
a strong specular or line-of-sight component is present
and clearly dominating. This is noted from the very large values
of Rician K-factor. The SFN characteristics of the DVB-H
reception is clearly visible while considering the RMS delay
spreads, total excess delays and variations of the number of
taps. Based on the analysis of the measured data this contribution
presents novel tapped delay line (TDL) channel models
suitable for DVB-H testing.
