Abstract

This paper presents the results of a field measurement campaign at the experimental COFDM 8K digital terrestrial television network developed by the partners of the VIDITER project in Madrid (Spain). This article focuses on the field strength spatial variation distribution inside small coverage areas. Due to the fact that the distribution parameters strongly depend on the survey area type, during this first stage the only environments taken into account have been those traditionally considered as suburban
