Abstract

This paper presents the field trials carried out in Bilbao (Spain) for testing and analyzing the performance of the DVB-T2 indoor (fixed and pedestrian) reception. Test services with different DVB-T2 and T2-Lite configuration modes have been broadcasted and indoor measurements have been carried out. As a result, signal to noise ratio threshold values for DVB-T2 indoor reception have been obtained. These values update those provided by previous studies and are also valid for planning tools to be used by broadcasters in the development of DVB-T2 networks.
