Abstract

This paper provides results of the radio channel measurements performed in DVB-H network during autumn 2006. The purpose of these measurements was to acquire additional channel information in order to validate the channel models constructed from the earlier measurements [1], [2]. This paper presents the most relevant results of the measurements including Ricean K-factors, RMS delay spreads, total excess delays and the variations of the number of taps. By comparing these results to those presented in [1] can be stated that the values are similar. Therefore, the original models can be considered consistent.
