16-2 Fading characteristics of the digital terrestrial broadcast link at Takada relay station : Characteristics of long-range sea path propagation

Abstract

Large fluctuation of field-strength is frequently caused by long-range sea-path propagation. This paper describes the result of the field-strength measurement of DTTB signals transmitted from Niigata main station at Takada relay station. Degradation of the received signals was also discussed. Necessity to improve signal quality is proposed for long-range sea-path propagation.
