Field trial of digital terrestrial broadcast reception on train

Abstract

There are many situations when we receive digital terrestrial broadcasting signals . We examined mobile reception in a moving train, JR-East Sobu line, using 3 types of experimental antennas. A helical and rod antenna marked high correct-reception rate. A loop antenna made many errors in the measurement because of its lower-gain. At the stations, strong man-made noise disturbed the reception and decreased correct-reception rate.
