Popis: A study of DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) signal variability for indoor reception environments is stated in this paper. A commercial signal was measured and analyzed in order to obtain C/N threshold values that account time and space fluctuations. In this way, results increase the accuracy of the values provided by the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standard and other studies that assume static propagation channels. On the other hand, the fading influence due to people walking near the reception antenna has been proved as critical for correct reception. Characterization of this effect has been made in terms of its depth and duration. The results obtained results improve DVB-T network planning and could be also relevant for other technologies sharing similar frequencies and bandwidths.
