A measurement-based methodology for the DVB-T2 MISO/SISO gain characterization in experimental networks

This paper presents a novel methodology to characterize the DVB-T2 MISO vs SISO performance using field test measurements. The proposed methodology uses general purpose digital vector signal analyzers to record the required DVB-T2 MISO/SISO IQ (In-phase and in-quadrature) signals in the coverage area to be later processed using a laboratory play out system with a software based custom DVB-T2 receiver and a commercial DVB-T2 receiver.
