Signal Reception Measurements Using Mobile HD Radio and DRM Systems in Two Urban Regions in Brazil

This paper present mobile measurements of digital radio made in dense urban regions of Brazil. Measurements at medium wave were carried out in São Paulo and Minas Gerais using the two standards available for this frequency range DRM and HD Radio. Comparison of electrical field strength with predictions from ITU recommendation are presented. Large- and small-scale fading probability distribution functions of the received signals were estimated for each measurements route.
