Title
Carrier and Noise Measurements in the Medium Wave Band for Urban Indoor Reception of Digital Radio
Abstract
This paper presents a study of indoor digital radio reception in the Medium Wave band. The results are based on a large database of measurements in indoor locations in cities in northern Spain in frequencies from 600 to 1600 kHz. The paper proposes a prediction model for indoor field strength. The results are combined with indoor noise levels to study the statistics of available C/N (Carrier to Noise) ratios. The model is intended to help broadcasters planning digital broadcasting networks in Medium Wave for indoor reception. Signal time and space variability have also been studied and reference values are provided in the paper. The paper includes curves to calculate indoor losses in respect to ground wave propagation values provided by ITU-R P.368.
