Performance assessment based on field measurements of mobile satellite services over hybrid networks in S-band

This paper summarises the results of several sessions of measurements executed in the context of the research project named "J-ORTIGIA". The scope of the project was to validate all kinds of hybrid reception supported by the DVB-SH able to counteract fading in satellite and terrestrial environments. The results of the measurements have also contributed to the 2nd issue of the DVB-SH Implementation Guidelines.
