Abstract
This paper describes the experimental setup and presents initial results of medium wave propagation measurements campaigns that are being carried out in Brazil. The experiment is part of a series of field trials that are being conducted by the Brazilian Government to evaluate the performance of DRM standard in this country, which includes campaigns at MW, HF and VHF frequency bands in the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. A hybrid signal, composed of an analog AM signal and a digital DRM signal, with the same content, were broadcasted in diurnal and nocturnal transmissions. The results presented here include daytime and nighttime statistics of the measurements performed in São Paulo.
