SUMMARY Within the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) family of standards, DVB‐SH (satellite to handheld devices) is the first standard for a hybrid system offering parallel reception of satellite and terrestrial signals. In this paper, we discuss the architecture and implementation of a full‐featured DVB‐SH receiver. In addition, a laboratory test bed including a DVB‐SH signal generator that can be used for DVB‐SH system validation and receiver characterization is presented. We provide some key results of receiver performance measurements in typical channel conditions. Finally, we highlight the advantage of a multi‐frequency network configuration in case of a hybrid reception scenario. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
