Abstract(in English) The mobile reception quality of terrestrial digital broadcasting with switch diversity in consideration of channel estimation errors caused by switching is investigated by computer simulation. Generally, the bit error rate (BER) performance of antenna switch diversity is degraded by abrupt phase changes due to switching. We show that the switching rate of diversity is reduced by using a directional antenna and BER performance is improved. An ESPAR (Electrically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna is used as the directional antenna. The switching beam patterns along the direction of mobile traveling give the best BER performance as the switching rate of diversity is reduced 40% and the maximum diversity gain is about 4dB at BER 10^<-2> when the maximum Doppler frequency is 20Hz.
