Theory and Experiences of Digital TV Coverage

The sucess of a DTV site project is proportional to the reception facilty and signal stability at the viewer's home. By the technical issue, it depends on de signal intensity and the C/N ratio at the arrival's point. We will discuss the tools and the methods taken to achieve a good project: trustworthy, robust, accessible prices, simple. It will be explored the topics: prediction, analysis, measurement, density versus intensity, SFN and Gap Filler.

Chair: José Frederico Rehme - Diretor da SET, Diretor da TVCI, professor da Universidade Positivo

José Frederico Rehme is SET Teaching Director, Coordinator and Professor of the Electrical Engineering and the Energy Engineering courses at Positivo University and Engineering Director at TVCi.

General aspects of a Digital TV project

Critical decision-making is necessary for the development of a Digital TV deployment project. The first is the choice of propagation model. The modeling is inserted as an element able to describe mathematically the behavior of the electromagnetic wave, as well as its losses. From this it is possible to establish coverage criteria, but are required analysis parameters of the same, to be chosen by the designer. Another aspect to be discussed is the importance of crossing the coverage data with field measurements. Finally, we will deal with the SFN network and gap-filler as a coverage optimization solution, with case studies.

Speaker: Paulo Eduardo dos Reis Cardoso Doutorando / Especialista em Regulação Universidade Estadual de Campinas / Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações

Holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from the FEEC-UNICAMP (2002) and a MSc degree in Electrical Engineering (Electronics) by DEMICFEEC-UNICAMP (2005). He is currently a PhD candidate in the LCVDECOM-FEEC-UNICAMP, searching Digital TV. Licensed from the post of Specialist in Regulating in the Anatel, where it operates in coordination of grants and resources to the provision, working with the licensing and amendment of technical characteristics of broadcasting stations. Previously, he served in the surveillance in broadcasters. He was responsible for the Technical Regulation to Broadcasting in Modulated Frequency and analysis of processes of technical feasibility for inclusion or amendment of the Basic Plan of Distribution Channels of Broadcasting in Modulated Frequency. He participated as an observer in the Federal Government in testing of Digital Radio Broadcasting, both in tests of American Standard - HD Radio, in 2008 and 2012, as in tests of the European standard - DRM, in 2010. He has worked as a telecommunications researcher of the Fundação Centro de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento - CPqD.

Resource optimization for TV coverage: the cost-effectiveness as a criterion for setting parameters.

The choice of parameters to predict coverage are significant elements for the definition of TV network investments, since they define irradiance height, transmitter power and antenna models, with direct impacts on the feasibility of infrastructure deployment and operating costs . We will demonstrate real cases of projects considering these criteria and the results obtained and that can be replicated for the optimization of investments in this step of increasing the coverage of Digital TV.

Speaker: Luiz Ricardo Tonin - Coordinator of Broadcast Projects at SM Facilities

Luiz Ricardo Tonin is an electrical engineer graduated from Universidade Positivo and has 8 years of experience in the field of telecommunications engineering, with expertise in broadcasting, having worked in telephone and radio companies. He is currently Coordinator of Broadcast Projects at SM Facilities, an engineering company that provides technical, implementation and construction services to the broadcasting and telecommunications area. He is a specialist in prediction software and in transmission technician projects, he actively participates in the development of new solutions for the analog switch-off and the migration of the 700MHz band.

Advanced ISDB-T SFN network planning - challenges and opportunities

To be highly effective when conducting broadcast planning requires up-to date knowledge of latest trends and technologies. Detailed knowledge about the huge variety of planning functionalities is as important as information about the technologies themselves. This presentation will introduce to planners and broadcast engineers necessary requirements they need for the complex tasks of modern broadcast planning, such as ISDB-T SFN planning.
