Your Station Performance: Infrastructure Sharing & Energy Efficiency & Coverage

How to optimize investments, reduce costs with existing infrastructures, often shared and achieve good station performance.
The infrastructure conditions of installation for the shelter of the equipment its power, air conditioning, transmission lines and connections, radiating system and tower, influence the coverage of your station? Does the passive intermodulation caused by the installation (rust on the tower, connectors, disconnected antennas, etc.) interfere with the coverage?
Energy efficiency in the performance of X equipment shelter sharing.
What are the challenges for the internalization of digital TV, using shared infrastructure?
Can City Hall Infrastructures be appropriate to receive the Digital TV system? What are the biggest challenges?
When the analog TV is turned off, will the new Digital TV station be ready to serve the desired coverage area?
The experience of broadcasters and service providers and equipment ..

Ramiro Franco

Optimization of the Transmission System through analysis of installation, infrastructure and Digital signal coverage

Important considerations to be analyzed to minimize destructive interference of the quality of the digital signal transmitted.
Antenna installation site, what is the best option?
As the support structure (tower and bracket) and the shape of the antenna installation can impair the quality of the transmitted signal;
Sharing possibilities (tower x antenna) is it worth?

SFN & GAP Filler: Concepts, practical applications and the importance of care with planning and infrastructure

Over the past few years we have seen the use of SFN increase considerably in Brazil, but there are still many questions about the topic. This lecture simply and directly addresses the basic requirements of this type of network, and also shows that as important as understanding what SFN is, are the necessary care with network planning and the necessary infrastructure so that the good results of the implementations are obtained.
