Brief Description

Reliable coverage of specific regions is of central importance for terrestrial broadcast network operators. They use complex simulation programs during the planning phase to predict the coverage that will be provided by planned transmitter sites. However, because it is impossible to make a detailed determination of a region's complex propagation characteristics in advance, a series of real field measurements are needed after commissioning to verify that the planned network coverage was achieved.
