Evaluating Service Availability for ATSC 3.0 Single Frequency Networks
Mats Ek and Bill Soreth
Progira Radio Communications
The AFCCE FCC Reception will be held the same evening. Please go here to register separately for this event.
The ATSC 3.0 standard will permit broadcasters to offer many new services to devices not traditionally considered when designing a transmitter site. This new standard also allows for the delivery of more uniform service over a desired coverage area by operating additional transmitters in a Single Frequency Network (SFN). Evaluating the available Field Strength at a given receive location is no longer sufficient to predict if service will be available. This presentation discusses a presentation format that combines Field Strength, self-interference, receiver type and other critical ATSC 3.0/SFN parameters in a single plot for ease of presentation and interpretation, using Progira network Planning software. Examples with reception problems and their improved versions will be investigated.
Networking starts at 11:45 AM with Lunch beginning at 12:30 PM
