Analysis of DVB-T2 Coverage in an Urban Area

Frequency spectrum is a limited resource of great importance in the context of nowadays society, considering the continuous expansion of various wireless communication systems. As such, it is essential to have accurate information regarding the coverage of different radio broadcasting systems. In this paper, we analyze the coverage of the DVB-T2 in the urban area of Bucharest, Romania, using the HTZ Communications software environment. Several propagation models were used for obtaining estimates for this coverage and a set of measurements were performed in order to validate the estimations. The correlation between the two sets of obtained results is presented and discussed.
