Análisis del comportamiento de cobertura e interferencia para el sistema de televisión digital terrestre de las estaciones de Cerro Oriente y Cerro Tasajero ubicadas en el departamento de Norte de Santander.

Abstract

In Colombia, analog television transmissions are being modified mostly by digital transmission, this in order to take advantage of radio spectrum space, improve the quality and capacity of multimedia services. The following project presents an analysis of coverage and interference behavior for the Terrestrial Digital Television (TDT) service of two base stations located in the department of Norte de Santander, Colombia, specifically in Cerro Oriente and Cerro Tasajero, made from the professional practice in the National Spectrum Agency (ANE), in the unit of the Subdirection of Management and Technical Planning of the Spectrum. The development of this, had several stages to meet the purpose of the objectives set, initially was documented in the technical and legal part on the Terrestrial Digital Television service, from this, with the help of a simulation tool, tests were conducted to analyze the behaviors in the TDT signal for the stations mentioned above, taking into account parameters and conditions necessary to provide digital television service. It should be noted that this project was carried out in order to show the existing coverage behavior in some municipalities of the department and its surroundings, as well as to evaluate and identify the interferences that occurred between base stations offering Terrestrial Digital Television (TDT) services.
