Recently, the digital television transition from analog television to digital television has been progressing in terrestrial broadcasting. As a result of the DTV transition, additional reassignments and deployments of TV White spaces (TVWS) caused by co-channel interference (CCI) were needed. In this paper, we investigate the TVWS caused by CCI using Longley-Rice and ITU-R P.1546 propagation model, which are the most widely-used propagation model. In addition, we analyze the service coverage radius and CCI radius according to the height of transmitter antenna and transmitting power. The results show that the ratios of CCI radius to service coverage radius in Longley-Rice and ITU-R P.1546 propagation model are about 2.54 and 2.07, respectively.

This paper compares various propagation models developed by several researchers with the measurements in Korea. The models we have considered are Okumura model, Longley-Rice model, ITU-R model and Lee model. The measured signal is vertically IXllarized E -field transmitted from Mt. Namsan at 320MHz. According to the result, Okumura model shows the best performance for the overall test IXlints, and ITU-R model has a good performance as Okumura model for receiving points above lOkm from the transmitter.

Recent complex battle field demands Network Centric Warfare(NCW) ability to control various parts into a cohesive unit. In path planning filed, the NCW ability increases complexity of path planning algorithm, and it has to consider a communication coverage map as well as traditional parameters such as minimum radar exposure and survivability. In this paper, pros and cons of various propagation models are summarized, and we suggest a coverage map generation method using a Longley-Rice propagation model. Previous coverage map based on line of sight has significant discontinuities that limits selection of path planning algorithms such as Dijkstra and fast marching only. If there is method to remove discontinuities in the coverage map, optimization based path planning algorithms such as trajectory optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) can also be used. In this paper, the Longley-Rice propagation model is used to calculate continuous RF strengths, and convert the strength data using smoothed leaky BER for the coverage map. In addition, we also suggest other types of rough coverage map generation using a lookup table method with simple inputs such as terrain type and antenna heights only. The implemented communication coverage map can be used various path planning algorithms, especially in the optimization based algorithms.

In this paper, we make plans for facilities, the 8-VSB DTV transmission system, installed in the near future, based on presently NTSC TV operating it. First of all we estimate transmission power for analog NTSC, digital 8-VSB terrestrial broadcasting and the effective condition of optimal receiving power result from it. It's also to estimate optimal receiving condition by using Longley-Rice's Field Strength calculating method that is to guess a profile between transmitting station and many receiving points. The 8-VSB DTV Propagation aims to high-speed transmission rates of 19.39Mbps datum to enable HDTV(High Definition Television) at NTSC 6MHz bandwidth. First of all, an optimization of field strength between transmission station and receiver must deal with considerable. Because of these reasons, 8-VSB DTV transmission needs effective extension for NTSC TV service coverage. Finally we present the transmitting output that is expected in changing NTSC VHF to DTV UHF for maintaining the transmitting output of NTSC TV that is equal to 8-VSB DTV in service coverage.

현재 운용중인 NTSC송신시스템을 근거로 가까운 장래에 설치되어 운용될 8-VSD DTV전송시스템의 재원을 설계한다. 먼저 아나로그 NTSC와 디지털 8-VSH DTV의 지상파 방송의 경우 최적의 수신전계를 유지할 수 있는 조건을 검토하고, Longley-Rice의 전계강도 산출법을 이용해서 수신을 위한 최소한의 전계강도의 임계값을 산출한다 8-VSH DTV전송은 NTSC 6MHz대역에서 HDTV가 가능하도록 19.39Mbps의 데이타를 고속으로 전송하는데 그 목표fmf 두고 있으므로 무엇보다 송 · 수신점 사이의 전계강도의 최적화는 중요한 문제이므로 8-VSB DTV전송은 NTSC 서비스 커버리지에 비하여 확장되거나 효율적이어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 산출결과 NTSC가 8-VSH DTV와 동일한 서비스 커버리지를 유지하기 위하여 NTSC VHF에서 DTV UHF로 전환시 필요한 송신출력과 NTSC UHF에서 DTV UHF로의 전환시 필요한 송신출력을 산출한다.

This paper introduces the optimal disposition of direction finder using EM(Electro-magnetic) wave propagation analysis which is based on LR(Longley-Rice) propagation model and the characteristics of direction finder, emitter and terrain. Initial model is simulated and modified to minimize propagation error as a result of the field trials. Proposed analysis used line-of-sight analysis and mountain-top extraction algorithm to optimize the disposition in the assigned area and the result can be displayed in the 3D map in order of the percentage coverage for direction finding possibility area.

방송을 포함한 무선통신 분야에서 전파전파 모델링에 의한 서비스 구역예측은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 대부분의 모델들이 전파전파의 물리량을 정확히 알아내는데 어려움을 가지고 있어 광범위한 측정에 기반한 통계치와 전자파 이론을 기초로 하여 일정범위의 정확도로 예측을 하고 있다. 우리나라 DTV 방송은 8-VSB방식으로 디지털 방송 서비스가 확산되고 있다. 2002년 수도권을 완료하고 2003년 광역시를 비롯하여 2005년 시 군 지역으로 서비스가 예정되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 Longley-Rice 전파전파 모델을 적용하고 미 상무부의 GLOBE 지형정보를 이용하여 DTV 서비스 구역을 예측하고자 한다.

It designs the general description of 8-VSB DTV transmission system will be installed and operated in future on the basis of NTSC TV transmission system in operation now. First of all, it investigates a condition that can maintain optimum received field in case of ground wave broadcasting with analog NTSC and digital 8-VSB DTV. Also it calculates critical value of minimum field strength fur receiving by using field strength calculation method of Longley-Rice. The 8-VSB DTV transmission sets its goal in transmission of data with 19.39Mbps at high speed in order to be available of HDTV in the band of NTSC 6MHz. Accordingly, the optimum of field strength between transmission and receiving points most of all is important problem. So,8-VSB DTV transmission should be enlarged or effective compared with NTSC service coverage. This study is to calculate the transmission power necessary in switching from NTSC VHF to DTV UHF and from NTSC UHF to DTV UHF for maintaining service coverage that NTSC is equal to 8-VSB DTV as a result of calculation.
