In this work the study of the electric field propagation is presented for two typical mixed paths in the Amazon region. A first scenario discussed is Belém-Bay Guajará located in the state of Pará. This path has 24% of land and 76% of water. A measurement campaign was carried out over land and over water; using the digital channel 22 of a TV station in the frequency of 521 MHz. Were measured a total of 239 points, including 19 over ground and 220 over water distributed in 3 Radials. Data were compared with various empirical and deterministic propagation models, found in the literature. The metric to test the performance of the models was the RMS error. Furthermore, it is proposed in this paper, the combination of two models: ITU-R P.1546 and Millington. This model had the lowest RMS error compared to the other models used in this work and follows the signal behavior in the transition area land-water, where the signal experiences an increment of the electric field strength, a phenomenon known as "Recovery Effect." Other models used were: Okumura-Hata, Free space, Dyadic Green's function, ITU-R P.1546-5 and Ray Tracing. Such models did not adapt to the signal behavior. In order to evaluate the proposed model a second scenario was used Belém-Mosqueiro, this has 25% of water and 75% of land. In this case, the data was measured only over land, the water data were obtained by simulation. In this situation, the data calculated with the proposed model has agreement with measured data. The simulated water data showed the characteristic of "Recovery Effect," phenomenon that is not described by the other models. It is concluded that the combination of the ITU-R P 1546-5 and Millington models has a better agreement with the data measured on mixed paths land-water than the other models.

Projeto de um monopolo Hi para aplicações no sistema brasileiro de TV digital
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-01-04) ALCÂNTARA NETO, Miércio Cardoso de; BARROS, Fabrício José Brito; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9758585938727609; CAVALCANTE, Gervásio Protásio dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2265948982068382
This research deals with the design and analysis of a planar monopole antenna with modified geometry aiming its use for signal reception of digital TV in Brazil working in the of 470 MHz to 806 MHz. Track this contained in the spectrum of UHF-Ultra High Frequency (300 MHz to 3 GHz). To develop this work was taken as reference the antenna called "The Hi Monopole". What originally was presented to operate in UWB (Ultra Wide Band) at 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. For the development of the proposed work, different techniques of adjustment of the antenna can be used for broadband operation, such as: changes in the structure of antenna, resistive loading, switching, using of parasitic elements and matching structures. The design of broadband antennas can be made from three different approaches: time domain, frequency domain and expansion for singularities method. The frequency domain method was employed in this work to the antenna design proposed, some of the techniques mentioned above were analyzed aiming to increase bandwidth, and made a prototype of the antenna to validate the concepts employed. The antenna was designed for the range of 470 MHz to 890 MHz. the prototype built for this same range presented good results, which validates the technique employed. Positive and negative aspects of use of this technique are discussed throughout the work. The commercial computer program CST® MICROWAVE STUDIO, based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT) was used for simulations in frequency domain.

A Radio propagation model for mixed paths in Amazon environments for the UHF band
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-01-22) ERAS, Leslye Estefania Castro; CAVALCANTE, Gervásio Protásio dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2265948982068382
The present work proposes a radio propagation model for the Amazon region called Mixed Path. The techniques used for Mixed Path model are Geometrical Optics (GO) and the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). Only ten rays are considered the main contributors to calculate the total electric field. Increasing the number of rays does not improve the accuracy of Mixed Path model since the scenario is for receivers located in long distances. Then slope diffraction or multiple reflections means a low electric field that does not contribute significantly to the total electric field. The parameters of Mixed Path model such as electrical constants, antennas height, buildings height among others, are analyzed in order to know the influence of them in the received electric field. Measured data in the central frequency of 521 MHz of a Digital Television station in the city of Belem of Pará are used to validate Mixed Path model. This city is located in the Amazon region of Brazil and presents mixed routes formed by city, river, and forest. Because digital television has a wide coverage and reception flexibility, Mixed Path was designed for receivers at the user’s level for the service of Mobile Digital Television (M-DTV) and for fixed receivers on the rooftops of homes for Home digital television (H-DTV). Finally, the proposed model and other models in the literature are compared with the data measured for M-DTV, being Mixed Path the model with the lowest RMS error with a value of 3.15 dB for a receiver over the river behind the city and behind the forest.
