The digital TV broadcasts have greatly increased worldwide in recent years, especially in Brazil. The establishment and improvement of these transmission systems rely on models that take into account, among other factors, the geographical characteristics of the region, as these contribute to signal degradation. In Brazil, there is a great diversity of scenery and climates. For years several propagation models have been studied many for several frequency bands and types of paths. This thesis proposes an outdoor empirical radio propagation model for UHF band, which is used in digital TV. The proposed model estimates received power values can be applied to non-homogeneous paths and different climates, this latter presents innovative character for the UHF band. Different artificial intelligence techniques were chosen for theoretical and computational basis for having the ability to introduce, organize and describe quantitative and qualitative data quickly and efficiently, making it possible to determine the received power in a variety of settings and climates. The proposed model was applied to a city in the Amazon region with heterogeneous paths and wooded urban areas, fractions of freshwater among others. Measurement campaigns were conducted to obtain data signals from two digital TV stations in the metropolitan area of the city of Belém-Pará to model, compare and validate the model. The results are consistent. The model depicts a distinct difference between the two seasons of the studied year and small RMS errors for all cases studied. The validation of the model was based on the comparison with empirical and deterministic models.

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.
