Abstract
For the efficient use of the insufficient frequency resources, a precise prediction of field strength based on various propagation environments should be set up to design of radio stations with reliable transmit power and service coverage. Therefore, many countries have tried to secure the propagation models suitable for their each geographical environments, and also, some models like BCAST were developed by Korea, but these models give the different results compared to measured values. In this paper, based on the measurements of DTV broadcasting services in domestic rural area, analysis and comparison of ITU-R P.1546 and BCAST models provide errors between measured and predicted values, and some points for improving SMI system has been proposed. As a result, P.1546 model provides the valid predicted data similar to measured data, but BCAST model has some problems of large deviation and higher prediction to measured data. In future, these problems and fading loss due to a forest or group of trees, and reflection loss due to a lake or sea need to be studied carefully.
