Broadcast Planning Tool CHIRplus_BC (LF/MF)
Training Focus
This course will focus on LF/MF frequency and coverage planning using CHIRplus_BC. It will start with an overview on the international frequency plans covering the LF and MF frequency bands, i.e. GE75 and RJ81, available databases and coordination rules. Special focus will be given to the LF/MF specific ground wave and sky wave propagation, day time and night time coverage analysis as well as interference calculations. Examples and case studies will be shown for analog and digital (DRM) systems using CHIRplus_BC. Course Objectives After completing the course, participants will be able to use CHIRplus_BC in a very knowledgeable way. In addition to the use of the tool, delegates will also understand the theoretical and practical background to the calculations. Intended for This course is intended for those who have a basic knowledge of broadcast, who are interested in broadcast planning and who may be employed in broadcasters, network operators or regulators.
