Abstract
This
paper describes the coverage prediction methods developed
for planning DVB-T services in the UK. The method,
known as the "UK Planning Model" (UKPM),
has been jointly developed by four UK organisations
concerned with DVB-T planning. The paper outlines
the approach for predicting received field strength
with particular discussion of profile extraction,
radial prediction and the use of clutter data to
take into account the effect of buildings and trees.
Transmitter and population databases are also discussed
