Abstract :
This paper gives an insight on electromagnetic wave propagation aspects, RF signal coverage calculation methods and propagation models as well as propagation model tuning. At first, the coverage prediction of a DVB-T2 network is done without using clutter data. Comparing the measurement data with predicted values, considerable differences were noted, especially in mostly plains area (eastern parts of Croatia - Slavonia and Baranja), and mostly on measurement locations distant from the transmitter sites. During further analysis, the forests were identified as a factor contributing to such differences. Subsequently, clutter data was introduced in calculation, and model tuning was done to reduce the prediction errors to a more acceptable level.
