Abstract :
An HDTV broadcasting system that uses low-power repeaters arranged in a cellular fashion to extend the service area of a primary advanced TV (ATV) system is described. Examples of ATV extended coverage contours based on DigiCipher high-definition TV (HDTV) measured performance parameters and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) propagation tables are presented
