Height of TV towers in Moscow and regions of the Russian Federation, determination of transmitter power

The transmission of digital broadcasting for subscribers’ antennas is carried out at the expense of special RTRS relay centers – TV towers. These TV towers are important when setting up channels, you need to know them in order to use the transmitting parameters taken from the card.

Transmitter power on standard TV tower

In digital television, average power is used to characterize the emitted signal. The difference between peak power and average digital TV signal power (COFDM) is very small.

In large cities, the power of a digital COFDM signal can be from 2–5 kW, in small towns the average power is about 1 kW, in villages it is usually 100 watts.

Height of TV towers in the regions of Russia

The height of the towers in the regions of Russia can vary significantly. The data are presented in the table below:

You can find out the location of the TV tower using an interactive map posted on the CETV website
.

To improve the quality of the digital TV signal, it is necessary that the antenna is directed towards the TV tower, and the power of the amplifier exceeds the antenna parameters. Otherwise, it will not bring the desired result, and you will not notice any improvement in the picture.
