Assessment of the Nigerian Television Authority NTA , Abuja, Signal Strength with Atmospheric Components

This research investigates the Nigerian Television Authority NTA , Abuja, signal strength in relation to the variability of atmospheric temperature and atmospheric pressure during March, June, August, December 2023. The study aims to analyze the impact of atmospheric conditions on TV signal propagation, focusing on how changes in temperature and pressure affect signal strength. Data was processed using computational models and simulations based on atmospheric parameters obtained from meteorological records. The work involved the analysis of signal attenuation due to varying temperature and pressure conditions typical of the specified months. Results indicate significant fluctuations in signal strength across different atmospheric conditions, highlighting the importance of weather variability in broadcasting reliability. It was also observed that the NTA signal strength is indirectly proportional with the atmospheric temperature and atmospheric pressure as indicated in the correction coefficient of 0.12, 0.24, 0.63 and 0.04 in March, April, August and December for temperature and, 0.03, 0.07, 0.12 and 0.51 respectively for atmospheric pressure in March, April, August and December. Findings from this study contribute to improving the understanding of environmental influences on TV signal transmission, aiding in the optimization of broadcasting technologies for enhanced reliability and quality in varying weather conditions. Future research may explore additional factors such as humidity and wind speed to further refine predictive models and optimize broadcasting infrastructure.
