This paper describes the preliminary test results of\nthe transmission and reception of Digital TV signals, on Channel\n41, in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, in the state of Paran�¡,\nBrazil. It describes the equipment configuration deployed to\ncarry out the tests, with the objective of mapping signal levels in\nthe field and carrying out objective (channel power received,\nC/N, MER) and subjective measures (signal quality and\nobservation of artifacts) in 200 selected locations in the\nmetropolitan region of Curitiba. A propagation model is\ndiscussed (based on the Log-distance and Okumura-Hata\nmodels), as a function of the received channel power values\nmeasured in some selected locations. The results should allow the\ncalculation of the coverage area, and the identification of the\nshadowed areas and critical reception points.
