Dynamic power control for sustainable broadcast transmitter networks

Tech Papers 2026: This paper proposes an approach that uses predictive modelling in combination with real-time interference monitoring to optimise transmitter powers dynamically, with minimal impact on the consumer.

Abstract 

The energy consumption and sustainability of terrestrial broadcasting is of increasing concern. In particular, the BBC’s national frequency modulation (FM) transmission network consumes a significant proportion of the total energy used for the broadcast services. Traditional network planning includes safety margins to allow for variations in reception conditions. Since modern transmitters allow seamless...
