An Innovative Graphical Viewer Analysis Applied in a Multipoint Transmission System
Abstract
Transmission systems are the basis of the communication systems process. This paper on the operationalization of its stages is little or rarely updated. Currently, interests are focused on global discussions on topics such as 5G networks, different types of modulation, data transfer rates, and the possibility of services focused mainly on offering quality to the end user. As technology changes, operating companies invest hundreds of millions in infrastructure and equipment, but almost always, the entire operating system from previous generations remains operative for years and does not receive proper attention, development of technologies, or improvements in the control of its operational efficiency, mainly from the point of view of automation technology upgrades. Therefore, it is important to reassess and optimize this infrastructure and its modus operandi in order to guarantee an extension of the useful life and to provide an economy to the operators. The main aim of the paper is to discuss the main aspects of a multipoint transmission system through a graphic technique called leveling diagram. It was applied based on a real scenario, in the city of Curitiba, a metropolis with more than two million inhabitants located in the Southern region of Brazil. The combination of this graphical technique and numerical analysis resulted in new modeling. Therefore, the main contribution of this paper is to provide a new alternative of visual analysis for transmission systems.
