Analisis Coverage Dan Kualitas Sinyal TV Digital Menggunakan K-Means Clustering Di Jawa Tengah-1

Terrestrial digital television transmitter stations are the main facilities in the transmission of digital television broadcasts to the public. The quality of the transmitted signal is expected to reach the Central Java-1 service area well so as to provide optimal and reliable quality of digital television broadcast performance according to the needs of the community, but currently, complaints about signal problems such as service coverage and reception quality still occur a lot, coverage and signal quality received by community-owned television transmitters cannot be separated from the influence of the quality performance of digital television transmission stations. The purpose of this research is to analyse the coverage performance of digital television services of digital television transmitter stations using the K-Means Clustering Method, identify areas with the best signal coverage and group areas based on the level of signal performance. The data used includes field strength parameters collected through field measurements at 25 service area location points, topography factors and transmitter distance were found to be the main causes of signal quality differences. Data analysis shows that the K-Means Clustering method effectively clusters areas with signal reception quality categories of very good cluster 3 areas, good cluster 8 areas, fair cluster 5 areas and poor cluster 9 areas. The results of this study can be recommended in the evaluation and optimisation of tele-transmitting station networks.
