This paper analyzes a methodology to evaluate the efficiency of different network configurations and associated planning parameters for delivering DVB-T2 services to fixed and portable receivers, based on theoretical SFN networks. The impact of some of the parameters and calculation algorithms on the final coverage percentage values for different SFN network architectures has been studied from simulations. The results have shown that the synchronization strategy and the signal combination method have a relevant impact on the final coverage percents within the service area both for portable and fixed reception.
