System for Optimizing a Single Frequency Network Broadcast

An automated system for optimizing a single frequency network broadcast, comprising:

• a plurality of single frequency network transmitters that simultaneously broadcast a same time-synchronized signal over a same frequency to a coverage area;
• a plurality of remote monitoring stations distributed at multiple locations in the coverage area, each station having a network analyzer and a remote communication interface, the network analyzer being configured to conduct time and amplitude transmitter measurements from any of the network transmitters, and each remote communication interface being configured to transmit the transmitter measurements;
• and
• a network server having a network communication interface configured to request and receive the transmitter measurements from the remote monitoring stations, the network server being configured to identify, based on the transmitter measurements, at least one of the plurality of network transmitters as at least one interfering transmitter that is a source of time-delay signal reception for at least one of the remote monitoring stations.
