%0 Journal Article %T A new method for spectrum monitoring networks design %D 2013 %@ 15223965 %U http://repository.icesi.edu.co/biblioteca_digital/handle/10906/82831 %X In the ITU Spectrum Monitoring handbook, edition 2011, a model for design of radio monitoring systems is suggested. This model is based on the work of Pavliuk et al. In this paper we propose a modified version on the Pavliuk model, using methods from the mobile networks world, like semi-deterministic propagation models and population information. We apply the method for the design of the monitoring network in Costa Rica. © 2013 IEEE. %K Redes móviles %K Sistemas de monitoreo %K Monitoreo de redes %K Automatización y sistemas de control %K Automation command and control system %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
