Distributed Transmission Systems utilize multiple transmitters to service a coverage area where terrain shielding makes it harder to transmit a signal using a single tall tower. The transmission system is fed through studio-to-transmitter links which carry identical signals to a number of slave transmitters. The slave transmitters all transmit identical synchronized signals on the same RF channel.
Distributed Transmission can also be applied to translator systems by creating a "distributed translator network." Slave transmitters are fed through receive antennas that get the program and synchronized information
from the main transmitter site.
