Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 5

Abstract

Abstract: The lightning strike and thunder and its effect on television signal transmission in Nigerian Television, NTA Abakaliki Nigeria was analyzed. From the analyses, it was observed that lightning and thunder strike affects television transmissions. This is paramount at the beginning and end of the raining seasons of every year. The result showed that the lightning strike and thunder effect causes image fading lost of signal, breaking of images and sometimes causes the station to be out of broadcast. National Communication Commission, NCC should ensure that all television stations in Nigeria be digitalized and powerful/modernlightning arrester and surge protection devi ce be installed to avert the effects of lightning strike and thunder on their stations to keep transmitter “ON” during transmission.
