Sum two different coverage models

Is there a way to sum two different coverage outputs? I have two different transmitters and have plotted the output of each on the same coverage map. I notice that it appears to do the equivalent of a ‘max hold’ where the field patterns from the separate transmitters overlap. Is there a way to sum the field patterns from the separate transmitters? I realise that this would effectively assume zero phase diference at all points of interaction, but that suits what I am aiming to do.
So far I have tried converting the output of the coverage .Data to an array. This provides the lat, long, and dB output for each transmitter. What I can’t work out is how to sum these arrays when the lat and long values are different (as the transmitters are in different locations). In an ideal world, I would then convert the summed arrays back into a coverage map of the result.
Any help much appreciated.

cov1 = coverage(tx1, ‘close-in’, ‘SignalStrengths’, e_min:e_step:e_max, ‘ColorLimits’, [e_min e_max]);

% convert to arrays for summing?
tx_array1 = table2array(cov1.Data);
tx_array2 = table2array(cov2.Data);
