What today's TV engineers need to know about working with
digital systems This book helps systems engineers, designers, and managers in TV
broadcasting make a smooth transition from analog to digital technologies. With an emphasis
on RF transmission rather than baseband signal processing, it offers in a single resource a complete
discussion of the digital TV signal, from the input to the transmitter to the output of the receiving antenna.
Industry expert Gerald Collins provides clear, up-to-date explanations that build upon experience engineers already
have with analog technology, including comparisons between analog and digital systems, factors affecting the
performance of VHF and UHF stations, and down-to-earth discussions of modern high-power RF filters. Plus, he
provides over 150 high-quality illustrations and tables as well as extensive references for readers wishing to
pursue the subject more in depth. The discussion includes:
- Major digital TV transmission standards
- Key performance parameters of interest to RF engineers
- The theory of operation and practical implementation of major system components
- Factors affecting propagation of digital TV signals
- Results of field testing of DTV systems
- Performance data on the American ATSC, the European DVB, and the Japanese ISDB-T systems
