Fundamentals of Digital Television Transmission (Hardcover)

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
