Index. "Collins...helps systems engineers, designers, and managers in TV broadcasting make a smooth transition from analog to digital technologies." (SciTech Book News Vol. 25, No. 2 June 2001) GERALD W. COLLINS has over 37 years of experience in the electronics industry. Over the past decade, he has been intimately involved with R&D for digital television products through his position of Director of Product Development at Harris Broadcast Division. He has written numerous papers and is a well-known consultant and speaker on antennas, RF propagation, transmitter design, and digital television. 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
