HDTV – What this Means for Microwave STL and ENG Applications

Edward J. Giovannini

The paper will deal with: — The different configurations which are available to the broadcaster for transmitting their HDTV and analog signals through an STL. — Should the Broadcaster combine the existing analog signal with the new HDTV signal over a single microwave path or use separate links for each signal. — Using Digital modulation to transmit Broadcast Quality Video and Audio, why is this considerably different from Analog Video and Audio transmissions. — Redundancy vs. Non-Redundancy for HDTV STL. — Why Forward Error Correction and Dynamic Adaptive Equalisation is vital to the HDTV STL and ENG Microwave transmissions. — Benefits and Pitfalls of the different Digital Modulations.
