Hiroyuki Tanaka, Fumiyasu Suginoshita, Hisao Nakakita, Kenji Terada

To transmit program materials from an outside location to a broadcasting station, FPU(Field Pick-up Unit), a ground radio equipment, is widely employed in conventional broadcasting systems. — Although, an FPU for the HDTV in Japan is allowed to use the 42GHz band on an experimental basis. NHK has been pushing for the development of an FPU in this radio frequency that can transmit HDTV signals without quality deterioration. — At this time, we have developed a new FPU for HDTV. This paper describes this new relay transmission system, and indicates the result of a field test to verify the system's performance.
