Approaches to Planning and Deploying MRC's Innovative Dual (Analog and Digital) Carrier Microwave System

Microwave Radio Communications' (MRC) TwinStream radio is the first dual carrier radio for transmission of uncompressed legacy NTSC plus ATSC signals in a single 25-MHz radio frequency (RF) channel. Featuring a proprietary, patent-pending approach to microwave system design, the TwinStream radio is ideal for studio-to-transmitter links (STLs), transmitter-to-studio links (TSLs), and satellite backhaul requirements. MRC has worked closely with major network broadcast groups to provide the TwinStream radio for the November 1998 digital television (DTV) sign-on requirements. MRC's support of these demanding new applications is the latest in its long history of providing market innovations for television broadcasting. The TwinStream radio also is ideal for digital and analog programming feeds to cable headends and digital and analog newsgathering backhauls.
