DTV Transmitter Installation Experience and Planning
The advent of ATSC digital television (DTV) in the U.S. has created the need to install an entirely new terrestrial transmission infrastructure nationwide. A principal piece of equipment in any television transmission plant is the high-power television transmitter. This paper considers the various challenges to the successful installation of high-power DTV television transmitters and identifies the performance parameters that play an important role in transmitter adjustment and operation. Data excerpted from a recent DTV transmitter are also included to provide an indication of performance levels to be expected.
