High-Definition Video Coax beyond 3 GHz

Coaxial cable has been in use since 1929. Originally envisioned as high-frequency cable for telephone applications, it has filled many uses since then, including analog and digital video applications. Coaxial cable is now being designed for use with high-definition video transmission. These high-frequency high-definition applications are approaching the self-imposed bandwidth limit of 3 GHz. This paper will look at many existing and proposed signal formats with emphasis on the uncompressed bandwidth of these signals. The question is how high do we want to go? And how far can we go on a coaxial cable in these formats?
