Digital Television

Digital Television closely examines all present-day TV transmission
methods. These include MPEG, DVB, ATSC and ISDB-T.
DVD is also discussed. The text covers these
subjects in a practical-minded manner. Although mathematical formulations
are used, they are in most cases only
utilized to supplement the text. The book also
contains chapters dealing with basic concepts such as
digital modulation or transformations into the frequency domain.
A major emphasis is placed on the measuring
techniques used on these various digital TV signals.
Examples & hints concerning measurement are provided. The
book starts with analog TV base & signal,
continues with MPEG-2 data stream, digital video, and
digital audio, and then moves on to compression
methods. After an excursion into the digital modulation
methods, all the mentioned transmission methods are discussed
in detail.Written for: Engineers in broadcasting and device
