This essential text for any technician in broadcasting deals with all the most important digital television, sound radio and multimedia standards. The book provides an in-depth look at these subjects in terms of practical experience. In addition it contains chapters on the basics of technologies such as analog television, digital modulation, COFDM or mathematical transformations between time and frequency domains. The attention in each respective field under discussion is focused on aspects of measuring techniques and of measuring practice, in each case consolidating the knowledge imparted with numerous practical examples. Since the entire field of electrical communications technology is traversed in a wide arc, those who are students in this field are not excluded either.
This book was created to provide the man in the field, be he a transmitter network planner, a service technician at a transmitter site, a technician responsible for MPEG-2 encoders and multiplexers in a studio or a playout center, an engineer working in a development laboratory or even a student, with an insight into the technology and measuring techniques of digital television. It concentrates deliberately on the practical things of importance and attempts to include as little mathematical "ballast" as possible.
