  • Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation
    This page intentionally left blank Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation If you need to maximise efficiency in wireless network planning an understanding of radio propagation issues is vital, and this quick reference guide is for you. Using real-world case studies, practical problems and minimum mathematics, the author explains simply and clearly how to predict signal strengths in a variety of situations. Fundamentals are explained in the context of their practical significance. Applications, including point-to-point radio links, broadcasting and earth–space communications, are thoroughly treated, and more sophisticated methods, which form the basis of software tools both for network planning and for spectrum management, are also described. For a rapid understanding of and insight into radio propagation, sufficient to enable you to undertake real-world engineering tasks, this concise book is an invaluable resource for network planners, hardware designers, spectrum managers, senior technical managers and policy makers who are either new to radio propagation or need a quick reference guide. christopher haslett is the Principal Propagation Adviser at Ofcom, the UK Communication Industries Regulator. As well as experience conducting and directing research projects, he has many years’ industrial radio-planning experience with Cable and Wireless plc., and as Director of Planning and Optimisation at Aircom International Ltd., where he directed the optimisa- tion of UMTS networks.

  • Public Media – Pubic Broadcasting System (PBS)
    SUPPORTING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA ACTION NEEDED We urge Congress to: Restore public broadcasting funding to the FY 2013 appropriation level of $445 million through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Pass the Community Access Preservation Act (CAP Act) to preserve public, educational, and governmental (PEG) non-commercial cable channels for local communities. OVERVIEW—PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA Public media consists of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR), and more than 1,000 local public broadcasting stations. Community media is comprised of public, educational, and government (PEG) cable access TV and community radio stations. Both public and community media have a long history of presenting local, regional, and national nonprofit arts programming, a great majority of which is not available on commercial channels. These organizations play a unique role in bringing both classics and contemporary works to the American public. All of these systems exist because of federal funding or legislation. TALKING POINTS— CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING In creating America’s unique public broadcasting system, Congress acknowledged public broadcasting’s role in transmitting arts and culture: “It is in the public interest to encourage the growth and development of public radio and television broadcasting, including the use of such media for instructional, educational, and cultural purposes.” And Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is the vehicle through which Congress has chosen to promote noncommercial public telecommunications. CPB does not produce or broadcast programs. The vast majority of funding through CPB goes directly to local public broadcast stations in the form of Community Service Grants. The federal portion of the average public station’s revenue is approximately 10–15 percent.

The information and specifications contained in this document is subject to change at any time without notice. Copyright 2008 Broadcast Warehouse www.bwbroadcast.com WARNING This transmitter should never be operated without a suitable antenna or test dum- my load! Failure to observe this requirement may result in damage to the transmit- ter that is not covered by the warranty. IMPORTANT This transmitter has been shipped with the internal stereo generator enabled. The internal jumper J1 (MPX loop-through) is set to ON. If you intend to connect a MPX signal to the MPX input BNC connector you will need to move J1 (MPX loop-through) to the OFF position. Examples of configurations requiring setting J1 to OFF include: ● Routing the internal MPX signal through an external RDS encoder. ● Connecting an external audio processor or stereo generator to the transmitter. ● Connecting a re-broadcast or STL receiver to the transmitter.

  • Free Tv Australia Operational Practice Op–71
    FREE TV AUSTRALIA OPERATIONAL PRACTICE OP–71 Recommended Settings of DVB-T Transmitter/Modulator’s Operating Parameters and Transport Stream SI for Use in Temporary Events or in TV distribution Systems Issue 1 December 2014 Page 1 of 14 1 SCOPE This Operational Practice provides advice and recommendations for the setting-up of commercial grade DVB-T transmitter/modulators for use in MATV distribution systems, or where permitted, a DVB-T terrestrial broadcast transmitter to be temporarily operated at low power at special events. Such units may include multiple program inputs, Standard and/or High Definition video MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 (H.264) encoding. The unit should also include a capacity to generate System Information signalling, multiplex (MUX) the various streams together and have a COFDM DVB-T modulator with an RF output. A simplified overview of the processes is included to give some understanding of the choices for setting modulation parameters and MPEG Transport Stream System Information so that an additional temporary transmission might operate compatibly in the presence of Australian free-to-air television signals and minimise RF interference or Service Information collisions with existing services. The digital formats and DVB-T transmission offers many operating choices. While such setup information is distributed in many standards documents, this Operational Practice aims to provide reasons for and best choice recommendations for use in Australian setups. At the rear of this document the reader will find the following summaries: Annex A – Summary of Recommended Settings. Annex B – Resulting bit-rate capacity for various modulator settings, Annex C – lists Australian RF Channel frequencies.

  • Models and Solution Techniques for Frequency Assignment Problems
    Ann Oper Res (2007) 153: 79–129 DOI 10.1007/s10479-007-0178-0 Models and solution techniques for frequency assignment problems Karen I. Aardal · Stan P.M. van Hoesel · Arie M.C.A. Koster · Carlo Mannino · Antonio Sassano Published online: 12 May 2007 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract Wireless communication is used in many different situations such as mobile tele- phony, radio and TV broadcasting, satellite communication, wireless LANs, and military operations. In each of these situations a frequency assignment problem arises with applica- tion specific characteristics. Researchers have developed different modeling ideas for each of the features of the problem, such as the handling of interference among radio signals, the availability of frequencies, and the optimization criterion. This survey gives an overview of the models and methods that the literature provides on the topic. We present a broad description of the practical settings in which frequency assign- ment is applied. We also present a classification of the different models and formulations described in the literature, such that the common features of the models are emphasized. The solution methods are divided in two parts. Optimization and lower bounding techniques on the one hand, and heuristic search techniques on the other hand. The literature is classi- fied according to the used methods. Again, we emphasize the common features, used in the different papers. The quality of the solution methods is compared, whenever possible, on publicly available benchmark instances. This is an updated version of a paper that appeared in 4OR 1, 261–317, 2003. K.I.

  • Evaluation of a Channel Assignment Scheme in Mobile Network Systems

In this paper, we propose a new scheme, which is based on 1HX, UK double band frequency and channel borrowing strategy. The proposed scheme takes Full list of author information is available at the end of the into account factors such as limited bandwidth of wireless networks and the capacity article of underlying servers involved in processing mobile calls. It aims to ensure end-to-end performance by considering the characteristics of mobile devices. This is achieved by determining the position of users (or mobile stations) in wireless mobile systems. The proposed scheme is simulated in order to investigate its efficiency within a specific area of a large city in Saudi Arabia. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly improves the performance of mobile calls as well as reduces the blocking when the number of mobile call increases.
