    BA(prog)III yr 11/04/2020 Analog Video • In an analog system, the output of the charge-coupled device (CCD) is processed by the camera into three channels of color information and synchronization pulses (sync) and the signals are recorded onto magnetic tape. • There are several video standards for managing analog CCD output, each dealing with the amount of separation between the components—the more separation of the color information, the higher the quality of the image (and the more expensive the equipment). • If each channel of color information is transmitted as aseparate signal on its own conductor, the signal output is called component (separate red, green, and blue channels), which is the preferred method for higher-quality and professional video work. • Lower in quality is the signal that makes up Separate Video (S-Video), using two channels that carry luminance and chrominance information. The least separation (and thus the lowest quality for a video signal) is composite, when all the signalsare mixed together and carried on a single cable as a composite of the three color channels and the sync signal. • The composite signal yields less-precise color definition, which cannot be manipulated or color-corrected as much as S-Video or component signals. • The analog video and audio signals are written to tape by a spinning recording head that changes the local magnetic properties of the tape’s surface in a series of long diagonal stripes. • Because the head is canted or tilted at a slight angle compared with the path of the tape, it follows a helical (spiral) path, which is called helical scan recording.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 4, Current Status, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Needs Pertaining to Firefighter Radio Communication Systems
    NIOSH Firefighter Radio Communications CHAPTER IV: STRUCTURE COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES Buildings and other structures pose difficult problems for wireless (radio) communications. Whether communication is via hand-held radio or personal cellular phone, communications to, from, and within structures can degrade depending on a variety of factors. These factors include multipath effects, reflection from coated exterior glass, non-line-of-sight path loss, and signal absorption in the building construction materials, among others. The communications problems may be compounded by lack of a repeater to amplify and retransmit the signal or by poor placement of the repeater. RF propagation in structures can be so poor that there may be areas where the signal is virtually nonexistent, rendering radio communication impossible. Those who design and select firefighter communications systems cannot dictate what building materials or methods are used in structures, but they can conduct research and select the radio system designs and deployments that provide significantly improved radio communications in this extremely difficult environment.4 Communication Problems Inherent in Structures MULTIPATH Multipath fading and noise is a major cause of poor radio performance. Multipath is a phenomenon that results from the fact that a transmitted signal does not arrive at the receiver solely from a single straight line-of-sight path. Because there are obstacles in the path of a transmitted radio signal, the signal may be reflected multiple times and in multiple paths, and arrive at the receiver from various directions along various paths, with various signal strengths per path. In fact, a radio signal received by a firefighter within a building is rarely a signal that traveled directly by line of sight from the transmitter.

    In the beginning … water covered the Earth. Out of the water emerged an island, a single giant mass of land; an ancient supercontinent called Pangaea. Over billions of years, tectonic forces broke Pangaea apart, dividing the supercontinent into ever distant land masses: Africa, Eurasia, Australasia, North and South America. As the land masses drifted farther apart, so too did the people who inhabited them.
