  • The Transition to Digital Television*
    DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

  • MPX Stereo and SCA FM Tuner
    FM – TUNER Stereo MPX decoder SCA demodulator Prof. Yosef PINHASI The tuner is aimed at receiving commercial FM radio stations broadcasting at the VHF band 88-108MHz. It enables detection of the frequency modulated signals including decoding of stereophonic transmissions and also Subsidiary Communications Authorization (SCA) signals. The RF stage shown in Figure 1, consists of a broad-band low-noise amplifier (LNA), based on the MPSH10 high frequency bipolar transistor, and followed by the balanced mixer NE602 (or today – SA602). The fundamental parameters of the front-end transistor MPSH10 of the LNA are β = 60 , fT = 650 MHz ,VBE = 6.0 V at collector current of IC = 1mA . The bias circuit are the resistors RC = 300 Ω and RE =10 Ω at the collector and emitter respectively and the feedback resistor RF = 47 KΩ between the collector and base. The emitter current is found from the formula: V −V I = CC BE = 10.56mA E R F + R + R 1+ β C E The collector current is thus IC = β ⋅ I E /(1+ β ) =10.38mA and its voltage is VC = Rc ⋅ Ic = 8.835V . The small-signal parameters of the hybrid-∏ model at the quiescent point are: IC gm = = 415 mS VT β rπ = = 145 Ω gm gm Cπ ≅ = 102 pF 2π ⋅ fT Substituting these parameters in the expression for the small-signal voltage gain results in: V g 1 R R A = out = − m − ⋅ F C = -12 V V R R + R in 1 F 142F 43C 1+ gm + ⋅ RE R || R Zπ F C The input impedance is calculating using: −1 Vin 1 1− AV RF Zin = = + = []Zπ + ()1+ gmZπ ⋅ RE || Iin Zπ + ()1+ gmZπ ⋅ RE RF 1− AV 470 560 + 100K .1 µ 6V Tuning 100 µ 1n 1n 1K 220K 560 µ 100K 10p 24V CV L3 100K 10p 47 µ .1 µ .1 µ .47 µ 22K NE602 +12V 300 30p 30p 10.7MHz 47K MPSH10 100p Antenna 10 .1 µ Figure 1: The RF front-end and mixer of the tuner.

  • Reception Performance Improvement of AM/FM Tuner by Digital Signal Processing Technology
    Reception performance improvement of AM/FM tuner by digital signal processing technology Akira Hatakeyama Osamu Keishima Kiyotaka Nakagawa Yoshiaki Inoue Takehiro Sakai Hirokazu Matsunaga Abstract With developments in digital technology, CDs, MDs, DVDs, HDDs and digital media have become the mainstream of car AV products. In terms of broadcasting media, various types of digital broadcasting have begun in countries all over the world. Thus, there is a demand for smaller and thinner products, in order to enhance radio performance and to achieve consolidation with the above-mentioned digital media in limited space. Due to these circumstances, we are attaining such performance enhancement through digital signal processing for AM/FM IF and beyond, and both tuner miniaturization and lighter products have been realized. The digital signal processing tuner which we will introduce was developed with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. for the 2005 line model. In this paper, we explain regarding the function outline, characteristics, and main tech- nology involved. 22 Reception performance improvement of AM/FM tuner by digital signal processing technology Introduction1.

  • FAQ - Cable TV
    FAQ - Cable TV Common questions about cable/satellite TV service on campus. All-digital television is provided to each residence hall room by the University. We receive a customized HD channel line up including entertainment, sports, news, local broadcast, and educational content. Service is broadcast throughout campus and provided free to campus residents as a convenience of occupancy. All that is necessary to receive the service is a cable-ready television set and a coaxial cable to connect the television to the cable outlet to in the wall. Campus departments may also take advantage of this service. The only cost to the department is the cost of running the coax cable to the desired location. Departments wanting service in new locations should submit an ITicket through the Help Desk. In order to take full advantage in residence halls, students should bring a digital TV with an integrated QAM tuner for use on campus. An integrated QAM tuner enables a digital TV to directly receive digital cable channels without a set top box. If you are unsure whether your TV has an integrated QAM tuner, please check the manufacturer’s or owner’s manual that came with your TV. Some less expensive TVs sometimes come with a lower quality QAM tuner that may be unable to pick up all the digital channels. Users with less expensive brands such as Dynex and Insignia reported these types of problems. If you still have an analog TV (tube TV) or digital television that does not includes an integrated QAM tuner you can continue to use it by purchasing a converter box.

  • Experience DTV Using LCD TV
    Experiencing DTV on the LCD TV What is DTV? DTV stands for Digital Television, the latest standard and the future of television broadcasting. Unlike analog TV, DTV is broadcast digitally to transmit an audio and video signal for movie-like picture quality and surround sound. HDTV, your ticket to movie theater experiences on your home TV set, is a Digital TV (DTV) format. There are many benefits to DTV, as we will explain below. In addition, on February 1st, 2006, Congress passed a law mandating that all analog TV broadcasts must cease on February 17, 2009. At present, many television stations have begun broadcasting programs digitally. Benefits of Digital Television Improved image and sound quality Digital signals are not prone to interference during transmission, resulting in high fidelity signals all the way to the TV set for immaculate colors, incredible image sharpness and great sound. With DTV we can say goodbye to “ghosting” and “snow” on the TV screen and noise from the speakers. In addition, DTV supports high quality picture formats such as HDTV, meaning you will be able to enjoy movie-like programming right in the comfort of your own living room! Interactive programming With analog TV, we could do very little else with our TV programs other than change the channel. DTV provides us with an interactive viewing experience, a good example of which is the ability to order whichever program we please directly through the TV. That was impossible in the analog TV age. DTV Picture Quality Levels There is more than one DTV picture quality level or format.

  • Television Compatibility
    Television Compatibility The CWRU digital cable system requires a television, DVR or other tuner device with a QAM tuner. You must check the specifications from your manufacturer to determine if it includes the required tuner. The types of tuners currently in use in the United States are listed here for your reference. NTSC TUNER (NOT COMPATIBLE) NTSC, named for the National Television System Committee, is the analog television system used in the United States from 1941 to 2009. After nearly 70 years of use, the FCC ordered the discontinuation of most over-the-air NTSC transmissions in the United States in 2009. Analog channels are still available on many cable systems to provide basic programming without the use of a cable conversion box. Some manufacturers no longer include this type of tuner in televisions built after 2009. ATSC TUNER (NOT COMPATIBLE) An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner, often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner is a type of television tuner that allows reception of digital television (DTV) television channels transmitted by television stations in North America. The FCC required all television manufacturers to include an ATSC tuner in all products since 2007, and required television broadcasters to switch in 2009. This type of tuner is currently included in all new televisions, including the inexpensive "digital conversion boxes" that were widely available leading up to the 2009 switchover. QAM TUNER (REQUIRED) QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) is the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable television providers, including CWRU. A QAM tuner is the cable equivalent of an ATSC tuner which receives over-the-air digital channels broadcast by local television stations.
