This comprehensive engineering handbook provides basic principles, key equations, and voluminous reference data on the design, specification, installation, and maintenance of broadcast transmission systems. Explicating the underlying technologies of digital and analog transmission systems, the handbook deals with both the fundamental workings of such systems, and, in context, the ‘hot-topic’ new approaches driving industry growth – DTV, NTSC, and Digital Audio Broadcasting.
