Text of Note

In its second edition, this primer on the theory of digital transmission provides an introduction to new digital technology and standards for broadcast engineers. Focusing on digital broadcast systems that are likely to become recognized as world standards, Blair, a broadcast engineer and researcher, addresses the conversion of existing systems to digital, and offers practical solutions to how digital and analog systems can coexist during the transition phase. The new edition adds material on cyclic block codes, trellis coding, propagation variability, emerging standards for sound broadcast, measurement and testing of digital systems, and pulse distortion.
