Features: "Satellite Digital Television Transmission and Microwave Technology" is one of the "Practical Teaching Materials for Broadcast and Film/Television Engineering Technicians," primarily used for training and reference by broadcast and television system engineering technicians in China. It can also serve as a professional guidebook for university undergraduates and college students, as well as distance education students in related fields. The content of the book is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Basic Theory (3 chapters)
This part systematically introduces the fundamental knowledge of digital satellite transmission, with a focus on analyzing the source coding and channel coding methods of DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite, a European digital broadcasting standard). It also elaborates on both subjective and objective methods for evaluating and measuring the digital image quality of DVB-S systems.
Part 2: Practical Technology (6 chapters)
Due to the strong practical nature of satellite digital television transmission and microwave technology, this section occupies a significant portion of the book. It provides detailed discussions on satellite antennas and LNBs (Low-Noise Block downconverters), digital satellite receivers, link budget calculations for satellite communication system transmission parameters, satellite uplink stations, and digital microwave communication systems. From a practical perspective, it also explains the selection of receiving sites, equipment choices, installation, and debugging of satellite receiving systems.
Part 3: Performance Measurement (3 chapters)
This part primarily introduces the measurement of satellite system performance, the joint testing of earth station systems, and the maintenance and testing of digital microwave equipment.
The authors of this book are experts and professional engineers working at the forefront of the broadcast and film/television industry. They are firsthand witnesses and practitioners of the digital transformation. During the writing process, the book closely adheres to digital technology, emphasizing theory while highlighting practical value. It also addresses common challenges in use and focuses on emerging trends in future development.
