Terrestrial Digital Television Broadcasting Signal Transmission Using Free-Space Optical Links

摘要

We present experimental investigation on transmission of terrestrial digital broadcasting signals using free-space optical (FSO) links. The work provides insight on the system design, operation and performance characteristics relevant in implementing economical links for terrestrial digital broadcasting signals transmission especially in areas lacking fiber infrastructure. We investigate on service area coverage with respect to the quality of terrestrial digital TV signal and requirement for service provisioning.
