Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting Systems



The success story of radio and television was originally based on terrestrial transmission. At a suitable location a transmitter was erected that would broadcast radio and TV signals using corresponding equipment and antennas. The listener or viewer was expected to make a certain reception effort. In the case of television, he or she was to erect an antenna on top of the roof of the house with a sufficiently high directivity. Most of the stationary receivers were fed by correspondingly adopted antenna systems.
