7 Glossary

HDTV (High-Deﬁnition Television)

It is a digital television broadcasting system

with higher resolution than traditional

television systems (standard-deﬁnition TV,

or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast;

the earliest implementations used analog

broadcasting, but today digital television

(DTV) signals are used, requiring less

bandwidth due to digital video compression.

Antenna

A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up

a received radio frequency signal or radiates a

transmitted RF signal.

ATSC (Advanced Television Systems

Committee)

The Advanced Television Systems Committee,

Inc., is an international, non-proﬁt organization

developing voluntary standards for digital

television. The high deﬁnition television

standards deﬁned by the ATSC produce wide

screen 16:9 images up to 1920x1080 pixels

in size -- more than six times the display

resolution of the earlier standard. However,

many different image sizes are also supported,

so that up to six standard-deﬁnition “virtual

channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz

TV channel.

UHF (Ultra high frequency)

In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency

range of electromagnetic waves which lies

between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).

VHF (Very high frequency)

In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency

range of electromagnetic waves which lies

between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.

Coaxial

A single copper conductor, surrounded with

a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding

copper shield and ﬁnally, an insulating jacket.

An unbalanced transmission line with constant

impedance. In audio, this type is commonly

used for low level, line signals terminated in

RCA connectors.
