The proposed 10dB increase to digital sideband power levels for stations
broadcasting with HD Radio(tm) technology in the FM band will have
significant impact on equipment and infrastructure requirements. Even if
the sideband power were to increase by a lesser amount, the effect will
be much more serious than many have realized. This session discusses the
increase and the associated changes that may be required with various
methods of injecting the HD Radio signal onto the analog. In addition,
it discusses technology that has been implemented, or is being
developed, to assist stations in achieving the highest possible signal
level increase with the least possible impact. |

This is a chance for Wisconsin Broadcast Engineers and Wisconsin MSO
representatives to exchange information and relevant details so that no
subscriber is left behind on February 17th, 2009. Broadcasters should
come ready with contact and technical information of all the TV stations
in the State and be prepared to answer questions related to their
digital transmission facilities. Wisconsin MSO operators will provide
their signal pickup points in the State, which TV stations are received
at each point, and which municipalities are served from each pickup
point. Following formal presentations each MSO will setup in an area
where each broadcaster can visit and exchange specific information. |
