February Section Meeting:
On February 10th, Turner and Rhode and Schwarz hosted the Section meeting. =
The program topic was "Multipath in 8VSB." Eddy Venderkerke of Rhode and =
Schwarz began with an overview of the causes of signal fade including the =
causes of multi-path. He described the four types of multipath - Rayleigh =
Path, Ricean, Log Normal and Doppler shift and the differences between =
them. He also described the types of hardware that are used by receiver =

thank Dave Siegler, Rick Ackermans and the Turner organization for their =
