VERIFYING RF SIGNAL COVERAGE MEASUREMENTS OF NTSC AND 8VSB
In today's world, with a proliferation of program transmission paths to the
viewer's home, it is easy to lose track of how well each path is technically
performing.  Engineers must not only maintain their NTSC transmission path,
but now have the added responsibility of maintaining new 8VSB DTV
facilities.
RF coverage measurements are more important than ever. Changes in
transmission systems involve a coverage risk, and the ultimate coverage
provided by new facilities must be quantified as DTV becomes the primary
over-the-air path.
                Jim Zook, President of Z Technology, Inc., Beaverton,
Oregon, will discuss techniques and    
            experiences  with  automatic RF measurements.  New 8VSB DTV
measurement systems can     
            quickly determine tha the correct transmission system was
designed, installed, and maintained to 
            cover an area of interest.
