Abstract :
The authors describe a video broadcasting trial carried out at frequencies in the 12-GHZ band by GEC Plessey Telecommunications in collaboration with Marconi Defence Systems Ltd. over a 10-week trial period from December 1988 to February 1989. Details of equipment configurations and trial parameters are presented, together with an analysis of the measured data and the conclusions drawn. A broadcast model developed by the GEC-Marconi Research Centre was used to predict the coverage area. The trial clearly indicated that frequencies around 12 GHz are eminently suitable for TV broadcasting from terrestrial transmitters using frequency modulation
