  • Abstract
    A multiplex system is described in which sequential segments of two video signals are time compressed and interleaved in analog form for transmission over a satellite transponder. Channel information rate and S/N are considered. The Time Compression Multiplex approach is extended to data plus video and two way video cases. A signal enhancement system for S/N improvement is proposed.
