Abstract :
On November 8, 1997, Canada formally adopted the ATSC Digital Television Standard for terrestrial transmission as defined in document A/53 of the Advanced Television Systems Committee of the USA and as modified by the FCC document MM Docket No. 87-268. This paper discusses the Canadian digital terrestrial television system technical parameters for implementation and frequency planning: interference protection ratios, reference system parameters, and radio frequency emission masks, as well as their design methodology. First, the Canadian terrestrial DTV design guidelines are presented, followed by the introduction of DTV reference receiving system set up and the parameter selection of the interference protection ratios. Last, the design methodology of the emission masks is discussed
