  2. Water filling algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_filling_algorithm

    Water filling algorithm is a general name given to the ideas in communication systems design and practice for equalization strategies on communications channels.As the name suggests, just as water finds its level even when filled in one part of a vessel with multiple openings, as a consequence of Pascal's law, the amplifier systems in communications network repeaters, or receivers amplify each ...

  3. Water potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_potential

    Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis , gravity , mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action (which is caused by surface tension ).

  4. Widescreen signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen_signaling

    525 line analog systems (like NTSC or PAL-M) made a provision for the use of pulses for signaling widescreen and other parameters, introduced with the development of Clear-Vision (EDTV-II), a NTSC-compatible Japanese system allowing widescreen broadcasts.

  5. Television interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_interference

    It is possible to also get a bad picture if the signal strength of the TV transmitter is too high. An attenuator inserted in the antenna lead-in wire may be used if the television receiver displays signs of overload in the RF front end. Strong out-of-band signals may also affect television reception and may require band-pass filters to reduce ...

  6. VIT signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIT_signals

    In television broadcasting, VIT signals (vertical interval test signals) are a group of test signals inserted in the composite video signal. These signals are used to weight [1] the transmission characteristics of the system between the test generator and the output of the demodulator, where the system includes the microwave links, or TVROs as well as the TV transmitters and the transposers.

  7. SINPO code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SINPO_code

    33433 – This indicates a signal which is moderately strong, but has more interference, and therefore deterioration of the received signal. Generally, a SINPO with a code number starting with a 2 or lower would not be worth reporting, unless there is no noise, interference or loss of propagation, since it would be likely the signal would be ...

  8. Active Format Description - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Format_Description

    A widescreen 16:9 signal may be broadcast with AFD 8 or AFD 10, indicating that the entire frame includes important picture information and should not be cropped. On a 4:3 TV, this will then be shown as a 16:9 letterbox to ensure no image is lost. Other widescreen 16:9 content (like sports coverage) may be broadcast with AFD 15, indicating that ...

  9. Ghost-canceling reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost-canceling_reference

    Ghost-canceling reference (GCR) is a special sub-signal on a television channel that receivers can use to compensate for the ghosting effect of a television signal distorted by multipath propagation between transmitter and receiver.
