  2. Channel Master - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Master

    In the 1980s, Channel Master was the only second source for General Instrument (GI)'s Videocipher II module, a building block for satellite television receivers, under a licensing agreement for which Avnet paid GI a million dollars. The Channel Master 4251, a high-performance parabolic UHF television antenna, stood about seven feet in diameter ...

  3. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    The original information may or may not appear literally in the encoded output; codes that include the unmodified input in the output are systematic, while those that do not are non-systematic. A simplistic example of ECC is to transmit each data bit three times, which is known as a (3,1) repetition code. Through a noisy channel, a receiver ...

    He served from January 3, 1965 until January 3, 1969. During his tenure in Congress, Resnick took on the American Farm Bureau Federation and a Resnick aide subsequently wrote a book on the subject. He was a champion of civil rights and also supported the Vietnam War .

  5. SMATV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMATV

    [4] The system consists of a master antenna and a matching transformer to match the balanced antenna with unbalanced cable and amplifiers. [5] Most antennas have an impedance of around 300 Ω. To convert it to 75 Ω, a matching transformer (or balun) is used. For trunk line isolation, a resistive inductive device known as a splitter is used.

  6. Waveguide (radio frequency) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_(radio_frequency)

    In radio-frequency engineering and communications engineering, a waveguide is a hollow metal pipe used to carry radio waves. [1] This type of waveguide is used as a transmission line mostly at microwave frequencies, for such purposes as connecting microwave transmitters and receivers to their antennas, in equipment such as microwave ovens, radar sets, satellite communications, and microwave ...

  7. Cable television headend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television_headend

    A standard rack-mount headend. Once a television signal is received, it must be processed. For digital satellite TV signals, a dedicated commercial satellite receiver is needed for each channel that is to be distributed by the cable system; these are usually rack-mountable receivers that are designed to take up less space than consumer receivers.

  8. Reconfigurable antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconfigurable_antenna

    A reconfigurable antenna is an antenna capable of modifying its frequency and radiation properties dynamically, in a controlled and reversible manner. [2] In order to provide a dynamic response, reconfigurable antennas integrate an inner mechanism (such as RF switches, varactors, mechanical actuators or tunable materials) that enable the intentional redistribution of the RF currents over the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_interface...

    The Antenna Interface Standards Group (commonly referred to as AISG) is a non-profit international consortium formed by collaboration between communication infrastructure manufacturers and network operators with the purpose of maintaining and developing a standard for digital remote control and monitoring of antenna line devices in the wireless industry.
