 INTRODUCTION
• As in other areas of electronics, digital technology
has made its impact on television transmission and
reception enabling gradual transition from analog to
digital from of signal processing.
• This has resulted in much improved TV pictures and
sound output quantity.
• While digital transmission via satellites is now
common, the means to do so by terrestrial means is
also picking up. Both analog and digital receiver are
in use at the receiving end.
 DIGITAL SYSTEM HARDWARE
• Analog signals can have any amplitude but in the digital
system information is represented in a discrete form for which
most common is the binary format.
• Memory devices: operation on digital data which need storage,
sequencing and retrieval are carried out with special circuit
called memory devices.
• The basic units for these circuits are logic gates and flip-flops.
• Clock pulses: the free running multi-vibrator is mostly used to
generate CLOCK pulses at the desired rate.
• Registers: a register is an array of flip-flops, all triggered by a
common clock.
• In digital system hardware there are various devices and techniques are used
such as
1)Data Encryption
2)Data Communication
3)Data Compression
4)Digital Computer
5)Central Processing Unit(CPU)
6) Microprocessor
7)Microcomputer
8)Analog to Digital Converters
9)Digital to Analog Converters.

• Data Communication:
For processing or transmission of data in digital form, it is necessary to
have a code to represent various numbers or letters. A commonly used code
is ASCII.
• Analog to Digital (A/D) converters:
• Digital to Analog (D/A) converter:
 SIGNAL QUANTISATION AND
ENCODING
Video signal quantization:
• It has been practically verified that sampling of analog video
at 256 levels is sufficient to make the reproduced signal to be
almost undetectable from the original signal.
 Encoder:
•The quantization of any analog signal and generation of corresponding
binary code with an A/D converter is shown in figure.
•The quantizer, A/D converter and digital clock together is called PCM
ENCODER.
 DIGITAL SATELLITE
TELEVISION
• The four stages of digital satellite transmission are,
1) Signal Encoding
2) Processing
3) Modulation
4) Transmission
• Signal processing: the three stages of signal processing
are,
a) Data Compression
b) Data Encryption
c) Data Packetizing
 Signal Processing

• There are three stages of signal processing:

(i) Data Compression

(ii) Encryption
(iii) Packetising
 Digital Reception and Decoding
• Its consists of various sections:
1) Tuner demodulator
2) Forward error correction
3) Transport IC
4) Video and Audio Decoder
5) Video Encoder
6) Audio Encoder
 DIRECT TO HOME SATELLITE
TELEVISION
• The DIRECT TO HOME satellite broadcast system
enables viewers to receiver many channels of high
quality TV programs via high powered KU-BAND
satellites.
• For DTH service, ku-band frequencies are preferred
because these are not prone to interference from ground
point to point communication and also need smaller
diameter dish antenna.
• Low powered ku-band transmit in the 11.7 to 12.5GHZ
range & new high powered range is 12.2 to 12.7GHZ
for efficient operation of DTH transmissions.
 Receiver Front panel:
• ON/OFF switch- When set on OFF enables
flashing light to MESSAGE to indicate
necessary information.
• TV/DTH- It switches between satellite signal
and terrestrial antenna.
• Arrows and menu- Arrows to point different
items and Menu to select available
programmes.
 Receiver Back panel:
• Input connection- It includes jack for
connecting phone line, satellite ‘IN’ and ‘N’
from antenna or cable.

• Output connections- Out to TV, S- video,

Audio, Video and Wide band data.
