Amateur television (ATV)

Transmitting

- A good pre-emphasis for the Comtech TV module !

- A simplified video control box, to manage the switchings in a small ATV station.

- Don't forget to see the "twist oscillator" in the "microwave" section. It's a good simple homemade device to transmit television signals in the 13 cm band.

 

Receiving

- To receive Amateur TV signals, WFM, on the 23 cm band (Astra standard), nothing simpler than a standard, low cost, satellite demodulator. The device we describe here will enable you to evaluate the received levels. It is not a Smeter, but that resembles it!

 

Signals and measurements

- the preemphasis in Amateur Television : When one transmits a television signal, frequency modulated, one needs to preemphasize the video signal before modulation of the transmitter.

- the Vertical Insertion Test Signals in television : These invisible lines behind the screen which make it possible to appreciate the impairments undergone by the signal during its transmission. The realization of a simple device to visualize the VITS on the screen of an oscilloscope.
