Topic:
Verifying RF Signal Coverage Measurements of NTSC and 8VSB
Jim Zook, President
Z Technology, Inc.
In today's world, with a proliferation of program transmission paths to the viewer's home, it is easy to lose track of how well each path is technically performing. Engineers must not only maintain their NTSC transmission path, but now have the added responsibility of maintaining new 8VSB DTV facilities.
RF coverage measurements are more important than ever. Changes in transmission systems involve a coverage risk, and the ultimate coverage provided by new facilities must be quantified as DTV becomes the primary over-the-air path.
Jim Zook, President of Z Technology, Inc., Beaverton, Oregon, will discuss techniques and experiences with automatic RF measurements. New 8VSB DTV measurement systems can quickly determine the the correct transmission system was designed, installed, and maintained to cover an area of interest.
Directions:
I-75/I-85 to 10th/14th/17th Street Exit. Turn West on 14th Street. Georgia Public TV will be on the left, approximately 1/4 mile ahead.
Open House

The address of the facility is 1890 Beaver Ruin Circle, Suite D, Norcross, GA 30071. Please RSVP to Paula Bingham, 770 638-1378, ext. 105.
