Title
Improvement of CATV transmission using an optimum coherent carrier system
Abstract
For future development multichannel CATV-transmission systems the utilization of phase-coherent picture carriers is discussed as a means of reducing intermodulation and crossmodulation-distortion arising in the line repeater amplifiers. The author presents experimental and theoretical data for comparison of transmission performance. As a basis, non-coherent operation is reviewed. In order to evaluate the improvement by a coherent system the problem of optimum carrier phase relation is investigated. Experimental results demonstrate the suppression of distortion, if the phases are adjusted according to a certain code which was found by optimization.
