Coding and Modulation for Digital Television

Presents a comprehensive description of all error control coding and digital modulation techniques used in digital television (DTV). This book illustrates the relevant elements from the expansive theory of channel coding to how the transmission environment dictates the choice of error control coding and digital modulation schemes. These elements are presented in such a way that both the 'mathematical integrity' and 'understanding for engineers' are combined in a complete form and supported by a number of practical examples. In addition, the book contains descriptions of the existing standards and provides a source of corresponding references.
