The CATV industry has long needed a reliable and reproducible technique for evaluating the shielding effectiveness of CATV apparatus. The author will des cribe an operational system capable of swept frequency integrity measurements in excess of 150 dB, over a frequency range of 5-300 MHz, which technique does not require a screen room. Results of data obtained will be presented.

The launch of the joint Canada/U. S. CTS/Hermes satellite on January 17, 1976 made available an experimental satellite designed to operate at effective isotropic radiated power levels at least 10 times greater than those of previous communications satellites. Using Hermes, the concept of broadcasting television by satellite directly to small inexpensive ground terminals has been demonstrated to be technically feasible.

A multiplex system is described in which sequential segments of two video signals are time compressed and interleaved in analog form for transmission over a satellite transponder. Channel information rate and S/N are considered. The Time Compression Multiplex approach is extended to data plus video and two way video cases. A signal enhancement system for S/N improvement is proposed.

Optical-fiber technology provides a new medium for the transmission of video signals. Some of the advantages which optical fibers have over coaxial cables are: wide bandwidth without the need for equalization; freedom from RFI, crosstalk and loop problems; low attenuation; and small size and low weight. In this paper, an analog optical-fiber link was evaluated for the transmission of baseband video signals over a single fiber. It was found that studio-quality signal-to-noise ratios could be obtained for links up to 2.2 km in length if an optical fiber having an attenuation of 5 dB/km were used. Linear video distortion and nonlinear video distortion measurements were made and compared with commercial-network single-hop relay standards. All of the distortion figures were within the standards except for a slightly low chrominance/luminance gain ratio. This distortion could be corrected by modifying the optical receiver electronics. Differential gain and phase distortions were found to increase linearly with the modulation factor of the optical transmitter's light-emitting diode, but were within network standards when the factor was 0.5 or less.
