Considerations in the selection of a frequency band for satellite broadcasting of HDTV
Abstract
The paper examines issues surrounding the selection of a new allocation that must be considered by the CCIR and the domestic and international groups concerned with future satellite systems for broadcasting HDTV directly to homes. These issues include the bandwidth requirements for each HDTV channel and for the total allocation, the desirability of having the same band available worldwide, the technical and operational characteristics of possible bands, and the planned uses of bands in different parts of the world, and the problems of sharing frequencies between the BSS (broadcasting-satellite service) and other services. Included is a comparison of several bands that could be allocated to the BSS for wide RF-band HDTV. Preliminary recommendations for the 'least undesirable' bands for a new BSS allocation are presented.
