Television Transmission and Reception

  • Transmission and reception involve the components of a television system that generate, transmit, and utilize the television signal wave form.

  • The scene to be televised is focused by a lens on an image sensor located within the camera.
    → produces the picture signal and the synchronization and blanking pulses are then added, establishing the complete composite video waveform.

  • The composite video signal & the sound signal are then imposed on a carrier wave of a specific allocated frequency and transmitted over the air or over a cable network.

  • After passing through a receiving antenna or cable input at the television receiver, they are shifted back to their original frequencies and applied to the receiver's display and loudspeaker.
