Connector used in TV Channel

-
n broadcast engineering industry, there have to use various connector and cable for different purpose. Here I will describe some connector with image and usage.
Connector # 1
Connector Name: XLR Connector
Usage: It is mainly used for audio signal connectivity.  Beside this it is used for stage lighting equipment,  low-voltage power supplies and other applications. It has 3 to 7 pins.

Connector # 2
Connector Name: BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman or British Naval Connector or Bayonet Nut Connector) Connector
Usage: BNC connector is attached to the ends of coaxial cables. It can be used for connecting RF signals, aerospace electronics and video (analog and digital) signals. It is the alternative to RCA for professional video. Home usage electronics appliance such as televisions and DVD players etc. have BNC connectors as long as RCA connector to deliver composite video.
Most commonly used BNC connector are two types depending on their impedence, 50 ohms and 75 ohms. These connector are matched with the cable of same characteristic impedance. Video (particularly HD video signals) use 75 ohm BNC connectors, whereas 50 ohm connectors are used for data and RF.

Figure:  75 ohms and 50 ohms BNC connector.

Difference between 50 and 75 Ohm BNC connectors: Dieletric material at the interface of the 75 Ohm version is absence. Another difference is 50 ohm impedance for applications up to 4 GHz and 75 ohm impedance up to 2 GHz.

Connector # 3
Connector Name: BNC inline coupler video connector or BNC I connector.
Usage: To connect two BNC male connector.

Connector # 4
Connector Name: BNC T Connector (BNC Male to BNC Double Female Splitter) 
Usage: To take video signal from one BNC male connector and transmit this same signal through two female BNC connector.

Symbol rate, Bandwidth and Bit rate Calculation

-
In satellite communication bandwidth (BW), symbol rate and bit rate are the most vital fact for proper signal transmission. There are many commercial software for BW, Symbol rate and bit rate calculation for TV signal transmission. But the equations of these parameter calculation are as follows. BW= (1+Roll of factor)* Symbol rate In general Roll of factor is 35% Symbol Rate =BW / (1+Roll of factor) and Bit Rate = Symbol rate * Modulation* FEC* (188/204)                                     [when 188 is encoder packet length] or Bit Rate = Symbol rate * Modulation* FEC* (204/188)                                     [when 204 is encoder packet length] Here, FEC = Forward Error Correction. In general FEC is in the range from 1/2 to 7/8. 188/204 = constant Unit ** BW= Hz, KHz, MHz, GHZ ** Sym...

Azimuth and Elevation Angle for Satellite tracking

-
Image
Azimuth (Az) The earth station needs to know where the satellite is in the orbit. Then the earth station engineer needs to calculate some angles to track the satellite correctly. These angles are called antenna look angle. The look angles for the ground station antenna are the azimuth and elevation angles required at the antenna so that it points directly at the satellite. With the geostationary orbit the situation is much simpler than any other orbit. As the antenna beam width is very narrow and tracking mechanism is required to compensate for the movement of the satellite about the nominal geostationary position. Three pieces of information that are needed to determine the look angles for the geostationary orbit are a. Earth station latitude b. Earth station longitude c. Satellite orbital position Using these information antenna look angle can be calculated using Napier’s rule (solving spherical triangle). Azimuth angle denotes the horizontal angle measured a...

Ethernet (UTP) Cable

For computer networking purpose most commonly used cable is ethernet cable. Ethernet cable is mainly two types, UTP and STP. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair and STP stands for Shielded Twisted Pair. Among those UTP is used for most of the networking purpose. Depending on the network devices, UTP cable is two types- straight and cross. Here is a short description on this network cable. Figure: Network Cable (UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair) Generally mainly used two types of UTP cable. 1. Category 5 (Cat 5)  2. Category 6 (Cat 6) In UTP, there are total eight (8) cables in four (4) pairs. Those are Internationally there are two types of standard to make straight and cross cable. 1. T-568 A (generally called  standard A) 2. T-568 B (generally called  standard B) Note: From the above design it can be observed that , if  interchange 1,3 and 2,6 then A change into B or B change into A. Or simply interchange between Green and O...
