Introduction and Scope This document is a description of the Truck Coder II analog modulation as applicable to occupied bandwidth and spectral mask measurements for FCC type certification. Two modes of analog operation are 17 MHz Frequency Plan, and 12 MHz Frequency Plan. The FM deviation and audio subcarrier frequencies are modified from the standard to meet 12 MHz occupied bandwidth and spectral mask requirements. The occupied bandwidth for 17 MHz operations is 15 MHz. the occupied bandwidth for 12 MHz operation is 12 MHz. 2.

IDU Analog Modulation Block Diagram 4.1.1. Video input level Standard broadcast equipment is set up for 1 V pk-pk Video, with 75 ohm source and load terminations. For occupied bandwidth and spectral mask measurements, the internal color bar generator is used. This internal generator level is calibrated to be equivalent to standard video input. 4.1.2. Video Low Pass filter Multipole low pass filter passes 4.2 MHz and rolls off at about 3 dB at 4.5 MHz. This filter configuration is used for NTSC format only, not PAL. Frequency flatness and pre-emphasis are specified by the EIA 250-C standard for short haul systems.

Disclosure to others, use, or copying without the express written authorization of Broadcast Microwave Services, Inc. is strictly prohibited. 4.1.3. Video pre-emphasis: CCIR video pre-emphasis is used. This attenuates low frequency components of the video, and amplifies slightly the high frequency components. CCIR Video Pre-Emphasis Frequency (MHz) Pre-Emphasis (dB) 10 -10 400 -3 761 0 (ref) 3000 +3 4.1.4. Video injection: The video is injected into a linear FM modulator with frequency response from a few Hertz to above 5 MHz. Linearity and frequency flatness meets EIA 250-C short haul requirements. FM deviation is 8MHz/Volt for 17 MHz channel plan, and 7 MHz/volt for the 12 MHz channel plan. FM deviation is intentionally attenuated for the 12 MHz plan to meet occupied bandwidth and spectral mask requirements. 4.1.5. Video Test Pattern: Six SMTE color bars at 75% luminance, plus a 100% white bar and a 0% black bar, plus white text overlaid upon the color bars.
