Abstract: The Surveyor TV system is basically a direct RF carrier frequency-modulated transmission link, using two scan rates in analog video mode which result in two disparate transmission system bandwidths, and therefore two different demodulation schemes. The ground stations, or receiving subsystem, consist of real-time equipment and a high-quality system with special synchronization techniques. The specific parameters of the subsystem and of both real-time and video data ground-station subsystems are given; and, in addition, underlying formulas and relationships describing the performance of the complete TV link, with numerical-results, including computation of baseband frequency, RF transmission bandwidth, postdetection SNR gray-level resolution, carrier deviation vs. camera light level and line-to-line jitter. Finally, a digital computer simulation of the Surveyor TV signal link is presented, showing the effects of carrier deviation, and predetection SNR on output signal quality and line-to-line jitter.
