Abstract: With the transition to DTV, some of the old challenges in maintaining signal purity through a high power transmitter become more complex as the signal can be much less tolerant to distortions. Comark has been researching new technologies to minimize and compensate for distortions in DTV transmitters for over four years. This paper will explain why these distortions are so important and what methods Comark is using in its new DTV transmitters to insure that the highest possible quality signal is transmitted at all times. Real world examples from high power DTV transmitter installations will be presented and explained.
