7 Glossary  
H
HDTV (High-Definition Television)  
It is a digital television broadcasting system  
with higher resolution than traditional  
television systems (standard-definition TV,  
or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast;  
the earliest implementations used analog  
broadcasting, but today digital television  
(DTV) signals are used, requiring less  
bandwidth due to digital video compression.  
A
Antenna  
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up  
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a  
transmitted RF signal.  
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems  
Committee)  
The Advanced Television Systems Committee,  
Inc., is an international, non-profit organization  
developing voluntary standards for digital  
television. The high definition television  
standards defined by the ATSC produce wide  
screen 16:9 images up to 1920x1080 pixels  
in size -- more than six times the display  
resolution of the earlier standard. However,  
many different image sizes are also supported,  
so that up to six standard-definition “virtual  
channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz  
TV channel.  
U
UHF (Ultra high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).  
V
VHF (Very high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.  
C
Coaxial  
A single copper conductor, surrounded with  
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding  
copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket.  
An unbalanced transmission line with constant  
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly  
used for low level, line signals terminated in  
RCA connectors.
