A television signal contains a voice component which is an FM signal, and a video component which is an AM signal. The TV transmitter basically combines the voice and video information and puts it onto what is called a carrier wave for transmission into the air. Think of a car that is used to deliver a bag of groceries and a bag of hardware to a house, both accomplished at the same time. The carrier wave is what is sent into the air from the television tower. A TV receiver basically separates the voice and video info from the carrier, processes whats left, sends the video to the screen and the sound to a speaker. Now the circuits that accomplish that miracle are very complex, and my explanation is very simple. There are many good WEB sites and books on the subject. A understanding of basic electronics would go a long way in helping to grasp the principals. Cool right!

Light wave travels into the camera --> changes into image --> changes into electric

magnetic waves --> travels to broadcast --> sent to satellites --> sent to the wires

which connects to homes

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) are in use, the most common usage of the medium is for Broadcast Television, which was modeled on the existing radio broadcasting systems developed in the 1920s, and uses high-powered radio-frequency transmitters to broadcast the television signal to individual TV receivers.

Broadcast TV is typically disseminated via radio transmissions on designated channels in the 54-890 MHz frequency band.[1] Signals are now often transmitted with stereo and/or surround sound in many countries. Until the 2000s broadcast TV programs were generally transmitted as an analogue television signal, but in recent years public and commercial broadcasters have been progressively introducing digital television broadcasting technology.

A standard television set comprises multiple internal electronic circuits, including those for receiving and decoding broadcast signals. A visual display device which lacks a tuner is properly called a monitor, rather than a television. A television system may use different technical standards such as digital television (DTV) and high-definition television (HDTV). Television systems are also used for surveillance, industrial process control, and guiding of weapons, in places where direct observation is difficult or dangerous.

Amateur television (ham TV or ATV) is also used for experimentation, pleasure and public service events by amateur radio operators. Ham TV stations were on the air in many cities before commercial TV stations came on the air.

It is carried by a wire cable of the coaxial type, hence Cable, as opposed to broadcast television. In some instances the sound components of major TV live programs were carried in part on Coaxial (feeds) back in the sixties. these were live programs , not reruns or tapes. Nothing new under the Sun.

What is an antenna alternative?

By definition an antenna (aerial) is a piece of conductive material which receives (or radiates) radio waves. So there is no alternative to it if the signal is airborne and transmitted by radio signal. However, TV pictures can be transmitted using other methods which although using radio waves (light is a radio wave remember) doesn't use an aerial in the strict sense of the word. TV information can be transmitted as a captured signal in coaxial or open feeder cable like cable TV. This is still a radio signal being used but its not (supposed) to be radiating (although it does leak if badly installed). More recently fibre optic cables have replaced traditional copper wires to carry the information. This uses a modulated laser on multiple frequencies to transmit information to a converter which then produces voltage signals that a TV can decypher and produce an image from.


Is it right that a television channel is characterized by frequency of transmitted signal?

Yes, this is a true statement. A TV channel is most often characterized by the frequency of its transmitted signal.


How is mobille phones signal transmitted?

Radio Waves


Why is electricity transmitted at low frequecies?

The higher the frequency, the shorter the signal travels with the same relative transmit power. With lower frequency the signal travels longer. That's why you can listen to radio's from around the world, but not tv transmissions.


How does a computer receive a signal from a router?

transmitted via radio waves


3 How is digital radio different than the types of radio that came before It?

The way the signal is transmitted and processed. FM radios are transmitted via signal generators and amplifiers on the ground while digital radio like Sirius or AM are transmitted via satellites. The digital signals are sent in packets vs. lower frequency radio waves.


What is an airtime?

An airtime is the duration of time during which a television or radio programme is transmitted.


What is the purpose of antenna on a radio or TV set?

The purpose of an antenna on a radio or tv set is so that it can get signal so we can view tv or listen to the radio


How does a usb radio transmitter work?

Radio transmission occurs when sound or pictures are changed into waves and transmitted. Radio waves are then sent to receivers. The more powerful that a signal is, the further the signal will travel


What is bluescreen on the computer?

A bluescreen is typically the state of the TV/Monitor in the on state but in which no signal is being transmitted to the screen.


Why is TV square?

TV has an 'aspect ratio' which matches the transmitted signal pattern. Rectanguar shapes are easier for the eye to cope with.


Analog & digital communication?

In Analog communication, the analog message signal modulates some high carrier frequency inside the transmitter to produce modulated signal.this modulated signal is then transmitted with the help of a transmitting antenna to travel through the transmission channel. At the receiver, this modulated signal is received and processed to recover the original message signal. Example: AM , FM radio transmission an TV transmission. In digital communication, the message signal to be transmitted is digital in nature. This means that digital communication involves the transmission information in digital form Example: ASK, FSK, PSK.
