ARLA/CLUSTER: Artigo sobre ATV Digital por Charles Brain, G4GUO

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

An article on a Digital ATV transmitter by Charles Brain*, G4GUO, has
just been published on the web.

Charles uses the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP2) card
developed by Matt Ettus, N2MJI.

The system comprises a Hauppague PVR-150 hardware MPEG 2 encoder PCI
card, a 4 core Pentium 4 P.C running Fedora Linux 12, the USRP2 and RF
bricks for 70cms and 23cms.

For reception a standard Fortec Star satellite set top box (STB) is
used for DVB-S and for DVB-T reception a regular U.K digital TV with a
homebrew receive converter are used.

The 6-page article starts on page 2 of the Autumn edition of the free
TAPR PSR magazine which can be downloaded at
