Abstract:
Millimeter-wave multichannel multipoint video distribution service, known as M/sup 3/VDS, is a new means of delivering multichannel TV to the home. The authors describe the concept, outline the technology, and report on the demonstrator system operating at Saxmundham in England. To the home viewer this service offers programmes from all sources via a single entry point, its compact unobstructive antenna being environmentally attractive in comparison with alternatives. It is concluded that distribution by millimeter-waves has the potential to make a substantial impact on the TV market in some countries. Also, it could be one of the first high-volume civil applications for GaAs monolithic circuits at millimeter wavelengths.<>
