PART A — (10 x What is the significance of choosing the number of lines as 625 and not 623 or fe reception rate as 25 and not 24 as in motion pictures? along with the carrier and full VSB? What are the merits of using an RF amplifier before the frequency converter Why is it necessary to emplo L-C instead of R-C filter to remove IF ripple from the detected output? 5. Why is the colour signal bandwidth requirement much less than that of Y signal Why is the colour burst signal transmitted after each scanning line and why PAL colour burst is often called the swinging burst? 7. Justify the « 9545 MHz as the subcarrier frequency in the NTSC yste8. List the functions of the following st of a PAL-D colour receiver mentioning their input and output. (a) Bu phase discriminator (b) Colour killier 9. Why are up-link and down-link frequencies chosen to be in the GHz range and kept apart from each other? 10. Li t the merits of digital TV receivers that are not achievable in a analog PART B 16 = 80 marks) 11, (a) G) Show that the highest modulating frequency that needs to be handled in the 625 TV system is 5 MHz. Discuss the effect of number of lines, interlaced scanning and field frequency or 6 bandwidth, 9) (ii) For the composite Video Signal explain the following (1) Why are the horizontal pulses not used as syne. pulses. 3) (2) Why is it necessary to separate the broad vertieal syne. pulse and why are they notched at 32 js interval and not at 64 ys interval, (4 Or (b) (i) Discuss the merits and demerits of positive and negative amplitude modulation and justify the choice of negative modulation in most TV systems. 8) (ii) Explain how the inherent smear effect in a vidicon is overcome in a plumbicon.
