Objective: To determine whether there is an increased cancer incidence and mortality in populations exposed to radiofrequency radiations from TV towers. Design: An ecological study comparing cancer incidence and mortality, 1972-1990, in nine municipalities, three of which surround the TV towers and six of which are further away from the towers. (TV radiofrequency radiation decreases with the sq...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become increasingly popular due to its potential applications in digital audio broadcasting, digital terrestrial TV broadcasting, and satellite communication. A notable drawback of OFDM systems is their sensitivity to nonlinear distortion. For maximum power efficiency, amplifiers and transmitters of modern communication systems often operate...

Automatic real-time recognition of TV commercials is an essential step for TV broadcast monitoring. It comprises two basic tasks: rapid detection of known commercials that are stored in a database, and accurate recognition of unknown ones that appear for the first time in TV streaming. The existing approaches, however, can not perform robust commercial detection because they highly rely on the ...

CAN AN ORDINARY black-and-white TV receiver reproduce a color image? "No," you say. Wrong! Believe it or not, the answer is a resounding yes -provided the telecast is in "electronic" color using the Color-Tel subjective color process". Developed by James F. Butterfield, Sherman Oaks, California, electronic color is a remarkable TV broadcasting technique using relatively unknown optical principl...

The broadcasting industry is rapidly entering the era of digitization, distributed intelligence, and interactivity. Despite lingering standards issues, digital transmission is replacing analog in the three major delivery platforms (terrestrial, cable, and DBS). Powerful user terminal built upon PC hardware and software technology are replacing dumb analog TV sets. And after several failed attem...

SET the Brazilian Society for Television Engineering has been studying the topic and has been following up closely on the work done in other countries and by ITU. In 2013, it provided the Ministry of Communications and Anatel (Brazilian Telecommunications Regulatory Agency) with extensive interaction with companies and regulators from countries as the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany. It also...

The mobile broadcasting services such as mobile television (TV) and interactive social TV become more popular in wireless broadcasting networks and attract a lot of research attention in pervasive computing. However, due to the error-prone nature of wireless broadcast, how to efficiently recover packet loss at mobile devices is a big challenge. To solve this problem, many research efforts sugge...
