TV DISTRIBUTION

Bringing studio-quality video to the home

In today’s fast-changing broadcast industry, HP components play key parts in many areas of video delivery. For direct-to-the-home satellite systems, for example, HP provides ultra-low-noise amplification and block downconversion products through its gallium arsenide FET, pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistor (PHEMT), silicon GaAs MMIC, and diode technologies. HP has also developed the world’s first Ku-band silicon downconverter MMIC for digital satellite TVs.

Our line of economical transistors and microwave monolithic amplifiers serve as core components within the entire system. In addition, HP is providing LED lamps and displays that combine high reliability with low power consumption, and critical components for satellite uplink and cable television delivery.

Microwave and millimeter-wave components

HP also provides a range of integrated circuits useful in various bands up to 50 GHz for millimeter-wave digital video distribution applications. These include an attenuator, low-noise amplifier and low-to-medium power amplifiers.

Fiber optic transceivers, transmitters and receivers

In addition to their use in cellular base stations and switching centers, HP’s fiber optic datacom components are also used in video systems. HP’s “gigabit link” transmitter and receiver chipsets provide link startup and maintenance, partial framing, encoding, multiplexing, high-speed clock generation, clock and data recovery, demultiplexing, bit frame synchronization and decoding up to data rates of 1500 Mb/s. These chipsets are used to multiplex large numbers of channels for serial transmission and to demultiplex the channels at the receive end of the link.

LED lamps and displays

HP’s reliable, high-brightness, high-efficiency LED lamps are an excellent choice for pilot lights and function indicators on all types of equipment. Our seven-segment numeric displays are available in several sizes and colors for use as channel indicators, and our line of alphanumeric displays is available for more complex display applications.

RF integrated circuits

For use in the intermediate frequency portions of satellite earth stations, and for use throughout set-top boxes and for cable television signal distribution networks, HP’s MMIC amplifiers operate at frequencies up to 2.8 GHz. Other HP RFICs include active and self-oscillating mixers, and variable gain amplifiers.

Transistors

HP offers very-low-noise GaAs PHEMT transistors that are ideal for critical low-noise amplifier applications in direct-broadcast satellite home receivers. Other HP silicon and GaAs transistors are suitable for use as mixers, local oscillators and IF amplifiers.

Diodes

HP Schottky-barrier diodes offer wide dynamic range when used as balanced mixers for frequency downconversion. Schottky diodes have lower noise figure and distortion than GaAs ICs. PIN diodes are used for switching and attenuating circuits, since they offer low distortion at a low price.
