June PROCEEDINGS presents an exclusive report of world-wide significance
IRE is proud to present, in June 1960 Special Issue of PROCEEDINGS, the findings of a team of 271 engineers who for 2V& years conducted studies of world-wide significance for the future of television. The Television Allocations Study Organization — formed by the TV industry in 1956 at the FCC's request — has exhaustively analyzed the engineering factors underlying allocation of frequencies for VHF and UHF television broadcasting.
As the number of television services grows, a better use of TV channels becomes increasingly important. TASO engineers first drew up specifications for measuring TV field strengths; then sifted data on field strengths of VHF and UHF. They have discovered reasons for hitherto unexplained deviations, and have also sought to establish a relation between field strength and picture quality.
How good are directional TV transmitting antennas? The results of extensive field tests are analyzed. To what extent do interfering signals and noise affect picture quality? How accurately can one predict an interfering field? These and other questions
are answered.
So important are the TASO findings that IRE has allocated 120 pages to them. If you are not already an IRE member, we suggest you send in the coupon below to reserve a copy, for the June 1960 PROCEEDINGS will surely remain the definitive work on VHF and UHF TV for many years to come.
