Wireless RF link for uncompressed transmission of HDTV signals

摘要

A method for transmitting and receiving an uncompressed HDTV signal over a wireless RF link includes steps of: providing a clock signal synchronized to the uncompressed HDTV signal; and providing a stream of regenerated data from the uncompressed HDTV signal, with the clock signal synchronized to the stream of regenerated data. The clock signal is then used for demultiplexing the stream of regenerated data into an I data stream and a Q data stream. The method further includes steps of: modulating a carrier with the I data stream and the Q data stream; transmitting the carrier over the wireless RF link; demodulating the carrier so that the I data stream and the Q data stream are recovered; multiplexing the I data stream and the Q data stream into a single stream of HDTV data; and recovering the uncompressed HDTV signal from the single stream of HDTV data.
