Abstract :
Television distribution by wire networks, mainly for densely populated urban areas, is described. The subject is treated by considering the various types of network and transmitting and receiving systems. Attention is mainly focused on screened quad cable and coaxial cable. Transmitting and receiving systems are considered under two main subdivisions¿those distributing unmodified waveform and those distributing modified waveform. System layouts illustrated by simple calculations on subscribers´ feeders are included.
