Abstract :
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has developed the MUSE system for the transmission of HDTV (high-definition TV) via a direct broadcast satellite. While MUSE has demonstrated high picture quality, the base bandwidth of MUSE is too wide to be transmitted through a single 6-MHz terrestrial broadcast channel. For terrestrial broadcasting, NHK has developed three ADTV systems: NTSC-compatible MUSE-6, NTSC-compatible MUSE-9, and narrow-MUSE. Both narrow-MUSE and NTSC-compatible MUSE-6 can be transmitted with a single 6-MHz RF channel, while NTSC-compatible MUSE-9 uses a 3-MHz augmentation channel
