Millimeter-wave (42 GHz) band SHV FPU for 8K Program Materials Transmission

摘要

Afield pick-up unit (FPU) is a wireless radio transmission device used to transmit program materials (video, audio, etc.) from an outside broadcasting site to a broadcasting station. It is commonly used for reporting emergencies or in sports relay broadcasts and therefore it is an essential part of productions that use program materials from outside the broadcasting station. 8K Super Hi-Vision (8K) program materials are much higher in resolution than the current HD program materials. Thus, an FPU for 8K programs must have a larger data transmission capacity. The Science & Technology Research Laboratories (STRL) has been researching a 42-GHz-band FPU (SHV-FPU) system with a large-capacity transmission capability that operates in the millimeter-wave band and uses dual-polarized MIMO technology (Figure).
