0 CONCLUSION
In general ,Digital TV decoder is a method of delivering cable television as digital data
instead of analog frequency. Many modern cable systems provide digital decoder for at least
part of their channel lineup. Because many carriers continue to use analog transmission for
legacy and low-numbered channels, and digital transmission for higher channels, a typical
digital decoder box is also able to convert traditional analog cable signals. Digital television
allows higher quality and quantity of cable TV signals. Digital transmission is compressed
and allows a much greater capacity than analog signals; it almost completely eliminates
interference, which has always been a hindrance to the cable TV industry. Digital converters
have the same purpose as analog ones but are able to receive digital cable signals. With more
data than analog in the same bandwidth, the system delivers superior picture and sound
quality. Despite the advance of cable-ready television sets, most users will need a decoder box
to receive digital channels. However, customers who do not subscribe to any digital channels
can go without; many carriers provide "basic decoder box " service within the analog range,
avoiding the need for distributing a box. However, advanced carrier services such as pay per
view and video on demand will require a box.In conclusion, all objective been achieve. At the
end,student able to identify type and waveform of the signals and its characteristics in
engineering systems. Able to understand signals and systems behaviour an be able to relate
and integrate the signals into a systems.
