This paper gives a general description of the TH system, which is a long‐haul system operating in the 5925–6425 mc band. It discusses the considerations governing the major design decisions, which lead to an FM system of eight channels in each direction, six working and two protection. Each channel has a 10‐mc potential baseband width. The paper continues with a discussion of noise considerations, primarily from the viewpoint of telephone transmission. Fluctuation noise and modulation noise are the principal sources, with interference between radio channels a minor factor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
