TTP looks to boost tv receiver performance
Cambridge based technology company TTP has been asked by Ofcom to assess the potential for future improvements in the performance of radio receivers, in particular for tv.
The firm's research will look at how mobile broadband and white space will operate alongside broadcast tv, and assess the potential for tv receiver performance - specifically adjacent channel selectivity - to be increased.
Lewis Davies, who is leading the project, said: "Although the performance of best in class silicon tuners now broadly matches the canned tuners that they replace, there are several challenges to overcome in order to achieve further improvements; for example, handling the intermittent and potentially high power transmissions from a nearby mobile device.
"Our work will shed light on what might be possible in the future whilst remaining within the same broad cost profile as today."
TTP's findings will be published later this year. Input from industry stakeholders is welcomed.
