Apparatus for wireless RF transmission of uncompressed HDTV signal
First Claim
1. A system for transmitting and receiving an uncompressed HDTV signal over a wireless RF link, comprising:
- a clock that provides a clock signal synchronized to the uncompressed HDTV signal;
a data regeneration module connected to said clock and that provides a stream of regenerated data from the uncompressed HDTV signal, wherein said clock signal is synchronized to said stream of regenerated data;
a demultiplexer that demultiplexes said stream of regenerated data, using said clock signal, into an I data stream and a Q data stream;
a modulator connected to said demultiplexer that modulates a carrier with said I data stream and said Q data stream;
a demodulator that receives said carrier and demodulates said carrier so that said I data stream and said Q data stream are recovered;
a multiplexer connected to said demodulator and that multiplexes said I data stream and said Q data stream into a single stream of HDTV data that recovers the uncompressed HDTV signal.

Abstract
A system for transmitting and receiving an uncompressed HDTV signal over a wireless RF link includes a clock that provides a clock signal synchronized to the uncompressed HDTV signal and a data regeneration module connected to the clock, which provides a stream of regenerated data from the uncompressed HDTV signal. A demultiplexer demultiplexes the stream of regenerated data, using the clock signal, into an I data stream and a Q data stream. A modulator connected to the demultiplexer modulates a carrier with the I data stream and the Q data stream. A demodulator receives the carrier and demodulates the carrier so that the I data stream and the Q data stream are recovered. A multiplexer connected to the demodulator multiplexes the I data stream and the Q data stream into a single stream of HDTV data so that the uncompressed HDTV signal is recovered.
