Abstract
An exciter ( ) is located along an information stream path of a transmission system ( ). The exciter ( ) supplies an information signal as a drive to an amplifying arrangement ( ). A coder ( ), programmable to be operative in any of several I/O formats, outputs the information signal that conveys data in a desired code arrangement. A filter ( ), programmable to be operative in any of several I/O formats, confines the information signal energy to a predetermined channel bandwidth. A modulator ( ), programmable to be operative in any of several I/O formats, modulating the information signal. A corrector/equalizer ( ), programmable to be operative in any of several I/O formats, pre-corrects the modulated signal for errors induced in the transmission system. A controller ( ) provides program control of the coder ( ), the filter ( ), the modulator ( ), and the corrector/equalizer ( ). Thus, the exciter ( ) is configurable to handle several formats, such as MPEG2, DVIDEO, and AES3.
