RF video transmission

This paper outlines the applicative environment and sketches the technical details of an FM subcarrier technology called multipurpose radio communication channel (MPRC). This technology delivers data at maximum data rate of around 40 kbs using a proprietary codec algorithm, subsidiary communication channel (SCC). As a result it is possible to obtain video transmission in QCIF format at roughly 8/12 fps using 35 kHz of the 100 kHz available for a commercial FM radio station in Europe. In this way, it is possible to transmit video on FM radio together with the usual radio broadcasting. SCC is briefly described in its main characteristics.
