This video covers the basics of whole house RF signal distribution concentrating on how components of RF distribution operate, their characteristics and specification, and proper application. This part will introduce the basics of RF signal characteristics, RF signal distribution requirements, and system components and operation.
** Introduction: Basic Definitions
** Cable Signals and Signal Level Requirements: Channel Allocations, NTSC Channel Spectrum , Digital Channels , dB Scale, dB Calculation Example, dBmV , FCC Part 76
** Coax Cable and Connectors: Coax Cable, Cable Loss, Shields and Shield Construction, Loop Resistance, Coax Connectors
** Off-Air Signals and Antennas: Off-Air Frequency Chart, DTV , How TV Antennas Work, Antenna Misconceptions, Multi-path Problems, Antenna Design Criteria, Directivity, FM Radio, FM Antennas, Antenna Feed Cable
** Direct Broadcast Satellite Systems: DirecTV, DISH Network, DBS Antennas, Multi-switches, LNB Cabling to Distribution Center
** Distribution System Components and Characteristics: Amplifiers, Modulators, Attenuators, Terminators, Splitters/Combiners, Coupler/Tap, Filters, Diplexers, Tilt Compensator

The first portion of this video covers RF system design requirements and how components are
used to solve various signal distribution and integration problems in
typical residential installations. Complete installation requirements
will be covered and the installation examples will be introduced to
illustrate how system designs are put in practice.
** Planning steps
** Determine the RF Sources: External Sources, Internal Sources, Off-air Service, Additional Planning Tips, FM Reception
** Determine Destination Devices
** Determine a Channel Allocation Plan
** Integrate Source and Destination
** Determine Source and Destination Signal Levels Calculating Gains and Losses Specify the RF Distribution Components
The second portion of this video demonstrates the prewire and trim-out of a custom home showing how RF distribution systems are installed and tested. A wide range of equipment will be install that demonstrates the material covered in the previous video and the first half of this video. The installation will emphasize planning, equipment selection and installation rather than wiring.
** Job Planning: Determine the Customer Requirements, Determine the RF Sources, Determine the Destination Devices, Determine a Channel Allocation Plan, Integrate Source and Destination, Determine Source and Destination Signal levels, Calculate Gains and Losses, Specify the RF Distribution Components
** Additional Planning Steps : Off-Air Reception, Satellite Service, Broadband Internet Service
** Prewiring the Home
** Initial Trim-Out: Distribution Center Equipment, Initial Testing, Off-Air Antenna Installation, Satellite Installation, Camera Installation
** System Configuration and Testing: A/V Equipment Installation, Final Performance Testing, Off-Air Antenna Alignment, Finale Satellite Dish Alignment, FM Receiver Programming
** Course Closing: Where to get additional information
