Potential impact
of DTT on LTE
1) Co-channel interference from the remaining high power DTT services into any LTE services
operating in adjacent regions
2) Co-channel interference from any LTE deployment affecting the reception of DTT services
in the remaining pre clearance areas

Carbon nano-tubes have been used to make high Q resonators and switching
devices . Is there any way these functions can be combined to make a
tuneable resonator?
Are there ways of reducing loss and increasing isolation in multi-way RF
switches?
Are there innovative solutions to both improve the bandwidth and linearity
and reduce unwanted out-of-band radiation by transmitters (PA / driver) or to
improve the strong signal handling of receivers (LNA / mixer)? Such solutions
may be purely in the analogue domain or (more likely) may exploit DSP to
correct for analogue imperfections. Can these improvements be achieved
while continuing to reduce power consumption?
Are there new digital signal processing techniques that can be used to
linearise or correct for distortions in the analogue domain and consequently
reduce the need for analogue filtering?
Solutions that span the entire processing chain between the antenna and
baseband digital processing. Set up multi-disciplinary programmes, to bridge
the gap to find the best overall system solutions.
