The National Association of Broadcasters publishes an annual (well, mostly annual) Engineering Handbook. You can get a copy at the NAB Store online. But $$$. Doubtful your local library will have a copy, but a nearby engineering college might.? Google Search.
Or, you can poke around the various websites relating to broadcasting. =46rom memory, (been a while since I was actively involved with broadcasting..), you can try:
Broadcasting and Cable Radio World RadioMagOnline.com TVTechnology Doug Lung's RF Home Page (Possibly outdated, and was heavy on DTV last time I checked) Broadcast Electronics

will have the channel plans / freq info.
Don't forget: Many of the equip vendor websites will have tutorials on the technology. Especially the newer digital stuff. You'll ID the vendors through the above magazines / web site links.

Official? Expect that each country with an agency that controls broadcasting will have a standard (or perhaps reference the standard of some other country). In the US, try the FCC. I gather you're in Taiwan, and imagine that the government there publishes a standard. For the FCC stuff, you might find this a useful start:

I was able to find answers to your specific questions there fairly quickly.
