Abstract

In this paper, we propose the occupied bandwidth(OBW) measurement method for effectively measuring the 99 $\%$ OBW at monitoring station. In order to validate the measurement results obtained from the proposed measurement method, the modified adjacent channel power ratio(MACPR) is herein defined as the formula which was suitable for applying to the OBW measurement of 8-VSB DTV signals. It has been found that the MACPR is a good measurement parameter applicable for the proper site selection of monitoring station and the effective OBW measurement of 8-VSB DTV signals should be made for MACPR$\geq$35 dB with 600 measurement trials. The proposed measurement procedure is herein given and proven to effectively be applicable to the OBW measurement of terrestrial 8-VSB DTV signals on the air.

본 논문은 감시국에서 99 $\%$ 점유 대역폭 측정을 효율적으로 측정 하기 위한 점유 대역폭 측정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 측정법을 통해 얻어진 측정 결과의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 ATSC DTV 신호에 적용할 수 있는 MACPR을 정의하였다. MACPR은 감시국의 측정 지역을 선정하는데 적합한 측정 파라미터이다. 본 논문의 측정 결과, MACPR$\geq$35 dB 되는 지역 에서 600번 이상을 반복 측정 한다면, ATSC DTV 신호의 효율적인 점유 대역폭 측정이 가능하다는 결론을 얻었다. 본 논문은 제안된 측정 절차를 보여주고, 실제 필드 환경에서 제안한 효율적인 점유 대역폭 측정 방법을 적용하고 증명하였다.
