In this paper, we simulated terrestrial digital broadcasting system and analyzed the performance of 8-VSB signal and carried out baseband simulation of tranceiver modeling by standard parameter and passband simulation for interchannel interference. Also, an error rate equation for fading and interference of 8-VSB signal is derived. As a result, the case not to consider Rician fading, the influence of the interference did not exist if frequency interval fell of over the 20MHz. The case to consider Rician fading, the system had the degradation of the performance.

ATSC-M/H based hybrid 3DTV, which is one of the service compatible 3DTV system, has considerable quality gap between the left and right views. And CRA(Conditional Replenishment Algorithm) has been proposed to deal with the issue of resolution mismatch and improve the visual quality. In CRA, the disparity vectors of stereoscopic images are estimated. The disparity compensated left view and simply enlarged right view are compared and conditionally selected for generating the enhanced right view. In order to implement CRA, a fast algorithm is strongly required because the disparity vectors need to be obtained at every layer and the complexity of CRA is quite high. In this paper, we adopted SDSP(Small Diamond Search Pattern) instead of full search and predicted the initial position of search pattern by examining the spatio-temporal correlation of disparity vectors and also suggested the SKIP mode to limit the number of processing units. The computer simulation showed that the proposed fast algorithm could greatly reduce the processing time while minimizing the quality degradation of reconstructed right view.

This paper presents and analyzes laboratory test results of distributed translator (DTxR) for distributed frequency network (DFN) in the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) terrestrial digital TV broadcasting system. The DTxR laboratory test is classified to receiving part test and transmitting part test. The receiving part test includes dynamic range, random noise, single echo, and adjacent channel interference. The transmitting part test includes quality of output signal (out-of channel emission, quality of transmitting signal, and phase noise), frequency synchronization among output signals, and TxID (Transmitter Identification) signal's affect to the legacy receiver. By the laboratory test results, the receiving part of DTxR eliminates average -2.5 dB of single echo and has average 17.5 dB at TOV (Threshold of Visibility) under random noise environment. In addition, the transmitting part of DTxR satisfies the specification of US FCC (Federal Communications Commission), and frequency difference among DTxR output signals is less than 0.001 Hz.

In this paper we propose and analyze a novel modulation and pre-equalization method to minimize signal processing time delay for the Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater (EDOCR) in ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) terrestrial digital TV system. The proposed modulation method uses Equi-Ripple (ER) filter coefficients instead of conventional Square Root Raised Cosine (SRRC) after coefficients for VSB (Vestigial Side Bands) pulse shaping. And the proposed pre-equalization method calculates pre-equalizer filter coefficients by using baseband signal as reference signal and demodulated repeater output signal, then generates a new VSB pulse shaping filter coefficients by convolutioning ER filter coefficients and pre-equalizer filter coefficients. The newly generated pulse shaping filter does not have minimized time delay by adjusting the number of pre-taps of the filter, but also compensates linear distortions caused by ER filter and mask filter.

This paper presents and analyzes field test results of Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater (EDOCR) using ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee) terrestrial digital TV broadcasting system. In the field test, according to EDOCR On/Off, types of antennas and receivers we measured reception possibility, C/N(Carrier to Noise Ratio), reception power, noise and input margin at each test point. By the field test results, the reception rate of the receiver manufactured in 2004 was $33\%$ when EDOCR is off and directional antenna is used. However, the reception rate was $100\%$ when EDOCR is on. In addition, the noise margin, which determines reception quality was increased at least 6 dB, so that it is capable of constructing SFN(Single Frequency Network) using the EDOCR.

To analyze reception environments of ATSC Digital TV, CIR (Channel Impulse Response) analysis systems are widely applied. The receiving performances of conventional CIR analysis systems are not as good as those of commercial state-of-the-art receivers. There are difficulties in measuring and analyzing reception problems caused by multi-path interferences. To solve these problems, commercial DTV chip sets embedded CIR analysis system is proposed. Generally, commercial chip sets provide baseband (In-phase) channel data and field or segment sync data. For more precise analysis of measured I channel data, it is necessary to extract Q (quadrature) channel data components as well. This paper presents the technical requirements of CIR analysis system for DTV. In order to satisfy such requirements and measure more accurate magnitude and phase of CIR, a method to derive the quadrature data from the measured in-phase channel data is proposed. The proposed channel analysis system is implemented with a commercial DTV chip set and expedites the data analysis for use on DTV field test vehicles. Computer simulation and laboratory test results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed channel analysis system.

As constant development of digital broadcasting and data broadcasting system, new technology will be introduced to digital broadcasting and new broadcasting service will be appeared. These services need to be changed and processed to suit each services and the software of the receiver need to be upgraded. Though, generally the digital broadcasting receivers are not getting updated once it's delivered to home for long time and it need to be done by hand or collected each one of them with trouble. Therefore this paper suggests a way to overcome these difficulties via broadcasting stream. This research is to describe how three modules-namely (1) Downloader, downloads new software from data carrousel stream, (2) Update Loader, installs the software received by downloader; and (3) Recoverer, recovers the former version of the software if some serious problem has been occurred during downloading and installing the software. This paper tries to realize the accommodation of terrestrial STB based on the new technique and service following ATSC A-97 agreement.

In this paper, we suggested new additional data transmission technology for T-DMB system using MOK-SS(Mary Orthogonal Keying- Spread Spectrum)mapping method. We applied revised watermarking method of TxID(Transmitter Identification) technology mainly had been used for conventional ATSC-DTV(Advanced Television Systems Committee - Digital TV). And proposed schemes enhanced additional data rate using MOK-SS mapping method. We certified availability of our proposed technology by using various simulation and error rate performance analysis.
