An equalization algorithm is proposed to guarantee a stable performance in fast fading channels for digital television (DTV) systems from the advanced television system committee (ATSC) standard. In channels with high Doppler shifts, the conventional equalization algorithm shows severe performance degradation. Although the conventional equalizer compensates poor channel conditions to some degree, long filter taps required to overcome long delay profiles are not suitable for fast fading channels. The Proposed sparse equalization algorithm is robust to the multipaths with long delay Profiles as well as fast fading by utilizing channel estimation and equalizer initialization. It can compensate fast fading channels with high Doppler shifts using a filter tap selection technique as well as variable step-sizes. Under the ATSC test channels, the proposed algorithm is analyzed and compared with the conventional equalizer. Although the proposed algorithm uses small number of filter taps compared to the conventional equalizer, it is stable and has the advantages of fast convergence and channel tracking.

This paper proposes a new measurement method for the effective measurement of the 99% occupied bandwidth (OBW) at monitoring stations. Although the OBW measurement of radio signal is recommended by the International Telecommunication Union Radio (ITU-R) with several methods, there still does not exist a clear measurement recommendation or standard for terrestrial DTV signal on-air environment. Modified adjacent channel power ratio (MACPR), which can be applied to 8-VSB (Vestigial Side Band) DTV (Digital Television) signal, is herein defined to verify the results of measurements obtained using the proposed measurement method. MACPR is a proper measuring parameter for determining the measuring area of a monitoring station. From measurement results obtained in real field environment, it has been found that the OBW of 8-VSB DTV signal can be effectively measured in areas where the MACPR value is over 35 dB and when the measurements are repeated more than 600 times in the same reception site. It also has been verified that measured results are within an error range of +/-0.1% compared to results directly obtained at a transmission station. It is expected that the proposed method is able to be employed in order to determine the proper location of monitoring station and provide a reliable OBW measurement procedure for 8-VSB DTV signal on-air environment.

With commencing trial 3D digital broadcasting, the studies on next generation digital broadcasting technology for coming UHDTV era is being actively progressing. In this paper, I propose surround audio formats for next-generation digital TV broadcasting, along with comparative study of major surround audio formats in use or under development. I did comparative study on current major competing surround formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS HD MA, along with NHK proposed 22.2 channel surround format for UHDTV system. Upon this comparative study and our housing situation consideration, I propose lossy compression 3D surround 7.1 channel surround format along with loosless 2.0 and 4.0 hi-fi format as next generation digital TV broadcasting standard. In lieu with this, I also propose transmitting binaural 2 channel audio data as sub-audio. It will give holographic sound experience when properly processed with individual HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) with headphone. The table for data rate of each proposed audio format is also presented.

본고에서는 북미 차세대 모바일 DTV(Digital Television) 규격인 ATSC-M/H(Mobile/Handheld) 기술의 주요 특징을 살펴본다. ATSC-M/H 기술은 6MHz 대역폭을 통해 총 19.39Mbps의 전송률을 지원할 수 있는 ATSC(Advanced Television Standard Committee) 시스템에서 HD 콘텐츠 전송 시 생성되는 여유 공간에 모바일 콘텐츠를 추가하여 전송하는 기술로 최대 120km/h의 이동속도를 지원한다. ATSC-M/H는 모바일 서비스를 위한 별도의 주파수 할당이 필요 없고, 기존 ATSC 시스템에 간섭을 주지 않으면서 동시방송이 가능하며, 저렴한 투자비용으로 모바일 방송 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 특징이 있다.

본 논문에서는 동적 다중경로 환경에 대한 DTV수신 성능 개선을 위하여 정보 데이터 세그먼트 부분에서는 Stop and Go 알고리즘을 사용하고 313 세그먼트 중 한 개만이 훈련열로 쓰이는 기존의 ATSC 표준의 데이터 프레임 구조보다 더 많은 훈련열이 들어있는 새로운 데이터 프레임 구조를 제안한다. 정보가 없는 널 패킷을 훈련열로 대체하기 때문에 데이터의 손실 없이 더 많은 훈련열을 사용하여 특히 동적 다중경로 환경에서 등화기의 수렴 특성을 개선할 수 있다. 전산 모의 실험을 통하여 동적 다중경로 환경의 도플러 천이에 대한 시스템 수신 성능의 개선을 확인하였다.

DTV(Digital Television)라 일컬어지는 방송 방식은 미국의 경우 지상파를 이용하여 압축된 영상신호와 음성신호를 방송 및 수신을 하기 위한 것으로 ATSC(Advanced Television System Committees)가 규격을 제안하고 FCC(Federal Communications Commission)가 수용하여 현실화 되어졌다. ATSC 산하의 다양한 Working Group에서는 방송국, 방송장비업체, 가전업체 등이 제안함으로써 규격화하여 전송부는 VSB(Vestigial Side-band), 영상압축은 MPEG2, 음성압축은 AC3로 결정하였다. 본 고에서는 ATSC의 규격에 따라 송신되어지는 방송을 수신할 수 있도록 채널복조와 영상 및 음성신호를 복호화 할 수 있는 수신 시스템의 구성과 테스트 결과를 살펴보고자 한다.

In this paper, the changes of broadcasting loudness before and after are measured for the major broadcasting channels according to the amendment of broadcasting law and enforcement of digital television broadcasting loudness technology standards. Before the implementation of digital television broadcasting loudness technology standards. all the channels to be measured were broadcast at a higher volume level than the technical standards. However, after the implementation, most of the channels to be measured were maintained at a loudness level suitable for the technical standards. However, some programs are inadequate to meet technical standards, requiring corrective action, and the need for additional research to improve the measurement method.

In this paper, interference analysis is carried out to obtain the operating criterion and coexistence condition between digital television devices and cognitive radio-based mobile wimax devices in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) broadcasting frequency bands. To this end, an efficient interfering calculation tool known as SEAMCAT (Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte-Carlo Analysis Tool) is employed to acquire the coexistence criterions between heterogeneous radio links operating in the same portion of spectrum. As a result, these criterions will be used to achieve interference temperature limit level applied to interference temperature model for analyzing the capacity of cognitive radio receivers accurately.
