Many communications and broadcast media have emerged by the rapid development of wireless communication and broadcasting technologies, so the radio resources are insufficient for these services. DMB can use the regional integrated channel due to the SFN broadcasting network, so DMB uses the frequency efficiently. However, the domestic DMB uses the existing analog TV frequency band and uses a plurality of channels in some areas because of the interference with the analog TV. However, the broadcasting of the analog TV was terminated, so the channel reallocation of the terrestial DMB is necessary for the efficient use of frequencies. This paper proposes the channel reallocation method of the terrestial DMB and analyzes the change of transmission and reception environments by using simulations.

Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) has attracted much attention as one of next generation broadcasting services. For the commercialization of UHD broadcasting service, standardization groups including the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) and the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) have decided to adopt the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for signal transmission. However, when the carrier frequency is not properly synchronized at the receiver, inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) may occur. In order to avoid performance degradation resulting from ISI or ICI, receivers should synchronize the carrier frequency by using preambles and pilot symbols. However, there only few published literature dealing with the frequency offset estimation methods regarding the next generation terrestrial broadcasting. In this respect, this paper proposes a method to estimate timing and fractional frequency offset for the ATSC 3.0 system by using a preamble bootstrap symbol. The proposed detector can detect the fractional frequency offset by adding a complex conjugate product on the conventional estimator where only timing offset can be estimated.

This study surveys and discusses that to what extent consumers are understanding the benefits and which purpose of use they support more regarding the 700 MHz frequency band allocation for mobile communication use as well as public terrestrial UHD TV broadcasting use. The results of this study can be summarized as follow. First, consumers perceive not only advantages but disadvantages for the decision that 700 MHz frequency band is divided and utilized for both mobile communication and UHD TV broadcasting use. Second, 43% of consumers (the largest portion of opinions) say that they support government's final decision of 700 MHz frequency band allocation, which can be interpreted that government's long term discussion and final decision of frequency allocation policy is favorably accepted by the majority of consumers. The importance of this study is to survey consumers' perception of government's 700 MHz band frequency allocation policy from impartial point of view from either communication or broadcasting interest.

다양한 무선 통신 서비스의 등장으로 주파수 자원의 수요가 급증하여 스펙트럼 이용 효율을 극대화하기 위한 새로운 기술 개발의 필요성이 대두되고 있으며, 이에 대한 기술로 Cognitive Radio (CR) 기술이 주목받고 있다. CR 기술은 선택된 주파수 대역에 최적의 QoS를 제공하기 위해서는 먼저 주파수 환경에 적응성을 갖는 스펙트럼 센싱 (Spectrum Sensing) 기술이 필요하며, CR 기술이 적용된 무선 브로드밴드 네트워크 (AWBN : Adaptive Wireless Broadband Network) 모듈은 최근 각광받고 있는 방통융합 솔루션의 Hot Issue인 QoS 보장 홈네트워크 기반의 멀티미디어 전송(TV Portal Service)용 네트워크에 최적화된 솔루션으로 활용될 것으로 기대하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, IEEE 802.22 그룹에서 연구되고 있는 비어있는 TV 대역 및 마이크로폰 대역에 활용될 뿐만 아니라, 기존의 Mobile WiMax에 의한 브로드밴드 네트워크에도 활용 가능하다. 본 고에서는 IEEE 802.22/16d 시스템 규격에 의해 개발된 AWBN 시스템 개발 내용을 기술한다.

This paper presents the optimal design method of SAW filters with arbitrary frequency characteristics. The design program using the unconstrained nonlinear optimization method and FFT algorithm is developed for optimal design of SAW filters with arbitrary frequency characteristics. As a design example, a SAW TV IF filter with asymmetric-amplitude and nonlinear-phase frequency characteristics is designed.

최근 3D HDTV (3-Dimensional High Definition Television)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 3D HDTV 방송 서비스를 위하여 기존의 ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) 8-VSB (8-Vestigial Side Band) 시스템을 수정하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 프레임 생성 과정에서 프레임 헤드 부분에 PN (Pseudo-Noise)심볼을 사용하는 새로운 시스템의 개념을 제안하고, 이 시스템을 수정된 ATSC 시스템이라 부를 것이다. 수정된 ATSC 시스템은 기존 ATSC 8-VSB 시스템에서 사용되던 VSB 변조방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 수정된 ATSC 시스템에 적용 가능한 반송파 주파수 복구 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 반송파 주파수 복구 방식은 Fitz 알고리즘을 사용하는 거친 주파수 복구부와 간단한 PN심볼 상관 알고리즘을 사용하는 미세 주파수 복구부로 구성된다. 그리고 진폭만을 변조하여 사용하는 VSB 변조 방식의 경우 심볼 정보가 동위상 채널에만 존재하고, 직교위상 채널은 단순히 동위상 채널의 힐버트 변환된 값에 지나지 않는다. 그러므로 VSB 변조된 심볼은 QAM 변조된 심볼 처럼 일정한 배열을 가지지 않고, 반송파 주파수 옵셋에 더욱 민감하게 된다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 수신된 PN심볼에 대한 위상 보정 과정을 수행하고, 이 과정은 수정된 ATSC 시스템의 반송파 주파수 복구 시 성능을 향상 시킨다.

Digital TV tuner for 8-VSB modulation was developed with satisfying the requirements of ATSC. Double frequency conversion and active tracking filter was used in order to suppress IF beat and image band, which results in reducing the interference between adjacent channels and multi-channels. The implemented digital TV tuner has excellent performance such as the wide dynamic range, good flatness in passing band, and low phase noise. The developed tuner is available to handle the digital and analogue television signal at the same time.

In this paper, we analyze the sharing performances for coexistence of different communication systems between adjacent channels in TV White space. We analyze the parameter performance result according to various density of interfering transmitter and transmitter output. Two cases are analyzed to consider an interference effect between each system. First, WiBro is an interfering transmitter and WLAN is a victim receiver. Second, WLAN is an interfering transmitter and WiBro is a victim receiver. Free space channel model, Extended Hata and IEEE 802.11 model are used for channel environment. Analyzed coexistence results under various co-use scenarios may be widely applied into the technique developed to get the coexisting condition for wireless devices using many communication protocols in adjacent frequency.

This paper considers technological requirements to broadcast digital television signals using distributed frequency network (DFN) in the advanced television systems committee (ATSC) transmission system and proposes distributed translator (DTxR) to meet such requirements. In the DFN, DTxR uses different frequency from main transmitter, but same among DTxRs. In addition, this paper introduces digital signal processing (DSP) techniques, which consist of demodulation, equalization, transmitter identification (TxID) generation and insertion, and modulation, to implement DTxR.
