본 논문은 ATSC T3/S9에 수신 성능 개선을 위해 제안된 방식 중 이중 스트림 기술을 알아보고 Robust 8-VSB와 Pseudo 2-VSB의 등화기에서 강인 데이터가 일반 데이터의 성능에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하기 위해 전산 모의 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 Robust 8-VSB 방식은 이용된 모든 채널 환경에서 강인 데이터가 일반데이터의 성능 개선에 도움을 주지만, Pseudo 2-VSB방식의 경우는 채널 환경이 나쁜 경우에 강인 데이터가 일반 데이터의 성능 개선에 도움을 주는 것을 보여주었다.

Platform operators adopted ATSC standard send only their own channel program schedule information, so in order for the viewer to see other channel information, they have to tune the channel to the other. This issue arises from the operators' lack of bandwidth and the business interest conflicts between the platform operators. This paper guides how ATSC standard could be used within Xlet based application to display other channel information through the ISG (Integrated Scheduling Guide) technology via interactive return channel services. Its own channel information can be displayed by using on-air PSIP (Program and System Information Protocol) data.

This Paper Proposes the algorithm for improving the Performance or symbol timing synchronization in hoc terrestrial DTV system. The Gardner algerian is used for symbol timing synchronization has good performance in multipath fading environment but degradation of performance is caused by jitter. Though the amount of jitter becomes more little as narrow bandwidth of loop Inter, convergence speed becomes slower. This paper propose the algorithm that averages out values of loop filter every certain time and gradually reduces the bandwidth of loop filter after estimating offset using this average for the high speed of convergence and reducing the met of jitter. The proposed algorithm has better performance with high speed of convergence and the amount of jitter than conventional method.

Following the proliferation of three-dimensional video contents and displays, many terrestrial broadcasting companies prepare for starting stereoscopic 3DTV service. In terrestrial stereoscopic broadcast, it is a difficult task to code and transmit two video sequences while sustaining as high quality as 2DTV broadcast attains due to the limited bandwidth defined by the existing digital TV standards such as ATSC. Thus, a terrestrial 3DTV broadcasting system with heterogeneous video coding systems is considered for terrestrial 3DTV broadcast where the left image and right images are based on MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC, respectively, in order to achieve both high quality broadcasting service and compatibility for the existing 2DTV viewers. Without significant change in the current terrestrial broadcasting systems, we propose a joint rate control scheme for stereoscopic 3DTV service. The proposed joint rate control scheme applies to the MPEG-2 encoder a quadratic rate-quantization model which is adopted in the H.264/AVC. Then the controller is designed for the sum of two bit streams to meet the bandwidth requirement of broadcasting standards while the sum of image distortions is minimized by adjusting quantization parameter computed from the proposed optimization scheme. Besides, we also consider a condition on quality difference between the left and right images in the optimization. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed bit rate control scheme outperforms the rate control method where each video coding standard uses its own bit rate control algorithm in terms of minimizing the mean image distortion as well as the mean value and the variation of absolute image quality differences.

In this paper, we describe a new 1/4 rate robust modulation techniques for Enhanced-x VSB system which is fully backward compatible with ATSC 8-VSB standard. 1/4 rate mode Enhanced-xVSB system provides broadcasters with a wide choice of trade-offs of data rate vs amount of robustness of enhanced data for pedestrian/mobile services. Lab test results of proposed Enhanced-xVSB 1/4 rate mode robust stream are a significantly improved multipath as well as AWGN reception performance for Enhanced-xVSB receiver. We suggest an Enhanced-xVSB terrestrial broadcasting system for ATSC HDTV and pedestrian/portable TV simultaneous broadcasting service providing.

In this paper, we proposed a TxID(Transmitter Identification) system using ZCD (Zero Correlation Duration) code as interference-cancelled spread codes for single frequency network of ATSC terrestrial DTV broadcasting. ZCD codes are simply implemented and have ZCD characteristics. Then, Proposal system can fundamentally solve interference problems caused by ICI(Inter Code Interference) and MPI(Multi-Path Interference) which happens in TxID system using spread coding method. Also, those can cancel truncated error which happens at watermarking for TxID since those can remove its period. In this paper, we identified the availability of TxID system applying interference-cancelled ZCD codes by analyzing DER (Detection Error Rate) which is simulated in various interference environments such as AWGN, ICI, and MPI.

The 8-VSB modulation, the transmission standard for the terrestrial digital television(DTV) of the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC), suffers from multipath fading because it conveys information on the amplitude. To solve this problem, decision feedback equalizers(DFE's) have been commonly used in terrestrial DTV receivers. However, under severe channels, such as a 0 dB ghost channel or a single frequency network (SFN) channel, the DFE shows unstable convergence due to the error propagation caused by decision errors. Instead of unstable time-domain DFE schemes, by proposing a frequency-domain direct-inversion equalization method, we try to guarantee stable equalization and achieve low symbol error rates. To secure the existence of a channel inverse, channel-matched filtering and noncausal filtering are carried out prior to equalization. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs much better than existing DFE schemes in terms of both the stability and the symbol error rate.

본 고에서는 미국식(ATSC) 지상파 디지털 TV 방송을 단일 주파수 망(SFN)을 통해 서비스하기 위해 필요한 기술적인 사항에 대하여 고찰하고, ATSC 방송 방식에서 SFN을 구성하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. SFN구성은 방송 주파수의 이용 효율을 높이고, 방송 구역 내에서 안정적인 전파 세기를 보장한다. 이러한 SFN 구성을 위한 기술은 복수 개의 송신기를 이용하는 방법(DTX)과 복수 개의 디지털 동일 채널 중계기(DOCR)를 이용하는 방법으로 나뉘어진다. ATSC 방식에서는 두 가지 방법 모두 사용하여 SFN 구성이 가능하나, 복수 개의 송신기를 이용하는 방법은 현재의 기술 기준을 변경해야 한다는 제약이 따른다. 반면 다수 개의 DOCR를 이용하는 방법은 기존의 송신기와 함께 SFN 구성이 가능하여 망 구성이 용이하다.
