A Study on Hardware Implementation of a VSB Equalization System

VSB 등화시스템의 하드웨어 구현방법에 관한 연구

In this paper, we describe hardware implementation of VSB (Vestigial SideBand) mo-dulation equalization systems for HDTV (High Definition TeleVision). By modifying an adaptive equalization algorithm, we propose a hardware architecture with a low hardware cost and the performance close to floating-point operations. We also employ the pipeline concept to reduce the hardware cost. The effectiveness of the proposed hardware architecture is de- monstrated through computer simulation and the optimization result of VHDL circuit descriptions.
