Abstract

This paper presents and analyzes laboratory test results of Interference Cancellation Digital On Channel Regenerative Repeater(IC-DOCR) to broadcast digital television signals in the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC) transmission systems using single frequency networks(SFN). IC-DOCR laboratory test is classified to receiver test, transmitter test, and feedback interference cancellation test. The receiver part includes random noise, single echo, multi-path ensembles, and adjacent channel interference test. The transmitter part includes out-of channel emission, equality of transmitting signal, and phase noise test. By the laboratory test, the receiver part of the IC-DOCR eliminates 28dB of feedback signal higher than the received signal and has 17.8dB at TOV(Threshold Of Visibility) under random noise environment. Also, the transmitter part satisfies the specification of US FCC(Federal Communications Commission) as well as maintains good output signal quality for guaranteeing more than SNR 30dB.

본 논문에서는 단일 주파수 망(Single Frequency Network: SFN)으로 ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee) 지상파 디지털 TV 방송을 서비스하기 위한 간섭 제거 디지털 동일 재생중계기(Interference Cancellation Digital On Channel Regenerative Repeater: IC-DOCR)에 대한 실험실 테스트 결과를 기술하고, 그 결과를 분석한다. IC-DOCR 실험실 테스트는 수신부 테스트, 송신부 테스트, 그리고 궤환 제거 테스트로 구분된다. 수신부 테스트는 랜덤 잡음, 단일 에코, 다중경로 앙상블, 인접 채널 테스트 등을 포함하고, 송신부 테스트는 대역외 방사, 송신신호의 품질, 위상 잡음 테스트 등을 포함한다. 실험실 테스트 결과에 의하면, IC-DOCR은 수신신호 보다 28dB가 높은 궤환 신호를 제거할 수 있으며, 랜덤 잡음에 대한 TOV(Threshold Of Visibility)는 17.8dB이다. 또한 송신부 출력 신호는 미국의 FCC(Federal Communications Commission)규격을 만족하고, SNR 30dB 이상의 송신신호 품질을 유지한다.
