Basic and transmission video quality testing was performed in real-time mode using hardware video codec based on MPEG-2 MP@ML standard including subsequent transmitting and receiving satellite simulator unit. The double-stimulus Impairment scale method and the double-stimulus continous quality scale method based on CCIR 500-5 were used as an evaluation method. The whole digital broadcasting satellite system consisting of MPEG-2 codec, system mux/demux, channel codec, channel, modem, antenna, etc. was put into the overall video quality testbed and the basic and transmission error quality assessment was performed at various bitrates and BER for an integrated system performance evaluation. In transmission error video quality testing, transmission error video quality maintained on average above 3.9 point on the 5-point scale. The low-bit rate quality such as film mode(@2Mbps) highly depended on the statitical characteristics of video source and maintained on average around 2.7 point.

In this paper, satellite data link waveform is proposed which is based on the waveform of Link-16 but LDPC code is studied instead of CCSK code in order to be optimized to satellite nonlinear channel environment and transmission characteristics. And the DSM (Demux, Selective CH switch, and Mux) transponder structure is suggested which can remove all of the jamming signal out of the transmission signal band and convert uplink hopping frequency to desired ones of downlink. The results of BER and anti-jamming performance analysis shows that the required Eb/No and processing gain in the worst case partial band jammer of the proposed waveform are 2.5dB and 52dB respectively and the anti-jamming capacity improvement of DSM transponder is maximum 2dB.

This paper presents a signal processing IC for digital HDTV, which is designed to operate in bunt-in HDW or in HD-set-top Box. The chip supports de-multiplexing an ISO/IEC 13818-1 MPEG-2 TS stream. It decodes MPEG-2 MP@HL video bitstream, and provides high-quality scaled video for display on HDTV monitor. The chip consists of ARM7TDMI for TS-Demux, PCI interface, Audio interface, MPEG2 MP@HL video decoder Display processor, Graphic processor, Memory controller, Audio int3face, Smart Card interface and UART. It is fabricated using Sam sung's 0.18-um and the package of 492-pin BGA is used.

The ultra-high definition television (UHDTV) has been considered as a next generation broadcsating service. However the conventional digital terrestrial transmission system cannot afford the required transmission data rate of UHDTV, and thus adopting ultra-high order constellation, such as 4096-QAM, into the conventional DTT systems has been studied. In particular, when the ultra-high order constellation is adopted into the digital video broadcasting-2nd generation terrestrial (DVB-T2) unequal-error protection (UEP) properties of a codeword of an error correction coding and ultra-high order constellations should be properly matched by bit mapper in order to enhance the decoding performance. Because long codeword results in a heavy computational complexity to design the bit mapper, the DVB-T2 divided it into cascaded blocks, the bit interleaver and the bit-to-cell DEMUX, and there have been many researches related to each block. However, there are few published study related to design methodology of bit interleaver. In this respect, this paper proposes a design methodology of the bit interleaver and presents bit interleavers of 1024-QAM and 4096-QAM according to the proposed design algorithm. The newly designed interleavers improved the decoding performance of the error correction coding by maximally 0.6 dB SNR over both of AWGN and random fading channel.
