This paper is about frequency allocation of LTE Base Station(BS) in the spare band which is generated by DTV transition. In the case of frequency allocation of LTE BS in adjacent band with DTV channel 51 among the spare band, the guard bands that requires for no interference between LTE and DTV system were calculated. As a result, 5.5 MHz of guard band for LTE BS and 2 MHz of guard band for DTV receiver were suggested based on interference analysis between LTE BS and DTV BS, respectively.

Korea has made a plan to allocate CH 14~CH 51 (470 MHz~698 MHz) for DTV. This paper assumes that DTV operates on CH 51 (692 MHz~698 MHz) and CDMA system operates on CH 52 (698 MHz~704 MHz) in spare band. Minimum Coupling Loss (MCL) method to get protection distance and Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) to get guard band through 5 % interference probability are used. The protection distance is required to be 665.67 km at close frequency offset of 698.625 MHz between DTV transmitter and CDMA Base Station (BS) receiver. The required guard band between DTV transmitter and CDMA Mobile Station (MS) receiver is 5 MHz for the worst case of rural environment. There is no serious impact between CDMA MS transmitter and DTV receiver. The required guard band between CDMA BS transmitter and DTV receiver is 6.25 MHz for the worst case of urban environment. The analysis results may offer a reference and be helpful for considering interference between DTV and other communication systems.

1997년 11월, 정보통신부가 우리나라의 지상파 DTV방식을 결정함에 따라 한국전자 통신연구원에서는 1998년부터 지상파 DTV송수신 시스템 기술을 본격개발하기 시작하여 1999년 6월 관악산에서 DTV 시험송출을 실시하게 된 바 있다. 이러한 국내 연구개발로 전 량 수입에 의존하던 방송송신 시스템을 완전 국산화할 수 있게 되었으며 이로써 방송 3사가 실시중인 서울지역의 실험방송 송신기를 제외하고는 모든 송신기와 중계기를 경쟁력 있는 국내 제품으로 공급할 수 있는 기회를 갖게 되었다. 개발되고 있는 중계기 기술에는 재생중 계기능, 동일채널 중계기능 등이 적용되고 있으며, 국내 방송환경에 적합한 기술기준을 시험 하고 설정할 수 있는 실험실내 시험장치 역시 포함되어 외국에 의존하지 않고 독자적인 기 술기준의 설정과 적용이 가능하게 되었다. 이와 같이 DTV신호의 송출에 필요한 기술과 시 스템 외에도 DTV 환경에 적용될 양방향 데이터 방송기술, 스튜디오내 편집/제작기술 등이 병행하여 개발되고 있으나 지면상 본고에서는 현재 상용화가 가능한 정도로 개발이 진행된 송출분양의 관련 기술 개발내용을 간략히 소개하고자 한다.

When we implement the single frequency network (SFN) in ATSC terrestrial DTV system, there is an interference problem to DTV receivers due to the use of same frequency channel among transmitters and repeaters. To resolve this problem, it is recommended to adopt the transmitter identification signals in transmitting equipments. In this paper, we analyzed the influence suffered by legacy DTV receivers when the TxID signal is added to the DTV transmitting signals and the results were further verified by computer simulation, laboratory test and field test. The above tests show that if the TxID signal is added to the level of -30dB compared to the original DTV signal, the TOV(Threshold Of Visibility) increment in legacy receivers is about 0.17 dB. It means that we can insert and transmit the TxID signal in ATSC terrestrial DTV system without making the negative effect to the legacy DTV receivers.

A novel pre-equalization method for terrestrial DTV transmitters is presented. A pre-equalizer has been used in transmitters to correct group delay and amplitude distortions caused by a channel filter. In the proposed pre-equalizer, an equation-error adaptive IIR filtering scheme is adopted unlike the conventional pre-equalization using FIR filtering schemes. The pole-zero modelling property of IIR filters improves the signal-to-noise ratio and may deal with diverse linear distortions existing in DTV transmitters as well as the channel filter distortion. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR pre-equalizer performs better than the FIR pre-equalizer in terms of the residual mean-square error.

In a Single Frequency Network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using same frequency are unavoidable. To ease the interference handing in the SFN for ATSC DTV system, transmitter identification (TxID) signal is recommended in the ATSC terrestrial DTV system. The TxID signal is embedded in the ATSC DTV signal and transmitted from each transmitter and repeater within the SFN and in ATSC recommended practice (RP) A/111, Kasami sequence is recommended as the TxID signal. In this paper, we propose an additional data transmission scheme using the TxID signal. In the proposed scheme, the Kasami sequence not only acts as the conventional TxID of the SFN for ATSC terrestrial DTV system but also carriers the additional data bits on its polarity and the code phase.

In a single frequency network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using the same frequency are inevitable. Since the presence of interferences results in performance degradation of the SFN, it is crucial to manipulate the interferences by adjusting the transmit power and timing of each transmitter and repeater. In the ATSC terrestrial DTV system, in order to facilitate the interference manipulation process, a transmitter identification (TxID) signal which is uniquely embedded in the signal to be transmitted from each transmitter and repeater is recommended. Even though the injection level of the TxID signal is much lower than the DTV signal, the TxID signal injection infects the DTV signal. Hence, the effect of the TxID signal on the DTV signal must be investigated before deployment. In this paper, the effect of the TxID signal on the performance of legacy DTV receivers under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath channel environments is investigated not only with computer simulation but also with laboratory and field tests. The test results show that the average threshold of visibility degradation of the legacy DTV receivers due to the TxID signal injection is less than 0.2 dB at the TxID injection level of -30 dB.

ATSC 방식의 지상파 디지털 TV 방송에서는 단일 주파수 망 구성 시 송신기들과 중계기들이 단일 주파수를 사용함에 따라 수신기에서 간섭 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 ATSC 권고에서는 각 송신기 및 중계기에 RF Watermark 방식의 식별 (TxID: Transmitter Identification) 신호를 할당하여 송신 및 중계 신호에 부가하여 전송하도록 권고하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 DTV 신호에 부가되어 전송되는 RF Watermark 방식의 TxID 신호가 상용 DTV 수신기에 미치는 영향을 분산주파수망을 이용하여 실제 필드 테스트를 통해 살펴본다.
