In order to fill the gaps in DTV coverage, KBS Technical Research Institute has researched on DTV on-channel repeating systems as well as DTV translators. The on-channel repeater can reuse frequency resources for expanding service coverage. but it has also many restricts in applications for ATSC DTV system. Thiss Paper compares two kinds of DTV on-channel repealer systems and also presents field test results of both systems. From these results, we Infer their characteristics and summarize the conditions and possibilities of the application for our broadcasting networks.

Currently, 3DTV technologies are being developed as the future services of the HD digital broadcast environment. As one of the various research topics to apply 3DTV technologies to the conventional broadcasting network, methods to configure stereoscopic videos are being studied. In this paper, we proposed a method to broadcast high quality stereoscopic videos based on analysis of a method to add a stereoscopic descriptor to the PMT of MPEG-2 transport streams and a method to transmit stereoscopic videos by the expansion of MPEG-C part 3 which are from precedent studies. The proposed technique maintains compatibility with conventional MPEG-2 transport streams by showing only reference video for models that do not support 3D broadcasting. Therefore, the compatibility between conventional broadcasting and stereoscopic videos should make this method useful when activating 3D services in the communications and broadcasting area

In this paper, the measurement data is analyzed and channel characteristics are derived through MIMO Channel measurements at 781MHz considering antenna correlation. 781MHz frequency band currently operates the DTV system, however, it will be allocated new mobile communication frequency band. The channel characteristics at 781MHz seem to be similar existing mobile communication system at 900MHz but quite a different part of the existing research has demonstrated. In addition, the signal procedure of the channel characteristics, considering the correlation of the antenna, for a more accurate prediction research is needed. To avoid interference with Korean DTV broadcasting, we measured channel characteristics in urban areas of Jeju island by channel sounder and $4{\times}4$ antenna. Channel characteristics with antenna correlation were derived based on the measured data in the urban area.

In this paper we propose Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques for the Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater(EDOCR) in the ATSC digital TV (DTV) System. DSP techniques consist of demodulation. baseband equalization, and remodulation. Since the time delay caused by signal processing in the EDOCR can seriously affect the performance of ATSC legacy receivers, it is required that the processing time should be minimized as much as possible. To achieve this goal, we focus on the reduction of the EDOCR's time delay with the minimization of its performance degradation. In addition, we present recommended proper parameters for hardware implementation based on extensive simulation result.

본 논문에서는 좌우 해상도가 서로 다른 융합형 3DTV 시스템에서 합성된 3D 영상의 화질을 개선하는 방법인 조건부 대체 알고리듬에 적용하기 위한 비트율 제어기법을 제안한다. 조건부 대체 알고리듬에서는 쿼드트리 형태의 가변크기 블록마다 좌우 영상간의 양안시차 정보를 활용하되, 이 정보의 전송을 위해서 부가적인 대역폭이 요구되기 때문에 전송 대역폭의 상황에 따라 부가 정보의 양을 효율적으로 조절할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 비용함수를 정의하고 가중치를 적용하여 최적의 모드를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다.

서로 다른 해상도의 좌, 우 영상으로 구성된 3DTV 시스템에서는 낮은 화질의 영상을 높은 화질의 해상도로 확대하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 3종류의 보간기법을 실험 대상으로 하였으며 부호화기 및 부호화기에 각각 적용한 경우의 PSNR을 기준으로 성능을 분석하였다. 3종류의 보간 기법 중 SVC의 normative upsampling(JVT-R006) 보간기법의 성능이 우수함을 확인 하였다.

In Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) systems, additional very low-rate data can be transmitted by modulating the amplitude and polarity of the transmitter identification (TxID) signal. Although the additional data transmission scheme offers reliable transmission and has a very large coverage area, it has a limitation on the data rate. In this paper, we propose a novel additional data transmission scheme based on the TxID sequences of the ATSC DTV system and Walsh modulation. The proposed scheme not only increases the data rate significantly, but also offers a virtually identical coverage area compared to a conventional scheme.

This paper addresses the stereoscopic 3D broadcasting technology that delivers the 3DTV contents through the digital cable networks. In order to convey the 3D contents via DCA TV network, specifications of 3D video format, compression, multiplexing, signalling and transport are to be developed. Since 3D has some constraints unlike 2D, it is required to be well designed by considering the capacity of the additional view and the backward/forward compatibility. This paper goes with the latest trends of 3D standard, requirements and service scenarios and then covers the 3D format, compression, multiplexing and signaling, service information and transport/reception technologies.
