This paper proposes a DTV receiver using beamforming techniques to improve indoor and mobile reception. The proposed DTV receiver estimates the directions of arrival (DOAs) of incoming signals using Capon's DOA estimation method and generates an adaptive antenna beam pattern to the estimated DOA of the mainpath signal to Improve the channel condition. After beamforming, a following decision feedback equalizer (DFE) removes the remaining multipath components. The proposed receiver can be implemented with a conventional DTV receiver without anymodification. The performance of the proposed receiver is analyzed with modified Brazilian field test models, which include DOA information of Incoming signals. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver can satisfy the threshold of visibility (TOV) when input signal to noise ratio is slightly over 10 dB.

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.

We introduce a high-definition three-dimensional television (3DTV) broadcasting system that is fully compatible with the existing transmission system of high-definition television (HDTV). Specifically, we developed high-definition 3DTV broadcasting subsystems including a 3DTV camera, 3DTV video multiplexer and demultiplexer, 3DTV receiver, and 3DTV outdoor broadcast van. To verify the developed subsystems, we performed experimental services of 3DTV broadcasting during the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. According to our subjective evaluation test, 88% of 273 viewers rated the perceived depth of 3DTV as “Good,” and 36% of the viewers preferred 3DTV to other digital broadcasting services.

Recently, The development of DTV receiver and the need of its additional services have been increased vastly. In this paper, we implement new closed caption engine for the deaf and hard of hearing person and languages studying on DTV receiver, The specification of domestic closed caption is almost adopted that of EIA-608A. In this paper, with fully following the specification, we will present how to implement functions of closed caption with new algorithm. the function includes paint-on, Pop-on, roll-up/down, etc. experimental results show that the proposed technique provides satisfactory performance on DTV receiver.

This paper introduces the HD 3DTV camera and 3DTV receiver that are compatible with the ATSC HDTV broadcasting system. The developed 3DTV camera is based on stereoscopic techniques, and it has control function to control both left and right zoom lens simultaneously and to control the vergence. Moreover, in order to control the vergence manually and to eliminate the synchronization problem of the both images, the 3DTV camera has the 3DTV video multiplexing function to combine the left and right images into the single image. The developed 3DTV signal, and it has the various analog/digital interfaces. The performance of the developed system is confirmed by shooting the selected soccer game in 2002 FIFA KOREA/JAPANTM World Cup and by broadcasting the match. The HD 3DTV camera and receiver will be applied to the 3DTV industries such as 3D movie, 3D game, 3D image processing, 3DTV broadcasting system, and so on.

In this paper, a design method is proposed for the reflection type phase shifter applied to the DTV(Digital TV) receiver, and a phase shifter is designed by using the design equations to satisfy the phase shifting range over 180 degrees for frequency range from 470 MHz to 860 MHz, the receiving band of DTV. From the proposed method, it is possible that the systematic design of the reflection type phase shifter with desired phase shifting range and insertion loss. In addition, it is found that the realized phase shifter satisfies the given specifications.

In general, channel information of received DTV signal analyzed based on symbol timing clock with only In-phase information in DTV receiver. This paper presents technical requirements of channel analysis system for DTV reception signal. In order to meet such requirements and measure more accurate magnitude and phase of channel information, compensation method for the quadrature information from measured in-phase data is proposed. The proposed channel analysis system is implemented with a commercial DTV chipset and provides fast data analysis with good connectivity with field test vehicles. Computer simulation and laboratory test results are provided to figure out the performance of the proposed channel analysis system for DTV signal.

In this paper, we propose the methodology of prediction of field strength for a digital television (DTV) receiver by virtue of Recommendation ITU-R P.1546. The curves shown in this recommendation represent the point-to area field strength for 1.0 kW effective radiated power in the 30 MHz ~ 3000 MHz. Based upon the procedures described in this Recommendation, computation results are presented here from the derived formulation of field strength for DTV receiver. To show the validity of this method, some results are compared with the analysis by Okumura-Hata model and it was shown that the error of field strength is in the range of 6.9 ~ 11.5 %. The presented method provides not only the predicted values of field strength for DTV receiving area to check the quality of transmitted signal, but also an appropriate site selection for obtaining good propagation environment. In addition, it can be directly used for analyzing the protection ratio or separated distance for frequency sharing in the same band.

ATSC is currently working on standardization of hybrid 3DTV broadcasting service in heterogenous network environment after completion of service-compatible 3DTV broadcasting service standard based on broadcasting channel. This paper proposes a convergence 3D video broadcasting method on broadcasting and IP network while guaranteeing a Full-HD 3D quality without degrading the image quality of legacy DTV. Specifically, this paper describes transmission of the 3D additional video using the ISO/IEC 23009-1 DASH, robust synchronization method under heterogenous network environments and system target decoder model for hybrid 3DTV receiver. Based on experimental results, we confirm that proposed technologies can be used as a core technology in the hybrid 3DTV standardization and a reference model for a development of hybrid 3DTV encoder and receiver.
