A multiband meandered monopole antenna is proposed for digital video broadcasting handheld (DVB-H), global positioning system, personal communications service, wireless broadband (Wibro), and wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna consists of a meandered line, a shorted length strip line, and a conductor strip between a meandered line and a microstrip feed line. By tuning a short strip and a conductor, a multiband impedance matching is achieved. The proposed antenna has an omnidirectional radiation and yields an antenna gain of greater than -3 dBi in the DVB-H band and 4.5 dBi in the Wibro and WLAN bands. Details of the proposed antenna design and experimental results are presented.

In this paper, a low power, small area cyclic time-to-digital converter in All-Digital PLL for DVB-S2 application is presented. Coarse and fine TDC stages in the two-step TDC are shared to reduce the area and the current consumption maintaining the resolution since the area of the TDC is dominant in the ADPLL. It is implemented in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process with a die area of 0.12 $mm^2$. The power consumption is 2.4 mW at a 1.2 V supply voltage. Furthermore, the resolution and input frequency of the TDC are 5 ps and 25 MHz, respectively.

최근 디지털방송의 화두는 단연 UHD 이다. 케이블방송, 위성방송, IPTV 등 유료방송을 중심으로 2014년부터 UHD 방송 상용서비스 경쟁이 본격화 되었다. 지상파에서도 2009년 9월 표준 제정된 DVB-T2를 기반으로 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)을 적용한 실험방송이 진행되고 있으며, ATSC에서는 HEVC를 적용하여 UHD 방송의 고정수신과 HD 방송의 이동수신 동시서비스를 목표로 ATSC 3.0 표준화가 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 특히, ATSC 3.0 표준화는 국내 가전사와 ETRI가 주도하고 있으며, 유럽의 DVB와 중국의 NERC-DTV, 일본의 NHK, Sony 등도 참여하고 있는 등 전 세계 방송 관련 기관들로부터 차세대 지상파 방송표준으로 주목을 받고 있다. 본고에서는 지상파 UHD 고정수신 및 이동방송서비스 관련 기술개발과 표준화 동향을 살펴보고, 최근 ATSC 3.0에서 주목받고 있는 LDM(Layered Division Multiplexing) 기술의 장점 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

디지털방송은 다수의 채널 공급을 가능하게 하는데, 이러한 다채널 환경에서는 각 채널로 일일이 전환하지 않고도 어느 채널에 어떤 정보가 방송되고 있는지를 일목요연하게 파악 할 수 있는 전자 프로그램 가이드(EPG : Electronic Program Guide)가 필연적으로 요구된다. 본 논문은 EPG의 한 구현방법으로서 방송을 통해 TV에 전달되어 실행되는 Downloadable EPG를 설명하고 우리나라 디지털 위성방송 표준인 DVB-MHP규약을 따르는 구현방법과 구현결과를 기술하였다. 본 논문은 데이터 방송과 EPG의 구현에 관련된 참고 기술자료가 미비한 현실에서 디지털 방송의 EPG 개발자들이나 응용프로그램(application) 개발자들이 DVB-MHP 규약에 따라 다양한 종류의 EPG를 개발하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

In this paper an adaptive channel estimator is proposed and investigated which improves the receiving performance for the DVB-T system. A conventional estimator for the system consists of a two-dimensional Wiener filter which is implemented as a cascade of one-dimensional filters, and the filter is operating with the filter coefficients set which is selected from the four different sets according to the channel environment. Our proposed estimator uses the filter coefficients which is interpolated by the two closest coefficients sets. The proposed scheme shows an improvement of 5 to 10dB in SNR compared to the conventional scheme.

The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chloromethyl styrene (dangerous matter) 1, 4-divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1%, 5%, and 15%-crosslinked and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand type by copolymerization method and the adsorption of uranium(VI), cobalt(II) and europium(III) ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The correlation between the adsorption characteristics of rare earths and transition metal on the resins and stability constants of complexes with macrocyclic ligand have been examined. The uranium ion was not adsorbed on the resins below pH 2.0, but the power of adsorption of uranium ion increased rapidly above pH 3.0. The adsorption power was in the order of 1%, 5% and 15%-crosslinked resin, but adsorptive characteristics of resins decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constants of solvents.

This paper presents an accurate recovery method of the reference clock which is needed for network synchronization in two-way satellite multimedia systems compliant with DVB-RCS specification and which use closed loop method for burst synchronization. In these systems, the remote station transmits TDMA burst via return link. For burst synchronization, it obtains reference clock from program clock reference (PCR) defined by MPEG-2 system specification. The PCR is generated periodically at the hub system by sampling system clock which runs at 27MHz $\pm$ 30ppm. Since the reference clock is recovered by means of digital PLL(DPLL) using imprecise PCR values due to variable random jitter, the recovered clock frequency of remote station doesn't exactly match reference clock of hub station. We propose a robust recovery method of reference clock against random delay jitter The simulation results show that the recovery error is remarkably decreased from 5 clocks to 1 clock of 27MHz relative to the general DPLL recovery method.

This paper proposes the high speed LDPC decoder structure base on the DVB-S2. Firstly, We study the solution to avoid the memory conflict. For the high speed decoding process the decoder adapts the HSS(Horizontal Shuffle Scheduling) scheme. Secondly, for the high speed decoding algorithm normalized Min-Sum algorithm is adapted instead of Sum-Product algorithm. And the self corrected is a variant of the LDPC decoding that sets the reliability of a Mc${\rightarrow}$v message to 0 if there is an inconsistency between the signs of the current incoming messages Mv'${\rightarrow}$c and the sign of the previous incoming messages Moldv'${\rightarrow}$c This self-corrected algorithm avoids the propagation on unreliable information in the Tanner graph and thus, helps the convergence of the decoder.Start after striking space key 2 times. Lastly, and this paper propose the optimal hardware architecture supporting the high speed throughput.

By recent development of wired and wireless communication technology, any service can be delivered through broadcasting networks or communication networks. So contents consumers want to receive broadcasting program via any accessible network. Network independent broadcasting system can receive optimized multimedia contents by combining the high-quality multimedia contents transmitted through broadcasting network and the additional contents delivered through communication network. Additional contents can be other multimedia contents, URL of contents, some texts for indicating information of received multimedia, etc. Network independent broadcasting system is in early stage of development, and receivers and the monitoring system for hybrid broadcast are under development. Thus the multiplexing method and demultiplexing method to perform hybrid broadcasting is on study. In this paper, we designed the demultiplexing algorithm to perform hybrid broadcasting system and implemented demultiplexer system based on modulator interface system standard T2-MI of DVB-T2.
