We analyze mathematically a VSB (vestigial side-band) transceiver system for the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) digital television standard and extract a near-baseband equivalent VSB channel model. This model shows the multi-path fading effect of the quadrature component on the in-phase component. Also, we obtain a simplified model of the VSB transceiver system, which is represented by convolution of the transmission signal (before modulation) and the VSB channel. This simplified model is efficiently used for simulation of VSB systems to improve its performances, especially in an equalization part. Applying the DTV channel specifications tested by the Advanced Television Test Conter (ATTC) to the channel model, we obtain an equivalent VSB channel and show the equalization result by using the conventional derision-feedback equalize (DFE).

In this paper, a design method for a broadband planar dipole antenna for terrestrial digital television (DTV) reception is studied. The dipole is modified to half bow-tie type for size reduction. The balun between feeding microstrip line and coplanar strip (CPS) line is implemented with a rectangular patch inserted along the center of the CPS line. The proposed antenna is the structure of dual resonances, one is due to the dipole and the other is due to the CPS line attached by the balun. The effects of various geometrical parameters on the antenna performance are examined, and the antenna is designed for terrestrial DTV band (470-806 MHz). The prototype antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of $95mm{\times}178mm$, and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.

The Digital TV(DTV) standard has ushered in a new era in TV broadcasting and raised a great demand for DTV tuners. There are many challenges in designing a DTV tuner, of which the most difficult part is the frequency synthesizer. This paper presents the design of a frequency synthesizer for DTV Tuners in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. It satisfies the DTV(ATSC) frequency band(54~806MHz). A scheme is proposed to cover the full band using only one VCO. The VCO has been designed to operate at 1.6~3.6GHz band such that the LO pulling effect is minimized, and reliable broadband characteristics have been achieved by reducing the variations of VCO gain and frequency step. The simulation results show that the designed VCO has gains of 59~94MHz(${\pm}$17.7MHz/V,${\pm}$23%) and frequency steps of 26~42.5MHz(${\pm}$8.25MHz/V,${\pm}$24%), and a very wide tuning range of 76.9%. The designed frequency synthesizer has a phase noise of -106dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset, and the lock time is less than $10{\mu}$sec. It consumes 20~23mA from a 1.8V supply, and the chip size including PADs is 2.0mm${\times}$1.8mm.

In this paper, a driving amplifier stage with 1 Watt output has been designed and fabricated, which is operating at UHF band( 470 ∼ 806 MHz) for digital TV repeater. In the driving amplifier stage, preamplifier and 1 Watt unit amplifier are integrated by one electric substrate which is 2.53 in dielectric constant and 0.8 mm thickness. When the driving amplifier stage is flown by bias voltage of 28 V DC and current of 900 mA. it has the gain of more than 53.5 dB. the gain flatness of $\pm$0.5 dB and return loss of less than -15 dB in 470 ∼ 806 MHz. Also, when two signals at 2 MHz frequency interval are input port into the driving amplifier stage with 1 Watt output, it resulted in excellent characteristics to designed specification with showing intermodulation distortion characteristics of more than 48 dBc.

A development scheme for reliable radio-wave Propagation model of digital television (DTV) service, adequate to the domestic environment, is proposed in this paper. Throughout the analysis of several ITU-R recommendations on propagation models in DTV band, ITU-R P.1546, which is based on experimental data, has been selected as our basic model. This model has been programmed, not only to be directly used for engineering analysis, such as frequency assignment, licensing, interference analysis, and sharing frequency bands, but also to be applied for development of a propagation model adequate to the specific environment. Furthermore, the procedure of developing domestic propagation model for DTV service, combined with experimental data which is now being obtained, has been described in this paper.

본 논문은 방송국으로부터 기준 시각을 전송 받은 DTV를 Network Time Server로 활용함으로써 가정, 사무실, 공장 내의 네트워크 기기들에 대한 시각동기를 맞추는데 목적이 있다. 기존의 옥내 네트워크 시스템에서 발생하는 시간의 불일치를 해소하기 위하여 GPS를 이용한 Common-View방식으로 방송국간의 시각동기를 맞추고 방송채널을 이용하여 모든 DTV와도 동기를 맞춘다. DTV는 옥내 시간관리 서버 또는 Network Time Server로서 역할을 수행하며, 건물 내 네트워크 장비에 대한 시각동기를 수행한다. 또한 시각동기를 개선시키기 위해서는 시각 정밀도를 향상시키는 알고리즘을- 적용할 도 있다. 이러한 시각동기를 이용하여 공장내 네트워크 시스템, 사무 자동화 시스템, DTV 기반 홈네트워킹 등의 응용에 적용될 수 있다.

TV businesses that have brought a competitive structure in terms of price, definition, product design for a long time now are bringing User eXperience (UX) into relief as DTVs come to support broadcast information-related services such as various broadcast channels and Electronic Program Guide(EPG), etc., and playing of multimedia contents like music/videos, etc. This study worked on an evaluation by developing a UI to control easily the various and complex broadcast contents or multimedia contents provided by DTVs. The UI Design for new DTVs was developed based on Function, Flow and Form in the concept of Single ABC (Access, Browser and Control), and the usability test of the developed UI concept along with the UIs of the major DTV products, was done for Channel Managers and the multimedia browsers for 32 users of DTVs in the U.K./U.S., respectively. As a result of the usability test, the new concept of Channel Manager was evaluated high both in the U.K./U.S, while the multimedia browser was evaluated low in the U.S., relatively.

A real-time digital holographic display is the core technology for the next-generation 3DTV. Holographic display requires a considerably large amount of calculation. If generating a large number of digital holograms is intended, the amount of calculation and the time required increase exponentially. This is a significant obstacle in a real-time hologram service. This paper proposes an algorithm that increases the speed of generating a Fresnel hologram by using a recursive addition operation covering the entire coordinate array of a digital hologram. The 3D object designed to calculate the digital hologram uses a depth-map image produced by computer graphics. The proposed algorithm is a technique that performs the computer-generated holography (CGH) operation with only recursive addition of all of the hologram's coordinates by analyzing the regularity between the 3D object and the digital hologram coordinates. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the operation speed by 70% over the technique using the conventional CGH equation and by more than 30% over the previously proposed recursive technique.
