본 논문에서는 이동 환경에서 지상파DTV의 Delay Profile의 도출을 위하여 이동 상태에서 필드테스트로 측정된 수신데이터에 포함되어 있는 PN 511(Psuedo Noise)코드를 이용하여 다양한 이동환경에서의 ACF(Auto Correlation Function)값을 도출하였다. 또한, 지역별 대표적인 LOS지역, NLOS지역, 중간지역으로 구분되는 대표적인 세 곳을 선정하여 다양한 이동속도에서의 도출된 ACF값을 통해 최대지연, 평균지연, RMS 지연을 도출하여 이동환경에서의 지상파 DTV의 Delay Profile을 제시하였다.

Cognitive radio (CR), which is proposed as a technology that utilizes the frequency resources effectively, has studied to relive scarcity of the frequency resources. Also, FCC revises the regulation to reuse the TV white spaces for applying CR system and allows to use the TV white spaces by CR devices and use of CR device may be regularized after conversion by DTV in 2009. If CR system's signal appeared in pilot's position, pilot sensing performs false alarm detection because pilot sensing scheme confuse DTV signal and CR system. In order to improve false alarm detection, we propose distinction scheme between DTV and CR system using PN511 sequence in this paper.

In this paper a new technique to generate spreading code sequences in the CDMA communication is introduced. It is an effective method to generate optimal code sequences using the orthogonality of wavelet packet basis set of subspaces. With a three-stage Quadrature Mirror Filter(QMF), generation of optimal code sequences has been demonstrated. Since these generated optimal code sequences are non-binary and have an arbitrary waveform which is different from that of the conventional PN-based Gold code sequences, a strong security against the intended interceptor is feasible. Encouraging good correlation properties are also achieved with this new method.

We propose a switched beamforming to improve the reception performance of VSB system in severe Rayleigh fading channel. The VSB system has only about 3% of known training signal for the receiver in a data field and the reception performance of VSB receiver is degraded significantly when there are near-0 dB ghosts in receiving signal. The switched beamforming forms several beams in different directions and selects only one beam among them. For the selection of a beam with best channel condition for VSB equalizer, we extracted the channel profiles in time domain for all the beams by correlating the PN511 sequence in VSB field sync and selected optimal beam by comparing the channel profiles. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the reception performance of VSB system in severe Rayleigh channel.

Recently, many research initiatives have been underway to improve reception performance of ATSC based DTV signal in mobile channel by adopting multiple antennas. In this paper, we propose a new mobile channel model which can be applicable to any array geometry. And then we propose new channel estimation algorithm which uses PN5l1 sequence in field synch. The proposed algorithm is to estimate channel by correlating the input signal in If frequency band and finding maximum peak, which does not need complicated synchronization circuit. Finally, we propose new receiver structures which can be implemented at the front-end of the existing receiver with no modification. With computer simulation, we verify the performance of the proposed model and verify the performance of the receiver structure with computer simulation.

ATSC terrestrial DTV system can support high data rates for HDTV(High Definition Television) service, but it suffers from significant performance degradation caused by multipath fading. Thus, it is necessary to analyze multipath fading effects in order to enhance the DTV reception performance. Generally, DTV channel profile can be obtained by auto-correlation between reference pseudo random signal and received DTV signal. However, in the ATSC terrestrial DTV system, the estimation performance of DTV channel profile may be decreased due to the VSB modulation features. In this paper, improved DTV channel profile measurement technique is analyzed and proposed.
