When a cinema being composed of 24 frames/sec is converted to NTSC video or TV program, several fields we repeated to have 60 fields/sec, which is called the telecine or 3:2 pull-down. Hence, when encoding the telecine NTSC video into MPEG format, if we convert it into the original 24 frames/sec Progressive cinema, then we can save 20% of bits compared to the case of encoding all the 60 fields. In this Paper, we propose an algorithm for performing the inverse telecine by using the properties of the frames. Specifically, the algorithm exploits the fact that there Is much Inconsistency between the even and odd fields in the case of telecine frame, which results in high magnitude at the Nyquist frequency In the vertical direction. The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm performs very well regardless of the quality of video with a very few computations, whereas the conventional motion based method requires much computational complexity and its performance is degraded when the video is of low (eg. VHS) quality.

In a Single Frequency Network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using same frequency are unavoidable. To ease the interference handing in the SFN for ATSC DTV system, transmitter identification (TxID) signal is recommended in the ATSC terrestrial DTV system. The TxID signal is embedded in the ATSC DTV signal and transmitted from each transmitter and repeater within the SFN and in ATSC recommended practice (RP) A/111, Kasami sequence is recommended as the TxID signal. In this paper, we propose an additional data transmission scheme using the TxID signal. In the proposed scheme, the Kasami sequence not only acts as the conventional TxID of the SFN for ATSC terrestrial DTV system but also carriers the additional data bits on its polarity and the code phase.

Single frequency network (SFN) design based on the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) specification, a terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, normally causes a interference problem, among signals from multiple transmitters or repeaters. To solve this, the ATSC recommended practice (RP) introduces a transmitter identification (TxID) signal embedded in a signal from each transmitter or repeater. A TxID signal analyzer is then used to detect the TxID signal, and following the analysis results, a SFN design can be adjusted. This paper discusses the generation and usages of Kasami sequence, is used the TxID signal. The configuration of the TxID signal analyzer to efficiently detect TxID signal is proposed and the results of theoretical performance analysis are provided. Moreover, computer simulation and laboratory test results are provided to evaluate the performance of TxID signal analyzer and the theoretical performance analysis.

This paper describes the parasitic capacitance modeling according to the coil structure, section bobbin and winding method for hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance capable of the EMI attenuation of broad bands from lower frequency to higher frequency applied in the EMI attenuation filter of LED-TV SMPS. Especially, the hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance($C_p$) proposed in this paper can reduces the parasitic capacitance($C_p$) by adopting the winding methods of rectangular copper wire, compared to the conventional common mode choke coil with the winding method of automatic type. The first resonant frequency of the proposed hybrid choke coil has a tendency to increase as the parasitic capacitance is smaller and its impedance characteristics, especially in the high frequency bands, improves as the first resonant frequency increases. In the future, the proposed hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance shows it can be actually utilized in not only LED-TV SMPS but also various applications such as LED Lighting, Note-PC Adapter, and so forth.

In these days, interest of systems and services using TVWS(TV White Space) are increased, communication systems and services for TVWS have been actively studied. The unoccupied frequency in TVWS is different according to the geographical location and the time of day. RF systems having a frequency tunable bandpass filter operated in TVWS could be efficiently used. In this paper, a frequency tunable bandpass filter operated in 470 ~ 698MHz is designed and implemented. In consideration of simple control and physical size, the tunable bandpass filter is designed with 2-pole. The implemented tunable bandpass filter has the operating frequency band of 470 ~ 698MHz with control voltages of 1.58 ~ 3.93V, the insertion loss of maximum 4.78dB and the return loss of below 10dB. The implemented frequency tunable bandpass filter can be directly used in the RF receiver for TVWS and the design procedures could be used for developing a high power tunable bandpass filter as the basic research data.

In this paper, a design method for a compact broadband planar monopole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) is studied. The proposed broadband monopole is optimized for terrestrial digital television (DTV) reception. In order to achieve broadband characteristics, the monopole and ground conductor are gradually tapered. By loading slit pairs on both monopole and ground plane, the proposed antenna is miniaturized. The monopole is fed by a CPW with 75-ohm characteristic impedance on an FR4 substrate and its size is $100mm{\times}200mm$. The optimized monopole antenna for DTV band (470-806 MHz) is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.

For efficient utilization of spectrum resources in TV white space after DTV transition, FCC allowed usage of the spectrum for CR system. The CR system is required to cognize channel usage state for utilizing the unused spectrum in TV white space which coexists various primary and secondary systems. In the meantime, as a demand for high throughput communication had been increased recently, CR systems also consider to adopt channel bonding technology, thus spectrum sensing for channel bonded system is essentially required. In this paper, we propose a novel spectrum sensing algorithm for channel bonding system using a single channel receiver. For IEEE 802.l1af signal, the proposed algorithm provide detection probability of 90% with false alarm probability 10% at SNR -18dB for single channel system and at SNR -7dB for 8 channel bonded system, respectively. Utilizing the proposed scheme, we can detect channel bonded signal using only a single receiver, therefore system overhead for spectrum sensing can be reduced significantly.

A new high performance and low cost unified power system is proposed through investigating conventional Power-Integrated Drive(PID) system and Power-Separated Drive(PSD) system applied to LCD TV. Since the proposed system consists of two stage, namely power and inverter stage it features high efficiency and cost effectiveness. To satisfy the safety standard of the High voltage transformer, 1:1 transformer is employed between inverter and high voltage transformer. Moreover, to ensure the Zero Voltage Switching(ZVS) of all power switches and the Pulse Count Modulation(PCM) method is employed, which controls the number of pulse at the fixed frequency and fixed duty cycle. Therefore, it features high efficiency, improved heat generation, cost effectiveness and good EMI performance including no additional current balancing coil. To confirm the validity of proposed system, comparison of conventional system, verification of experimental results are presented.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm which makes the frequency of output signal synchronize with frequency of input signal in Equalization Digital On-channel Repeater (EDOCR) system which was proposed to overcome the disadvantage of conventional Digital On-Channel Repeater (DOCR). Also, we verify the algorithm by using the mathematical equivalent model and analysis the performance by implying the algorithm to EDOCR. The main idea is to use the frequency offset information, which comes from carrier recovery in the receiving part of EDOCR, when the demodulated symbol is re-modulated in transmitting part. Based on the proposed algorithm, EDOCR not only makes the output signal synchronized with input signal in frequency but also emit the output signal which satisfies the ATSC transmission standard without additional equipments such as Global Positioning System (GSP).
