비약적으로 발전하고 있는 디지털 기술을 이용하여 유럽과 미국 등 선진국에서는 지상파를 이용한 HDTV 서비스 개시를 서두르고 있다. 따라서, 국내에서도 지상파 디지털 TV 방송 일정을 서두르고 있으며, 이때 서비스 영역 및 간섭 계산에 필수적인 보호비 기준에 대해 미국과 캐나다의 경우를 비교하고, 양국 기준 사이의 차이점을 분석하였다.

The contents provided by the terrestrial broadcasters have governed the market based on their excellent quality in Korea. In spite of the launching of various pay TV services focusing on multi-channel, it is not yet easy to find out the substitutionary pay TV channels for the terrestrial. Therefore, the real time retransmission of the terrestrial channels brings about the crucial effects on the pay TV's competency, especially on the new media as the invisible barrier. So it is frequently proposed to change the aim of the retransmission policy from the universal access to the promotion of media industries. The retransmission can be divided into two types as the must carry and retransmission consent. In Korean situation, keeping or reducing the must carry channel would be appropriate rather than expanding them. However, periodic investigation into the public effects of the must carry is necessary, instead of it. Moreover, the rational and fair monetary compensation for the commercial channels(MBC, SBS, KBS2) is arising as the bottle neck in the retransmission agreements between the broadcasters. The conjoint analysis was carried out to estimate the welfare growth from the retransmission, based on the stated preference from the audiences' point of view. For must carry channels, it was certified as the 'win-win' strategy for both sides and audiences. For the commercial channels, it is revealed to be beneficial to the audiences. Thereafter, the standards for the rational price were suggested to promote the retransmission. This can contribute for inspiring the dynamic vitality to the media industry by reinforcing the contents competencies and for establishing the long term growth strategies.

Increasing demand for realistic media and improvement of transmission and device techniques accelerate ultra-high definition(UHD) service realization. In Korea, the cable TV broadcasting companies are planning to commercialize in Apr. 2014. For the terrestrial TV broadcasting service, technical issues are considered for the specification of UHD broadcasting system. However, the frequency bands and the system bandwidth for the terrestrial UHD broadcasting system have not been decided. In this paper, we propose required spectrum bandwidth for the next-generation terrestrial broadcasting service considering source coding, error correcting codes and modulation techniques. Also, we propose frequency management plan for terrestrial UHD broadcasting system in which we divide all parts of the country into 9 frequency zones and allocate 4 frequency band to each frequency zone considering single frequency network (SFN).

지상파 UHD 방송은 2017년 세계 최초로 본방송이 시작되었고 2018년 평창 올림픽과 러시아 월드컵을 지상파 UHD 방송으로 중계하면서 성장해 왔다. 그런데 최근 급변하는 미디어 기술과 코로나 19 팬데믹 이후 미디어 시장이 요동치며 미디어 이용 플랫폼과 콘텐츠 그리고 미디어 이용 기기별 사용 시간에도 많은 변화가 생기고 있다. 이에 따라 지난 2017년 본 방송 이후 지상파 UHD 방송에 대한 시청자들의 이용 실태 및 인식 변화에 대한 조사의 필요성이 대두하게 됐다. UHD KOREA와 KBS 공영미디어 연구소는 UHD 방송에 대한 인지도와 시청의향, TV 크기의 변화, TV와 인터넷 연결 여부 등 미디어 환경변화에 따른 시청자의 미디어 이용 형태를 공동으로 조사했다. 그리고 지상파 UHD 방송의 추가 서비스의 선호도와 선호 콘텐츠, OTT 이용 여부 등에 대하여도 분석했다. 지상파 UHD 방송은 고화질, 다채널, 모바일, 재난방송, 양방향 서비스 등 ATSC 3.0 기술을 기반으로 다양한 최신 서비스를 제공하는 것이 가능하다. 이러한 조사 결과는 향후 지상파 UHD 방송 및 미디어 정책의 수립과 추진의 기초 자료로 활용될 것이다.

In Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) systems, additional very low-rate data can be transmitted by modulating the amplitude and polarity of the transmitter identification (TxID) signal. Although the additional data transmission scheme offers reliable transmission and has a very large coverage area, it has a limitation on the data rate. In this paper, we propose a novel additional data transmission scheme based on the TxID sequences of the ATSC DTV system and Walsh modulation. The proposed scheme not only increases the data rate significantly, but also offers a virtually identical coverage area compared to a conventional scheme.

In Japan, the specification for digital terrestrial television broadcasting systems has been approved for employing a transmission scheme for ISDB-T, which can accommodate HDTV service and portable mobile reception by adapting segmentation of frequency. In this paper, we have developed 3.5 inch mobile TV according to One-Seg system and presented the results of our development. In addition, we introduce two diversity schemes to compensate the defect that signal is interrupted when the portable TV is moving fast. In order to achieve a reliable communication in One-Seg system, we introduce STD(space time diversity) which uses more than 2 antennas at TX and cooperative reception diversity which utilizes signal-exchanging between different mobile terminals. And, its performance enhancements to reception reliability of previous system are evaluated by computer simulations.

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.

In this paper, a design method for a planar dipole pair antenna for an operation in the frequency band of 470-806 MHz for terrestrial indoor digital TV (DTV) is studied. The proposed antenna is composed of two planar dipoles connected through conducting strips, and the antenna is fed by a microstrip line. By employing different lengths of dipoles, a broadband characteristics is obtained, and the antenna is size-reduced by bending both ends of the longer dipole. The effects of design parameters on the antenna performance are examined by simulation, and the parameters are adjusted for terrestrial DTV band use. A prototype of the antenna for indoor DTV reception is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of $240mm{\times}139.5mm$ and tested experimentally. The experiment results show that the frequency band for a VSWR < 2 ranges 458-864 MHz(61.4%), and it corresponds fairly well with the simulated band of 448-868 MHz(63.8%).

자동차의 전기차로의 전환과 더불어 IT 기술이 접목된 자율주행기술이 빠르게 발전하고 있으며, 현대기아자동차 그룹을 비롯한 글로벌 완성차 제조사 및 애플, LG 등과 같은 IT 제조사간에 완성도 높은 자율주행차 개발에 치열한 경쟁이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 사람의 개입이 거의 없는 4단계 이상의 자율주행 기술이 적용된 자율주행차는 운전석이 없는 등 기존과는 매우 다른 실내 구조를 가질 것으로 예상되며, 사람에게 움직이는 생활공간을 제공할 것으로 기대된다. 이와 같은 자율주행차 내의 미디어 소비는 고화질 미디어를 대형 화면으로 볼 것으로 예상되며, 지상파 TV 방송은 미디어를 단방향으로 대용량 전송하는데 유리하여 자율주행차를 대상으로 미디어 서비스에 적용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문은 이러한 미래 자율주행차가 제공하는 움직이는 생활공간에서 TV를 시청하는 '이동TV'를 염두에 두고, 현재의 4K-UHDTV 시대 및 미래의 8K/Post-8K 시대의 비용 효과적인 지상파 TV 방송망 기술을 소개한다.
