This work presents a low complexity maximum-likelihood decoder for signal detection in VBLAST-STBC system, which employs non-square O-STBC code rate 3/4. Stacking received symbols from different symbol duration and applying QR decomposition result in the special format of upper triangular matrix R so that the proposed decoder is able to provide not only ML-like BER performance but also very low computational load. The low computational load and ML-like BER performance properties of the proposed decoder are verified by computer simulations.

By combining the space-time diversity technique and iterative turbo codes, space-time turbo codes(STTCS) are able to provide powerful error correction capability. However, the multi-path transmission and iterative decoding structure of STTCS make the decoder very complex. In this paper, we propose a low complexity decoder, which can be used to decode STTCS as well as general iterative codes such as turbo codes. The efficient implementation of the backward recursion and the log-likelihood ratio(LLR) update in the proposed algorithm improves the computational efficiency. In addition, if we approximate the calculation of the joint LLR by using the approximate ratio(AR) algorithm, the computational complexity can be reduced even further. A complexity analysis and computer simulations over the Rayleigh fading channel show that the proposed algorithm necessitates less than 40% of the additions required by the conventional Max-Log-MAP algorithm, while providing the same overall performance.

In this paper, we proposed the receive decoder and Virterbi algorithm with sliding multiple symbol detection using MLSE. the informationis transmitted by the phase difference of the adjacent channel signal at the .pi./4 shift QPSK. In order to apply the .pi./4 shift QPSK to TCM, we use the signal set expansion and the signal set partition by the phase differences. And the Viterbi decoder containing branch mertrice of the squared Euclidean distance of the first, second and Lth order phase difference is introduced in order to extract the information in the differential detection of the Trellis-Coded .pi./4 shift QPSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder and receiver are conceptually same to the sliding multiple symbol detection method using the MLSE. By uisng this method, the study shows that the Trellis-Coded .pi./4 shift QPSK is an attractive scheme for the power and the bandimited systems while also improving the BER performance when the Viterbi decoder is employed to the Lth order phase difference metrics.

This paper presents a system-on-a-chip (SOC) design for digital TV. The single LSI incorporates almost all essential parts such as CPU, ISO/IEC 11172/13818 system/audio/video decoders, a video post-processor, a graphics/OSD processor and a display processor. It has analog IP's inside such as video DACs, an audio PLL, and a system PLL to reduce the system-level implementation cost. Descramblers and Smart Card interface are included to support widely used conditional access systems. The video decoder can decode two video streams simultaneously. The DSP-based audio decoder can process various audio coding specifications. The functional blocks for video quality enhancement also form outstanding features of this SoC. The SoC supports world-wide major DTV services including ATSC, ARIB, DVB, and DIRECTV.

A parallel analog Viterbi decoder which decodes PR (1,2,2,1) signal of optical disc has been fabricated into chip. The proposed parallel analog Viterbi decoder implements the functions of the conventional digital Viterbi decoder utilizing the analog parallel processing circuits. In this paper, the analog parallel Viterbi decoding technology is applied for the PR signal. The benefit of analog processing is the low power consumption and the less silicon consumption. The test results of the fabricated chip are reported in this paper.

In this paper, an area-efficient degree-computationless modified Euclidean (DCME) algorithm is presented and implemented for high-speed Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder. The DCME algorithm can be used to solve the key equation in Reed-Solomon decoder to get the error location polynomial and the error value polynomial. A pipelined recursive structure is adopted for reducing the area of key equation solver (KES) block with sacrifice of an amount of decoding latency. For comparisons, KES block for RS(255,239,8) decoder with the proposed architecture is implemented using Verilog HDL and synthesized using Synopsys design tool and 65nm CMOS technology. The synthesis results show that the proposed architecture can be implemented with less gate counts than other existing DCME architectures.

본 논문에서는 DVB-S2 표준안에서 권고되고 있는 irregular LDPC 부호의 다양한 부호화율에서 부호화 방식 및 복호화 방식에 대해 살펴보고 이에 대한 성능분석을 하였다. 또한 이의 구현에 있어서 효율적인 메모리 할당 및 이에 따른 구현 방법에 대해 연구하였다. LDPC 복호기를 구현하는 방안에는 직렬, 부분병렬, 완전병렬 방식이 있으며, 부분병렬방식이 하드웨어 복잡도와 복호속도를 절충하는 방안이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 부분병렬 구조를 기반으로 하는 LDPC 복호기의 메모리 설계에서 효율적인 체크노드, 비트노드, LLR 메모리의 구조를 제안하고저 한다.
