    摘要: Adaptive equalizers for digital TV receivers in which the filter parameters are adjusted by decision-feedback are followed in cascade by filters for suppressing unwanted demodulation artifacts of NTSC co-channel interference. The decision-feedback signals are derived from the responses of the filters for suppressing unwanted demodulation artifacts of NTSC co-channel interference. This avoids erroneous adjustments of the filter parameters of the adaptive equalizers that results when the decision-feedback signals are accompanied by demodulation artifacts of carrier components of the NTSC co-channel interference.

    摘要: The tuner in a digital TV receiver converts received signal to a penultimate intermediate-frequency signal. Penultimate local oscillations are supplied in a first phasing and in a second phasing in quadrature therewith, for heterodyning with the penultimate IF signal in first and second mixers respectively to generate real and imaginary components of an ultimate intermediate-frequency signal. The first and second mixers are of a switching type, switching in respective response to the penultimate local oscillations as supplied in first and in second phasing. First analog-to-digital conversion circuitry containing a number N of analog-to-digital converters digitizes the real component of the ultimate IF signal on an N-phase basis, N being at least one. Second analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, which contains a number N of analog-to-digital converters, digitizes the imaginary component of the ultimate IF signal on an N-phase basis. A complex digital carrier signal is generated at the frequency of the radio carrier wave as translated to the ultimate IF signal band. Synchrodyning circuitry responds to the complex digital carrier signal supplied as ultimate local oscillations, and to the digital samples of the real and imaginary components of the ultimate IF signal, for recovering in-phase and quadrature-phase components of baseband signal.

    摘要: Radio receivers for receiving DTV signals, in accordance with the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard, or analog TV, in accordance with the National Television Sub-Committee (NTSC) standard, each use a single first detector for both types of signal. This single first detector supplies its output signals to an intermediate-frequency amplifier chain for TV signals and to another intermediate-frequency amplifier chain for analog TV signals. The response of the IF amplifier chain for DTV signals is synchrodyned to baseband, supplied to symbol decoding circuitry, and used by first automatic gain control circuitry to develop AGC for amplifier stages in that IF amplifier chain when DTV signals are received. The response of the IF amplifier chain for analog TV signals is supplied to a video detector, and second automatic gain control circuitry develops AGC for amplifier stages in that IF amplifier chain from the composite video signal reproduced by the video detector when analog TV signals are received. In some of the radio receivers the sound carrier of the NTSC signal has a separate, further intermediate-frequency amplifier chain. The absence of 4.5 MHz intercarrier sound is detected when DTV signals are received to automatically fine tune the first detector in response to pilot carrier and to obtain delayed AGC for the radio-frequency amplifier from the first AGC circuitry. The presence of intercarrier sound is detected when analog TV signals are received, to automatically fine tune the first detector in response to video carrier and to obtain delayed AGC for the radio-frequency amplifier from the second AGC circuitry.

    摘要: A method for detecting when a digital television signal is accompanied by co-channel interfering NTSC signal of substantial amplitude is described for use in a digital television receiver. The video portion of any co-channel interfering NTSC signal is synchrodyned to baseband, for generating an in-phase demodulation result including first artifacts of the digital television signal, and for generating a quadrature-phase demodulation result including second artifacts of the digital television signal. The quadrature-phase demodulation results are phase shifted by 90.degree. at frequencies in a prescribed frequency range before being linearly combined with the in-phase quadrature-phase demodulation results, to generate a linear combining result substantially free of the first and second artifacts of the digital television signal in the prescribed frequency range. An indication that the digital television signal is accompanied by co-channel interfering NTSC signal of substantial amplitude is generated by detecting whenever the amplitude of the linear combining result exceeds a prescribed value.

    摘要: A video signal receiver with reduced sensitivity to interference from co-channel digital TV signals includes circuitry for selecting a vestigial sideband amplitude-modulation signal descriptive of a video signal, converting the selected VSB AM signal to an intermediate frequency signal, and amplifying the IF signal to provide an amplified IF signal. The VSB AM signal is selected from any single one of a plurality of channels which can contain co-channel interference from a digital television signal. The amplified IF signal is synchronously detected with respect to video carrier frequency for generating an in-phase synchronous detection response and for generating a quadrature-phase synchronous detection response. All frequency components of the quadrature-phase synchronous detection response above a prescribed frequency are phase shifted substantially 90.degree. and are linearly combined with in-phase synchronous detection response for recovering lower frequency portions of the video signal, substantially free of artifacts from any co-channel interfering digital television signal. In some embodiments of the video signal receiver higher frequency portions of the video signal described in the full sideband of the VSB AM signal, but not in its vestigial sideband, are recovered by synchronously detecting the VSB AM signal after selective filtering to remove the pilot carrier signal component of any co-channel digital TV signal. The selective filtering avoids any artifact of such pilot carrier signal being generated when recovering higher frequency portions of the video signal. The lower and the higher frequency portions of the video signal are combined to obtain a fullband video signal.

    摘要: In transmitter apparatus for a digital television broadcasting system, internet-protocol (IP) packets of digital television information are subjected to multilevel coding (MLC) before being Gray-mapped to quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) constellations. The constituent codes of the MLC comprise respective low-density parity-check (LDPC) inner coding. Preferably, the LDPC inner coding is LDPC convolutional coding. The QAM constellations are used in coded orthogonal frequency-division modulation (COFDM) of plural carrier waves up-converted to a radio-frequency broadcast television channel. In receiver apparatus for the digital television broadcasting system the results of de-mapping QAM constellations recovered from demodulating the COFDM carrier waves are de-interleaved, and the LDPC constituent codes of the MLC are independently decoded in parallel with decoding results time-interleaved to recover the IP packets of digital television information.
