摘要:
Normally ordered robust VSB data are reordered in accordance with a first interleave to produce reordered robust VSB data. The reordered robust VSB data and ATSC data are reordered in accordance with a second interleave to produce normally ordered robust VSB data and reordered ATSC data. The normally ordered robust VSB data and reordered ATSC data are time multiplexed for transmission to a receiver. The receiver discards the reordered ATSC data or the normally ordered robust VSB data depending upon receiver type or user selection. A robust VSB receiver is able to process the normally ordered robust VSB data upstream of an outer decoder without an interleave thereby avoiding the delay associated with an interleave.

An MPEG on-screen display coder includes a buffer, an MPEG encoder, and a multiplexer. The buffer receives and buffers an MPEG transport data stream containing frames of a selected program and frames of a non-selected program. The MPEG encoder encodes frames of the selected program with an on-screen display. The multiplexer selectively passes to a digital television receiver the frames of the non-selected program, the encoded frames of the selected program, and original frames of the selected program.

Constrained tap weights of a decision feedback equalizer are determined according to the channel impulse response of a channel and a constraint function. The constraint function is differentiable and is an approximation of a non-differentiable tap weight constraint function. The tap weight constraint function may have a constraint value M that is a function of a mean squared error of the estimated mean squared error at the output of the decision feedback equalizer.

An impulse response of a channel is estimated by correlating a received signal with a stored vector. The received signal contains a training sequence having a length Ltr, the stored vector has a length Lsv, Ltr/n=Lsv, and n is greater than two. The signal is received by a device. The vector is determined based on the training sequence and an ideal channel. The ideal channel is an idealized form of a channel through which the device receives the signal. A plurality of correlations may be performed where each correlation provides a substantially noise-free estimate of the impulse response of a different portion of the channel. The correlations are combined to provide an estimate of the impulse response of the channel.

An impulse response is estimated for a channel by estimating an intermediate impulse response of the channel. The intermediate impulse response comprises at least one multipath spike and one or more non-deterministic noise components at locations throughout the channel. Then, a threshold function is applied to the estimated intermediate impulse response across at least a portion of the channel in order to provide an estimated final impulse response of the channel. The threshold function has the effect of nulling the noise components of the channel having values less than the threshold function at the location within the channel of the respective noise component, and the threshold function is characterized by a level that varies across the portion of the channel from a minimum value to a maximum value in a manner determined by the location of the at least one multipath spike within the channel.
摘要:
In an enhanced slice prediction embodiment, an input containing first and second data is received. Each data element of the first data represents a number of bits that is greater than a number of bits represented by each data element of the second data, and the first and second data in the received input are defined by the same n level constellation. The input is decoded with a first decoder to recover both the first and second data. Only the second data is decoded with a second decoder. Enhanced slice prediction is provided based on the decoding of the second decoder.

An equalizer substantially eliminates a ghost of a received main signal by (i) applying coefficients b (where b may be equal to one) to the received main signal and the ghost in order to modulate the received main signal and the ghost so that the received main signal and the ghost are unequal, (ii) applying coefficients a to the modulated received main signal and ghost in order to substantially eliminate the ghost, and (iii) applying coefficients c as a window function to the substantially ghost-free received main signal in order to remove the modulation imposed on the received main signal by the coefficients b.
摘要:
A data encoding system includes a modifier, an encoder, and a feedback. The modifier receives a first data stream and modifies the first data stream so as to provide a second data stream. The encoder encodes the second data stream in order to provide an output. At least a portion of the output has predetermined symbol values. A feedback from the encoder to the modifier provides encoder states to the modifier. The modifier modifies the first data stream based on the encoder states so as to facilitate the encoder in providing the portion of the output having the predetermined symbol values. A receiver receives a signal based on the output and decodes the signal.
摘要:
A television signal transmission signal comprises a suppressed carrier, VSB signal having respective Nyquist slopes at the lower and upper edges of a 6 MHz television channel, the center frequency of the Nyquist slope at the lower edge of the channel being substantially coincident with the frequency of the suppressed carrier, and a pilot signal in quadrature relation with the suppressed carrier. The suppressed carrier is modulated by an N-level digitally encoded signal having a sample rate fs substantially equal to three times the NTSC color subcarrier frequency, with the frequency of the color subcarrier being less than the co-channel NTSC picture carrier by an amount equal to about fs/12. The received signal is demodulated by a synchronous detector in response to the received pilot signal and interfering NTSC beat components are attenuated by a linear filter having notches at fs/12, 5fs/12 and fs/2. The output of the filter comprises an M-level signal, where M is greater than N, which is converted to a N-level output signal representing the televised image.
