This work proposes a frequency domain turbo equalization (FDTE) scheme for the reception of transmissions that employ vestigial sideband modulation and punctured trellis coding, as specified by the ATSC North American terrestrial digital television (DTV) standard. The proposed FDTE scheme enables low-cost and high performance reception of highly impaired DTV signals. Through numerical simulation, we demonstrate that our FDTE scheme outperforms the traditional joint DFE/decoding approach at a fraction of the implementation cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
