Abstract:
A DTV transmitter includes a pre-processor expanding original enhanced data, a data formatter generating enhanced data packets including the expanded enhanced data and inserting known data place holders into the data packets, a multiplexer multiplexing the enhanced data packets with main data packets including main data, and an RS encoder adding systematic RS parity data to each main data packet and adding non-systematic RS parity data holders to each enhanced data packet. It further includes a data interleaver interleaving the RS-coded data packets, a known data generator generating know data symbols, a converter converting the interleaved data packet into symbols, and a symbol processor processing the converted symbols. The symbol processor removes symbols representing the null data, encodes symbols representing the original enhanced data at a rate of N/M, and replaces symbols representing the know data place holders with known data symbols.

Abstract:
A pre-processor pre-processes enhanced data packets by coding the enhanced data packets for forward error correction (FEC) and expanding the FEC-coded data packets. A data formatter adds first null data into first place holders within each pre-processed enhanced data packet. A first multiplexer multiplexes the main data packets with the enhanced data packets having the first null data. A holder inserter inserts second null data into second place holders within an enhanced data packet outputted from the first multiplexer. A data interleaver replaces the second null data with parity data. A data generator generates at least one known data sequence. A symbol processor replaces the first null data included in an output of the data interleaver with the known data sequence(s). A non-systematic RS encoder generates the parity data by performing non-systematic RS-coding on an output of the symbol processor, and provides the parity data to the data interleaver.

Abstract:
A signal comprises a sequence of fields, each field having a synchronization portion and a data portion, a transmitter inserts a pseudonoise (PN) sequence into the synchronization portion of a field for use in identifying a presence of mobile data in the data portion of that field; and transmits the signal. In complementary fashion, a receiver receives the signal and upon detecting the PN sequence in the synchronization portion of the received signal determines whether or not mobile data is in the data portion of that field of the received signal.

Abstract:
Provided is a modulation device which generates a phase modulation signal and an amplitude modulation signal and can correct an I/Q orthogonal shift and reduce degradation of the ON/OFF ratio. In the device, a phase shifter (174) controls voltage applied to a capacitor in accordance with a control signal outputted from a phase control unit (180) and adjusts the capacitance so as to shift the phase of a carrier generated by an oscillator (173). The phase control unit (180) estimates a phase shift of a phase shifter (174) in accordance with an output RF signal (S140) by using the phase shift estimation method. Furthermore, the phase control unit (180) performs tuning of the phase shifter (174) according to the estimated value of the phase shift of the phase shifter (174) so that a phase difference between carries of an I signal (S125) and a Q signal (S135) is 90 degrees.
