Measurements and Analysis of Secondary User Device Effects on Digital Television Receivers

This article presents results from a study of the potential effects of secondary users operating in unoccupied television spectrum. Television spectrum is known within the wireless communications community as being underutilized, making it a prime candidate for dynamic spectrum access. The proposed use of this open spectrum has prompted questions concerning the quantity of available channel spa...

Dosimetry of the Very Weak X-radiation Generated in Television Receivers and X-ray Diffraction Apparatus

With many kinds of apparatus in which electron tubes are operated at high voltages, the possiblepresence of very weak, soft Xvradiation, (i.e. Xradiation of low penetrating power) in the neighbourhood must be given due consideration. The question arises in such apparatus as X-ray diffraction equipment, formerly found only in research laboratories but now widely used industrially in inspection a...

Near - Optimum Blind Decision Feedback Equalization for ATSC Digital Television Receivers

Hyoung-Nam Kim et al. 101 This paper presents a near-optimum blind decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for the receivers of Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) digital television. By adopting a modified trellis decoder (MTD) with a traceback depth of 1 for the decision device in the DFE, we obtain a hardware-efficient, blind DFE approaching the performance of an optimum DFE which has no ...

Modeling Television Schedules for Television Stream Structuring

TV stream structuring is very important for huge archives holders like the French National Institute, the BBC or the RAI, because it is the first necessary step to describe the various telecasts broadcast on various channels. It is also necessary for television ratings in order to isolate the telecasts that must be rated. One can think this structuring is a simple alignment of the TV guides on ...
