The present television system was designed nearly 50 years ago. Since then, there have been significant developments in technology, which are highly relevant to the television industries. For example, advances in the very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) technology and signal processing theories make it feasible to incorporate frame-store memory and sophisticated signal processing capabilities in...

When interlaced scan (IS) is used for television transmission, the received video must be deinterlaced to be displayed on progressive scan (PS) displays. To achieve good performance, the deinterlacing operation is typically computationally expensive. We propose a receiver compatible approach which performs a deinterlacing operation inexpensively, with good performance. At the transmitter, the s...

Abstract A novel equalizer for single carrier Digital Television Terrestrial Broadcasting system is proposed. Because of the state-of-art equalization normally uses frequency domain DFE scheme, herein, we suggested combining with a maximum ratio combing (MRC) receiver diversity block and accordingly a frequency domain maximum ratio combing decision feedback filter (FD-MRC-DFE) structure is obta...

In this thesis, I designed and implemented a program which simulates a television receiver on a workstation. The television receiver is connected to a network called the Media Bank. The Media Bank is a distributed database which is being developed at the MIT Media Laboratory. The program is written in C and runs on the OSF3.2 UNIX operating system. This software package simulates a future telev...

This paper addresses the evaluation of the performance of Advanced Television Systems Committee digital television. The evaluation is carried out through a simulated digital television system using matlab with simulink .The ATSC digital television standard accommodate a system designed to transmit high-quality video and audio, and ancillary data within a single 6-MHz terrestrial television broa...

Interactive Digital Television is mostly a matter of entertainment for developed countries, but bears great potential to narrow the digital divide in developing countries. The television’s return channel might become the family’s gate to the Information Society. For this to come true, however, digital receivers and return channel technologies must reach cost levels that enable mass penetration....
