Advanced digital HDTV transmission system for terrestrial video simulcasting

TLDR
Transmission aspects of the advanced digital high definition television (AD-HDTV) system, for terrestrial simulcast delivery of HDTV are described, and the NTSC planning factors, suitably modified for HDTV delivery, are used to estimate the coverage area.
Abstract
Transmission aspects of the advanced digital high definition television (AD-HDTV) system, for terrestrial simulcast delivery of HDTV are described. In AD-HDTV, two quadrature-amplitude-modulated (QAM) carriers, with different power spectral densities, are employed in a frequency division multiplex (FDM) mode within the standard 6-MHz channel. The resulting spectral shaping allows a larger power to be transmitted, compared to that for a single QAM carrier, for the same level of perceptual interference into cochannel NTSC. The coded video data are split into high-priority (HP) data and standard-priority (SP) data, and the vital information is sent on the appropriate QAM carrier, resulting in a robust audio and video transmission system. The availability is higher in scenarios where the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) is above the threshold for HP reception but below the threshold for SP reception; this is important in fringe areas. The NTSC planning factors, suitably modified for HDTV delivery, are used to estimate the coverage area for AD-HDTV. The calculated AD-HDTV coverage area of 54.5 miles is comparable to that for NTSC transmission. >

Equalization apparatus with effective coefficient updating operation

TL;DR: In this article, the CMA term and the Cauchy distribution function are combined with a proper choice for the weight factors to prevent the equalizer coefficients from converging to a local minimum of the coarse MSE function and makes them converge to the global minimum thereof all the time.
