Equalization of 8-VSB Signals using Complex-Valued Decision Feedback Filter
Wonzoo Chung · The Transactions of The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers · 2006
In this paper, we present an equalization scheme for 8-VSB signals for the ATSC DTV system. We propose a complex feedback filter and complex feedback sample generator for DFE to equalize 8-VSB signals in order to efficiently remove multipath distortions causing leakages from the qudrature component. We show that the proposed structure outperforms the conventional DFE used for the digital VSB which uses a real-valued feedback filter with real-valued decisions.
