Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for detecting a period of a digital signal are provided to measure a period of a high speed digital signal by measuring an edge part of a digital signal with a high speed clock and measuring a part between edges of the digital signal with a low speed clock. An apparatus for detecting a period of a digital signal includes a first edge detection unit(200), a second edge detection unit(202), a first counter(204), an offset value detection unit(206), a second counter(208), and a period detection unit(210). The first edge detection unit detects an edge of an input digital signal by using a first clock signal having a predetermined period. The second edge detection unit detects an edge of the digital signal by using a second clock signal having a predetermined division rate divided from a first clock signal. The first counter counts the first clock signal in response to a detection result of the first edge detection unit. The offset value detection unit detects an offset value used in the counting of the second clock signal from the counting result of the first counter in response to the detection result of the second edge detection unit. The second counter counts the second clock signal based on the detected offset value in response to the detection result of the second edge detection unit. The period detection unit detects a period of the digital signal from the counting result of the second counter.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) mobile/handheld RFP A-VSB(Advanced VSB System) MCAST(Mobile Broadcasting) response, and A-VSB physical and link layers with a single frequency network are provided to improve reception of an 8-VSB service in a mobile/handheld operation mode by encoding signaling information in an RS encoder, thereby randomizing a stream including the signaling information in a randomizer. CONSTITUTION: A digital broadcasting transmitter includes an MUX(Multiplexer) and an exciter. The MUX forms the stream. The stream includes a normal data stream and a turbo data stream. The exciter encodes the stream. The exciter transmits the encoded stream. One burst includes data of N (52 bytes x NTP x 2). The NTP is the number of MCAST packets per package. Each data is rotated for burst transmission.
