Patent number: 7310354Abstract: A synchronous data link signal is generated for supply between digital television equipment in a studio and an RF transmitter. The synchronous data link signal includes first data to be encoded at a first data rate, second data to be encoded at a second data rate less than the first data rate, and a map defining the relative amounts and placement of the encoded first and second data in the synchronous data link signal. The first data is in the form of first output data packets of a predetermined size. The second data and the map data are multiplexed so as to provide more than one second output data packet having the predetermined size. The first and second output data packets are then multiplexed so as to provide the synchronous data link signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2002Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Zenith Electronics CorporationInventors: Mark Fimoff, Raymond C.

Patent number: 6980255Abstract: A translator demodulates a received digital television signal so as to produce a digital data stream, a symbol clock, and a byte clock, wherein the symbol clock and the byte clock are corrupted by phase noise. The digital data stream is written into a buffer in response to the corrupted byte clock. The corrupted symbol clock is applied to a frequency/phase locked loop having a narrowband loop filter. The frequency/phase locked loop produces a regenerated symbol clock having substantially no phase noise. The digital data stream is read from the buffer in response to the regenerated symbol clock. The digital data stream read from the buffer and the regenerated symbol clock are applied to a modulator for re-broadcasting of the received digital television signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2002Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Zenith Electronics CorporationInventors: Raymond C. Hauge, Gary A. Jones, Philip J. Nowaczyk

Patent number: 6559898Abstract: An encoder-modulator for coupling a digital baseband television signal to a VSB digital television receiver that includes filters, equalization circuitry, and forward error correction circuitry for correcting signal impairments that are below a given threshold. The encoder-modulator processes the baseband signal for low power transmission on an RF channel with less-than-nominal bandpass characteristics. A coaxial cable or other low noise communication link directly connects the RF signal to the RF input of the television receiver. Any errors or signal impairments in the transmitted signal that are below the predetermined threshold are corrected by the filters and equalization circuitry built into the VSB digital television receiver.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1999Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Zenith Electronics CorporationInventors: Richard W.

Patent number: 5825778Abstract: An interface for coupling 19.39 MHz serial packetized transport data in MPEG form to parallel transport data having a maximum symbol rate of 10.76 megasymbols per second. The incoming data includes filler packets to assure that the input bit rate is always in excess of a nominal bit rate. A serial/parallel decoder generates packetized parallel data which is applied to a packet remover. A buffer of multi packet capacity is periodically read to determine its fullness. Packets are removed as required to maintain the desired input bit rate. The buffer supplies a filler packet inserter that is also operated in accordance with the buffer fullness to assure an optimized output packetized data stream of symbols that does not exceed a maximum symbol rate.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Zenith Electronics CorporationInventor: Raymond C.

Patent number: 5572532Abstract: A convolutional interleaver or deinterleaver comprises an address signal generator for repeatedly generating [(B-1)N/2]+1 sequences of address signals, where B is a desired interleave depth and N is a value equal to or greater than the number of data bytes in a R-S block of the data stream. Each of the sequences corresponds to a respective row of a B column matrix, the first column of which comprises [(B-1)N/2]+1 consecutively numbered values. Each remaining column comprises the preceding column rotated by an integer multiple of N/B. The address signals are applied to a memory having [(B-1)N/2]+1 storage locations for reading the data stored at the address memory location and then writing the current data byte to the same memory location.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1994Date of Patent: November 5, 1996Assignee: Zenith Electronics Corp.Inventors: Mark Fimoff, Scott F.
