Modulation By Absorption Of Signal, Changing Antenna Dimension Or Changing Antenna Impedance Patents (Class 375/315)
  • Patent number: 6246444
    Abstract: A digital/analog TV common-use receiver having a single ghost canceler, and a ghost cancellation method are provided. The single ghost canceler includes a first filter coefficient generator for generating first filter coefficients using a first reference signal included in the analog TV signal, a second filter coefficient generator for generating second filter coefficients using a second reference signal included in the digital TV signal, and a digital filter for filtering the analog TV signal using the first filter coefficients if the analog TV signal is received, and the digital TV signal using the second filter coefficients if the digital TV signal is received. Since an equalizer used when receiving a terrestrial digital TV broadcast is also used upon receiving a terrestrial analog TV broadcast, the single equalizer can correspond to both digital and analog TV signals.
