Abstract: A carrier and symbol timing recovery apparatus usable in a VSB (Vestigial Side Band) receiver, and a method thereof. For a carrier and symbol timing recovery, error information is detected using a pilot signal, an upper sideband and a lower sideband of a received signal. Each of the detected error information is multiplied by a predetermined weight, respectively, and the results of the respective multiplications are added/combined. Therefore, even though the pilot signal may be corrupted, the carrier recovery can nevertheless be accurately performed. Additionally, even though the upper sideband of a received VSB-modulated signal may be corrupted, the lower sideband can be utilized to perform the symbol timing recovery. As a result, performance of a receiving system can be improved even under unfavorable channel characteristics. Moreover, since the carrier recovery and the symbol timing recovery are executed through a single apparatus, it becomes possible to simplify a hardware implementation thereof.

Abstract: An echo cancellation reference signal is generated within a DTV transmitter by approximating a pair of successive repetitive PN sequences with 8VSB symbols arranged in sequences that are capable of being generated by ? trellis coding. The trellis coding is controlled so that the two sequences of 8VSB symbols can be linearly combined to generate a repetitive PN sequence doubled in amplitude and superposed on a constant-value pedestal. After this linear combining is performed by a comb filter in a DTV receiver, the resulting signal is convolved with the PN sequence as known a priori at the DTV receiver. This is a correlation procedure which generates the impulse response of the channel through which the DTV signal was received. The channel impulse response (CIR) provides a basis for computing the weighting coefficients of adaptive channel-equalization filtering in the DTV receiver.
