ABSTRACT:
An HDTV receiver takes advantage of the detailed structure of the NTSC signal, namely the periodicity of the signal caused by the horizontal scan rate, in order to remove co-channel interference. A feedforward circuit is used to form an estimate of a current co-channel interference value from co-channel interference values occurring on previous scan lines. The estimate is subtracted from the signal to remove the co-channel interference at the expense of generating intersymbol interference. The circuit uses a form of decision-feedback equalization (DFE) in order to remove the intersymbol interference. The periodicity of the NTSC signal is exploited to allow the use of a high-rate trellis code in the DFE circuit.
