ABSTRACT:
A television receiver for reducing a co-channel interference in a digital television signal transmitted by a transmitter, wherein the digital television signal includes an encoded digital television signal component, a co-channel interference component, and a noise component, and wherein a precoder, for which precoding is implemented at the television transmitter, encodes the digital television signal. The receiver includes a receiver for receiving the transmitted digital television signal and for providing a received output signal. A filter block is provided for filtering the received output signal to reduce the co-channel interference component thereof. The filter block includes a plurality of rejection filters and a device for enabling a desired one of the plurality of rejection filters in response to a selection control signal, the enabled rejection filter corresponding to an optimal rejection filter for the precoder for which precoding is implemented at the television transmitter. The filter block provides a filtered output signal. A detector, responsive to the received output signal, is provided for detecting information regarding the precoder. The detector includes a selector for selecting the desired one of the plurality of rejection filters in response to the detected information, and provides the selection control signal for the filter block. Lastly, a device, responsive to the filtered output signal, produces a decoded digital television signal.
