An Adaptive IIR Pre-Equalizer for Terrestrial DTV Transmitters

摘要

A novel pre-equalization method for terrestrial DTV transmitters is presented. A pre-equalizer is used in transmitters to correct group delay and amplitude distortions caused by a channel filter. In the proposed pre-equalizer, an equation-error adaptive IIR filtering scheme is adopted unlike the conventional pre-equalization using FIR filtering. The pole-zero modeling property of IIR filters improves the signal-to-noise ratio by compensating for various linear distortions existing in DTV transmitters as well as the channel filter distortion. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR pre-equalizer performs better than the FIR pre-equalizer in terms of the residual mean-square error.
