Method and apparatus for suppressing co-channel NTSC interference for digital TV transmission

摘要

A rejection filter for use at an ATV receiver which is designed to process co-channel interference so as to produce at the filter output of the filter, a residual interference spectrum which is as flat as possible. The filter exploits the fact that only the picture and the sound carriers need to be sufficiently attenuated and cancels NTSC co-channel interference with only a small degradation in performance when AWGN is also present.
