Abstract
A HDTV receiver which is improved in its overall performance and is simplified in its configuration, by improving a symbol timing restoring circuit, includes a tuner for selecting a necessary channel from input signals via an antenna, an IF processing & carrier restoring portion for performing an IF process & carrier restoration from the output of the tuner, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting the output of the IF processing & carrier restoring portion into a digital signal, a timing restoring portion for restoring a timing from the output of the ADC, a 2:1 down-sampler for 2:1 down-sampling the output of the ADC, a sync detector for detecting a sync from the output of the 2:1 down-sampler, a channel equalizer for performing a channel equalization from the output of the 2:1 down-sampler, a phase controller for correcting the phase error from the output of the channel equalizer, an optimal viterbi decoder for performing a viterbi decoding operation from the output of the phase controller, a deinterleaver for dissipating the output of the optimal viterbi decoder in order to enhance the correction capability due to burst errors, an error controller for performing a Ree…
