Abstract :
This paper introduces a novel data synchronization method for ATSC distributed translator (DTxR) to improve the indoor reception performance of DTV (Digital TV). The proposed method extracts the frame sync information from the received RF signal and utilizes it for constructing the rebroadcast signal of DTxR. Computer Simulations are performed for the basic working algorithm of prototype system and some practical application issues are described.
