Summary :

In this paper, an adaptive array antenna is implemented to enhance the performance of digital TV ISDB-T reception. Issues of realizing the proposed array antenna and its implementation by a joint hardware-software solution are also presented in this paper. Instead of using known reference signals, the proposed method utilizes the GI (Guard Interval) and a periodic property of OFDM signal as a constraint to realize MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) and SMI (Sample Matrix Inversion) adaptive beam-forming algorithms. Experimental results show that the proposed system drastically improves the quality of reception. Moreover, the proposed system can achieve excellent performance under the conditions of strong interferences.
