Abstract

The transmitter identification (Tx-ID) technique has been widely addressed in the modern advanced television systems committee digital television (DTV) standards. Kasami sequences are adopted as the Tx-ID sequences due to the favorable code capacity. However, the conventional cross-correlation based Tx-ID technique cannot combat the realistic multipath channel impairment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new least-square Tx-ID approach, which is demonstrated to be very robust when the multipath channels are encountered. We also establish the new Hessian analysis to provide the range for appropriate injection levels accordingly. Based on this new theoretical study, we design new efficient (fast) algorithms to determine the maximum allowable channel length given a particular Kasami Tx-ID sequence. These algorithms and theoretical results can be very useful for the future DTV technologies.
