Abstract

The transmitter identification (TxID) of digital television (DTV) systems becomes crucial nowadays. TxID (or transmitter fingerprinting) technique is used to detect, diagnose and classify the operating status of any radio transmitter of interest. The TxID system is specified in Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) A/110 standard where pseudorandom sequences are proposed to be embedded into the DTV signals before transmission. The buried ratio or injection level of injected Kasami sequences in DTV-TxID systems will both affect the identification correctness and the DTV reception quality. In this study, the authors investigate the important unsolved optimisation problem for injection level. The authors present the new analysis here for the realistic scenario consisting of multiple transmitters and receivers over the additive white Gaussian noise channel. The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios for the TxID signal detection and the subject TV signal reception are both considered as two essential measures for single-frequency networks. Besides, the authors design a novel efficient injection-level optimisation scheme for TxID simply based on the given information including the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver and the locations of the transmitters and the receiver(s). © 2011 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.
