RESUMO

This thesis deals with the optimization of Digital TV receivers based on OFDM, with performance evaluation in regional single frequency networks (SFN). Such environment facilitates the channel distribution, however its characteristics degrade the receiver operation. Initially, projects of loop canceller filters in relay stations are treated, and they are necessary when the transmission antenna causes interference on reception antenna. A new filter, based on time information is proposed. New proposals are made for the synchronism, channel estimation and equalization, and coding/decoding. One technique, coming from the pattern recognition theory, is applied for complexity reduction in the process of time synchronism. A 2D channel estimation system and adaptive equalization, using LMS (Least Mean Square), is compared to classical techniques in the literature, and a significant gain is achieved. As a new coding and decoding scheme, an iterative system based on turbo codes is used with reduced number of iterations. Such code improves the system performance when compared to the Viterbi and Reed Solomon concatenated decoders. The proposals are combined and the performance of the proposed receiver is evaluated on typical conditions of SFN and on typical multipaths for TV reception in Brazil
