There are provided a VSB receiver and a carrier recovery apparatus thereof, in which a carrier is recovered using a VSB modulated signal. In the VSB receiver, a digital processing part selects a desired channel frequency through an antenna, converts the channel frequency into an intermediate frequency, and digitalizes the channel frequency by passing a predetermined band of the intermediate frequency. A carrier recovery part extracts pilot signals by using a first LPF having a first bandwidth and a second LPF having a second bandwidth, and recovers a baseband carrier wave signal from a passband signal by using one of the extracted pilot signals. A clock demodulation part removes the pilot signal from the baseband carrier wave signal and extracts a synchronizing signal. A noise removing part removes a linear noise and a residual phase jitter of the baseband signal by using the synchronizing signal. A decoding part decodes the baseband signal whose noise is removed. Accordingly, the carrier recovery can be stably performed even when the pilot signal is weak.

VSB receiver and carrier recovery apparatus thereof

Provided is a carrier recovery apparatus in a vestigial sideband modulation (VSB) type digital television (DTV) receiver. The carrier recovery apparatus dynamically controls a sign determination level which is a reference for determining a sign of an I signal in a sign extractor. Therefore, the carrier recover apparatus can eliminate unnecessary sign extraction caused by zero-crossing which is generated when the receiver receives a pilot signal weaken by a channel ghost, and improves the frequency lock performance in the receiver. Specially, the carrier recover apparatus can effectively improve the frequency lock performance when comparatively large pattern jitter is existed in a low pass signal caused by a ghost signal produces a long delay time.
