Abstract
In a DTV transmitter the bits of shortened BCH codewords that exhibit undesirably low densities of ONEs are ONEs' complemented before being further coded, and used to modulate carrier waves. In a DTV receiver the further coding is decoded after demodulation. The results of such decoding are processed to recover successive shortened BCH codewords, some of which are in TRUE form and others of which have had their bits ONEs' complemented. Each shortened BCH codeword is extended to full length with ZEROs, and decoding is attempted. Successful decoding confirms that the shortened BCH codeword was received in TRUE form. If decoding is unsuccessful, the bits of the shortened BCH codeword as received are ONEs' complemented, extended to full length with ZEROs, and decoding is attempted. Successful decoding confirms that the shortened BCH codeword was received in ONEs' complemented form and has subsequently been converted to TRUE form.
