Implementation of baseband chip for the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) system

A new national standard for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) has been announced in Korea to provide high quality digital audio, video, and data broadcasting services to fixed, mobile, and portable receivers. We have developed an FPGA/ASIC implementation for the T-DMB system. The paper describes the features and functions of the newly developed T-DMB system. We also present the design, implementation, and performance of the baseband chip for the T-DMB system. The chip was fabricated using a 0.25 μm 1P4M CMOS process.
