TV Ghost Cancellation System Using Switched Capacitor Circuits

In the TV reception, picture quality has been one of the primary criterion in its design. The presence of ghost signals, which are due to reflections of TV signal from high rise building, towers, mountains, etc., is one of the major causes of distortion and is Iiot avoided at the receiver end.

Ghost cancellation is a nullifying operation and allows one to reduce its effect on the picture quality as much as possible. In this thesis two-stage switched capacitor (SC) transversal filter has been used for reduction of distortion. The system has been able to suppress ghosts with delays ranging from 0.1 µs to 20 µs with ghost suppression threshold at 1 % amplitude. The algorithm uses a special training signal to determine the ghost's characteristics. For a single ghost once the ghost's parameters have been determined, the transversal filter delays the incoming signal by td (the time delay of ghost) and multiplies it by a factor - G (G being the gain of ghost). The result signal is added to original signal. We obtain an output which gives no output due to original ghost but adds up another ghost. The process is repeated until the ghost's amplitude is within acceptable limits. In this thesis we have simulated the system at the block diagram level using MATLAB and at component level using PSpice.
