Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電信研究所 === 81 === Traditionally,digital broadcast system uses single resolution strategy.Due to the propagation loss, the channel capacity decreases monotonically with increased distance from the transmitter. The picture quality will degrade abruptly. This is so called threshold effect. A better video broadcast system can be designed by the multiresolution strategy. Joint consideration for signal bit stream priority in source coding and the Euclidean distance between signal points in modulation achieves stepwise degradation in the picture quality. In this multiresolution strategy, system performance is affected by the way how the original images are decomposed, and how many signal levels are used in modulation. With the 1:2 ratio of bit-rates between two components in multiresolution 64 QAM transmission, we investigate that subband coder, pyramid coder, and decomposed DCT coder in multiresolution source coding. Optimum quantization is employed with nonuniform quantizer matched to Laplacian distribution in several different bit-rates. To increase full resolution coverage,trellis code that matched to multiresolution 64 QAM modulator is established in AWGN channel. Simulation reveals that decomposed DCT coder is a better candidate for multiresolution transmission, which has the advantages that source coder is simple and not sensitive to bit ratio variation,bit allocation is efficient, and more flexible for system design.
