In this thesis, a highly efficient implementation of the channel decoder for terrestrial digital video broadcast (DVBT) standard is proposed. DVB-T channel decoder is mainly composed of four major modules including the inner Viterbi decoder, outer Reed-Solomon decoder and inner and outer de-interleaver modules which all require significant amount of intermediate data storage. The main contribution of this thesis is to propose suitable architectural solution for each individual module to achieve efficient realization of the data storage mostly by single-port memory blocks which can lead to the reduction of silicon area and the dynamic power dissipation. For the outer convolutional deinterleaver module, a special address generator has been proposed such that the data deinterleaver path can be merged and implemented as three memory blocks. For the inner symbol deinterleaver module, a lookahead technique has been applied to the design of address generator that can generate valid deinterleaving address each cycle to avoid the buffering problem. In addition, a novel deinterleaver memory partitioning architecture is proposed such that the entire deinterleaver can be built on four single-port memory banks. These four modules have been verified and integrated as a robust channel decoder silicon intellectual property (IP). Our implementation result shows that the core area of entire DVB-T channel decoder IP (Intellectual Property) can be realized in less than 6.8 mm2 in 0.18-µm TSMC technology.
