Transmit diversity code filter sets (TDCFSs) are a method of predistorting the common waveforms from multiple transmitters in same frequency channel, as single network, order to minimize possibility cross-interference among transmitted signals over entire reception area. This processing is achieved using all-pass linear filters, allowing resulting combination predistortion and multipath be properly compensated part equalization process receiver.

Non-uniform constellations (NUCs) have been recently introduced in digital broadcasting systems to close the remaining gap unconstrained Shannon theoretical limit. Compared uniform quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations, NUCs provide a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain (i.e., reduction required SNR), especially for high-order constellations. One-dimensional (1D-NUC) squared shape with non-uniform distance between constellation symbols. Since I and Q components remain as two...
