PURPOSE: A multi-antenna transmission apparatus for transmitting a terrestrial DTV broadcasting signal and additional data is provided to transmit a terrestrial DTV broadcasting signal and additional data by using multi-antennas. CONSTITUTION: A temporal and spatial mapping unit(202) maps main service symbols generated by a main service symbol generating unit(201) to the plurality of transmission antennas. An additional data symbol generating unit(203) generates additional data symbols for an additional data service. The additional data service may be a service to provided in addition to a DTV broadcast service. A transmission of the additional data provides additional broadcast service in addition to the existing DTV broadcast, and provides data service such as an education service, a stock service, a public announcement service, and the like, in addition to the existing DTV service. In addition, additional information, such as program information, associated with the main service is transmitted. A range of the additional data service may not be limited thereto, and a variety of information may be included. A temporal and spatial encoder(204) performs temporal and spatial encoding of the additional data symbols generated by the additional data symbol generating unit, and generates symbols to be transmitted to the plurality of transmission antennas. The temporal and spatial encoder receives, as inputs, K additional data symbols from the additional data symbol generating unit 203, K being an integer number, and may generate T*M temporal and spatial encoded symbols to be transmitted to the M transmission antennas during a T time duration. A processor(210) generates symbols to be transmitted via the plurality of transmission antennas based on the main service symbols and the additional data symbols. |
