A digital Vestigial Sideband (VSB) transmission system and enhanced data
multiplexing method are disclosed. When 1/2 enhanced data coded at a rate
of 1/2 and 1/4 enhanced data at a rate of 1/4 are transmitted, timing
jitter in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) of Vestigial Sideband (VSB)
receiver can be reduced and the size of input buffer in Moving Picture
Experts Group (MPEG) decoder of the Vestigial Sideband (VSB) receiver can
be reduced by multiplexing the 1/2 enhanced data packet and the 1/4 data
packet at predetermined intervals. Multiplexing the 1/2 enhanced data
packet and the 1/4 data packet by grouping increases the reception
performance of the 1/4 enhanced data. Multiplexing the 1/2 enhanced data
packet and the 1/4 data packet alternatively reduces the Moving Picture
Experts Group (MPEG) timing jitter in the Vestigial Sideband (VSB)
receiver and increases the reception performance of the 1/4 enhanced
data.
