In this paper, a new loopback BIST structure which is effective to test RF transceiver chip and LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) in the chip is presented. Because the presented BIST structure uses a baseband processor in the chip as a tester while the system is under testing mode, the developed test technique has an advantage of performing test application and test evaluation in effectiveness. The presented BIST structure can change high frequency test output signals to a low frequency signals which can make the CUT(circuits under test) tested easily. By using this technique, the necessity of RF test equipment can be mostly reduced. The test time and test cost of RF circuits can be cut down by using proposed BIST structure, and finally the total chip manufacturing costs can be reduced.

This paper presents and analyzes laboratory test results of Interference Cancellation Digital On Channel Regenerative Repeater(IC-DOCR) to broadcast digital television signals in the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC) transmission systems using single frequency networks(SFN). IC-DOCR laboratory test is classified to receiver test, transmitter test, and feedback interference cancellation test. The receiver part includes random noise, single echo, multi-path ensembles, and adjacent channel interference test. The transmitter part includes out-of channel emission, equality of transmitting signal, and phase noise test. By the laboratory test, the receiver part of the IC-DOCR eliminates 28dB of feedback signal higher than the received signal and has 17.8dB at TOV(Threshold Of Visibility) under random noise environment. Also, the transmitter part satisfies the specification of US FCC(Federal Communications Commission) as well as maintains good output signal quality for guaranteeing more than SNR 30dB.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 2단 연산 증폭기에 존재하는 강고장을 검출하기 위한 새로운 아날로그 테스트 방법을 제안한다. 테스트 대상 회로는 테스트를 용이하도록 궤환 루프를 삽입하고 정현파 테스트 입력을 인가하여 출력단에 고장 효과를 발생시켜 고장을 검출하는 테스트 방법이다. 테스트 대상회로에 고장이 존재할 경우 출력 단에서 정현파가 아닌 DC 전압이나 왜곡 신호가 나타나 고장 검출이 용이하다. 제안된 테스트 방법은 테스트 입력 신호를 생성하기 위한 복잡한 알고리즘을 요구하지 않으므로 테스트 패턴 시간이 짧고, 비용이 절감된다. 또한 테스트를 위한 추가적인 하드웨어의 오브헤드가 적다. 본 논문에서 제안된 테스트 방법의 정당성과 효율성은 HSPICE 모의실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 T-DMB 시스템의 단일 주파수 망 구성을 위해 궤환신호 제거기를 가지는 등화형 OCR (Equalization On-Channel Repeater, E-OCR)을 제안한다. 제안된 OCR은 송/수신 안테나의 충분치 못한 분리도로 인해 야기된 궤환신호를 궤환간섭 제거기를 통해 제거하여 송신출력을 높일 뿐만 아니라, 송신기와 중계기 사이의 다중경로 신호를 등화기를 통해 제거하여 우수한 출력신호 품질을 보장한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 전산실험을 통해 제안된 OCR의 성능을 살펴보고 실험실 테스트를 통해 실제 구현된 OCR의 성능을 검증한다.

This paper presents and analyzes laboratory test results of Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater (EDOCR) using ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee) terrestrial digital TV broadcasting system. The EDOCR laboratory test, which is done at CRC(Communications Research Centre) Canada, is classified to receiver test, transmitter test, and synchronization test between transmission and reception frequencies. The receiver part includes feedback signal, random noise, single echo, multi-path ensemble, and NTSC/DTV interference test. The transmitter part includes out-of channel emission, quality of transmitting signal, and phase noise test. By the field test results, the receiver part of the EDOCR eliminates average 5.5 dB of feedback or single echo signal in range of 0 to 11 ${\mu}s$ and has average 18.6 dB at TOV(Threshold of Visibility) under random noise environment. Also, the transmitter part of the EDOCR satisfies the specification of US FCC(Federal Communications Commission), and frequency difference between transmitter and receiver is zero.

In this paper, we designed a decision feedback based diversity modem hardware architecture for IEEE802.11p WAVE and tested the modem on the road with car attached shark antenna. One of the dual channel modem and the diversity single modem with maximum ratio combining algorithm can be selected on the designed architecture. The designed modem have been implemented on the Xillinx Kintex7 FPGA. We tested the modem performance on the smart highway experience road. As experimental results, we can verify the performance of the diversity modem on real road and the enlarged communication range by more than 100%.

This paper proposes a DTV receiver using beamforming techniques to improve indoor and mobile reception. The proposed DTV receiver estimates the directions of arrival (DOAs) of incoming signals using Capon's DOA estimation method and generates an adaptive antenna beam pattern to the estimated DOA of the mainpath signal to Improve the channel condition. After beamforming, a following decision feedback equalizer (DFE) removes the remaining multipath components. The proposed receiver can be implemented with a conventional DTV receiver without anymodification. The performance of the proposed receiver is analyzed with modified Brazilian field test models, which include DOA information of Incoming signals. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver can satisfy the threshold of visibility (TOV) when input signal to noise ratio is slightly over 10 dB.

In this paper, we implement the development platform of multichannel digital hearing aid algorithm using Simulink provided by Matlab. The digital hearing aids are considered medical devices designed to compensate for hearing loss, they need to be correctly selected, to help a person who has difficulty in hearing. The development platform that implemented in this paper, includes WOLA filterbank for analysis/synthesis of input signal, Wide dynamic range compression for hearing loss compensation and adaptive filter for feedback cancellation. Using the development platform, algorithm parameters for each block can be set depending on the hearing aid user. Thus it is possible to test the algorithm before the machine language. As a result, the time for algorithm development can be saved and performance and computational complexity can be optimized.

In this paper we consider technological requirements of the on-channel repeater to broadcast the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) signals using single frequency networks (SFN) and propose the configuration and implementation method of the equalization on-channel repeater (OCR) that meet such requirements. The proposed equalization OCR not only has short time delay, but shows high output power and good quality of output signal by removing a feedback signal due to incomplete antenna isolation and multipath signal existing between the main transmitter and the OCR. In addition, computer simulations and laboratory tests results are provided to figure out performance of the proposed equalization OCR.
