To recover transmitted signal perfectly at DTV receiver, we have to acquire carrier frequency synchronization to compensate pilot signal which located in wrong position and rotated phase. Also, we need a symbol timing synchronization to compensate sampling timing error. Conventionally, to synchronize symbol timing, we use Gardner's scheme which used in multi-level signal. Gardner's scheme is well known for its sampling the timing error signal from every symbol and it makes easy to detect and keep timing sync in multi-path channel. In this paper, to discuss the problem when the received power level is out of range and we cannot get synchronization information. With this problem, we use 2 step procedures. First, we put a received signal power compensation block before Garder's timing error detector. Second, adaptive loop filter to get a fast synchronization information and averaging loop filter's output value to reduce the amount of jitter after synchronization in PLL(Phased Locked Loop) circuit which is used to get a carrier frequency synchronization and symbol timing synchronization. Using the averaging value, we can estimate offset. Based on offset changing ratio, we can adapt adaptive loop filter to carrier frequency and symbol timing synchronization circuit.

Computed radiography (CR) systems, which convert an analog signal recorded on a cassette into a digital image, combine the characteristics of analog and digital imaging systems. Compared to digital radiography (DR) systems, CR systems have presented difficulties in evaluating system performance because of their lower detective quantum efficiency, their lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and lower modulation transfer function (MTF). During the step of energy-storing and reading out, a baseline offset occurs in the edge area and makes low-frequency overestimation. The low-frequency offset component in the line spread function (LSF) critically affects the MTF and other image-analysis or qualification processes. In this study, we developed the method of baseline correction using mathematical morphology to determine the LSF and MTF of CR systems accurately. We presented a baseline correction that used a morphological filter to effectively remove the low-frequency offset from the LSF. We also tried an MTF evaluation of the CR system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the baseline correction. The MTF with a 3-pixel structuring element (SE) fluctuated since it overestimated the low-frequency component. This overestimation led the algorithm to over-compensate in the low-frequency region so that high-frequency components appeared relatively strong. The MTFs with between 11- and 15-pixel SEs showed little variation. Compared to spatial or frequency filtering that eliminated baseline effects in the edge spread function, our algorithm performed better at precisely locating the edge position and the averaged LSF was narrower.

최근 3D HDTV (3-Dimensional High Definition Television)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 3D HDTV 방송 서비스를 위하여 기존의 ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) 8-VSB (8-Vestigial Side Band) 시스템을 수정하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 프레임 생성 과정에서 프레임 헤드 부분에 PN (Pseudo-Noise)심볼을 사용하는 새로운 시스템의 개념을 제안하고, 이 시스템을 수정된 ATSC 시스템이라 부를 것이다. 수정된 ATSC 시스템은 기존 ATSC 8-VSB 시스템에서 사용되던 VSB 변조방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 수정된 ATSC 시스템에 적용 가능한 반송파 주파수 복구 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 반송파 주파수 복구 방식은 Fitz 알고리즘을 사용하는 거친 주파수 복구부와 간단한 PN심볼 상관 알고리즘을 사용하는 미세 주파수 복구부로 구성된다. 그리고 진폭만을 변조하여 사용하는 VSB 변조 방식의 경우 심볼 정보가 동위상 채널에만 존재하고, 직교위상 채널은 단순히 동위상 채널의 힐버트 변환된 값에 지나지 않는다. 그러므로 VSB 변조된 심볼은 QAM 변조된 심볼 처럼 일정한 배열을 가지지 않고, 반송파 주파수 옵셋에 더욱 민감하게 된다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 수신된 PN심볼에 대한 위상 보정 과정을 수행하고, 이 과정은 수정된 ATSC 시스템의 반송파 주파수 복구 시 성능을 향상 시킨다.

In this paper, the design of a 10-bit 40-MS/s pipelined A/D converter is implemented to achieve low static power dissipation of 70 mW at the ${\pm}2.5\;V$ or +5 V power supply environment for high speed applications. A 1.5 b/stage pipeline architecture in the proposed ADC is used to allow large correction range for comparator offset and perform the fast interstage signal processing. According to necessity of high-performance op amps for design of the ADC, the new op amp with gain boosting based on a typical folded-cascode architecture is designed by using SAPICE that is an automatic design tool of op amps based on circuit simulation. A dynamic comparator with a capacitive reference voltage divider that consumes nearly no static power for this low power ADC was adopted. The ADC implemented using a $1.0{\mu}m$ n-well CMOS technology exhibits a DNL of ${\pm}0.6$ LSB, INL of +1/-0.75 LSB and SNDR of 56.3 dB for 9.97 MHz input while sampling at 40 MHz.

환경부는 기존 대형 강우레이더 관측망에 대한 동해안 지역 관측공백 해소와 집중호우에 의한 재해예방을 목적으로 2기의 전파강수관측소를 삼척과 울진 통고산에 구축 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 삼척 및 울진 전파강수관측소 관측 자료 품질 향상을 위한 다양한 품질 분석 기법을 소개하고 그 결과를 제시한다. 설치된 전파강수관측소의 시스템 특성 중 하나인 Short/Long 펄스 신호에 따른 자료의 연속/불연속성 및 피뢰침에 의한 자료 품질, 그리고 강수에 의한 신호감쇠에 따른 유효관측거리 등을 분석하였다. 이러한 분석을 기반으로 신호보정옵셋 및 피뢰침 위치 등을 조정하여 자료 품질을 향상하였다. 또한 삼척과 울진 전파강수관측소를 대상으로 분포형 비차등위상차 산정 기술을 적용하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 비차등위상차는 시스템 편차나 우박 등의 영향에서 자유로워 특히 전파강수관측소와 같은 X 밴드 정량강우 추정에서 중요하다. 일반적으로 비차등위상차는 차등위상차에 대한 필터링 기법으로 산출하는데, 이 방법은 약한 강수에 대해 변동성이 크며 지형에코 등에 의해 영향을 크게 받는다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 필터링 기법에 의한 비차등위상차와 분포형 기법을 적용한 비차등위상차에 대해 비교 분석을 하였다. 전파강수관측소 강우 자료를 이용한 분포형 비차등위상차 시험적용 결과 기존 비차등위상차에 비해 정성적으로 우위를 보임을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, studies of 3D HDTV broadcasting technology have been processed actively. Korea is making efforts to modify Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 8-Vestigial Side Band (8-VSB) systems for terrestrial 3D HDTV broadcasting services. We intend to adopt a new frame structure to use PN (Pseudo-Noise) sequence as frame header, and VSB modulation. PN sequence is used to recover carrier freqeuncy offset, carrier phase error. In this paper, we will describe this system as the modified ATSC systems. The receiver of the modified ATSC system should be able to estimate and recover carrier frequency offset exactly. A existing ATSC systems inserts pilot to recover carrier frequency offset, on the other hand the modified ATSC systems use PN sequence to recovery carrier frequency offset without the use of pilot. In this paper, we introduce carrier frequency recovery (CFR) scheme for the modified ATSC systems. The proposed CFR scheme is composed of coarse CFR scheme using Fitz algorithm and fine CFR scheme using a simple PN sequence correlation algorithm. And, the symbol information of QAM modulated signal is contained in both In-phase (I)channel and Quadrature-phase (Q)channel. However the symbol information of VSB modulated signal is contained in I channel, and Q channel is just Hilbert transform of I channel. For the reason, VSB modulated symbols can not have fixed phase like QAM modulated symbols, and VSB modulated symbols is more sensitive to carrier frequency offset. Therefore we perform phase correction of received PN sequence to improve performance.

In order to establish eLoran system it needs the betterment of a receiver and a transmitter, the add of data channel to loran pulse for loran system information and the differential Loran for compensating Loran-c signal. Precise ASF database map is essential if the Loran delivers the high absolute accuracy of navigation demanded at maritime harbor entrance. In this study we developed the ASF mapping method using predicted ASFs compensated by the measured ASFs for maritime in the harbor. Actual ASF is measured by the legacy Loran signal transmitted from Pohang station in the GRI 9930 chain. We measured absolute propagation delay between the Pohang transmitting station and the measurement points by comparing with the cesium clock for the calculation of the ASFs. Monteath model was used for the irregular terrain along the propagation path in the Yeongil Bay. We measured the actual ASFs at the 12 measurement points over the Yeongil Bay. In our ASF-mapping method we estimated that the each offsets between the predicted and the measured ASFs at the 12 spaced points in the Yeongil. We obtained the ASF map by adjusting the predicted ASF results to fit the measured ASFs over Yeungil bay.

The Riemann's zeta function $\zeta(s)$ has been known as answer for a number of primes $\pi$(x) less than given number x. In prime number theorem, there are another approximation function $\frac{x}{lnx}$,Li(x), and R(x). The error about $\pi$(x) is R(x) < Li(x) < $\frac{x}{lnx}$. The logarithmic integral function is Li(x) = $\int_{2}^{x}\frac{1}{lnt}dt$ ~ $\frac{x}{lnx}\sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{k!}{(lnx)^k}=\frac{x}{lnx}(1+\frac{1!}{(lnx)^1}+\frac{2!}{(lnx)^2}+\cdots)$. This paper shows that the $\pi$(x) can be represent with finite Li(x), and presents generalized prime counting function $\sqrt{{\alpha}x}{\pm}{\beta}$. Firstly, the $\pi$(x) can be represent to $Li_3(x)=\frac{x}{lnx}(\sum\limits_{t=0}^{{\alpha}}\frac{k!}{(lnx)^k}{\pm}{\beta})$ and $Li_4(x)=\lfloor\frac{x}{lnx}(1+{\alpha}\frac{k!}{(lnx)^k}{\pm}{\beta})}k\geq2$ such that $0{\leq}t{\leq}2k$. Then, $Li_3$(x) is adjusted by $\pi(x){\simeq}Li_3(x)$ with ${\alpha}$ and error compensation value ${\beta}$. As a results, this paper get the $Li_3(x)=Li_4(x)=\pi(x)$ for $x=10^k$. Then, this paper suggests a generalized function $\pi(x)=\sqrt{{\alpha}x}{\pm}{\beta}$. The $\pi(x)=\sqrt{{\alpha}x}{\pm}{\beta}$ function superior than Riemann's zeta function in representation of prime counting.
