In this paper, an efficient prediction-based parallel simulation method using spatially partial simulation strategy is proposed for improving both the performance of the event-driven gate-level timing simulation and the debugging efficiency. The proposed method quickly generates the prediction data on-the-fly, but still accurately for the input values and output values of parallel event-driven local simulations by applying the strategy to the simulation at the higher abstraction level. For those six designs which had used for the performance evaluation of the proposed strategy, our method had shown about 3.7x improvement over the most general sequential event-driven gate-level timing simulation, 9.7x improvement over the commercial multi-core based parallel event-driven gate-level timing simulation, and 2.7x improvement over the best of previous prediction-based parallel simulation results, on average.

As a power transmission element, the timing belt is a toothed transmission belt that takes advantages of V-belts and gears. It has characteristics of non-slip and low noise. It is used as a power transmission device when transmitting power from a rotating shaft or linear motion in a mechanism. Rotation can be accurately transmitted through a belt pulley with grooves like a gear and a timing belt with grooves to precisely match with the belt pulley. In particular, in the mechanism in which the timing belt is used for the output shaft, the dynamic characteristics including the rigidity of the timing belt determine the transmission characteristics of the system, so its importance increases. In this paper, a stiffness reinforced belt that can be applied to a timing belt with a limited range of motion to increase its stiffness is proposed. To study the dynamic characteristics of the stiffness reinforced belt, the equation of motion for the stiffness reinforced belt was established, and a simulation model for the stiffness reinforced belt was created and analyzed. In order to confirm the analysis results of the motion equation and simulation model, a 1-axis rotation experimental equipment using a stiffness reinforcing belt was developed and the experiment was conducted. Through motion equations, simulation models, and experiment results, it was confirmed that the stiffness and dynamic characteristics of the timing belt could be improved by applying the proposed stiffness reinforcement belt.

본 논문에서는 VSB 수신기를 위한 반송파 위상 오차에 독립적인 심벌 타이밍 옵셋 추정 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 심벌 타이밍 옵셋 추정에 대표적인 알고리즘인 가드너 방법은 반송파 위상 옵셋이 포함된 VSB 수신기에서는 타이밍 옵셋을 추정할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 수신신호의 공액 곱 연산을 통하여 신호의 스펙트럼을 확장하고 반송파 위상 옵셋을 상쇄 하였고, 그 후 가드너 알고리즘을 통하여 인접 스펙트럼 간의 중복부분을 발생시켜, 타이밍 옵셋을 추정하는 방식을 연구하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안하는 알고리즘은 VSB 수신기에서 반송파 위상 오차에 영향을 받지 않고, 정확하게 타이밍 옵셋을 추정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, an efficient prediction accuracy enhancement strategy is proposed for improving the performance of the prediction-based parallel event-driven gate-level timing simulation. The proposed new strategy adopts the static double prediction and the dynamic prediction for input and output values of local simulations. The double prediction utilizes another static prediction data for the secondary prediction once the first prediction fails, and the dynamic prediction tries to use the on-going simulation result accumulated dynamically during the actual parallel simulation execution as prediction data. Therefore, the communication overhead and synchronization overhead, which are the main bottleneck of parallel simulation, are maximally reduced. Throughout the proposed two prediction enhancement techniques, we have observed about 5x simulation performance improvement over the commercial parallel multi-core simulation for six test designs.

In this paper, we propose an alternative carrier phase independent timing recovery method for VSB receivers. The Gardner algorithm may not estimate a timing offset in VSB systems when the residual carrier phase offset is contained in the signal. We use the conjugate multiplication of received signals for cancelling out the carrier phase offset. Then Gardner algorithm is employed for extracting the spectral line. The proposed method generates a consistent timing error even in the presence of the carrier phase offset.

In this paper, we introduce the performance of improved symbol timing detection by the superposed difference type symbol timing detection method in the OFDM system. Also, we represent the maximum detection probability of symbol synchronization timing at each received delay signal in multipath channel delay profile in the correlation and difference type symbol timing detection methods. The computer simulation results show that the correlation symbol timing detection method have maximum detection probability at the lead of the nth received delay signal of highest amplitude, but the difference type symbol timing detection method always have maximum detection probability at the lead of the first received delay signal in the channel delay spread of $70nsec{\sim}217nsec$. The simulation results indicate the possibility of the perfect detection of OFDM symbol synchronization timing and it fit well with the results of improved S/N to the eb/n0 and the performance of symbol timing detection of the proposed method.

In this paper, we represent the maximum detection probability formulas of symbol synchronization timing at each received delay signal in multipath channel delay profile in the multiplied correlation and difference type correlated symbol synchronization timing detection method. The computer simulation results show that the correlation symbol timing detection method have maximum detection probability at the lead of received delay signal of highest amplitude, but the difference type of correlation symbol timing detection method always have maximum detection probability at the lead of first received delay signal in the multipath channel models. Using this results, we show the BER characteristics difference between the IEEE802.11a OFDM signals which is obtained in case of the symbol synchronization timing is taken at zero error(perfect) timing position and at -1 sample error symbol timing position from perfect timing position in the multipath channel models regardless the length of channel delay spread.

In this paper, we analyze the STO (Symbol Timing Offset) problem in conventional ZP-OFDM (Zero Padding-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems and propose a robust ZP-OFDM system with bi-directional overlap-add scheme to overcome the problem. The proposed ZP-OFDM system is able to preserve the orthogonality between subcarriers and reduce the interference from other ZP-OFDM symbols due to the BOA scheme, which exploits both ZP intervals of the previous and the current ZP-OFDM symbols, even though serious STOs result from inaccurate symbol timing synchronization. Simulation results verify that the proposed ZP-OFDM system is superior to the conventional ZP-OFDM system.

We investigate the design of an interpolation filter of a MF-TDMA demodulator which is applied to DVB-RCS. If sampling is not synchronized to the data symbols, timing adjustment in digital receiver must be performed by interpolation. It is impossible that conventional sinc interpolation filter coefficients are actually extended to infinity. We propose a Kaiser window interpolation filter and a sinc interpolation filter using th Kaiser window. Simulation results show that the performance improvement is realized by employing the proposed interpolation filter.
