A digital readout IC for capacitive sensors is presented. Digital capacitance readout circuits suffer from static capacitance of sensors, especially single-ended sensors, and require large passive elements to cancel such DC offset signal. For this reason, to maximize a dynamic range with a small die area, the proposed circuit features digital filters having a coarse and fine compensation steps. Moreover, by employing switched-capacitor circuit for the front-end, correlated double sampling (CDS) technique can be adopted to minimize low-frequency device noise. The proposed circuit targeted 8-kHz signal bandwidth and oversampling ratio (OSR) of 64, thus a $3^{rd}$-order ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator operating at 1 MH was used for pulse-density-modulated (PDM) output. The proposed IC was designed in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS mixed-mode process, and occupied $0.86{\times}1.33mm^2$. The measurement results shows suppressed DC power under about -30 dBFS with minimized device flicker noise.

This paper investigates the design and performance of a digital on-channel repeater (DOCR) for use in Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) digital television (DTV) broadcasting. The main drawback of a DOCR is the echo interference caused by coupling between transmitter and receiver antennas, which induces system instability and performance degradation. In order to overcome this problem, an echo canceller based on the adaptive echo channel estimation (ECE) technique has been researched and applied for a DOCR. However, in the case of ATSC, the pilot signal, which is used for carrier synchronization, may cause a DC offset error and reduce the isolation performance of the echo canceller for a DOCR in an ATSC network. Moreover, since the multipath fading effect of a radio channel usually occurs in a real environment, it should be minimized to improve the overall performance of a DOCR. Therefore, due to the limited isolation performance of echo canceller and the multipath fading effect, an interference cancellation system (ICS) is proposed for a DOCR in an ATSC network. The performance of the proposed DOCR with an ICS is evaluated by software simulation and hardware test results.

본 논문에서는 타이밍 오프셋 보상을 위한 위상 전 왜곡 기법, 파일럿 성분 추정과 제거를 위한 직류 제거기, 송수신 신호 사이의 상관도를 기반으로 귀환 신호의 지연 시간을 추정하는 기법을 이용한 DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting)용 간섭 제거 기반 동일 채널 중계기를 제안하고, 이를 ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee)시스템에 적용한다. 제안한 간섭 제거 기반의 동일 채널 중계기는 주송신 신호보다 간섭 신호가 더 큰 환경에서의 간섭 제거 능력이 확인되었으며, 이에 따라 중계기의 송출 능력의 개선, 짧은 처리 지연 시간과 더불어 양호한 신호 품질이 얻어짐을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인한다.
