최근 들어 ATSC-DTV의 미래형 핵심기술로 손꼽히고 있는 송신기 식별기술(TxID ; Transmitter Identification)이 새로운 신기술로 대두되고 있으며, 이에 대한 구현성 검증은 현재 활발하게 논의 중인 재생중계기(EDOCR)와 연계된 단일주파수망(SFN; Single Frequency Network)기술의 실용화를 위한 핵심적 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다. 하지만 종래의 TxID기술은 긴 주기의 워터마킹용 확산코드를 사용하므로 수신기 입장에서 하드웨어 부피가 크게 증가되는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TxID 수신기 하드웨어 부피를 크게 경감시킬 수 있는 새로운 Decimated Correlation 기법을 이용한 DTV TxID 수신 신호의 효율적인 신호처리 기법을 제시하였으며, 모의실험을 통한 성능평가를 통해 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we proposed a TxID(Transmitter Identification) system using ZCD (Zero Correlation Duration) code as interference-cancelled spread codes for single frequency network of ATSC terrestrial DTV broadcasting. ZCD codes are simply implemented and have ZCD characteristics. Then, Proposal system can fundamentally solve interference problems caused by ICI(Inter Code Interference) and MPI(Multi-Path Interference) which happens in TxID system using spread coding method. Also, those can cancel truncated error which happens at watermarking for TxID since those can remove its period. In this paper, we identified the availability of TxID system applying interference-cancelled ZCD codes by analyzing DER (Detection Error Rate) which is simulated in various interference environments such as AWGN, ICI, and MPI.

In this paper, we propose an equalization digital on-channel repeater (EDOCR) with a feedback interference canceller (FIC) for single frequency network of the ATSC terrestrial DTV system. The proposed EDOCR with FIC does not have only high output power by cancelling feedback signals caused by insufficient antenna isolation through the FIC, but also shows better quality of output signals than the conventional on-channel repeaters (OCRs) by removing multipath signals existing between the main transmitter and the OCR, and residual feedback signals through an equalizer. In addition, computer simulations are provided to figure out the superior performance of the proposed EDOCR with FIC.

Omeprazole (OMP) is a proton pump inhibitor used as an oral treatment for acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. In the liver, it is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) isoenzymes such as CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. 5-Hyroxyomeprazole (5-OHOMP) and omeprazole sulfone (OMP-SFN) are the two major metabolites of OMP in human. Cimetidine (CMT) inhibits the breakdown of drugs metabolized by CYP450 and reduces, the clearance of coad-ministered drug resulted from both the CMT binding to CYP450 and the decreased hepatic blood flow due to CMT. Phenobarbital (PB) induces drug metabolism in laboratory animals and human. PB induction mainly involves mammalian CYP forms in gene families 2B and 3A. PB has been widely used as a prototype inducer for biochemical investigations of drug metabolism and the enzymes catalyzing this metabolism, as well as for genetic, pharmacological, and toxicological investigations. In order to investigate the influence of CMT and PB on the metabolite kinetics of OMP, we intravenously administered OMP (30 mg/kg) to rats intraperitoneally pretreated with normal saline (5 mL/kg), CMT (100 mg/kg) or PB (75 mg/kg) once a day for four days, and compared the pharmacokinetic parameters of OMP. The systemic clearance ($CL_{t}$) of OMP was significantly (p<0.05) decreased in CMT-pretreated rats and significantly (p<0.05) increased in PB-pretreated rats. These results indicate that CMT inhibits the OMP metabolism due to both decreased hepatic blood flow and inhibited enzyme activity of CYP2C19 and 3A4 and that PB increases the OMP metabolism due to stimulation of the liver blood flow and/or bile flow, due not to induction of the enzyme activity of CYP3A4.

In this paper we propose Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques for the Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater(EDOCR) in the ATSC digital TV (DTV) System. DSP techniques consist of demodulation. baseband equalization, and remodulation. Since the time delay caused by signal processing in the EDOCR can seriously affect the performance of ATSC legacy receivers, it is required that the processing time should be minimized as much as possible. To achieve this goal, we focus on the reduction of the EDOCR's time delay with the minimization of its performance degradation. In addition, we present recommended proper parameters for hardware implementation based on extensive simulation result.
