We propose a new frequency offset estimation technique for multiband orthogonal frequency modulation (MB-OFDM) based ultra wideband (UWB) systems. The proposed frequency offset estimation technique is related to the scheme of Schmidl for channel model 1 (4-1Om NLOS, rms. delay =14.3ns.) using more than two symbols and with alternate symbols. Variance of frequency offset estimate obtained from the proposed frequency offset estimation technique approaches very nearing to Cramer Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) in an AWGN channel. BER performance of the proposed technique is also presented.

An offset problem caused by the static parasitic capacitors is analyzed and then some techniques to reduce their effect on the capacitive position sensor are presented. Also new offset compensation technique is proposed that by adjusting the magnitudes of the modulating signals independently, the charge imbalance between electrodes caused by the parasitic capacitors is eliminated without sensor gain variation. Simulation results are given to validate the proposed compensation technique.

This paper proposes a new frequency offset correction technique for OFDM receivers on a frequency-selective fading channel. The frequency offset in the OFDM signals is known to introduce an interchannel interference among the multiple subcarriers, which degrades the receiver performance severely. In order to reduce the frequency offset, this paper describes an algorithm with two stages: acquisition and tracking. At both stages the algorithm oversamples the received OFDM signals. At the acquisition stage the frequency offset is reduced to half or less than the intercarrier spacing by matching the sign patterns of even and odd samples. Next, at tracking stage the frequency offset is compensated by a frequency detector which is controlled by the correlation of the even and odd sample sets. From the results, it is found that the proposed algorithm can correct the frequency offset even if the initial offset exceeds one half of th eintercairrers spacing.

This paper proposes a new technique for frequency offset correction for OFDM systems on a frequency selective fading channel. Frequency offset in OFDM introduces interchannel interference among the multiple subcarriers of OFDM signal. To compensate the interference, this paper describes an algorithm with two stages:acquisition and tracking. At both stages, the proposed algorithm oversamples the received OFDM signal to obtain a couple of demodulated symbol sets. At acquisition stage the frequency offset is reduced to half or less of the intercarrier spacings by matching the sign pattern of each element of the sets. Next, at tracking stage the frequency offset is corrected with a frequency detector which is controlled by the correlation of the two sets. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can correct the frequency offset in the event of uncertainty in the initial offset that exceeds one half of the intercarrier spacing. In addition, the proposed algorithm is robust to transmitted symbols and channel characteristics by using oversampled symbol sets.

주파수 옵셋은 OFDM 신호의 부채널간 간섭을 유발하며, 수신 신호의 진폭과 위상을 왜곡시켜 전체적인 시스템 성능에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 주파수 옵셋을 추정하기 위해서 특정 부채널을 동기채널로 할당하고 파일럿 심벌을 전송하여 주파수 옵셋을 추정하는 개선된 최우 추정 방식을 제안하며, 제안된 주파수 옵셋 추정기의 오차 성능을 해석적으로 유도한다. 제안된 방식에서는 coherent 위상 변화에 의해 발생된 주파수 옵셋 부분을 증가 시키고 랜덤 위상 오차에 의해 발생된 주파수 옵셋 부분을 감소시킴으로써 주파수 옵셋 추정기의 성능을 향상시킨다. 모의 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서, 해석적으로 유도된 제안된 주파수 옵셋 추정기의 오차 분산의 upper bound가 올바르며, 제안된 추정기가 기존의 방식에 비해 오차 분산, 추적 범위, 시변 채널 영향의 면에서 우수하다는 것을 확인한다.

본 논문에서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) 기반의 무선 LAN 시스템을 위한 새로운 심볼 옵셋 추정기법을 제안한다. OFDM 심볼에 심볼간 간섭(Inter-Symbol Interference: ISI)과 채널간 간섭(Inter-Channel Interference: ICI)이 없는 경우 추정된 채널의 임펄스 응답은 심볼 옵셋만큼 순환 이동한다. 전형적인 다중경로 무선채널의 전력 지연 프로파일은 지수적 감소 함수로 모델링 할 수 있으며 대부분의 에너지가 임펄스 응답의 앞부분에 주로 집중된다. 제안된 기법은 이러한 성질을 이용하여 먼저 심볼 옵셋만큼 순환 이동된 다중 경로 채널의 임펄스 응답을 추정한 후 유한 길이의 이동 윈도우를 사용하여 임펄스 응답의 부분 평균 전력을 구한다. 그리고, 부분 평균 전력 중에서 최대값을 갖는 이동 윈도우의 인덱스로부터 심볼 옵셋을 추정한다. 제안된 기법은 임펄스 응답의 추정 과정에서 잡음의 영향을 감소시키고, ISI와 ICI를 제거시키며 최소의 오버헤드를 얻기 위해 반복적 구조의 훈련 신호를 사용한다. 실내 무선 채널 모델에서의 모의실험을 통해 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증한다.

In this paper, we describe a chip design technique for instrumentation amplifier using a nested-chopping technique. Conventional chopping technique uses a pair of chopper, but nested chopping technique uses two pairs of chopper to reduce residual offset and 1/f noise. The inner chopper pair removes the 1/f noise, while the outer chopper pair reduces the residual offset. Our instrumentation amplifier using a nested chopping technique has residual offset under 100 nV. We also implement very low frequency filter. Since this filter needs very large RC time constant, we use a technique named 'diode connected PMOS' to increase R with small die area. The total power consumption is 3.1 mW at the supply voltage of 3.3V with the 0.35um general CMOS technology. The die area of implemented chip was $530um{\times}300um$.

In this paper, we present a rotating auto-zeroing offset cancellation technique, which can improve the performance of touch screen sensing circuits. Our target touch screen detection method employs multiple continuous sine waves to achieve a high speed for large touch screens. While conventional auto-zeroing schemes cannot handle such continuous signals properly, the proposed scheme does not suffer from switching noise and provides effective offset cancellation for continuous signals. Experimental results show that the proposed technique improves the signal-to-noise ratio by 14 dB compared to a conventional offset cancellation scheme. For the realistic simulation results, we used Cadence SPECTRE with an accurate TSP model and noise source. We also applied an asymmetric device size (10% MOS size mismatch) to the OP Amp design in order to measure the effectiveness of offset cancellation. We implemented the proposed circuit as part of a touch screen controller system-on-chip by using a Magnachip/SK Hynix 0.18-µm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process.

본 논문에서는 OFDM/M-ary PSK 시스템의 BER 성능을 반송파 주파수 오프셋을 고려하여 분석하였고, 부호화와 변조를 동시에 행할 수 있는 TCM 기법을 OFDM/M-ary PSK시스템에 적용하여 반송파 주파수 오프셋에 따른 성능 열화를 보상하였다. 성능 해석 결과, 주파수 오프셋이 커짐에 따라 OFDM/M-ary PSK 시스템의 성능이 열화 됨을 알 수 있었고, 10 dB의 Eb/No로 $BER= 10^{-3}$ 을 달성하기 위해서는 주파수 오프셋을 0.025이하로 제한해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 음성 서비스 ($BER= 10^{-3}$)를 목표로 하는 경우 TCM 기법을 적용함으로써 약 4 dB의 성능 개선이 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient technique to minimize the input offset of a dynamic latch comparator. We analyzed offset due to charge injection mismatching and unwanted positive feedback during sampling phase. The last one was only considered in the previous works. Based on the analysis, we proposed a modified dynamic latch with initialization switch. The proposed circuit was simulated using 0.65$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process parameter with 5v supply. The simulation results showed that the input offset is less than 5mv at 200㎒ sampling frequency and the input offset is improved about 80% compared with previous work in 5k$\Omega$ input resistance.
