Abstract:
A device and a method for measuring signal properties are provided to detect signal properties based on level information of a Viterbi detector in an optical disk, thereby calculating an exact asymmetrical index and an exact modulation factor. An RF signal(10) is converted into a digital signal by an analog to digital converter(110). DC components of the converted digital signal are compensated by a DC offset compensator(120). An output signal(131) of an equalizer(130) is channel-decoded by a Viterbi decoder(140), to obtain a binary signal(141). A channel identifier(170) receives an output signal(202) of the Viterbi decoder(140) and an input signal(111) of the equalizer(130), and detects an appropriate level value(203) to be used as a reference level of the Viterbi decoder(140). An information calculator(150) receives the detected level value(203), and calculates an asymmetrical index and a modulation factor.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device and a method for detecting binary data are provided to detect a level value for Viterbi decoding from a digital signal if at least more than two binary data values are identical, thereby more exactly detecting binary data from an analog signal. CONSTITUTION: An ADC(11) converts an inputted analog signal into a digital signal. At least one binarizer(13,15) converts the digital signal into binary data. A Viterbi decoder(16) performs a Viterbi decoding process, and detects the binary data from the digital signal. A level detector(18) receives at least more than two binary data among the digital signal, the outputted binary data of the Viterbi decoder(16) or the outputted binary data of the binarizers(13,15), and detects a level value for Viterbi decoding from the digital signal if at least more than two binary data values are identical, then outputs the detected level value.

PURPOSE: A PLL device and a method of a disk driver are provided to supply a PLL which does not consider a phase error for a reproduction signal having the shortest period of a disk or a period near to the shortest period in consideration of code features of the disk, thereby realizing a high disk recording density. CONSTITUTION: A period checker(203) checks a period of a signal reproduced from a disk. A phase detector(201) detects a phase difference between the reproduction signal and a system clock signal, and outputs the detected phase difference as a phase error. A loop filter(205) outputs a voltage corresponding to the phase error. A transmission processor(204) processes whether to transmit an output of the phase detector(201) to the loop filter(205) by the signal outputted from the period checker(203).

The system records an NRZI signal of the user data according to the first recording method while recording an NRZI signal of the additional information data according to the second recording method(430).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A signal reproducing method for compensating a channel distortion and a device therefor are provided to detect a section having the most errors for signals to be reproduced, and to calculate a distortion amount in the detected section to perform error correction, so as to reduce complexity of hardware and software and enhance correctness in error correction. CONSTITUTION: A maximum error generating area is decided from signals(y(k)) passing a channel(600). Whether the multiplication of signals y(n) and y(n-1) at two sampling points is not more than 0(zero) is decided to detect level transition(602). If so, level transition is decided to be generated and a transition frequency is checked(604). If the transition frequency is not more than a predetermined frequency(j), a predetermined reference signal is modeled(606). If the transition frequency is more than (j), a value adding a previously calculated final distortion amount to the reference signal calculated as in the 606 step is set as a reference signal(608). Plural error paths are detected for the signals of a maximum error generating area(610). Differences between signals in each error path and the reference signal coinciding with a level transition direction of the error paths are calculated, and an error path having the smallest absolute value from the differences is detected as an optimum error path(612). If the transition frequency is less than (j), an absolute value of a difference between an optimum error path signal and the reference signal is stored as a distortion amount(614). If the transition frequency is equal to (j), distortion amounts stored in the 614 step and current distortion amounts are added and averaged to calculate a final distortion amount(616). Error correction is performed for signals on the optimum error path(618). And the error-corrected signals are restored to original signals(620).
