  • Patent number: 8199864
    Abstract: A demodulator for demodulating a digital broadcast signal and a demodulation method thereof. A QPSK demodulator of a digital broadcast reception system includes an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) detector. The I/Q detector generates a baseband I signal and a baseband Q signal by multiplying a modulated QPSK signal by an I/Q carrier signal. A bandwidth adjustable first filter receives the baseband I signal and the baseband Q signal generated by the I/Q detector and rejects imaginary noise included in the received signals. A data restoration unit restores original data before the signals output from the first filter are QPSK modulated.

  • Patent number: 8003481
    Abstract: A method for forming an HSG (hemispherical grain) layer on a storage electrode of a capacitor formed on a substrate is provided. The method includes a step of introducing a source gas into a reacting chamber to deposit a small amount of HSG nuclei on a conductive layer pattern of a capacitor electrode during a step of stabilizing the substrate temperature. After the substrate temperature is stabilized, a larger amount of source gas is introduced into the chamber to form additional HSG nuclei. Thereafter, a step of annealing is performed to form the HSG layer.
