Abstract: A video signal recording/reproducing apparatus for recording/reproducing a high resolution video signal wherein the video resolution is enhanced by shifting a carrier frequency to a higher band in frequency modulation in a VCR's video signal recording mode, and by differently setting the frequency characteristics depending on the presence of a color signal in the video signal. The video signal recording/reproducing apparatus results in a highly enhanced resolution of a recording/reproducing video signal by determining use of a color signal trap in an equalizing block and a filter frequency for separating a luminance signal depending on the presence of a color signal in recording/reproducing a video signal after determining whether the color signal is present.

Abstract: An etching end point of a plasma etch is determined by defining an etch-stop condition. A layer formed on a substrate is etched using a plasma. A luminous intensity of the plasma is measured to determine a first luminous intensity. The luminous intensity is measured again after a predetermined time to determine a second luminous intensity. A determination is made whether a disturbance occurs. Compensation is applied to the measured luminous intensity if the disturbance occurs. A determination is made whether the measured luminous intensity or the compensated luminous intensity satisfies the etch stop condition.

Abstract: A physical identification data (PID) addressing method using a wobble signal, a wobble address encoding circuit, a method and circuit for detecting the wobble address and a recording medium therefor. Groove address information indicating physical identification information is phase modulated using a wobble clock signal and recorded in one of the two walls of a groove track, and land address information is phase modulated using a wobble clock signal obtained by shifting the phase of the former wobble clock signal and recorded in the other wall. That is, address information is phase modulated and recorded in each track using the wobbles having a phase difference of 90° between adjacent tracks so that a sum of wobble signals from the adjacent tracks can be a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signal. Therefore, more data can be recorded in the recording medium, and since an interval in which a wobble signal disappears is not caused, recovery of a wobble clock signal can be advantageously performed.
