Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for detecting a frequency offset in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. The method includes determining a first frequency index based on autocorrelation values calculated according to a frequency index for a pilot signal of a received symbol, accumulating the autocorrelation values calculated according to the frequency index for the pilot signal of the received symbol depending on a symbol count, and determining a second frequency index based on the accumulated autocorrelation values, and determining at least one of the first frequency index and the second frequency as a frequency offset according to channel quality.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for estimating a coarse carrier frequency offset in an OFDM receiver are provided, in which an Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) unit performs FFT for a received signal over one symbol duration and outputs a previously known signal included in the FFT signal, a correlation value calculator evaluates autocorrelation values of the previously known signal for plural candidate offsets, an accumulator accumulates the autocorrelation values to the autocorrelation values evaluated over a previous symbol duration, and a maximum value selector selects first and second maximum values of the autocorrelation values. A threshold tester compares a ratio between the first and second maximum values with a predetermined threshold, and determines a candidate offset corresponding to the first maximum value as the coarse carrier frequency offset if the ratio is less than the threshold. Otherwise, the threshold tester instructs the FFT unit to receive a signal over a next symbol duration.

Abstract:
A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery comprises a lithium salt and an organic solvent. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution further comprises a specific siloxane compound and a sulfonate compound. This non-aqueous electrolyte solution solves the capacity degradation phenomenon, which appears in a lithium secondary battery using a non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing only a specific siloxane compound when the lithium secondary battery is used for a long time, so this non-aqueous electrolyte solution is especially useful for high-capacity batteries.

Abstract:
A separator includes a non-woven fabric substrate having pores, fine thermoplastic powder located inside the pores of the non-woven fabric substrate, and a porous coating layer disposed on at least one surface of the non-woven fabric substrate. The fine thermoplastic powder has an average diameter smaller than that of the pores and a melting point lower than the melting or decomposition point of the non-woven fabric substrate. The porous coating layer includes a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer whose melting point is higher than the melting or decomposition point of the fine thermoplastic powder. In the porous coating layer, the inorganic particles are fixedly connected to each other by the binder polymer and the pores are formed by interstitial volumes between the inorganic particles. Previous filling of the large pores of the non-woven fabric substrate with the fine thermoplastic powder makes the porous coating layer uniform.
