The present disclosure relates to a channel estimation method of a wireless communication device. The channel estimation method includes descrambling a pilot signal having a unit symbol, dividing the descrambled pilot signal, and estimating a channel value of the wireless communication device. The descrambled pilot signal may be divided into a plurality of frequency resources with a first frequency resource and a second frequency resource and generating a first signal chunk with the first frequency resource and a second signal chunk with the second frequency resource. The channel value of the wireless communication device may be estimated based on the first signal chunk and the second signal chunk.

A semiconductor device includes an active pattern protruding from a substrate, a gate structure crossing over the active pattern, and source/drain regions disposed on the active pattern at opposite sides of the gate structure. Each of the source/drain regions includes a first epitaxial pattern contacting the active pattern and a second epitaxial pattern on the first epitaxial pattern. The first epitaxial pattern comprises a material having a lattice constant which is the same as that of the substrate, and the second epitaxial pattern comprises a material having a lattice constant greater than that of the first epitaxial pattern.

Semiconductor memory device

A nonvolatile memory device includes resistive memory devices in a three-dimensional structure. A block select circuit generates a block select signal for selecting a memory block. In response to the block select signal, local word line selection units connected to each memory block connect global word lines connected to a word line decoder and local word lines, and local bit line selection units connected to each memory block connect global bit lines connected to a sense amplifier and local bit lines. Each memory block includes local word lines which extend in a first direction and are stacked in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on a second plane perpendicular to a first plane. Local bit lines extend in the second direction to cross local word lines. Memory cells are formed at cross-points where local word lines and local bit lines cross one another.
