Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design
I enjoyed reading this book for a number of reasons. One reason is that itaddresses high-speed analog design in the context of microwave issues. This isan advanced-level book, which should follow courses in basic circuits andtransmission lines. Most analog i ...
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are widely utilized in laserbased fiberoptic systems to convert optical data intoelectrical form. The APD is usually packaged with a signalconditioning amplifier in a small module. An APD receivermodule and attendant circuitry appears in Figure 1. TheAPD modul ...
As logic systems get larger and more complex, theirsupply current requirements continue to rise. Systemsrequiring 100A are fairly common. A high current powersupply to meet such requirements usually requires parallelingseveral power regulators to alleviate the thermalstress on the individ ...
Photomultipliers (PMT), avalanche photodiodes (APD),ultrasonic transducers, capacitance microphones, radiationdetectors and similar devices require high voltage,low current bias. Additionally, the high voltage must bepristinely free of noise; well under a millivolt is a commonrequirement ...
The C500 microcontroller family usually provides only one on-chip synchronous serialchannel (SSC). If a second SSC is required, an emulation of the missing interface mayhelp to avoid an external hardware solution with additional electronic components.The solution presented in this paper and in the a ...
Abstract: When people want portable music, they usually rely on battery-powered audio devices. With a bit of engineeringblood (or curiosity) running in your veins, it is not difficult to build a wireless Bluetooth® stereo audio system that can becontrolled with any device that has a Bluetooth ...
Applying power to a standard logic chip, SRAM, or EPROM, usually results in output pinstracking the applied voltage as it rises. Programmable logic attempts to emulate that behavior,but physics forbids perfect emulation, due to the device programmability. It requires care tospecify the pin behavio ...
Knowledge of the process noise covariance matrix
is essential for the application of Kalman filtering. However,
it is usually a difficult task to obtain an explicit expression of
for large time varying systems. This paper looks at an adaptive
Kalman filter method for dynamic harmonic state estimatio ...
This paper deals with the problem of speech enhancement when a
corrupted speech signal with an additive colored noise is the only
information available for processing. Kalman filtering is known as
an effective speech enhancement technique, in which speech signal
is usually modeled as autoregressive ...
