The Rapid Prototyping of Application-Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) [1.3] program of the US Department of Defense (ARPA and Tri-Services) targets a 4X improvement in the design, prototyping, manufacturing, and support processes (relative to current practice). Based on a current practice study (1.93) [4], the prototyping time from system requirements definition to production and deployment, of multiboard signal processors, is between 37 and 73 months. Out of this time, 25-49 months is devoted to detailed hardware/software (HW/SW) design and integration (with 1.-24 months devoted to the latter task of integration). With the utilization of a promising top-down hardware-less codesign methodology based on VHDL models of HW/SW components at multiple abstractions, reduction in design time has been shown especially in the area of hardware/software integration [5]. The authors describe a top-down design approach in VHDL starting with the capture of system requirements in an executable form and through successive stages of design refinement, ending with a detailed hardware design. This hardware/software codesign process is based on the RASSP program design methodology called virtual prototyping, wherein VHDL models are used throughout the design process to capture the necessary information to describe the design as it develops through successive refinement and review. Examples are presented to illustrate the information captured at each stage in the process. Links between stages are described to clarify the flow of information from requirements to hardware.

A synthesis procedure for asynchronous control circuits from a high level specification, signal transition graph (STG), is described. In this paper, we propose some syntactic constraints on STG to guarantee speed-independent implementation. We have introduced a global persistency concept in order to establish the relationship between the persistency concept introduced by Chu [2] (which we call local persistncy) and the consistent state coding (CSC). The STG syntactic constraints required to compute the input set of a signal are identified. This paper also describes an algorithm to ascertain whether a given STG has the CSC property. The algorithm identifies the non-persistent signals associated with the CSC violations. The algorithm has the advantage of operating directly on the STG rather than on the state graph.

An attempt is made to understand, quantify, and reduce the reflectance and photocurrent loss in CdTe solar cells. Model calculations are performed to determine the optimum thicknesses of CdS and SnO2 films and anti-reflection (AR) coating on glass that can minimize the reflectance and enhance the performance of CdTe/CdS/SnO2/glass solar cells. Photocurrent loss due to absorption in CdS films is also calculated as a function of CdS thickness. It was found that the current loss due to reflectance and absorption is more sensitive to the CdS film when its thickness falls below 1.00angstrom. Model calculations show that reducing the CdS thickness from 1.00 to 600angstrom increases short-circuit current density (J(sc)) by 3 mA/cm2 because of reduced reflectance as well as absorption. Further decrease in CdS thickness below 600angstrom increases reflectance but results in higher J(cs), because current gain due to reduced absorption in thin CdS offsets the current loss due to higher reflectance. Model calculations also indicate that J(sc) is not sensitive to SnO2 thickness above 4000angstrom. Finally, an optimum thickness for single layer MgF2 AR coating on glass was calculated to be 1.00angstrom, which should provide an additional increase of 0.7 mA/cm2 in J(sc). Some of these results are also experimentally validated in this paper.

The theory and applications of an imaginary robot model with a double-PI) control law for redundant robotic systems are presented. The imaginary robot model is based on a special Riemannian metric decomposition for general nonlinear dynamic systems. This model offers an effective way for reducing nonlinear feedback formulation while preserving the linearized system equation. The developed procedure is also applicable to redundant robots- A three-dimensional redundant robot main-frame having three revolute joints plus a prismatic joint is used in the paper to illustrate the design procedure based on the imaginary robot model with the double-PD control scheme. The entire dynamic control algorithm is also verified by a simulation study on the four-joint three-dimensional robot arm.

In this paper, we discuss some issues relevant to frequency and direction of arrival (DOA) tracking problems. First, we develop a linear Frequency Modulated (FM) signal model for accurately describing windowed, slowly time varying narrowband signals that typically occur in tracking problems. We then derive first order bias expressions for the peak locations of a Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) spectrum of a windowed, slowly time varying linear FM signal. We also show that Forward-Backward (FB) averaging is generally inappropriate for nonstationary data, but that it is appropriate when applied to tracking the frequencies of windowed, slowly time varying narrowband signals. A major motivation for using FB averaging is to increase the efficiency of subspace based frequency/DOA estimation in tracking problems. Finally, simulations confirm our first order bias expressions, and show that FB averaging does not significantly alter (or degrade) the time varying MUSIC based frequency estimation performance over that of Forward only averaging.
