Adaptive sequence estimation is an equalization procedure used to minimize the effect of severe intersymbol interference in frequency selective fading channels. Unfortunately, conventional adaptive methods suffer from substantial performance degradations under fast channel variations. A new approach to the adaptive sequence estimation problem is considered. A model for a combined channel and sequence estimation (CCSE) is proposed and used to present viable solutions which provide significant improvements in error performance. An analysis of the pairwise distances in the framework of CCSE is also presented, Finally, computer simulation results supporting the theoretical analysis and demonstrating the superiority of the new approach over conventional methods in fast fading channels are presented.

This paper presents for the first time a detailed experimental investigation of gate current limitation effects on power GaAs FETs RF performances. This gate current limitation is entirely accomplished by dynamic compensation of the gate bias voltage. Effects of this current limitation on power added efficiency and output power performance have been examined through an extensive experimental investigation over the entire Smith chart. Comprehensive results are given and allow to determine the optimal resistor value needed for the gate current limitation. The thermal runaway problem is also taken into consideration when selecting the gate resistor.< >

The input average power and peak power for different numbers of multiple channels are estimated for power amplifiers operated in CDMA-based PCS down-link transmitters. Multiple QPSK spread spectrum signals have been simulated, using SPW software (signal processing worksystem). The simulation results for N/spl les/64 are given. The obtained dynamic range requirements are useful for linear power amplifiers designed for CDMA-PCS application.

A new current-mode 2-bit pipelined ADC's cell is presented. Its potential advantages are high-speed, low power/voltage, continuous time mode conversion, less circuit complexity and less die area. A novel cell circuitry based on current-mode has been designed. Primary results of HSPICE simulation show that an 8-bit resolution under 5-V single supply with 100 kHz sinusoidal input is achievable.

A novel all-digital clock and data separator (DCDS) using a CMOS 1.2 /spl mu/m process is described. The DCDS is intended for an implantable bladder controller and can be used as a standard block for any programmable implanted prosthesis. All components used are digital and therefore unlike analog or hybrid decoders, the presented DCDS is not sensitive to fluctuating process parameters and can operate with different values of power supply. The proposed architecture is very simple and has been designed for low power that is an important parameter for implantable devices. A digital delay line provides the timing reference for the decoder with a programmable resolution. The DCDS meets the jitter-tolerance requirements and satisfies the exigency demand of implanted devices.

This paper presents a new high current low voltage AC/DC power converter family using T connected transformers and nonconventional zigzag series connection of the primary windings. Six, 12, 18 and 24 pulses have been theoretically analyzed and simulated with EMTP package. Experimental results confirm the analytical and simulation results. Due to its simplicity and the absence of interphase transformers, the 12-pulse power converter appears to be a very attractive alternative to more conventional configurations, especially for urban transit applications.

The article discusses the performance of a finite-width image plane in the shielding of an electric line source. The effect on the shielding effectiveness of a metallic substrate and superstrate laid under and above the line source and image plane is studied in detail. The results are obtained by solving the electric-field integral equation with the point matching method for the case of two-dimensional geometry. For the 30 cm-wide image plane used in the simulations, it is shown that over the 30-1000 MHz frequency band, a narrow strip can reduce the maximum radiated electric field by about 25 dB when the line source is centered over the image plane. Without the strip, the maximum radiated field can increase by up to 12 dB when the source is moved from the center to the edge of the image plane. A noteworthy effect obtained by the addition of the strip on top of the edge-positioned line source is a 14 dB reduction of the maximum radiated field. This fully compensates for the 12 dB increase obtained by moving the strip-less line source from the center to the edge of the image plane.

In this paper the performance of convolutional decoding over fading channels is explored, The decoding algorithm used are the Viterbi and bidirectional algorithms. By estimating a "decoder weight spectrum" for the decoder, an "equivalent free distance" may be observed. Furthermore, using this "decoder weight spectrum" useful estimations of the error probabilities are obtained and compared to computer simulation results in the case of very slow and very fast fading. The resultant curves are shown to be very tightly related.

The effects of a partial isotropic dielectric overlay on the isolation, coupling, and impedance of a microstrip 10-dB coupler are studied. Results as functions of the overlay's width, height, and dielectric constant are presented. It is found that a better coupler design can be achieved through proper choice of these three parameters.

This paper presents a free-space reflectometer that has been developed to measure surface impedance of planar materials in the Ku-band (12.5 to 18 GHz). The set-up uses a microwave lens made of metal plates to create an equiphase wavefront arriving at normal incidence on the sample surface. Thus, the TEM wave assumption can be made to extract the impedance of the sample, which is not the case for other free-space methods using lenses. It also has the advantage of requiring small sample size (17 cm/spl times/17 cm). The system has been validated with plexiglass. The maximal error on the reflection coefficient was 0.02 for the amplitude over the 5.5 GHz bandwidth. The accuracy of the system makes it suitable for shielding effectiveness measurement and characterization of conductive polymers or thin metallic layers.
