The VCOs, based on an NMOS and a complementary structure, are designed to operate in a wide band frequency range suited for future multi-standard WLAN radios. The comparisons are carried out from the perspectives of tuning range, power dissipation and phase noise. The results, which are based on simulations, show that both circuits are applicable for the targeted operation band of 4.5-6.5 GHz, while the complementary VCO shows less power consumption and lower phase noise levels.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

This method is based on an application of existing blind source separation (BSS) algorithms to the detection of the signals in OFDM system with multiple transmit-and-receive antenna, where the transmission can be treated as a set of instantaneous mixtures from the frequency bin (FB) viewpoint. Although the BSS algorithm can successfully separate different user signals at FB level, the permutation indeterminacy nature of BSS algorithm hinder the signal recomposition from the separated signals. A method taking advantage of the statistic characteristics of the transmitted signals is proposed to overcome these obstacles. Also the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

In this paper, a novel predictive coding approach is proposed for images with quantized colors. In this approach, the prediction error is not an index number difference between an original color and its predicted color, but a value called as \"pseudo distance\" which is related to the Euclidian distance between these two colors in the 3-D color space. As the pseudo distance is small when the predicted color is perceptually close to the original color, the distribution of the pseudo distance is peak-like resulting in low entropy. Preliminary computer simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the index based linear prediction.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

Mechanisms to contain these types of attacks depend on rapid and effective detection of their existence, which corresponds to anomalous network traffic behavior. These behaviors are typically associated with denial of service, probing, and buffer overflow attacks. We present a model called conversation exchange dynamics (CED) and analyze its ability to detect network anomalies by observing anomalous packets amongst traffic generated in a controlled test environment. We present configuration issues and show the successful ability of this model to detect anomalous packets and even network attacks that exhibit behavior pathologies similar to network worms.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

We have suggested the possible design tradeoff between transition band bandwidth and the ripple size of the subband subband filter and/or the reconstruction error.
