The detector output spectrum is found and the output SNR is then used as a measure of performance. The effect of signal pulse shape, i.e. bandlimiting, on performance is studied. The performance of the fourth-law circuit, compared to that of a square-law device, is better for small excess bandwidth and high input SNR. However, it has a null in performance which depends on the pulse shape and the input SNR.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132068851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clock extraction is accomplished by squaring and then filtering the incoming signal with a narrow bandpass filter tuned to the nominal symbol rate. Phase recovery is achieved by means of a decision-directed loop wherein an error voltage, derived from the signal samples and the decoder decisions, is used to update the current estimate of the carrier phase. The standard of comparison is the performance of the same synchronizers when operating with uncoded signals. The main result is that good codes do not affect the tracking operation of the synchronizers. More generally, sufficient conditions are given for the tracking behavior to be code-independent.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132363329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Taiwan the telephone network has very wide coverage and a large number of users, while the data network has very limited number of subscribers, because they have to possess a terminal. The core of VTM described is a Chinese text-to-speech system which can transform any Chinese text processed in the data network into Mandarin voice for transmission over the telephone network. The telephone network users can key in their instructions such as choice of information, text processing, forward and backward skipping by pressing the touch-tone buttons of the telephone set. The electronic mail and database information services provided by the data network therefore become a portion of the voice mail and message services provided by the telephone network. A large number of telephone network users, even without a terminal, can be served by both networks.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127828045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
