The improvement in the delay-ANTE quotient is 2.8/spl times/ over conventional dynamic logic, 2.0/spl times/ over the twin-transistor technique and 1.7/spl times/ over Bobba's technique.

This compromise is interesting for applications due to the computational complexity of the optimal method, which in practice prohibits its implementation. Previously, the design of an ECSK scheme had been based on a simplistic criterion, i.e. the maximization of the decision variable's mean. This paper provides a systematic approach to optimizing the receiver of an amplitude modulated implementation of ECSK (AM-ECSK) based on the assumption of a Gaussian decision variable.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

Specifically, models are utilised for behaviour characterisation, simulation of physical devices or to design sub-systems with active and passive solid-state components. Therefore, in this paper, new computer aided tools are presented to model one port immitance data by means of linear interpolation techniques. It is remarkable to observe that complex electrical behaviour of physical devices can be simulated with the models built utilising the linear interpolation of a few properly selected measured immitance data. An antenna example is presented to exhibit the implementation of the proposed techniques. It is expected that the new modelling tools will be employed to provide initial circuit topologies to the commercially available analysis/simulation and design packages.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

The I/O interface of the board is composed of two stereo inputs and two stereo outputs. The prototype was realized in a four layer PCB with SMD components. The layers were designed in order to reduce high frequency effects of digital signals on analog audio signals. The DIGIcar board was tested stand-alone with an Audio Precision System 2022. Experiments were performed inside a car too, where the DIGIcar board was interfaced with a four channel power amplifier and connected between audio source and car loudspeakers. A development tool in MATLAB was exploited to synthesize the suitable equalizing filters given standard car acoustic measurements. Then the filters are stored in the board flash EEPROM. A few options are available to tailor the equalizer for different cars. Listening tests and acoustic measurements show the effectiveness and the functionality of the designed board.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.
