Previous attempts, including thermal adjustment, etalon based wavelength locking, and various types of optical frequency and phase locked loops such as the Pound-Drever-Hall technique suffer from weaknesses including sensitivity to noise at their zero crossings and non-signed error signals which require calibrated differential receivers. In this paper, we describe a new servocontrol circuit technique for wavelength locked feedback loops which overcome many of these concerns. Experimental results are presented illustrating this technique, in which a Fabry-Perot laser is locked to a commercially available DWDM filter within an accuracy of about 3 nm without the need fort thermoelectric cooling.","PeriodicalId":293243,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132883790","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}

Each sensor has its own communication capability as well as certain level of intelligence for signal processing and networking. As the sensor nodes are densely populated, communication range requirement for these nodes is smaller. After signal detection, a number of sensor nodes communicate over the same wireless multiuser channel. This necessitates the use of orthogonal codes with good cross correlation properties to mitigate multi access interference (MAI). In sensor networks, due to the dense placement of nodes, limited availability of power brings different metrics for optimality where short length spreading codes might be utilized for coding purposes. In this paper, a design methodology for the generation of such short length varying power orthogonal code sets with multiple levels of chip values is presented. BER characteristics of these short length codes are presented for two user and multiuser scenarios in AWG noise environment. As dynamic utilization of spreading code libraries consisting of multiple orthogonal sets brings additional network security at the code level, we expect spreading code rich system solutions in the future.","PeriodicalId":293243,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130225918","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}

The novel approach performs on-the-fly prediction and measurement of the PA AM/AM and AM/PM non-linearity, stores such non-linear characteristics and calculates their inverse functions in order to pre-distort the base-band amplitude and phase signals modulating the PA such that the combination, or the resultant, of the pre-distorter and the PA leads to a linear behavior at the output of the PA. We present a model of our predictor based approach and evaluate its performance for an GSM/EDGE application.

The bandwidth is 688 MHz and percentage bandwidth is 25.6% has been obtained while radiation efficiency is above 94% for the operating band. A novel design for increasing the bandwidth of a rectangular patch antenna is introduced and implemented. The design concept involves cutting an extra slot on a half U-slot MSA with shorting wall loading. This new design is very useful since it improves the bandwidth of a traditional U-slot patch antenna with an advantage of reduction in size. Measured VSWR bandwidth of 20 % and average gain of 7 dBi have been achieved. The efficiency is above 95% in the entire operating range.","PeriodicalId":293243,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122731065","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}

Thus, the next generation access network (NGAN) requires a converged optical/wireless access network infrastructure, other than the existing architecture that connect to the cellular, broadband wireless, and optical access networks separately, which complicate the network and increase the capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and OpEx). We have proposed a novel NGAN architecture with optical/wireless integrated edge node that elevates the connected heterogeneous access network functionalities up to the edge node [1]. In this paper, we further investigate the network and the edge node architecture and propose possible processing/operations that can decrease CapEx and OpEx to make it an attractive candidate for NGAN. In addition, we analyze the migration solution from current access network to the proposed converged network.","PeriodicalId":293243,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Sarnoff Symposium","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116993017","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}

Three channel estimation methods are considered: maximum likelihood (ML), time-domain truncation (TDT) and model-based (MB). TDT and MB are particularly useful when the channel delay spread is short. For an MMSE receiver, MB shows a 1-2.5 dB improvement over ML on the packet error rate performance for TGn channels B and D for various modulation and coding schemes. TDT is a simplified version of MB and shows a 1-2 dB improvement over ML at low SNRs.
