These factors can be met by using automatic design tools and standard-cell design. The major drawback with this approach is the attainable circuit performance. In this paper we present an efficient design approach which combines the short design time and flexibility of the standard-cell approach and the high performance of the unconstrained cell layout style. A 128-point FFT/IFFT chip aimed at OFDM applications has successfully been designed using this approach. Further, a modular architecture is proposed that is scalable with respect to the throughput requirements. The throughput scaling can also be utilized to reduce power consumption.","PeriodicalId":402369,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125523158","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}

Unexpectedly, it has very good linear properties. In this paper we examine the fundamental reasons for such good performance of HBTs, compare various models and the influence of different parameters, such as emitter resistance, base-collector capacitance and time delay of current gain. In particular, we examine the cancellation of second harmonic currents in the base emitter junction in great detail. The method of nonlinear currents was used to develop a set of analytical expressions for equivalent circuits of varying complexity. It was found that the emitter resistance R/sub ee/ linearizes the HBT at low frequencies by providing negative feedback and by bringing the phase difference of the second order currents closer to 180/spl deg/. At high frequencies the base collector capacitance C/sub bc/ dominates. The inherent nonlinearity of C/sub bc/ degrades the cancellation of second order currents in the base emitter junction. We have also found a connection between two different current gain models that makes them equivalent under certain conditions.","PeriodicalId":402369,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126714500","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 CSTA, an application is a cooperative process between a telecommunications switching function and computing function. It is presented to the user as a single function providing enhanced services. The switching function and the computing function are typically distributed among a telecommunications network and a computer network. The interface allows flexible creation of new telecommunications services and applications. It allows computer users and applications to invoke telecommunications services on the switch.
