DFB-DCPBH structures with second-order corrugation were prepared by a two-step liquid-phase epitaxial growth process. A threshold current of 50 mA at 25 degrees C and stable single longitudinal mode operation over a wide range of driving current and temperature have been obtained. Linewidth was measured both in DC conditions and in modulated conditions up to 500 MHz.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115589132","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}

A demultiplexing algorithm that would allow demultiplexing of only the carriers of interest from the wideband spectrum of the FDMA signal in a random and efficient manner is proposed. The computational requirements indicate that the proposed technique of approximation and subsequent correction is efficient when only a small number of carriers need to be demultiplexed. When compared to the conventional fast transform algorithms (such as the FFT), the efficiency of the proposed algorithm decreases as the number of carriers increases. If the number of carriers to be processed is less than 20 (out of 800), then this demultiplexing algorithm is superior to the FFT. For an earth station application where the interest may be in only a few carriers out of hundreds received, the proposed demultiplexing algorithm is highly applicable.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122751687","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}

These microprocessors are connected to an operator's terminal. The aim of the system is to improve old telephone exchanges, executing some important functions performed by the stored program control exchanges. It can also be adapted to the Siemens ESK-10000 and Standard Electric PC-1000 exchanges. The PBXKAN system is implemented and under industrialization, with some prototypes working full-time for more than a year. One of the main characteristics of the system is its capability of fault detection, localization, indication, and recovering.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124747203","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}

Applications to the AR(1) source have shown that these lower bounds are very close to the actual rate-distortion curves, even for small sizes of the output alphabet. In this algorithm, however, the codebook changes with rate. In a number of applications it is desirable to operate with the same codebook. The authors modify the above algorithm to calculate lower bounds to the performance of all such multirate coders. An important conclusion is that constraining the codebook vectors does not degrade performance as compared to the size-only constrained case. The authors have proposed a practical alphabet and entropy constrained vector quantizer (AECVQ). This coder is obtained by modifying the ECVQ algorithm so that the codebook remains the same for all rates.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124748035","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 particular, the following sequence of operations is considered: (a) multiplexing of a C-4 into a VC-4, (b) multiplexing VC-4 into a AU-4 with general pointer settlement, (c) multiplexing of an AU-4 into STM-1 (synchronous transport module-level 1). It is shown that this sequence (including scrambler) is equivalent to a linear FIR (finite impulse response) filter. As an example of application of the modules, spectral analysis after the line conversion of an STM-1 frame sequence with a specific payload is carried out.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":405932,"journal":{"name":"SBT/IEEE International Symposium on Telecommunications","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126206919","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}
