The correlation between high frequency (S parameters) and low frequency (envelope of the high frequency signal) responses of a capacitive RF MEMS switch is analysed. This has been done by modeling both the electromechanical and RF behaviours of the switch and by a statistical simulation of the switch with Monte Carlo method. Next, it has been possible to predict the insertion loss, return loss and isolation of the switch from the low frequency measurements for a broad frequency range. Furthermore, by using the obtained correlations for two different frequencies, it was possible to recreate the S-parameters for the entire frequency spectrum with good agreement.","PeriodicalId":421336,"journal":{"name":"2010 Fifth IEEE International Symposium on Electronic Design, Test & Applications","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128055973","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}

This is due to the features of flexibility, accuracy and configurability in designing and implementation. The paper presents a complete design for a 16-QAM transmitter and receiver based on the Virtex4 FPGA Kit. The implemented system can be applied in particle. Based on the principles of carrier synchronization, time synchronization, core tools for phase-different detecting as well as adaptive equalization processing in System Generator (a software of Xilinx), the authors have designed a complete baseband IF 16-QAM system, in which the baseband signal is upconverted into IF frequency (up to 12MHz) at the transmitter and then is downconverted at the receiver. After timing synchronizing, the adaptive equalizing and phase recovering, the received baseband signal is displayed in the oscilloscope’s screen. These accurate experiments conducted in Virtex 4 FPGA board kit have shown a promising foundation for developing coding, algorithms in 16-QAM modulation scheme.","PeriodicalId":421336,"journal":{"name":"2010 Fifth IEEE International Symposium on Electronic Design, Test & Applications","volume":"17 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131276347","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}

An algorithm, which can be used to discriminate these coins, employs a scanning magnetic camera, which uses a linearly integrated 64 InSb Hall sensor array (LIHaS) on a NiZn ferrite wafer and a complex induced current-magnetic flux leakage method (CIC-MFL). The coins consist of paramagnetic metals or magnetically combined metals. The distribution of the magnetic field around each coin was measured at a lift-off of 1mm, and processed by using the #&240;VRMS/#&240;x term. It is possible to apply the peak-distances and the integrated absolute minimum values of #&240;VRMS/#&240;x in order to discriminate the coins. 170 cases that used 85 coins of 43 different denominations from 10 countries were examined to verify the proposed algorithm.

To regain the lost performance, a method for estimating the error probability along with an adjustment technique are proposed. Using a simulator tool that has been developed to enable experimentation, the proposed method is evaluated and the results show that the proposed method provides useful estimates of the error probability leading to near-optimal performance of the RRC fault-tolerant technique.","PeriodicalId":421336,"journal":{"name":"2010 Fifth IEEE International Symposium on Electronic Design, Test & Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121255998","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}
