Consider a BPSK and a QPSK system for the following two cases: 1) The probability that the symbol 1 is sent and the probability that the symbol 0 is sent are all the same. 2) The probability that the symbol 1 is sent is two times than the probability that the symbol 0 is sent. Assume that the noise is Gaussian distributed with mean=0 and 2 = 1.
Abstract: With the large number of analog switches on the market today, there are many performance criteria for a product designer to Consider. This application note reviews the basic construction of
This document provides practical, common guidelines for incorporating PCI Express interconnect
layouts onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) ranging from 4-layer desktop baseboard designs to 10-
layer or more server baseboard designs. Guidelines and constraints in this document are intended
for use on both baseboard and add-in card PCB designs. This includes interconnects between PCI
Express devices located on the same baseboard (chip-to-chip routing) and interconnects between
a PCI Express device located “down” on the baseboard and a device located “up” on an add-in
card attached through a connector.
This document is intended to cover all major components of the physical interconnect including
design guidelines for the PCB traces, vias and AC coupling capacitors, as well as add-in card
edge-finger and connector Considerations. The intent of the guidelines and examples is to help
ensure that good high-speed signal design practices are used and that the timing/jitter and
loss/attenuation budgets can also be met from end-to-end across the PCI Express interconnect.
However, while general physical guidelines and suggestions are given, they may not necessarily
guarantee adequate performance of the interconnect for all layouts and implementations.
Therefore, designers should Consider modeling and simulation of the interconnect in order to
ensure compliance to all applicable specifications.
The document is composed of two main sections. The first section provides an overview of
general topology and interconnect guidelines. The second section concentrates on physical layout
constraints where bulleted items at the beginning of a topic highlight important constraints, while
the narrative that follows offers additional insight.
Abstract: We don't expect manufacturers to produce clothes that in one size that fits everyone. In thesame way, one ESD component can't solve all issues—each application has different ESD requirements.Knowing that "one size fits all" cannot apply to power design, the power designer, or the engineering"super hero," must Consider all the potential disruptions to a steady flow of power and thenvarious waysto mitigate them. This tutorial describes voltage- and current-limiting devices and risetime reducers tomanage the power. It also points to free and low-cost software tools to help design lowpass filters, checkcapacitor self-resonance, and simulate circuits.
Abstract: Stuxnet, a sophisticated virus that damaged Iran's nuclear capability, should be an eye openerfor the world. We can choose to learn something very narrow (how to combat the Stuxnet virus) or wecan choose to focus on the larger goal of thwarting the next type of creative cyber attack. Unfortunately,critical industrial infrastructure is not currently designed with security as a key goal, leaving open multipleavenues for an educated and funded attacker to create massive problems. This tutorial outlines somebasic concepts that engineers and product definers should Consider to make sure their new projects stayahead of future threats.
Abstract: There are many things to Consider when designing a power supply for a field-programmablegate array (FPGA). These include (but are not limited to) the high number of voltage rails, and thediffering requirements for both sequencing/tracking and the voltage ripple limits. This application noteexplains these and other power-supply Considerations that an engineer must think through whendesigning a power supply for an FPGA.
A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DCcurrent. Laser drive is supplied by a current source withmodulation added further along the signal path. Thecurrent source, although conceptually simple, constitutesan extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are anumber of practical requirements for a fiber optic currentsource and failure to Consider them can cause laser and/or optical component destruction.

Abstract: The process of designing a radio system can be complex and often involves many project tradeoffs. Witha little insight, balancing these various characteristics can make the job of designing a radio system easier. Thistutorial explores these tradeoffs and provides details to Consider for various radio applications. With a focus on theindustrial, scientific, medical (ISM) bands, the subjects of frequency selection, one-way versus two-way systems,modulation techniques, cost, antenna options, power-supply influences, effects on range, and protocol selectionare explored.
Nios II 軟件開發人員手冊中的緩存和緊耦合存儲器部分
Nios® II embedded processor cores can contain instruction and data caches. This
chapter discusses cache-related issues that you need to Consider to guarantee that
your program executes correctly on the Nios II processor. Fortunately, most software
based on the Nios II hardware abstraction layer (HAL) works correctly without any
special accommodations for caches. However, some software must manage the cache
directly. For code that needs direct control over the cache, the Nios II architecture
provides facilities to perform the following actions:
