This paper presents the key circuits of a 1MHz bandwidth, 750kb/s GMSK transmitter. The fractional-N synthesizer forming the basis of the transmitter uses a combined phasefrequency
detector (PFD) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit element to obtain >28dB high frequency noise reduction when compared to classicalfrequency synthesis.
The existence of numerous imaging modalities makes it possible to present different data present in different modalities together thus forming multimodal images. Component images forming multimodal images should be aligned, or registered so that all the data, coming from the different modalities, are displayed in proper locations. The term image registration is most commonly used to denote the process of alignment of images , that is of transforming them to the common coordinate system. This is done by optimizing a similarity measure between the two images. A widely used measure is Mutual Information (MI). This method requires estimating joint histogram of the two images. Experiments are presented that demonstrate the approach. The technique is intensity-based rather than feature-based. As a comparative assessment the performance based on normalized mutual information and cross correlation as metric have also been presented.
-The existence of numerous imaging modalities makes it possible to present different data present in different modalities together thus forming multimodal images. Component images forming multimodal images should be aligned, or registered so that all the data, coming from the different modalities, are displayed in proper locations. Mutual Information is the similarity measure used in this case for optimizing the two images. This method requires estimating joint histogram of the two images. The fusion of images is the process of combining two or more images into a single image retaining important features from each. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has become an attractive tool for fusing multimodal images. In this work it has been used to segment the features of the input images to produce a region map. Features of each region are calculated and a region based approach is used to fuse the images in the wavelet domain.
The Schumann resonance frequencies are a set of eigenmodes in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the electromagnetic field spectrum. These frequencies are only present for planetary-like bodies with a substantial ionosphere acting as a perfect electric conductor, thus forming a resonance cavity with the surface. In this example, the Schumann resonance frequencies for the Earth are calculated.
Communication has been one of the deepest needs of the human race throughout recorded
history. It is essential to forming social unions, to educating the young, and to expressing a
myriad of emotions and needs. Good communication is central to a civilized society.
The various communication disciplines in engineering have the purpose of providing technological
aids to human communication. One could view the smoke signals and drum rolls of primitive
societies as being technological aids to communication, but communication technology as we
view it today became important with telegraphy, then telephony, then video, then computer
communication, and today the amazing mixture of all of these in inexpensive, small portable
devices.
For more than three decades, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have
steadily transitioned out of research labs and into production forming a more than $10 billion
market [1]. MEMS devices such as accelerometers, pressure sensors and microphones, to name
a few, have seen immense utilization, particularly in the consumer electronics market, because
of their compact sizes and minute power consumptions. In addition, these devices benefit from
batch fabrication, which has enabled year-over-year reductions in cost [2]. In recent years,
