    Abstract: An IPC protocol/network allows for intelligent targeting of nodes in order to reduce overhead and provide for improved power management. The IPC server keeps track of the IPC network's node activity and using an operational state table (2000) it can determine which node can handle a service request (e.g., MP3 decode). By keeping track of the current operational condition of the nodes within the network, the processors can have better battery life and application latency can be improved. The IPC server will keep track not only of which nodes can handle which services, but it will also know which node can handle the service request given its knowledge of the operational state of each of the nodes.

    Abstract: A communications receiver architecture characterized by a relatively low intermediate frequency (IF) and a polyphase filter. The receiver includes an input amplifier coupled to a carrier signal. Respective I and Q demodulators are coupled to the output of the input amplifier. A quadrature local oscillator (LO) generator provides respective LO_I and LO_Q inputs to the I demodulator and LO_Q inputs to the I demodulator and to the Q demodulator. The quadrature LO generator is driven by a phase-locked LO, and the LO frequency is such that an IF of, in one embodiment, approximately 1 MHz results. The I demodulator and Q demodulator outputs are applied through respective A/D converters to a polyphase filter. The polyphase filter outputs are then processed by a digital I/Q demodulator. Although a low IF is not generally understood to promote the image rejection performance of a receiver, substantial image rejection is afforded by the polyphase filter, thereby enabling the receiver to be realized almost entirely as a monolithic integrated semiconductor device.

    Abstract: A ring resonator coupled laser is described, which has a gain region for creating light radiation, ring resonators for providing a strong mode selection and Vernier effect for wide wavelength tunability, passive waveguides for coupling the light and a pair of reflective mirrors for forming a laser cavity. By combining the ring resonators with the reflective mirrors, a strongly frequency-dependent passive mirror with complex amplitude reflectivity is formed and this ring resonator coupled laser exhibits single longitudinal mode operation with a high side mode suppression ratio, narrow linewidth and reduced frequency chirp. By using two slightly different ring resonators, the wavelength tunability is greatly enhanced. Thus, electro-optic effect is preferred for high speed wavelength tuning in the ring resonator coupled laser.

    Abstract: In a communications receiver for quadrature demodulation, a feedback technique for reducing the image response of the receiver. The communications receiver includes an I demodulator and a Q demodulator. A local oscillator (LO) signal is provided by a PLL to a quadrature LO generator that provides an LO_I signal to an I demodulator and an LO_Q signal to a Q demodulator. The LO_I and LO_Q signals are amplitude and phase-controlled versions of the LO signal. An image/signal ratio (I/S) detector detects the relative phase difference and the relative amplitude difference between the respective output terminals of the I demodulator and the Q demodulator and applies an amplitude control signal and a phase control signal to corresponding amplitude control and phase control inputs of the quadrature LO generator. The I/S detector calibrates the quadrature LO generator during the interstitial interval between the reception of data packets. The control signals from the I/S detector adjust the relative amplitude and phase of the LO_I and LO_Q signals in a manner that reduces the image response of the communications receiver.

    Abstract: A ring oscillator circuit, such as a VCO, with a relatively high level of noise rejection for noise originating from both the voltage supply and ground. The ring oscillator circuit is composed of a plurality of differential delay circuits, each differential delay circuit generating a differential output signal that is a delayed (and preferably inverted) version of a differential input signal. Each differential delay circuit includes first and second input transistors for receiving the differential input signal. Each differential delay circuit also includes first and second load transistors coupled in parallel with the respective first and second input transistors. Each differential delay circuit further includes a first current source coupled between the first input transistor and a first power supply terminal (e.g., a voltage supply terminal), a second current source coupled between the second input transistor and the first power supply terminal and a third current source coupled between the first and second input transistors and a second power supply terminal (e.g., a ground terminal). The first and second current sources reduce the coupling of noise from the first power supply terminal to the output. The third current source reduces the coupling of noise from the second power supply terminal to the output.
