The front-end multi-throw switch includes front-end throws and a front-end pole. The front-end pole is coupled to a receive channel or a transmit channel. The front-end pole is switchably coupled to one of the front-end throws. The back-end multi-throw switch includes back-end throws and a back-end pole. Each of the back-end throws is associated with a corresponding one of the front-end throws. The back-end pole is coupled to the receive channel or the transmit channel. The back-end pole is switchably coupled to one of the back-end throws. The one of the back-end throws corresponds to the one of the front-end throws. The filters are interposed between the front-end multi-throw switch and the back-end multi-throw switch. Each of the filters has a first port coupled to one of the front-end throws and a second port coupled to one of the back-end throws. A first one of the filters includes a filter of a first bandwidth. A second one of the filters includes a filter of a second bandwidth. The first bandwidth is different from the second bandwidth. The switch controller is coupled to the front-end multi-throw switch and the back-end multi-throw switch. The switch controller is configured to synchronously switch the front-end pole to one of the front-end throws and the back-end pole to a corresponding one of the back-end throws.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for providing connection packages for high-speed integrated circuits (“ICs”) in optical, electronic, wired or wireless communications are disclosed. The connection package achieves dimensional transformation of signal routes from high-speed, high-density IC's input/output pads to the external terminals such as coaxial terminals and BGA balls, while maintaining constant characteristic impedance throughout the transmission lines. A package may include a substrate having microstrips for communicating signals between the IC pads and external terminals. A pair of differential microstrips can be positioned closer to each other near the IC pads and create capacitive coupling. Such coupled capacitance allows the width of the microstrips to be reduced. A portion of the coupled microstrips near the IC pads can be widened to increase the capacitance so that the overall transmission path can become an all-pass network—from the IC pads, through the bonding wires, to the microstrips. The rest of the portions of the microstrips can be tapered out to their respective external connectors. In addition, a multi-layer package may include a substrate, at least one coaxial external terminal formed at the side of the package for conducting a high-speed signal, BGA connectors formed at the bottom of the package for conducting low-speed signals, a microstrip for connecting the high-speed signal to the coaxial terminal, and microstrips and internal coaxial connectors for connecting the low-speed signals to the BGA connectors. Substantially constant characteristic impedance is achieved throughout the signal transmission paths in the package.

The system offers reduced control latency, improved recording efficiency, and more flexible display features with greatly improved performance and update rates.The system offers greatly reduced wiring and installation complexity thus improving reliability. The architecture is scalable and expandable in either the analog camera count or the IP camera count. The system integrates these two camera technologies so that the camera source or recorder is transparent to the user. Each user can control all video sources, analog, IP, or recorded, from one keyboard and one or more monitors at each work station.The unique all digital solution provides digital reliability and broadcast quality performance. The solution is significantly smaller and substantially lower cost the previous solutions, and offers higher monitor output capacity without the need for expensive down framing approaches currently used in the industry.

    摘要: Coaxial cables each having a cylindrical electrically conductive outer shield and a central conductive wire insulated from the shield are conductively coupled through a connector to coplanar conductors on a dielectric substrate. The conductors converge toward an opening in the substrate. The coplanar conductors alternately are ground and signal conductors. Each coaxial cable shield is conductively coupled to two ground conductors and the cable wire is conductively coupled to the signal conductor between the two ground conductors. At the substrate opening the ground and signal conductors are conductively coupled to planar stripline waveguide ground and signal blades, respectively. Ground blades between the signal blades are a factor in controlling the signal blade impedance and provide isolation between the signal blades. Each blade is perpendicular to the substrate and has a pitch angle such that the blade extends through the opening below the substrate. A wire or needle probe is conductively coupled to the blade distal end. The needle end is adapted to contact a conductive pad on an IC (integrated circuit) chip. The coplanar conductors and stripline blades are configured to maintain substantially constant characteristic impedance in the signal conductors and their respective blades and to isolate signals in the signal conductors and blades from one another.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for generating clock signals accurately locked to multi-gigabits-per-second data signals received over fiber optic channels are disclosed. The invention includes a phase detector for comparing a data signal and a clock signal, a one shot unit for detecting a data transition, an XOR, a filter, a main charge pump, a compensating charge pump for producing additive or compensating current, and a VCO for generating the clock signal. The phase detector includes multiple D-flip flops. The one shot unit includes a delay unit and an AND gate. The filter includes a resistor, a capacitor and a negative resistance amplifier. The main charge pump includes differential inputs, double outputs, cross-quading resistors, differential NPN input transistors, and a current source. The compensating charge pump includes differential NPN input transistors and a current source. In operation, when there is a data transition and if the clock signal and data signal are out of phase synchronization, then the compensating charge pump will enhance the operation of the main charge pump, and the VCO will speed up or slow down the clock signal depending on whether the clock signal is advanced or retarded in phase compared to the data signal. When there is no data transition, the compensating charge pump will in effect counterbalance the operation of the main charge pump, and the frequency of the clock signal will be maintained at the same level it was at the onset of the no data transition period.

    摘要: A baseband signal converter device for an impulse radio receiver combines multiple converter circuits and an RF amplifier in a single integrated circuit package. Each converter circuit includes an integrator circuit that integrates a portion of each RF pulse during a sampling period triggered by a timing pulse generator. The integrator capacitor is isolated by a pair of Schottky diodes connected to a pair of load resistors. A current equalizer circuit equalizes the current flowing through the load resistors when the integrator is not sampling. Current steering logic transfers load current between the diodes and a constant bias circuit depending on whether a sampling pulse is present.
