Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for constructing a short training field (STF) sequence in a preamble to reduce a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) at a transmitter, while having a defined repetition period.
Abstract:
A circuit structure has a channel estimator adapted to receive an input, an equalizer adapted to receive the input and generate an equalized output, and an equalizer training block adapted to receive estimated channel condition information, and provide a set of trained coefficients to the equalizer. The equalized output is used by the channel estimator for at least one subsequent channel estimation. The channel estimator, the equalizer, and the equalizer training block are looped together.
Abstract:
An LDPC based TDS-OFDM receiver for demodulating an LDPC encoded TDS-OFDM modulated RF signal downconverted to an IF signal includes a synchronization block, an equalization block, an OFDM demodulation block and a FEC decoder block. The synchronization block generates a baseband signal from a digitized IF signal and performs correlation of a PN sequence in a signal frame of the received RF signal with a corresponding locally generated PN sequence to provide signals for performing carrier recovery, timing recovery and parameters for channel estimation. The equalization block performs channel estimation and channel equalization. The OFDM demodulation block performs demodulation on the baseband signal to recover OFDM symbols and converts the OFDM symbols to frequency domain. The FEC decoder block includes an LDPC decoder for decoding the OFDM symbols based on the LDPC code to generate a digital output signal indicative of the data content of the RF signal.
Abstract:
A method comprising the steps of: providing a known sequence comprising a plurality of data points; and curve-fitting the plurality of data points to calculate coarse frequency offset.
Abstract:
A method used in a time domain equalizer is provided. The method comprising the steps of: providing a time domain equalizer comprising; and extracting a real part of an input or a derivative of the input to the time domain equalizer and using the only real part of the input in the time domain equalizer to derive an output of the time domain equalizer.
Abstract:
An LED lamp (100) includes a lamp enclosure (10) and two LED modules (30). The lamp enclosure has a concave housing (11). The housing includes an elongated bottom plate (111) and two lateral plates (115) extending upwardly from two opposite lengthwise sides of the bottom plate respectively. An opening (156) is defined at a top side of the lamp enclosure. The LED modules each are mounted at a joint between the bottom plate and a corresponding of the lateral plates in such a manner that at least a portion of lights emitted by the LED modules is firstly directed to and reflected by an internal surface of the bottom plate, and then directed to an outside through the opening.
Abstract:
There is provided a disk drive including a disk drive base, a disk rotatably coupled to the disk drive base, and a spindle motor attached to the disk drive base and configured to support the disk for rotating the disk with respect to the disk drive base. The disk drive further includes a filter component. The filter component includes a filter housing coupled to the disk drive base, and a pair of filter elements disposed within the filter housing for filtering disk rotation induced airflow. Each filter element includes a coarse section and a fine section, wherein the coarse section is positioned upstream of the fine section relative to a direction of the induced airflow.
Abstract:
Following CMP, a magnetic tunnel junction stack may protrude through the oxide that surrounds it, making it susceptible to possible shorting to its sidewalls. The present invention overcomes this problem by depositing silicon nitride spacers on these sidewalls prior to oxide deposition and CMP. So, even though the stack may protrude through the top surface of the oxide after CMP, the spacers serve to prevent possible later shorting to the stack.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method selecting benefit agent(s) suitable for reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range.
