    摘要: An arbitration method and device for a data processing system wherein N units share a common resource, to allocate the shared resource to a given unit selected from a number of units requesting access thereto.An age value is assigned to each unit and corresponds to the age of the request that will be made by the unit. During an arbitration cycle, a unit whose request will be serviced, if the shared resource becomes available, is selected, this unit being the one whose request has an age value corresponding to the oldest request. Then, the age value associated with each unit is updated when the resource is available, the age of the selected unit assuming a value corresponding to that of the most recent request, the ages of the units not selected that correspond to requests more recent than the one made by the selected unit being increased by a given quantity, and the ages of the units not selected that correspond to requests older than the one made by the selected unit remaining unchanged.

    摘要: A set of phase shifters associated with an array of radiators of an electronically scanning antenna are each controlled by a current-limiting amplifier which has an input stage in series with an electronic switch and an output stage connected to a source of operating voltage normally blocking a pair of diodes in the associated phase shifter. A feedback loop between the two amplifier stages includes another diode serving to stabilize the current flow through the phase-shifter diodes upon closure of the electronic switch by a control device and triggering of the input stage by a signal from a reference-voltage generator.
