An extended cavity Fabry-Perot laser assembly provides relatively narrow mode spacing while allowing relatively high speed optical modulation. The extended cavity Fabry-Perot laser assembly generally includes an exit reflector physically separated from a laser emitter (e.g., a gain chip) to extend the lasing cavity and narrow the mode spacing while maintaining a relatively small gain region in the laser emitter capable of higher speed optical modulation. The extended cavity Fabry-Perot laser assembly may be used in a multi-channel transmitter in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical system that selects a channel wavelength for the transmitter from among multiple channel wavelengths emitted by the laser assembly. The narrow mode spacing may be less than a WDM channel width, and more specifically, may be less than a channel passband of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) or other filter used to select the channel wavelength.

A mobile device estimates channel state information (CSI) comprising, for example, CQI and/or SNR, for a downlink channel. The estimated CSI is non-uniformly quantized and transmitted to the base station over a finite-rate feedback channel. Different portions of the estimated CSI are quantized using different quantization step sizes, which are determined according to a performance metric function such as a channel capacity function of the estimated CSI. A quantization step size for a portion of the estimated CSI is increased if a low distribution probability is indicated by the portion of the estimated CSI. A quantization step size for a portion of the estimated CSI is decreased if a high distribution probability is indicated. The mobile device quantizes the estimated CSI using the determined quantization step sizes to transmit to the base station over the finite-rate feedback channel. Downlink data transmission is received according to the transmitted CSI.

A laser array optical coupling assembly may be used to couple a laser array to an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), for example, in an optical transmitter in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication system. The laser array optical coupling assembly may include an optical fiber tip array with polished optical fiber tips providing a reduced mode field diameter to improve coupling efficiency with the laser array. The laser array optical coupling assembly may also include a direct coupling of the laser array to the AWG with modified AWG inputs reducing the mode field diameter to improve coupling efficiency with the laser array. The laser array optical coupling assembly may be used, for example, in an optical line terminal (OLT) in a WDM passive optical network (PON) or in other transmitters or transceivers in a WDM system capable of transmitting and receiving optical signals on multiple channel wavelengths.

Preamble for use within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. A selected preamble type is employed for use in generating a signal to be transmitted from one communication device to at least one other communication device. Depending upon a desired operational mode, as few as one preamble type, or two or more preamble types may be associated with a given operational mode. When operating in accordance with a given operational mode, a preamble type is selected from available preamble types of an operational mode. A preferred implementation may include two respective preamble types such that one preamble type is used for single user (SU) operation with transmit beamforming weights applied at the beginning of the packet or for open loop SU transmissions only, while the other preamble type, having an multiple user (MU) characteristic, is used for both SU beamforming and MU operations.

A thermonuclear reaction system for generating a thermonuclear fusion reaction includes a reaction chamber and a number of particle beam emitters. The reaction system has at least four particle beam emitters supported spatially around oriented toward a common focal region of the reaction chamber for directing at least four plasma beams that are spatially symmetrical in three dimensional space. Each of the plasma beams are directed towards a plasma region in the geometric center. A stable collapse of the plasma region permits a controllable and sufficiently long confinement time, which in combination with necessary temperature and density conditions may ignite and sustain fusion reactions and achieve a net energy output. Optionally, laser beams or other input energy devices may also be oriented around and toward the common focal region to direct high-energy laser beams at the plasma ball to assist with instigation of the fusion reaction.

Phase rotation for preambles within multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. An appropriately designed phase rotation vector and/or appropriately designed cyclic shift delays (CSDs) are applied to respective sub-band components of the preamble. With appropriately designed CSDs, certain fields within the preamble are not modified. For example, a legacy short training field (L-STF) of the preamble is not changed when using appropriately designed CSDs. The respective CSDs may be implemented as integer multiples of a common CSD (e.g., 0×CSD, 1×CSD, 2×CSD, etc. such that one of the values of such a CSD vector may be zero [0], another may be the common CSD itself, etc.). Also, by employing an appropriately designed phase rotation vector and integer multiples of a CSD to a preamble, the respective peak to average power ratio (PAPR) between different respective fields within the preamble may be minimized.

Certain aspects of a method and system for processing signals in a communication system may include maximizing system capacity for a time division duplex (TDD) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, based on reducing a search range within which to find a group of signals having maximum channel gain. At least one of: a first signal for a first user and a second signal for a second user may be selected, which are both within the reduced search range, and which provides a maximum system capacity. The first signal for the first user may be selected from the reduced search range corresponding to a channel gain that is greater than a channel gain corresponding to a remaining portion of the reduced search range. The reduced search range may be generated by sorting a plurality of signals based on a channel gain corresponding to each of the plurality of signals.

Aspects of a method and system for an alternating delta quantizer for limited feedback MIMO pre-coders may comprise quantizing a change in channel state information in a MIMO pre-coding system onto at least a first and a second codebook, each of which comprises one or more unitary matrices, using a cost function; feeding back, in an alternating manner, an index to an element of at least the first codebook or the second codebook, associated with the quantizing, from a receiver to a transmitter in said MIMO pre-coding system, and generating the at least first and second codebook based on at least the channel state information. The channel state information may be a matrix V and the cost function may be defined by the following relationship: f ( A ) = ( 1 N ∑ j = 1 N a jj 2 ) where A is a matrix of size N by N and aij is element (i,j) of matrix A.

A switching power converter (200, 300, 400, 500) comprises a transformer (211) with a parasitic capacitance (212), a first switch (207) coupled to the transformer (211) and configured to couple or decouple a load (219) to or from a power source via the transformer (211), a switch controller (205) coupled to the first switch (207) and configured to generate a switch drive signal (206) for turning on or off the first switch (207) according to switching cycles, and a bypass circuit configured to provide a bypass path for the parasitic elements such as the parasitic capacitance (212). The bypass circuit may be coupled in parallel with the auxiliary winding (220), the primary winding (213), or the secondary winding (214) of the transformer (211). High frequency ringing and EMI/RFI is reduced when the bypass circuit is enabled.

Modulation code set (MCS) and LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coding within multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. Selective operation in accordance with different operational modes is performed. Operation within a first mode may correspond to that which is in full compliance with a given protocol, standard, and/or recommended practice, while operation within a second mode may correspond to that which provides additional/augmented capability and/or functionality with respect to that protocol, standard, and/or recommended practice. Operational modes selectivity may be made between proprietary and non-proprietary modes of operation. All available modulation coding sets (MCSs) may be in employed by providing such multi-mode operation. When operating within one of the operational modes (e.g., proprietary), a signal is generated to include an integer number of data bits per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol using any desired operation (e.g., floor, ceiling, rounding, etc.).
