    摘要: A method for determining the position of a target is provided. Several emitted pulses of terahertz radiations are emitted from a phased array (which has several transceivers) in consecutive cycles (typically). These emitted pulses are generally configured to be reflected by a target so as to be received by the phased array within a scan range (which includes a digitization window with several sampling periods). Output signals from each of the transceivers are then combined to generate a combined signal for each cycle. The combined signal in each sampling period within the digitization window for emitted pulses is averaged to generate an averaged signal for each sampling period within the digitization window. These averaged signals are then digitized.

    摘要: At very high frequencies, generally above 100 GHz, the performance of traditional radio frequency (RF) circuitry begins to significantly limit performance. An example is the hybrid coupler, which can have a relatively narrow 90° bandwidth in these frequency ranges. Here, however, a branch-line hybrid coupler (which has been integrated into a quadrature downconversion mixer) has been modified. Namely, an adjustable impedance network has been coupled to isolation port (which has traditionally been terminated) to substantially increase the tuning range and expand the bandwidth of the quadrature mixer within these very high frequency ranges.

    摘要: An architecture for testing a plurality of circuits on an integrated circuit is described. The architecture includes a TAP Linking Module located between test pins on the integrated circuit and 1149.1 Test Access Ports (TAP) of the plurality of circuits to be tested. The TAP Linking Module operates in response to 1149.1 scan operations from a tester connected to the test pins to selectively switch between 1149.1 TAPs to enable test access between the tester and plurality of circuits. The TAP Linking Module's 1149.1 TAP switching operation is based upon augmenting 1149.1 instruction patterns to affix an additional bit or bits of information which is used by the TAP Linking Module for performing the TAP switching operation.

    摘要: A method is provided for compressing relatively time invariant binary data, such as speech data in a telephone answering device, using statistical analysis of changes in the data. An original record organized into multiple frames of multiple bits each is used to construct an XORed record of the same number of frames and bits. The XORed record has a base frame with the same bit value pattern as a corresponding base frame of the original record, and remaining frames with bit values given by the outputs of an exclusive-OR operation applied to the bit values of corresponding and prior frames of the original record. The bit positions of the XORed record frame set are analyzed and reordered, according to their bit value change activity and used to construct an output record. The output record may have a base frame with the same bit value pattern as the corresponding reordered XORed record base frame. Other output record frames are established using a compression scheme wherein at least low bit value change subframes of the reordered XORed record frames are compressed by replacing them with shorter bit patterns having a format comprising a first part representing the number of bit changes occurring in the subframe and a second part identifying the location or locations, if any, of those changes. The foregoing procedure is reversed to restore the original record from the output record.
