Abstract:
A data and clock recovery circuit having a retimer mode and a resync mode. In one embodiment, a receiver circuit includes: a retimer; a clock recovery circuit to provide a clock signal to the retimer; and an adjustable delay to provide a delayed version of an input signal to the retimer. When in a resync mode, the adjustable delay causes a pre-selected delay in the input signal and the clock recovery circuit dynamically selects a clock phase to generate the clock signal. When in a second mode, the adjustable delay dynamically adjusts the delayed version of the input signal and the clock recovery circuit outputs the clock signal having a pre-selected clock phase.
Abstract:
A method of beam forming is provided for an appliqué intelligent antenna system. The appliqué system uses a watchdog function to monitor broadcast channels of an existing mobile wireless base station to which it is attached. The appliqué system synchronizes itself in frequency and time to the base station. In GSM timing delays are used to prevent collision of timeslots from various mobile terminals. The appliqué system uses this time delay mechanism to compensate for its own processing delays so that its presence is transparent to the existing base station. Angle of arrival calculations are made to determining beamforming parameters. The antenna of the four element antenna system are separated by is (5 1/2 _ 1)/2 times the wavelength. Angle of arrival for the strongest uplink multipath signal are used to direct the downlink beam.
Abstract:
A method to skew or deskew a plurality of optical channels in a multichannel optical cable which includes the steps of determining an optical pulse transmission time in at least at first channel and a second channel of the multichannel optical cable. A relative pulse delay between the first channel and the second channel of the multi-channel optical cable is calculated. Delay optics with the appropriate relative pulse delay are serially optically connected to at least one of the channels to one of skew or deskew the first channel relative to the second channel.
Abstract:
It should be noted that automatic delay setting according to the invention is extremely advantageous in a typical KVM environment since KVM installation is typically performed by a person skilled within the field of computer hardware. However, it is not very likely that such a person is able to perform manual calibration if such calibration, when being performed manually, requires skills within the filed of analogue transmission. According to the invention, standard data transmission cables may be applied for KVM-extending purposes, thereby avoiding the need for new dedicated wiring by means of special cables, e.g. COAX, having the desired analogue transmission properties. Evidently, this is of great importance since standard data transmission cables are typically the only kind of cable available at the premises. Another advantage is the relatively low price of structurel cabling (another word for data transmission cabling or cat5/cat6) compared to for example coax.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for synchronising the phase of two RZ data signals (RZS1, RZS2) which have been combined to form one time multiplex signal (MS1). According to said method, the power of half a fundamental wave of the multiplex signal (MS1) is measured and the phase differential is regulated in such a way that the power of the wave reaches a minimum.
Abstract:
A method for generating a variable delay of a signal (28), including: providing a clock (50) indicating a sequence of sample times at regular intervals and receiving a sequence of input samples (41) representing input values of the signal at respective sample times indicated by the clock. The method further includes determining the delay (40, 46) with a temporal resolution substantially finer than the clock interval to be applied to the signal at each of the respective sample times. For each of the sample times, responsive to the respectively-determined delay, one or more of the input samples are processed so as to generate a corresponding output sample (43) representing a delayed output value of the signal at the sample time.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a variety of systems and methods for correcting for propagation delay in time signals used in connection with an electric power generation and delivery system. According to various embodiments, a device consistent with the present disclosure may determine an estimated propagation delay between an accurate time source and a receiving device. The propagation delay may be determined based on a variety of transmission parameters including, for example, communication channel type and/or length. A corrected time signal may be generated by advancing a reference incitation such as an "on-time" reference and/or "start-of-second" reference included in the time signal by an amount associated with the propagation delay. The corrected time signal may then be transmitted to the receiving device.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide fully differential phase detectors for use in delay-locked loops, for example. One example phase detecting circuit generally includes a first input for a reference signal; a second input for an input signal to be compared with the reference signal; a set-reset (S-R) latch having a set input, a reset input, a first output, and a second output, and a delay (D) flip-flop having a logic input, a clock input, a reset input, and a logic output. The first input is connected with S-R reset input, the second input is connected with S-R set input, the first S-R output is connected with the D clock input, and the second S-R output is connected with the D reset input. The logic output of the D flip-flop indicates whether the input signal is leading or lagging the reference signal.
