摘要:
It is aimed to provide a wireless vehicle to vehicle communication system arranged for mounting on a vehicle's front side location, equipped to provide inter vehicle communication. The system comprises a wing assembly arranged for mounting on the vehicles front side location. The wing assembly houses one or more digital communications antennas and has a side portion that houses a first antenna at a first height and/or horizontal position, and a second antenna at a second height and/or horizontal position, different from the first height and/or first horizontal position and sufficiently away from the other metallic and/or electronic components, for the purpose of optimizing reception and/or transmission quality, by e.g. providing good coverage and diversity, and avoiding interference with each other.

A control arrangement is disclosed for a switch mode power supply (SMPS), the SMPS comprising an opto-coupler configured to transfer, from a secondary side to a primary side of the switch mode power supply by means of an LED current, a control signal indicative of an error between an amplifier-reference-signal and an amplifier-sensed-signal indicative of an actual value of an output parameter, the control arrangement comprising: an error amplifier configured to integrate the error to determine the LED current; and a feedback loop configured to adjust the magnitude of the LED current by modifying the amplifier-reference-signal or the amplifier-sensed-signal in order to reduce the error. A SMPS comprising such a control arrangement, and a corresponding method is also disclosed.

An apparatus and method is provided for measuring the phase noise of an analogue ac signal. A 1-bit digitizer generates an oversampled 1 bit serial bit stream. This is analysed to identify crossing points in the original signal based on transitions in the 1 bit serial bit streamover a number of periods of the analogue ac signal. A first period or frequency is based on successive crossing points associated with a rising analogue ac signal and a second period or frequency is derived from successive crossing points associated with a falling analogue ac signal. A phase noise level can then be calculated. This provides a low cost and fast phase noise test.

Bus communications are effected. In accordance with one or more example embodiments, a bus circuit is configured for communicating data in accordance with a main protocol (e.g., as a default), and for communicating with an alternate protocol when signals corresponding to the main protocol are not present. In some implementations, a sense circuit is used with input pins to sense a type of signal for bus communications, and to control communications on the bus with a protocol appropriate for the sensed signals, and for a main protocol when main protocol signals are sensed (e.g., for a default bus operation, or for test operation).

A microphone comprises a planar substrate arrangement, an optical source provided over the substrate arrangement for emitting a light beam in a direction parallel to the substrate arrangement and a layer structure defining at least one optical cavity through which the light beam is directed, the cavity exposed to the sound pressure to be sensed. The light beam is directed to a target after passing through the cavity. Optical analysis is used for determining an optical property which is dependent on the pressure in the cavity.

An apparatus for misalignment compensation in optical joysticks is described. The optical joystick includes a light source, a plurality of photodetectors, and circuitry for controlling operation of the optical joystick.In some embodiments, each of the photodetectors may partitioned into a plurality of photodetector elements and select photodetector elements are configured to be individually activated in order to cause an electrical shifting of the selected photodetector elements to achieve a different operational alignment position of optical components of the optical joystick. In some embodiments, the light source may be similarly be calibrated by individually activating portions of a light-source array to cause an electrical shift. Various other embodiments and methods of operation are also described.
