DSP System Integration
By Ethan Bordeaux
As progress in IC process technologies allows more circuitry to be
integrated onto a single chip, engineers are considering what additional functions should be brought onboard. This article discusses the pros and cons of adding additional components to a DSP chip, and how they impact portable and other power-sensitive applications.
Intelligent Data Recovery
By Gary McCormack
Due to variations in signal and jitter levels, the clock and data recovery (CDR) circuits used in high-speed fiber-optic links
face serious challenges. Putting the CDR into a self-adjusting feedback loop shows promise as a technique for dynamically adapting to the vagaries of real-world fiber links.
Lessons in Designing LEOs: Part 2
By Steven Leeland
This second in a two-part series on the design of low Earth orbit (LEO)-based satellite communication systems delves into antenna beam configurations, beam-steering calculations, and some strategies to reduce the
calculation load.
