Appeared: Microwave Product Digest Date: April 2001
Correlators are an important basic building block in CDMA designs. Correlators are used in signal acquisition, tracking and demodulation circuits and occupy a substantial amount of system resources...
Appeared: Microwave Product Digest Date: March 2001
The application of telecommunications is often about 'bandwidth conservation'. The technology of Spread Spectrum is exactly the opposite philosophy. Spread spectrum employs a novel form of modulation in which the RF bandwidth of the signal is much larger than that needed for traditional modulation schemes and the bandwidth is independent of the modulation content...
Appeared: Microwave Product Digest Date: February 2001
IEEE 802.11 has captured the support of major wireless industry leaders. The growth and commercialization seeb by the personal communications sector may be finally spilling over to the wireless LAN sector, but I still remember the cold and stormy night back in 1988 when I started working on a wireless LAN at a start-up...
Appeared: Wireless Week Date: May 2000
Until now, it has been difficult to monitor and measure performance of a base station's receive antenna because it requires disruption of service. A new method of monitoring a base station's receive antenna has been invented. This approach provides uninterrupted service for systems operators and constant unattended monitoring of antennas...
Appeared: Base Station Earth Station Date: March/April 2000
Monitoring the integrity of antenna systems is critical for efficient operation of a remote repeaters, paging or cellular/PCS base stations and is the subject of this article. A new technology approach to this challenge has been invented 1 which provides uninterrupted receive antenna monitoring for base stations...
