Measurement results of an analog channel decoder in 65 nm CMOS are presented. We target ultra compact and low power applications with low to medium throughput requirements. The decoding core is designed for (7,5)(8) convolutional codes and takes 0.104 mm(2) on silicon. The degrading effects of analog imperfections are investigated and the presented results allow power, performance and throughput t
Industry--academia collaboration is critical for empirical research to exist. However, there are many obstacles in the collaboration process. This paper reports on the experiences gained by the author, in a 2-year collaboration project on software testing which involved on-site work by the researcher in the industry premises. Based on notes, minutes of meetings, and progress reports, the project h
Popular Abstract in Swedish Svampmycel i marken hämtar sin energi både från levande och dött organiskt material. Vissa svampar hämtar energi direkt från levande växter genom att bilda en symbios som kallas mykorrhiza. Arbuskulär mykorrhiza (AM) är en sådan typ som bildas av svampar som inte kan leva utan värdväxter. AM-svamp hämtar sin energi från rötter, samtidigt tar svampen upp viktiga växtnäriArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi colonise a wide range of plant species and are especially common in soils with a relatively high pH, where phosphorus availability is a limiting factor for primary production. The aim of this thesis was to study the ecophysiology of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi when exposed to different environments. Development of AM fungi and their host plants were investig
A order 3-bit continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADC is presented in this paper. The design equations starting from a discrete-time reference modulator to the circuit implementation are given. The non-return to zero (NRZ) DAC pulses have a half clock cycle loopdelay which is corrected by the feedforward (also known as PI) loop delay compensation, and nonlinearities in the DACs are suppressed by data-weighted
[Context and Motivation] The main role of requirements engineering (RE) is to guide development projects towards implementing products that will appeal to customers. To effectively achieve this RE needs to be coordinated with and clearly communicated to the later software development activities. [Question/Problem] Communication gaps between RE and other development activities reduce coordination a
Clustering is a key concept of existing MIMO channel models, such as the COST 2100 model. Parameter based clustering has been studied for a while, but how parameter based clusters relate to the physical environment is not well known yet. A measurement based ray launching tool is developed and used for studying clustering and its relation to physical scatterers. By using estimated angles and delays
The problem of burst losses in OBS networks has an impact on the service quality perceived by end users. In order to guarantee certain level of Service Quality (QoS) in terms of burst losses, wavelength resources have to be dimensioned properly. In this paper, we address the problem of the Virtual Topology (VT) design that concerns the establishment of explicit routing paths and the allocation of
This article presents an architecture of a Digital Front-End Receiver (DFE-Rx) for the next-generation mobile terminals. A main focus is placed in flexibility, scalability and concurrency. The architecture is capable of detecting, synchronizing and reporting carrier-frequency offset, of multiple concurrent radio standards. The proposed receiver is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS low power high-VT cell t
This paper focuses on the complicated matter of interpreting the use of Roman drinking vessels found in Roman Iron Age graves in Scandinavia. It will primarily build on a number of theoretical standpoints, which are believed to broaden our understanding of the presence of these vessels in the Scandinavian mortuary context, and give us alternatives to the conventional interpretations within Roman I
Creation and adoption of corporate policies requires significant commitment of scarce senior management resources. In the absence of processes and tools, convergence upon final policy and may not be achieved in a timely manner. Significant similarities between policy and requirements documents suggest that requirements engineering techniques could be used to generate policy. However, neither evide
This paper presents an analysis on energy dissipation of a digital half band filters operated in the the sub-threshold (sub-VT ) region with throughput constraints. The degradation of speed in the sub-VT domain is counteracted by unfolding the architectures. A filter is implemented in a basic 12-bit and its various unfolded structures. The designs are synthesized in a 65 nm low-leakage high-thresh
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tumörer uppstår då celler i kroppen plötsligt börjar växa och dela sig obehindrat. Tumöromvandlingen är ett resultat av mutationer i cellens gener som kontrollerar hur celler tillväxer och differentieras. Sådana gener kallas för onkgener och suppressorgener. Tumörer som respekterar sin omgivning kallas för benigna men så snart de börjar växa invasivt in i omkringliggandNatural killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes are the major effector cells that can recognize and kill tumor cells. NK cells have a constitutive cytotoxic activity and kill a wide spectrum of tumor cells while T cells recognize specific tumor antigens and need to be activated through their TCR to differentiate into cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) killers or T helper cells. Interleukin-2 is the principa
Wireless communication using very-large multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas is a new research field, where base stations are equipped with a very large number of antennas as compared to previously considered systems. In theory, as the number of antennas increases, propagation properties that were random before start to become deterministic. Theoretical investigations with independent id
This paper presents a highly parallelized MIMO signal detection algorithm targeting vector-based reconfigurable architectures. The detector achieves high data-level parallelism and near-ML performance by adopting a vector-architecture-friendly technique - parallel node perturbation. To further reduce the computational complexity, imbalanced node and successive partial node expansion schemes in con
This paper presents a double directional analysis of vehicle-to-vehicle channel measurements conducted in two different traffic environments. Using a high-resolution algorithm, we derive channel parameters like angle-of- arrival, angle-of-departure, propagation delay and Doppler’s spread and identify underlying propagation mechanisms by combining these estimates with maps of the measurement sites.
