Analysis of negative-resistance oscillators with piecewise nonlinearity
1977
An iterative method of solution of negative-resistance oscillators with piecewise-analytical characteristics is presented. The method allows the determination of the frequency and the harmonic content of the waveform as a function of the circuit parameters and bias of the nonlinear device. An application of the method, extended to the second order, for a polynomial characteristic limited by two straight lines is also reported. The results are compared with those obtained by numerical integration.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio in Bandpass Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Modulation Systems
1982
The effects of a linear transmission channel on the performance of a correlator receiver for a direct-sequence spreadspectrum system are analyzed and a complete treatment of the influence of a periodic spreading code is carried out. The output data signal is obtained as a function of the channel characteristic and the code sequence employed; this allows maximizing the output signal level and evaluation of the influence of the synchronization error of the local code. The asymptotic value of the correlation loss has also been derived together with the intersymbol inteference power. The general expression of a figure of merit of the effectiveness of the system is also obtained in simple terms …
Filtering out intersymbol interference in spread-spectrum communication systems
1979
In this letter the transfer characteristic of the optimum filter suitable for eliminating intersymbol interference in pseudo-noise spread-spectrum communication systems is determined. Such a characteristic is independent of the code sequence employed.
Quasi-sinusoidal oscillations in negative resistance devices with piece-wise analytical characteristics
1976
The second-order approximated solution of a negative resistance oscillator whose active device has a piece-wise analytical characteristic is presented. The frequency and the harmonic content of the oscillation waveform are obtained as functions of the circuit parameters and of the device bias.
Optimum pulse shape for minimum spectral occupancy in FSK signals
1984
The characteristics of a frequency shift keying (FSK) signal giving rise to maximum power within a prescribed frequency band are determined. The baseband pulse shape extends over any integer number of bit periods. An integral equation for the optimum pulse shape is derived and some simple properties of the solution are investigated. The equation has been solved for some values of the product of the prescribed band times the pulse duration and the signal shape is shown. Our results for the particular case of pulses only one bit period long are presented for purpose of comparison with results known in the literature. Plots of out-of-band power for some values of the prescribed band and of pul…
