Patent EP-0782282-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERGANO NEAL S
IPC: H04B10/135
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided that yields improved performance by modulating the optical phase and polarization of an optical signal with a periodic waveform having harmonic content that is more complex than that associated with a simple sinusoidal waveform. A phase modulator receives an optical signal onto which data has been modulated at a predetermined frequency. The phase modulator modulates the phase of the optical signal in a continuous manner with the periodic waveform with complex harmonics where the fundamental phase modulation frequency is equal to the same predetermined frequency at which the data is modulated onto the optical signal. In another illustrative embodiment of the invention, a polarization modulator further processes the optical signal by modulating the state-of-polarization of the signal in a continuous fashion with the periodic waveform with complex harmonics where the fundamental polarization modulation frequency is equal to the same predetermined frequency at which the data is modulated onto the optical signal. In addition to being continuously modulated, the polarization modulation is performed so that the average value of the state of polarization over each modulation cycle is substantially equal to zero.

Abstract: A precision analog metal-metal capacitor is fabricated by forming a first capacitor plate in an insulation layer by forming a trench therein, depositing metal within the trench and planarizing the device. A thin dielectric layer is then deposited and patterned over the first capacitor plate. A second insulator is then deposited over the device and discrete openings etched therein to expose the insulation layer and first metal plate. Metal is deposited within the openings and planarized, thereby forming a contact to the first metal plate and the second metal plate of the capacitor.

Abstract: An amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si TFT) or other a-Si device is produced by depositing and lithographically patterning a layer of doped semiconductor material (40) such as microcrystalline or polycrystalline silicon to produce a conductive lead (62). The semiconductor material is deposited over an insulating region (28) and over an exposed part of an amorphous silicon layer (26). The insulating region has an edge (32) that is over and approximately aligned with an edge (30) of a gate region (22). The doped semiconductor layer therefore forms a junction (42) to the amorphous silicon layer at the edge of the insulating region, approximately aligned with the edge of the gate region. Self-aligned lithographic patterning is performed in such a way that the conductive lead (62) overlaps the insulating region by a distance (Δ) that is no more than a maximum overlap distance (D MAX ).

Abstract: A frequency adjusting circuit for use with a digital
receiver is disclosed, the circuit comprising a means (mixers 3
and 4) for converting the frequency of a received digital
signal into an intermediate frequency signal, a local
oscillator (VCOs 7 and 8 and PLLs 9 and 10) for supplying a
local oscillation signal to the frequency converting means, and
a frequency adjusting means (20) for calculating a frequency
deviation of the intermediate frequency signal (D1) for each
sample, performing a predetermined calculation corresponding to
the measured value, and controlling the oscillation frequency
of the local oscillator corresponding to the obtained
calculated value, wherein the frequency adjusting means
compensates the calculated value corresponding to a receiving
electric field intensity of the intermediate frequency signal. 
     The frequency adjusting means includes a means
(calculating portion 23) for detecting a variation value of the
receiving electric field intensity, comparing the deviation
value with a threshold value, and when the variation value is
larger than the threshold value, removing the frequency
deviation at that time from those that are input from the
frequency adjusting means.

Abstract: In a method of transmitting an IP packet between a source
and a destination through an ATM network which has a node
formed by an ATM switch and a packet router, a reception
packet or cell is transmitted to the node on an unused or
undefined VC and is sent to the packet router in the node.
In the packet router, an output port is selected by the use
of the unused VC to establish a switched virtual channel in
the ATM switch and to transfer each packet through the
switched virtual channel after the switched virtual channel
is established, as long as the reception packet is sent on
the same VCI. Neither signaling nor protocol is needed
between the nodes.

Abstract: In a frequency synthesizer, a first pulse removing circuit (31) is connected between a reference signal generator (21) and a phase-frequency comparator (24). A second pulse removing circuit (32) is connected between a variable frequency divider (23) and the phase-frequency comparator. Responsive to first removing data indicative of a first pulse number, the first pulse removing circuit removes pulses from the reference signal that are equal in number to the first pulse number for a first predetermined cycle to produce a first pulse removed signal. Responsive to second removing data indicative of a second pulse number, the second pulse removing circuit removes pulses from the divided signal that are equal in number to the second pulse number for a second predetermined cycle to produce a second pulse removed signal. Responsive to a current command, a current controlling circuit may control current supplied from/to a charge pump circuit (25). A control circuit may be connected between the phase-frequency comparator and the charge pump circuit. A switch may be inserted between the loop filter and the voltage controlled oscillator. When the switch switches off a PLL, a D/A converter supplies a control voltage to the voltage controlled oscillator and a filter capacitor of the loop filter. The charge pump circuit may comprise a control circuit, a constant current circuit, an integrating circuit, and a sample and hold circuit.

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus includes an equalizer for delaying an input color signal by an adjustable phase retardation. A low pass filter is operative for delaying the input color signal by an adjustable phase retardation. A phase detector is operative for detecting a difference between a phase of an output signal of the equalizer and a phase of an output signal of the low pass filter, and outputting a signal representative of the detected phase difference. The phase retardation provided by the equalizer and the phase retardation provided by the low pass filter are adjusted in response to the output signal of the phase detector to maintain the difference between the phase of the output signal of the equalizer and the phase of the output signal of the low pass filter at a predetermined value, for example, 90 degrees.

Abstract: A data item in a data set having a virtual structure, each item having a
virtual location, is accessed by the following steps. A target location in
the structure corresponding to the data item to be accessed is
identified. A current location for the process is identified. The current
location is moved through the structure of the data set to the target
location, using a routing algorithm. When the current location is the
target location, the data item corresponding to the target location is
accessed. The same routing algorithm may be used for other
processes, and can increase the efficiency of accessing by reducing
conflict between access processes.
