Abstract: An adaptive pre-equalizer is disclosed to compensate amplitude ripples in a low cost transmitter pass-band filter. A filtered-x LMS algorithm is proposed to calculate the equalizer coefficients. To this purpose, the modulated RF signal is demodulated at the transmitter and subtracted from a filtered version of the original base band signal. The impulse response of the low-cost transmit filter is approximated by a delay. The disclosure may be applied to direct conversion or heterodyne transmitters using OFDM.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for estimating timing error in a digital signal receiver from a difference between an arrival time of a first training sequence and an arrival time of a second training sequence in the digital signal receiver. Time domain representations of the timing sequence data are converted into frequency domain representations and used to calculate a complex cross power spectrum. The timing error is obtained by determining an average phase of the complex cross power spectrum. The timing error is then used to calculate an accurate value for the clock rate of the digital signal transmitter.

Abstract: A catheter with proximal and distal ends having a spiral centering device attached near the catheter distal end. The spiral centering device has at least one spiral strut having a proximal end and a distal end. The spiral centering device resiliently tends to center the distal end portion of the catheter, steering the catheter away from the vessel wall during insertion through the vasculature and toward the treatment site.
