Abstract: A low cost, reduced complexity antenna fabrication scheme employs a section of a thin, lightweight flex circuit decal, rather than a wire, as the antenna's radiation element. In order to support and contour the flex circuit decal in a three-dimensional (e.g., helical) shape, the flex circuit is attached to a support core that conforms with the intended three-dimensional shape of the antenna. To reduce the hardware and assembly complexity of using an electro-mechanical connector to interface the antenna radiator and its associated feed, the signal coupling interface for the antenna is effected by electromagnetically coupling of a segment of the flex circuit to a section of transmission line spatially located in close proximity to the antenna.

Abstract: A system for monitoring instrumented equipment (110) comprises sensors monitored from the instrumented equipment, an information processor (545), a data acquisition input to the information processor for receiving operational values descriptive of physical parameters of the system from the sensors. A memory (551) coupled with the data acquisition input stores a set of time-correlated sensor data representative of expected operational states, and observed signals. The information processor generates an output value descriptive of a parameter of the instrumented equipment and observed signals and obtains a similarity measure between the expected operational states and the observed signals. The similarity measure is obtained using an output value from the information processor and a value representing an expected state of the system, and is a value within a range. One end of the range means the compared values have no similarity and the other end means the compared values are identical.

Abstract: Double balanced mixers having transistor pairs are affected by area mismatches between the transistors. The area mismatches can be represented as a ratio between the mixer core transistors that is directly related to voltage. Thus, an input voltage into one of the mixer core transistors in a transistor pair can compensate for the area mismatch. The compensation is achieved by a voltage track and hold feedback loop to one of the mixer core transistors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a pitch using frequency analysis are provided. An externally input digital signal is analyzed into frequency component values at predetermined time intervals, and positions of peaks of the digital signal are detected based on the frequency component values. It is determined whether a frequency at a maximum peak position among the peak positions is a pitch or a n-order harmonic frequency of the pitch to detect a pitch. Then, the range of the pitch is determined based on the range of a harmonic frequency of the detected pitch. Accordingly, an error range for the pitch detected using frequency analysis is minimized, thereby more exactly detecting a pitch when the pitch is detected using the frequency analysis.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser having a low beam divergence is disclosed. The laser includes at least one waveguide comprising an active layer generating an optical gain by injection of a current, a photonic band gap crystal having the refractive index modulation in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of the emitted light, and at least one defect. The active layer is preferably placed within the defect. The photonic band gap crystal and the defect are optimized such that the fundamental mode of laser radiation is localized at the defect and decays away from the defect, while the other optical modes are extended over the photonic band gap crystal. Localization of the fundamental mode at the defect results in the relative enhancement of the amplitude of the mode with respect to the other modes. Therefore, there is a larger confinement factor of the fundamental mode as compared to the confinement factor of the other modes. This enables efficient single-mode lasing from the laser having an extended waveguide.
