PCI Express is high-speed point-to-point serial protocol, the system is designed by analysing loss and jitter through Eye Diagram. It is necessarily analyzing high speed serial signals when the PCI Express Gen3 which has 8Gbps physical signal speed is designed especially. This paper deals with topology extraction, channel analysis, extraction of s-parameters and system signal integrity simulation within transceiver buffer models through PCI Express Gen3 server connecting switch system design. Optimal parameters of transmitter buffer equalizer are found through solution space simulation of de-emphasis and preshoot parameters to compensate channel loss.

This paper proposes a new concept of a signal constellation of the recently introduced half-symbol-rate-carrier phase-shift keying (HSRC-PSK) modulations for bandwidth-efficient high speed data communications. Since the HSRC-PSK modulations contain different symbol energies representing the same bit sequences due to the loss of orthogonality of their HSRC signals, it is very hard to represent the symbol using the conventional signal constellation. To resolve the problem, two different energies are assigned to represent one symbol for the HSRC offset quadrature phase shift keying (OQPSK) modulation. Similarly, the different energies exist to display the different symbol for HSRC minimum shift keying (MSK) modulation. With the proposed signal space representation, HSRC-PSK symbol can easily be shown with a two-dimensional scatter plot which provides helpful information of evaluating HSRC-PSK signal's quality.

We report the HST pixel analysis results of the interacting S0 galaxy, NGC 5195 (M51B), using the HST/ACS images in the F435W, F555W and F814W (BVI) bands. After 4x4 binning of the HST/ACS images to secure sufficient signal-to-noise ratio for each pixel, we derive several quantities describing the pixel color-magnitude diagram (pCMD) of NGC 5195, such as blue/red color cut, red pixel sequence parameters, blue pixel sequence parameters and blue-to-red pixel ratio. Those parameters reflect the internal properties of NGC 5195 like age, metallicity, dust content and galaxy morphology. To investigate the spatial distributions of stellar populations, we divide pixel stellar populations using the pixel color-color diagram and population synthesis models. As a result, we find that the tidal interaction with NGC 5194 significantly affects the stellar populations in their dust content and mean stellar age.

This paper deals with a systematic approach for the construction of the fixed-delay tree search (FDTS) detector in the intersymbol interference channel. The approach is based on the efficient multi-dimensional space partitioning. The Voronoi diagram (VoD) and the Delaunay tessellation (DT) of the multi-dimensional space are applied to implement the algorithm. In the proposed approach, utilizing the geometric information contained in the VOD/DT, the relative location of the observation sequence is determined which has been shown to reduce the implementation complexity. Detailed construction procedures are discussed followed by an example from the intersymbol interference communication channel.

In this paper, we have proposed gigabit serial transceiver based on backplane architecture at the satellite communication digital transponder. The transponder supports the full combinational switching function with broadband multi-channel using programmable device - Xilinx space-grade Virtex-5 FPGA. In order to implement the switching function, GTX transceiver solution inside Virtex-5 FPGA is used. Also hardware implementation is simple because of no additional component. In order to use a GTX transceiver, signal integrity(SI) simulation of PCB design is essential. We investigate the characteristics of the S-parameter, eye diagram, channel jitter of GTX transmission line and conform that GTX Transceiver operates without error. Finally the proposed PCB design will be utilized at satellite communication digital transponder EQM-2(Engineering Qualification Model-2).

We investigated the qualitive and quantitative properties in EEG signal which responds to auditory stimulus with increaing the sound-cutting frequency from 2 Hz to 20 Hz by 2 Hz step units, by chaotic dynamics. To bigin with, general chaotic properties such as fractal mechanism, 1 If frequency spectrum and positive Lyapunov exponent are discussed in EEG signal. For evoked potential with given auditory stimulus, the route to chaos by bifurcation diagram and the changes in geometrical property of Poincare sections of 2-dimensional psedophase space is observed. For that containing spontaneous potential, seen as the random background signal, the chaotic attractors in 3-dimensional phase space are found containing the same infomation as the above mentioned evoked potential. Finally the chinges of Lyapunov exponent by various sound-cutting frequencies of stimulus and by the various spatial positions (occipital region) in a brain surface to be measured, are illustrated meaningfully.

A new log-domain first-order multifunction filter is proposed in this letter. The proposed filter is systematically derived using the state-space synthesis procedure from a corresponding block diagram. It provides low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), and all-pass (AP) responses simultaneously for a single input signal. The filter circuit has a very simple structure since it uses only bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and a grounded capacitor. It can be electronically tuned by changing an external current. The filter has a greater bandwidth due to its inherent current-mode and log-domain operations. PSPICE simulations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

This study proposed signal processing techniques and neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM) to detect epileptic seizure from EEG signals. This study used wavelet transform(WT), sequential increment method, and phase space reconstruction(PSR) as signal processing techniques. In the first step of signal processing techniques, wavelet coefficients were extracted from EEG signals using the WT. In the second step, sequential increment method was used to extract peaks from the wavelet coefficients. In the third step, 3D diagram was produced from the extracted peaks using the PSR. The Euclidean distances and statistical methods were used to extract 16 features used as inputs for NEWFM. The proposed methodology shows that accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity are 97.5%, 100%, 95% with 16 features, respectively.

We compiled near-infrared photometric and polarimetric catalog of sources in ~3 $9^{\prime}{\times}69^{\prime}$ size field in the eastern side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This catalog lists all 1969 sources which are brighter than 14 mag and which signal to noise ratio of degree of polarization is greater than 3 in the J, H, and Ks bands. The photometric and polarimetric data were simultaneously obtained in J, H, and Ks bands using SIRPOL, an imaging polarimeter of the InfraRed Survey Facility (IRSF), in 2008 December and 2011 December. We classified the objects into several groups based on their locations on the color-magnitude diagram and compared their general properties of polarization. We measured wavelength dependence of this field to verify interstellar polarization of the LMC which occurred from the dichroic extinction. We also discuss the polarization structure in this field with the results from molecular cloud studies.

This paper presents a novel signal tracking algorithm for GNSS receivers using a MLE technique. In order to perform a robust signal tracking in severe signal environments, e.g., high dynamics for navigation vehicles or weak signals for indoor positioning, the MLE based signal tracking approach is adopted in the paper. With assuming white Gaussian additive noise, the cost function of MLE is expanded to the cost function of NLSE. Efficient and practical approach for Doppler frequency tracking by the MLE is derived based on the assumption of code-free signals, i.e., the cost function of the MLE for carrier Doppler tracking is used to derive a discriminator function to create error signals from incoming and reference signals. The use of the MLE method for carrier tracking makes it possible to generalize the MLE equation for arbitrary codes and modulation schemes. This is ideally suited for various GNSS signals with same structure of tracking module. This paper proposes two different types of MLE based tracking method, i.e., an iterative batch processing method and a non-iterative feed-forward processing method. The first method is derived without any limitation on time consumption, while the second method is proposed for a time limited case by using a 1st derivative of cost function, which is proportional to error signal from discriminators of conventional tracking methods. The second method can be implemented by a block diagram approach for tracking carrier phase, Doppler frequency and code phase with assuming no correlation of signal parameters. Finally, a state space form of FLL/PLL/DLL is adopted to the designed MLE based tracking algorithm for reducing noise on the estimated signal parameters.
