摘要： A reconfigurable linear array of sensors (e.g., optical, thermal, pressure, ultrasonic). The reconfigurability allows the size and spacing of the sensor elements to be a function of the distance from the beam center. This feature improves performance for imaging systems having a limited channel count. The improved performance, for applications in which multiple transmit focal zones are employed, arises from the ability to adjust the aperture for a particular depth.

摘要： An integrated high-voltage switching circuit includes a switch having ON and OFF states and having a parasitic gate capacitance. The switch consists of a pair of DMOS transistors integrated back to back and having a shared gate terminal, the drains of the DMOS transistors being connected to the input and output terminals of the switch respectively. The switching circuit further includes a turn-on circuit comprising a PMOS transistor having its drain connected to the shared gate terminal of the switch via a first diode, having its source connected to a global switch gate bias voltage terminal from which the PMOS transistor draws current, and having its gate electrically coupled to a switch gate control terminal that receives a switch gate control voltage input. The switch transitions from the OFF state to the ON state in response to a first transition of the switch gate control voltage input that causes the PMOS transistor to turn on, and the switch remains in the ON state in response to a second transition of the switch gate control voltage input that causes the PMOS transistor to turn off. The DMOS transistors turn on in response to the shared gate being coupled to the switch gate bias voltage when the PMOS transistor turns on.

摘要： A turbo decoder system utilizing a MAP decoding algorithm has a predetermined number of turbo decoder modules for decoding segments of a turbo code component code word in parallel, thereby expanding the block-length and data-rate capability of the turbo decoder system. Input data samples are provided to an interleaver/de-interleaver module wherein they are divided into segments of predetermined size, each segment being provided to a respective turbo decoder module. The outputs of each turbo decoder module are a posteriori probabilities which are re-ordered in the interleaver/de-interleaver module, segmented, and provided back to the turbo decoders as a priori information-bit probabilities. For the case of a turbo code comprising two component codes, the a posteriori information-bit probabilities are re-ordered according to the interleaver definition at the end of odd-numbered half iterations, while at the end of even-numbered half iterations, they are re-ordered according to the de-interleaver definition. Decoding continues until the desired number of iterations have been performed. Data decisions are made on the final a posteriori bit probability estimates.
