Basics of Dual-Polarized Antennas

EBook Description: This tutorial provides an in-depth explanation of antenna pattern measurement techniques used to determine the performance of dual-polarized antennas and of some antenna characteristics that are unique to antennas used in a polarization diversity scheme.

The objective of this tutorial is to present an overview of the methodologies and tools that make up business process improvement. Additionally, it will allow organizations to self-assess their need for a process revolution.

Creating Safe State Machines

This paper discuses a general methodology when creating a state machine using the HDL Designer Series� State Diagram Editor. You can specify the design so that synthesis tools will not optimize away those unused states, and thus a 'safe' state machine can be generated.

Design Considerations for Gigabit Backplane Systems

This tutorial explores high-speed backplane-interconnect system tradeoffs related to the effects on increases in bandwidth on the signal path from driver to receiver through printed circuit boards (PCBs).

High-Availability Considerations for Softswitch-Based Networks

This tutorial examines the softswitch-based network architecture required to realize the new network office, describes the types of faults that can impact its availability, and discusses techniques that can be used to achieve high availability.

Highly Available Embedded Computer Platforms Become Reality

This tutorial examines multiple fault-management processes and high-availability models and concludes by presenting a Compact peripheral component interconnect (PCI)� system for both architectures.

The Human-Machine Interface (HMI)

This tutorial introduces the underlying principles of good HMI design and outlines a core usability engineering lifecycle.

Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)

This tutorial discusses the technological advantages that LVDS brings to high-speed digital data transfer (100 Mbps and higher) applications.

New Information Industry

This tutorial examines the possible ramifications of the ongoing technological transformation of the information industry. It provides an overview of the industry as it stands today, a projection of the industry's future alignment, the sociological factors involved in its evolution, and the essential building blocks companies will need to compete.

Signal Integrity�Multi-Gigabit Transmission over Backplane Systems

This tutorial will focus on the elements that comprise the signal path in copper backplane system to determine the effects of running point-to-point differential signals at speeds up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps).

Specification and Description Language (SDL)

This tutorial discusses the applications and reasons for the use of specification and description language (SDL).
