Communication systems with multiple computing resources are gaining popularity. These devices consume a considerable amount of energy, and require that the system resources be fully utilized at all times. In this paper, we aim to reduce the energy consumption and also improve the system utilization by incorporating performance-enhancement and power-optimization techniques into a multi-resource heterogeneous communication system. We study the performance and energy improvements contributed by our techniques, using a traditional evaluation framework. However, this framework fails to clearly model the performance-energy tradeoffs in the system. Hence, we propose a more relevant framework with a new metric named Energy-resource efficiency (ERE) to study these systems. ERE defines a link between the performance and energy variations in a system to clearly highlight the various performance-energy tradeoffs. Our experimental results shown that, when ERE is used to calibrate the performance-energy tradeoffs, one can achieve up to 80% performance and energy gains in a power-aware heterogeneous communication system.

An 8-bit, 150 MS/s folding interpolating ADC in a digital CMOS technology is described. The developed converter uses resistor interpolation method along with the fully-differential, continuous-time, and open-loop circuitry in order to achieve a high speed operation with low area and power consumption. Also the number of latches in the digital encoder block is reduced using previously described analog encoding. The simulation results of the converter in 0.25 μm CMOS are presented. The ADC power dissipation from a 3V power supply is 310 mW at 150 MHz sampling rate.

This paper presents the verification process performed during the development of an automotive platform suited to interface a generic sensor. The platform aims to reduce the cost of the analog circuitry needed to interface the sensor, by massive usage of digital electronic, and by addressing a wide class of automotive applications based on sensor signal elaboration. Particularly, all the verification steps from identification of the right level of abstraction and hierarchy, platform hardware-software co-simulation and prototype hardware emulation are described.

Transmit diversity is a very attractive solution for efficient communications through fading wireless channels. The paper presents some aspects concerning the synthesis of the coding matrix in a multiantenna configuration. Because no optimal (maximum coding advantage, maximum transmission rate, minimum delay) codes can be found for systems with more than two antennas, some sub-optimal solutions are analyzed.

The purpose of this work is to stimulate a neural network with non-linear activation functions. The non-linear functions are simulated in Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6.0 to observe the precision and to implement on the programmable logic devices. This network is realized to accept very small input values. The multiplication between input values and weight values is realized with the add-logarithm and exponential functions. One approximates all the non-linear functions with linear functions using shift-add blocks.

The paper purpose is to present the existence and appearance of the slow oscillations, based on resonant jumps, in circuits or systems described by Duffing-type equation having a nonlinearity coefficient with inertial variation. The conditions necessary for jump producing and for slow oscillations appearance are emphasized. The theoretical approach is confirmed by numerical simulation.

This article presents a novel approach to implement PWM signal generator using CMOS transconductors, its scheme comprises CMOS Schmitt trigger and voltage to current converter. It can originate PWM signal over a wide frequency range arising from differentiation of modulating input signal in the provided time. The outstanding feature of the proposed scheme is that the PWM output has frequency-constant, which does not depend on amplitude of the modulating signal. This makes it suitable to use in application of adjacent frequency between carrier and modulating signal, which differs from the conventional PWM signal generators. The proposed circuit has relatively simpler scheme. It consists of exclusively 12 MOS transistors, 3 current sources, 1 capacitor and 2 resistors, thus it is suitable for further fabrication through CMOS technology. Furthermore, its frequency and amplitude of PWM output signal can be independently adjusted by electronic method. The SPICE simulation results are shown, which are in correspondence to theoretical anticipation.
