Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention transmit and detect electromagnetic signals using an offset IQ modulation technique. Offset IQ modulation systems use a digital to analog converter to generate a transmitted waveform that is frequency offset from direct current by an amount equal or larger than half the signal bandwidth, so that the level of any local oscillator leakage present within the frequency band containing the transmitted signal is insignificant. When the transmitted signal is received, an IQ mixer is also used to down convert the received signal. In many embodiments, the down converted signal is over sampled and provided to a digital signal processing system to perform linear filtering to remove intermodulation and/or crossmodulation components that can be introduced by nonlinearities in components such as (but not limited to) Power Amplifiers, Low Noise Amplifiers and/or the IQ mixer used during the down conversion.

Abstract: A building siding panel and assembly each assembly having a plurality of interconnecting siding panels that are attached to the building using fasteners that are driven into the building through a plurality of aligned and spaced apart slot pairs in a uniform manner that reduces the distortion that accompanies thermal expansion and/or contraction of the siding material.
