Abstract: A fluid-atomization manifold (50) for use in a misting system (20) configured to distribute a fluid (24) and to render that fluid (24) into a mist (26) is provided. The fluid-atomization manifold (50) has an input connector (54) coupled to a connector (44) of an interface fitting (36) coupled to fluid-distribution tubing (34) of the misting system (20). The fluid-atomization manifold (50) has a plurality of output connectors (56), wherein a connector (48) of each of a plurality of fluid-atomization nozzles (46) of the misting system (20) is configured to mate with the connector (44) of the interface fitting (36) and is coupled to one of the output connectors (56) of the fluid-atomization manifold (50).

Abstract: A digital communications modulator (10) includes a low speed IC (12) which performs encoding, symbol generation, pulse shaping, interpolation, linearization, and small amounts of frequency tuning. A complex, baseband digital communications signal (34) is output from the low speed IC (12) as a plurality of parallel streams of digital words. In a digital tuner 14 which includes a high speed IC (20), these parallel streams are digitally combined and digitally up-converted to an IF digital data stream (68) that may have a center frequency many times the baud rate. The high speed IC (20) also converts the digital stream to a broadband analog signal (40). The broadband analog signal (40) is processed through an analog band pass filter (42) that removes spectral images, reduces quantization errors, and limits the bandwidth approximately to the baud rate.
