  • Publication number: 20080273580
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system may provide a dynamically calculated cyclic extension, the length of which may be based at least in part on a delay spread due to an experienced environmental condition. The length of the cyclic extension may be calculated by determining a channel impulse response, and then computing the energy distribution of the channel impulse response. The length of the cyclic extension may then be set according to the energy distribution of the channel impulse response.

  • Publication number: 20070091005
    Abstract: Described herein are antennae that may provide a relatively compact design that has resonances at UHF (700 MHz), L-band (1.6 GHz), and S-band (2 GHz) to allow good performance in all of these bands. Normally television antennas are relatively large and on the order of a foot long or more due to the long wavelengths of the VHF/UHF band, however the antennae described herein may be relatively small.

  • Publication number: 20060107027
    Abstract: A micro-coded accelerator may comprise multiple programmable control units, multiple special function units, a cross-bar switch to connect any of the control units to any one or more of the special function units, and a global memory to facilitate processing by these units. Each control unit may have an array of programmable logic arrays (ARPLAs), each of which may be configured in various ways, a local memory, and a switch circuit to enable the components of the control unit to perform various operations. By configuring the ARPLAs, the control units' internal switch circuitry, and the cross-bar switch, the micro-coded accelerator may be dynamically reconfigured to perform multiple types of operations.
