Abstract: Various integrated high quality electronic components and systems, and methods of their manufacture, are presented. In one example, a device includes a glass substrate or interposer including one or more metalized through-glass vias (TGVs). The one or more metalized TGVs can be used to form a substrate integrated waveguide, a complementary split ring resonator, a disc loaded monopole antenna or other device. An array of metalized TGVs can define side walls of the integrated waveguide. A disc coupled to a tip of a metalized TGV can provide capacitive disc loading of the monopole antenna.

Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) host adapting apparatus comprising: a storage block for storing packet information, received cells, and parameters; an ATM network interface handling block for performing direct memory access of ATM cells and parameter stored therein, segmenting transmit packet information, reassembling received cells, transmitting and receiving the ATM cells to physical media cell received, and arbitrating in the direct memory access; and a secondary interface block for connecting the storage block to the ATM network interface handling block.

Abstract: A direct memory read and cell transmission apparatus for an ATM cell segmentation system having a host CPU is disclosed. The segmentation circuit of the apparatus transfers the address and size for the start of the DMA by the byte unit. When a predetermined information is provided, and a DMA read is requested, the data is transferred through the bus of the word unit such as the PCI interface, and then necessary bytes are obtained for thereby forming a 32 bit word stream, so that the ATM cell of a 32 bit×12 word form and transfers to the lower circuit. Therefore, when the segmentation circuit processes the buffer, all data are computed by the byte unit, and in an application program, the data are not obtained for transmitting the data to the ATM cell, so that it is possible to enhance the processing capability.

Abstract: A finite impulse response (FIR) filter for wave-shaping digital quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols is disclosed, in which multipliers are replaced with multiplexers, the replaced multiplexers are utilized to receive the symbols directly from a symbol encoder without zero (0) interpolations, and the critical path is reduced by shifting the position of a delay device. The filter includes a first FIR means for delaying the externally inputted symbol data, and for utilizing the delayed symbol data as selection signals to sum up the selected multiplication product (selected from among products obtained by multiplying the symbol values by a pre-set filter tab coefficient) and the selected value selected by a first multiplexing means. A second FIR means delays again the delayed symbol data of the first FIR means, and utilizes the delayed symbol data as selection signals to sum up the selected multiplication product and the output value of the first FIR means.
