Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for operating, designing, testing and verifying the performance of wireless communication devices. Specifically, the present systems and methods can passively attenuate unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) without degrading signal quality of predetermined frequency using a novel versatile module including a RF absorbing material in a composite medium surrounding the conducting signal lines. Utilizing varying permeability media, the present invention offer a robust platform to eliminate unwanted noise while maintaining a desirable control and power interfaces used for testing of wireless communication systems.

Abstract: A multipath channel emulation system and method are disclosed. In some aspects, the system and method allow for analog emulation of a multipath MIMO wireless channel. Such multipath channel emulation system is used for testing the ability of wireless communication devices to operate in an airlink channel characterized by multipath. In a particular aspect, an impedance mismatch or discontinuity is provided in an open-ended coaxial cable so as to cause multiple back and forth reflections between an impedance discontinuity and an open coaxial cable stub and, optionally, including a delay element to emulate a multi-cluster multipath environment. A plurality of such stub subsystems may be combined as sub-paths in a multipath channel emulator.

Abstract: A system for aligning substrates when preparing flat panel displays by lithography. A spherical reflector (imaging mirror) is used to focus a small geometric object, such as a cross, etched at the center of the reflector. The cross is projected toward a beam splitter and is then reflected onto the mirror which, in turn, images it on the surface of the substrate being used in the lithographic process. This optical system, which has a numerical aperture of about 0.05 radians, provides maximum depth of field with essentially no aberrations, and produces a relatively large probe image on a large alignment mark.The surface of the substrate carries a grid of stepped patterns as an alignment mark. The steps diffract the light received, and the diffracted light passes through a lens system to a sensor associated with the lens system. The amount of light diffracted is dependent upon where the image strikes the steps in the grid.
