Jitter Analysis and a Benchmarking Figure-of-Merit for Phase-Locked Loops [PDF]
This brief analyzes the jitter as well as the power dissipation of phase-locked loops (PLLs). It aims at defining a benchmark figure-of-merit (FOM) that is compatible with the well-known FOM for oscillators but now extended to an entire PLL.

Evidence for adjustable bandwidth orientation channels
The standard model of early vision claims that orientation and spatial frequency are encoded with multiple, fixed-bandwidth, and approximately independent channels. The standard model was developed from observer data that used deterministic patterns such

Efficient Distributed Estimation of Inverse Covariance Matrices
In distributed systems, communication is a major concern due to issues such as its vulnerability or efficiency. In this paper, we are interested in estimating sparse inverse covariance matrices when samples are distributed into different machines.

Data-Driven Diagnostics of Mechanism and Source of Sustained Oscillations [PDF]
Sustained oscillations observed in power systems can damage equipment, degrade the power quality and increase the risks of cascading blackouts. There are several mechanisms that can give rise to oscillations, each requiring different countermeasure to ...

Design of Novel Reconfigurable Filter With Simultaneously Tunable and Switchable Passband
This paper presents a new loading scheme for adding the varactor and PIN diodes into a quarter-wavelength (λ/4) resonator. Based on this, a novel reconfigurable filter with simultaneously tunable and switchable passband is introduced.

Group-delay measurement of frequency-converting devices using a comb generator [PDF]
We propose a new method for the measurement of (group) delay from the radio-frequency (RF) input to the intermediate-frequency (IF) output of a mixer or a receiver.

A genetic algorithm based approach to fiber design for high coherence and large bandwidth supercontinuum generation [PDF]
We present a new approach to the design of optical microstructured fibers that have group velocity dispersion (GVD) and effective nonlinear coefficient (gamma ) tailored for supercontinuum (SC) generation.

Optical sum rule violation, superfluid weight and condensation energy in the cuprates
The model of hole superconductivity predicts that the superfluid weight in the zero-frequency $\delta$-function in the optical conductivity has an anomalous contribution from high frequencies, due to lowering of the system's kinetic energy upon entering ...

A lack of standard approaches for testing and reporting the performance of metal halide perovskites and organic semiconductor radiation detectors has resulted in inconsistent interpretation of performance parameters, impeding progress in the field. This Perspective recommends key metrics and experimental details, which are suggested for reporting in ...
