Many of the latest devices are capable of supporting a broad range of content types and media formats including those often associated with high quality (wider dynamic-range) experiences such as HDTV, Blu-ray or DVD. However, portable media devices are generally challenged in terms of maintaining consistent loudness and intelligibility across varying media and content types on either their internal speaker(s) and/or headphone outputs.

  • Le Décibel ( Db ) Est Un Sous-Multiple Du Bel, Correspondant À 1 Dixième De Bel
    Emploi du Décibel, unité relative ou unité absolue Le décibel ( dB ) est un sous-multiple du bel, correspondant à 1 dixième de bel. Nommé en l’honneur de l'inventeur Alexandre Graham Bell, le bel est unité de mesure logarithmique du rapport entre deux puissances, connue pour exprimer la puissance du son. Grandeur sans dimension en dehors du système international, le bel n'est pas l'unité la plus fréquente. Le décibel est plus couramment employé. Équivalent à 1/10 de bel, le décibel comme le bel, peut être utilisé dans les domaines de l’acoustique, de la physique, de l’électronique et est largement répandue dans l’ensemble des champs de l’ingénierie (fiabilité, inférence bayésienne, etc.). Cette unité est particulièrement pertinente dans les domaines où la perception humaine est mise en jeu, car la loi de Weber-Fechner stipule que la sensation ressentie varie comme le logarithme de l’excitation. où S est la sensation perçue, I l'intensité de la stimulation et k une constante. Histoire des bels et décibels Le bel (symbole B) est utilisé dans les télécommunications, l’électronique, l’acoustique ainsi que les mathématiques. Inventé par des ingénieurs des Laboratoires Bell pour mesurer l’atténuation du signal audio sur une distance d’un mile (1,6 km), longueur standard d’un câble de téléphone, il était appelé unité de « transmission » à l’origine, ou TU (Transmission unit ), mais fut renommé en 1923 ou 1924 en l’honneur du fondateur du laboratoire et pionnier des télécoms, Alexander Graham Bell . Définition, usage en unité relative Si on appelle X le rapport de deux puissances P1 et P0, la valeur de X en bel (B) s’écrit : On peut également exprimer X dans un sous multiple du bel, le décibel (dB) un décibel étant égal à un dixième de bel.: Si le rapport entre les deux puissances est de : 102 = 100, cela correspond à 2 bels ou 20 dB.

Lindseth, Bradley James (Ph.D., Electrical Engineering) A 449 MHz Modular Wind Profiler Radar System Thesis directed by Professor Zoya Popović and Dr. William O.J. Brown This thesis presents the design of a 449 MHz radar for wind profiling, with a focus on modularity, antenna sidelobe reduction, and solid-state transmitter design. It is one of the first wind profiler radars to use low-cost LDMOS power amplifiers combined with spaced antennas. The system is portable and designed for 2-3 month deployments. The transmitter power amplifier consists of multiple 1-kW peak power modules which feed 54 antenna elements arranged in a hexagonal array, scalable directly to 126 elements. The power amplifier is operated in pulsed mode with a 10% duty cycle at 63% drain efficiency.

  • Understanding Db Db Is an Abbreviation for "Decibel"
    Understanding dB dB is an abbreviation for "decibel". One decibel is one tenth of a Bel, named for Alexander Graham Bell. The measurement quoted in dB describes the ratio (10 log power difference, 20 log voltage difference, etc.) between the quantity of two levels, the level being measured and a reference. To describe an absolute value, the reference point must be known. There are a number of different reference points defined. Here are a few: dBV represents the level compared to 1 Volt RMS. 0dBV = 1V. There is no reference to impedance. dBu represents the level compared to 0.775 Volts RMS with an unloaded, open circuit, source (u = unloaded). dBm represents the power level compared to 1 mWatt. This is a level compared to 0.775 Volts RMS across a 600 Ohm load impedance. Note that this is a measurement of power, not a measurement of voltage. dbFS - relative to digital full-scale. dB SPL - A measure of sound pressure level. A few easy-to-remember facts that may help: If you're dealing with voltage measurments, convert from dBV to dBu: 1dBV equals +2.2dBu. +4dBu equals 1.23 Volts RMS. The reference level of -10dBV is the equivalent to a level of -7.8dBu. +4dBu and -10dBV systems have a level difference of 11.8 dB and not 14 dB. This is almost a voltage ratio of 4:1 (Don't forget the difference between dBu and dbV !!) dBFS - dB Full Scale 0 dBFS represents the highest possible level in digital gear. All other measurements expressed in terms of dBFS will always be less than 0 dB (negative numbers).

  • A Continuous-Time Programmable Digital FIR Filter
    IEEE 2005 CUSTOM INTEGRATED CIRCUITS CONFERENCE A Continuous-Time Programmable Digital FIR Filter Y.W.Li,K.L.Shepard,andY.P.Tsividis Columbia Integrated Systems Laboratory Columbia University, New York, New York 10027 Email: {ywli,shepard,tsividis}@cisl.columbia.edu Abstract We describe the design and implementation of a continuous- time finite-impulse-response processor chain, which includes a six-bit asynchronous ADC, an asynchronous digital core and an eight-bit asynchronous DAC designed in TSMC 0.25 μm technology. Continuous-time operation avoids aliasing and the AADC Delay Elements quantization noise associated with the aliasing of harmonic components. We present measurement results demonstrating an audio low-pass-filter with a bandwidth of 6.0 kHz implemented with this processor. Introduction Digital Core Conventional digital signal processing systems, which are dis- crete in time and discrete in amplitude (DTDA), are characterized by the deleterious effects of aliasing and quantization noise. Con- ADAC ventional analog systems, which process the signal continuously in time and amplitude (CTCA), do not suffer from these concerns. Analog systems, however, have high sensitivity to component tolerances and matchings, their dynamic range is comparatively low, and reconfigurability is limited and, usually, difficult. The Fig. 1. Die photo of the CTDA asynchronous filter in a TSMC 0.25μm merits and shortcomings of these systems are complementary, and process this motivates a desire to find a signal processing system which combines the best attributes of both DTDA and CTCA systems. The focus of this work is to explore the relatively new area of Overall chip architecture systems which achieve exactly this combination of attributes by being discrete in amplitude but continuous in time (CTDA).
