Microwave Frequency Demodulation Using Two Coupled Optical Resonators with Modulated Refractive Index
PHYSICAL REVIEW APPLIED 15, 034056 (2021) Microwave Frequency Demodulation Using two Coupled Optical Resonators with Modulated Refractive Index Adam Mock * School of Engineering and Technology, Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48859, USA (Received 16 October 2020; revised 1 February 2021; accepted 10 February 2021; published 18 March 2021) Traditional electronic frequency demodulation of a microwave frequency voltage is challenging because it requires complicated phase-locked loops, narrowband filters with fixed passbands, or large footprint local oscillators and mixers. Herein, a different frequency demodulation concept is proposed based on refractive index modulation of two coupled microcavities excited by an optical wave. A frequency- modulated microwave frequency voltage is applied to two photonic crystal microcavities in a spatially odd configuration. The spatially odd perturbation causes coupling between the even and odd supermodes of the coupled-cavity system. It is shown theoretically and verified by finite-difference time-domain sim- ulations how careful choice of the modulation amplitude and frequency can switch the optical output from on to off. As the modulating frequency is detuned from its off value, the optical output switches from off to on. Ultimately, the optical output amplitude is proportional to the frequency deviation of the applied voltage making this device a frequency-modulated-voltage to amplitude-modulated-optical- wave converter. The optical output can be immediately detected and converted to a voltage that would result in a frequency-demodulated voltage signal. Or the optical output can be fed into a larger radio- over-fiber optical network. In this case the device presents a compact, low power, and tunable route for multiplexing frequency-modulated voltages with amplitude-modulated optical communication systems.

NTE15039 Integrated Circuit VHS/VCR Chroma Signal Proessor for NTSC/PAL/SECAM Systems
NTE15039 Integrated Circuit VHS/VCR Chroma Signal Proessor for NTSC/PAL/SECAM Systems Description: The NTE15039 is a multifunctional IC in a 24–Lead DIP type package that contains VHS VCT chroma signal processing circuitry. Since the package is small and a minimum number of external compo- nents are required, the NTE15039 occupies much less space on the PC board thus facilitating VCR design. The chroma section is made adjustment–free (except REC chroma level) thus streamlining the manufacture of VCRs Features: D Designed for NTSC/PAL/MESECAM Systems D Adjustment–Free Chroma Section (Except REC Chroma Level) D Few External Components Required D LPF Usable for REC/PB D Multifunctional: 2fSC Generator for CCD Drive Function to Select APC Loop Input Signal Passed/Not Passed Through Comb Filter 3rd Lock Protector of VXO Absolute Maximum Ratings: (TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified) Maximum Supply Voltage, VCCmax. 7V Allowable Power Dissipation (TA ≤ +65°C), PDmax. 850mW Operating Temperature Range, Topg . –10° to +65°C Storage Temperature Range, Tstg . –40° to +125°C Recommended Operating Conditions: (TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified) Recommended Supply Voltage, VCC . 5V Operating Voltage Range, VCCop. 4.8 to 5.5V Electrical Characteristics: (TA = +25°C, VCC = 5V unless otherwise specified) Parameter Symbol Test Conditions Min Typ Max Unit REC Current Dissipation ICC(R) 49 62 75 mA REC Output Level VO(R) 75 110 145 mVP–P REC ACC Characteristics ∆VO(R) Input ± 6dB –0.5 ±0.1 +0.5 dB Electrical Characteristics (Cont’d): (TA = +25°C, VCC

The Transition to Digital Television*
DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

Additive Synthesis, Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation
Additive Synthesis, Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation Prof Eduardo R Miranda Varèse-Gastprofessor [email protected] Electronic Music Studio TU Berlin Institute of Communications Research http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/ Topics: Additive Synthesis Amplitude Modulation (and Ring Modulation) Frequency Modulation Additive Synthesis • The technique assumes that any periodic waveform can be modelled as a sum sinusoids at various amplitude envelopes and time-varying frequencies. • Works by summing up individually generated sinusoids in order to form a specific sound. Additive Synthesis eg21 Additive Synthesis eg24 • A very powerful and flexible technique. • But it is difficult to control manually and is computationally expensive. • Musical timbres: composed of dozens of time-varying partials. • It requires dozens of oscillators, noise generators and envelopes to obtain convincing simulations of acoustic sounds. • The specification and control of the parameter values for these components are difficult and time consuming. • Alternative approach: tools to obtain the synthesis parameters automatically from the analysis of the spectrum of sampled sounds. Amplitude Modulation • Modulation occurs when some aspect of an audio signal (carrier) varies according to the behaviour of another signal (modulator). • AM = when a modulator drives the amplitude of a carrier. • Simple AM: uses only 2 sinewave oscillators. eg23 • Complex AM: may involve more than 2 signals; or signals other than sinewaves may be employed as carriers and/or modulators. • Two types of AM: a) Classic AM b) Ring Modulation Classic AM • The output from the modulator is added to an offset amplitude value. • If there is no modulation, then the amplitude of the carrier will be equal to the offset.

Hauppauge Introduces New Multi-Standard Tv Receiver
HAUPPAUGE INTRODUCES NEW MULTISTANDARD TV RECEIVER FOR WINDOWS AND LINUX WinTV‐HVR‐1975 supports seven different TV formats for over‐the‐air and digital cable TV in North America and Europe Hauppauge, New York February 26, 2014 – Hauppauge Computer Works Inc. has announced the WinTV-HVR-1975, a USB based TV receiver for Windows and Linux systems with multi-format TV support for both North American and Europe. The WinTV-HVR-1975 has built-in support for North America NTSC and European PAL TV, plus ATSC HD and clear QAM digital cable TV support in North America and DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DVB-C support in Europe. The WinTV-HVR-1975 is part of the WinTV-HVR-19XX family of high performance TV receivers. All models in the family have hardware video encoders which convert NTSC and PAL TV programs into MPEG-2, thereby reducing the CPU requirements of the host systems. “Our professional TV receiver customers have been looking for a universal TV tuner for Europe and North America, and the WinTV-HVR-1975 supports the most popular TV formats used in both regions. For example, the DVB-C TV format is used in many European countries for digital cable TV, and DVB-T2, the new high definition over-the-air broadcast format which started in the UK, is now spreading throughout Europe including Russia. Coupled with the support of NTSC, PAL, ATSC and DVB-T, the WinTV-HVR-1975 delivers a TV receiver which is as close to universal as possible” said Ken Plotkin, President of Hauppauge.
