The multi frequency front end: a new type of front end for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope

Multi Front-End Engineering

Multi Front-End Engineering (MFE) deals with the design of multiple consistent user interfaces (UI) for one application. One of the main challenges is the conflict between commonality (all front-ends access the same application core) and variability (multiple front-ends on different platforms). This can be overcome by extending techniques from model-driven user interface engineering. We present...

Front-End Architectures for CMOS Radio Receivers

This paper addresses some of the architectural limitations and concerns in the development of CMOS high frequency front-ends for wireless communication applications. Different architectures are evaluated as to how well their characteristics suite an all CMOS integrated solution. Also, the comparison aims at important parameters such as low cost, low power, and small feature size. Important rece...

End-to-End Simulation: The Front End

For the intense beams in heavy ion fusion accelerators, details of the beam distribution as it emerges from the source region can determine the beam behavior well downstream. This occurs because collective space-charge modes excited as the beam is born remain undamped for many focusing periods. Traditional studies of the source region in particle beam systems have emphasized the behavior of ave...

Low Power Multi-Dynamics Front End Architecture for the Optical Module of a Neutrino Underwater Telescope

A proposal for a new front-end architecture intended to capture signals in the optical module of an underwater neutrino telescope is described. It concentrates on the problem of power consumption, signal reconstruction, charge and time precision. . © 2008 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved PACS: Enter PACS number(s) here "
