Multi-Chip Modules (MCM's) provide a medium for integration of several bare dies on a multi-layer substrate. MCM technology has gained popularity in recent years with the promise of orders of magnitude reduction in inter-chip delay and power dissipation over single chip packaging [2]. By virtue of a faster interconnect MCM's aim at alleviating, to a large extent, the bottleneck o ered by conven...

A systematic procedure is presented for synthesis of generalized Chebyshev lossy bandstop filters with non-paraconjugate transmission zeros. From a lossy scattering parameters with the prescribed reflection zeros, the transformation formulas from the scattering matrix to the admittance matrix are obtained by reconstructing the non-paraconjugate transmission zeros as paraconjugate ones. The cano...

The design of efficient screens for preventing noise exposure close to road lanes with high traffic flow is both a technical and an economical stake. This design (including material properties) is usually carried out upstream to in-situ realizations through numerical predictions. However, the uncertainties concerning the input data can lead to strong discrepancies in SPL predictions that are no...

This paper presents an effective numerical method for the transient analysis of lossy transmission lines. With the discretization of the spatial variation of voltages and currents along the transmission lines while remaining the temporal derivatives unchanged, a semidiscrete model is derived from the telegrapher’s equations. The timestep integration method is utilized to derive the recursive sc...

Data partitioning is an error resiliency technique that provides unequal error protection for transmission over lossy channels. Including a per-picture, cyclic intra-refresh macroblock (MB) line guards against temporal error propagation. This paper considers the impact of this form of error resilience on access control and proposes a selective dropping scheme based on dropping the partition bea...
