Researchers in Taiwan have proposed a circuit that integrates a microwave bandpass filter and an MMIC switch into a single circuit component and so simplifies wireless communication system designs. The circuit is suitable for applications at the RF front end of TDD wireless communication systems.
A tunable microwave phase shifter has been developed by researchers in the US. Their method is a simple and low-cost approach, which is suitable for industrial applications. Furthermore it offers two degrees of freedom tuning, and can minimise the loss while increasing the differential phase shift.
Researchers in Japan present a transmitter for 8 QAM generation. The transmitter can increase the symbol rate of the 8 QAM signal to 40 Gbaud without using state-of-the-art technology or equipment. In addition, according to the condition of the drive signals, various types of 8 QAM format can be generated simply.
High-speed 850 nm VCSELs are promising light sources for short-reach (<300 m) optical interconnects in data centres. However, since data centres are growing in size, there is a growing demand for longer distance optical interconnects, and now researchers in Sweden have achieved 25 Gbit/s transmission over a 500 m multimode fibre using an 850 nm VCSEL with an integrated mode filter.
Collaborating researchers from Korea and the UK propose a multicast polling scheme for optical network unit bandwidth allocation in 10 G Ethernet PON. Their results show that the scheme can achieve a reduction in bandwidth consumption by control packets of approximately a factor of 10, and an increase in channel use.
