We analyze a sample of bright long bursts and find that the pulses duration have a lognormal distribution while the intervals between pulses have an excess of long intervals (relative to lognormal distribution). This excess can be explained by the existence of quiescent times, long periods with no signal above the background. The lognormal distribution of the intervals (excluding the quiescent ...

The observed fraction of pulsars with interpulses, their period distribution and the observed pulse width versus pulse period correlation is shown to be inconsistent with a model in which the angle α between the magnetic axis and the rotation axis is random. This conclusion appears to be unavoidable, even when non-circular beams are considered. Allowing the magnetic axis to align from a random ...

We comment on a recent Letter [Opt. Lett. 35, 4121 (2010)], in which the authors discuss an optimal pulse-width modulation (OPWM) method for sinusoidal fringe generation. We consider that the comparison of the squared binary method (SBM) and the sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) method has considerable deficiencies.

Currently, the cellphone industry is moving towards an integrated CMOS solution for power amplifiers. Cheaper phones for consumers and better bottom lines for companies are the result of this. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the use of pulse width modulation in a high efficiency integrated CMOS power amplifier for a wireless application. Though high efficiency CMOS power amplifiers ex...

In this paper, a novel switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with pulse density and width modulation (PDWM) is proposed with reduced output ripple at variable output voltages. While performing pulse density modulation (PDM), the proposed PDWM modulates the pulse width at the same time to reduce the output ripple with high power efficiency. The prototype chip was implemented using 65 nm CMOS proces...

A comparative investigation on the use of random modulation schemes for dc/dc converters is presented. The modulation schemes under consideration include randomized pulse position modulation, randomized pulsewidth modulation (PWM), and randomized carrier-frequency modulation with fixed and variable duty cycle. The paper emphasizes the suitability and applicability of each scheme in dc/dc conver...
