A noncoherent receiver for the general case of M -ary partial response multi-h continuous phase modulation (CPM) is presented. The receiver operates on the principle of sequence estimation via the Viterbi Algorithm (VA). It offers a significant complexity reduction from the optimal coherent maximum likelihood sequence estimating (MLSE) receiver. The performance of the receiver is evaluated with...

rf method is now a well-known tool for studying crustal and upper mantle structure when such a complete data set is available. we compute p receiver functions to investigate the upper mantle discontinuity beneath the northwest of iran. we selected data from teleseismic events (mb ? 5.5, 30 ?>? > 95?) recorded from 1995 to 2008 at 8 three component short period stations from tabriz telemetry sei...

In this work, we report an optical receiver with integrated photodiodes operating at 850nm wavelength. The receiver achieves a data-rate of 2.5Gb/s without using any equalizer. To minimize the area, no inductors are used in the design. The entire receiver occupies an area of O.38mm2• This represents the smallest optical receiver operating at the Gb/s regime. The chip is fabricated in O.18J.lm C...

The number of broa.dband three-component seismic stations in southern California. has more tb an tripled recently. In th is study we use the teleseismic receiver function technique to determine the crustal thicknesses and Vp / Vs ratios for th ese stations and map out t he lateral variation of Moho dept h under southern California. It is shown t hat a. receiver function can provide a very good ...
