Method for reducing cross-talk / interference: The optimal utilization of the available frequency bands plays an important role in the transmission of messages. In frequency multiplexing, sub-frequency bands are allocated to individual communication channels, which are usually completely independent of each other. In practice, however, there is cross-talk, that is, in a channel, signals from the two adjacent channels are also received. Thus, the received signal is composed of useful signal and interference signal. The aim of the present invention is to compensate for the interfering signal component. This is particularly important when the intensity of the adjacent channel signals and thus the interference signal which they contribute are greater than the actual useful signal (adjacent channel interference problem).
As product diversity increases, the complexity of production processes is also rising. The consequence: employees, too, must be re-qualified. With the help of…
Empa’s latest technology briefing just goes to show how important Additive Manufacturing (AM) is set to become for Switzerland: Over 150 people from industry…
To generate swarms of new viral particles, a virus hijacks a cell into producing masses of self-assembling cages that are then loaded with the genetic…
“We are the first in the world to present a logic circuit, in this case a transistor, that is controlled by a heat signal instead of an electrical signal,”…
The targeted incorporation of proteins into the membrane is a vital process for cell maintenance; these membrane proteins ensure the proper functioning of the…
Glass Molding: Cost-efficient large-scale production of high-precision optics
The exchange and recombination of genetic material between procaryotes and from parasites and pathogens into plants is known to be commonplace. Also plant to…
Most importantly, microorganisms are essential to understand the conversion of nitrate to ammonium. This process of the nitrogen cycle creates a soluble form…
As of today, the fabrication of larger structures or larger batches of optical elements via 2PP takes too much time for an industrial scale production: 3D…
However, the analyses also revealed areas that connect or that might connect today’s beetle populations most effectively. These areas should thus be considered…
Charge flow frequency converters are used when especially small electrical currents must be measured. Usually, the integrator and the comparator are connected in series. The improved method can be used anywhere where very small currents of both polarities with high dynamics are measured.
Lightweight components made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) and metal are growing in significance across a wide range of industries, but especially in the…
Digitalization is making openness in the linking of IT solutions increasingly important. The Code of PLM Openness (CPO), developed by the ProSTEP iViP…
