Welcome to GC-CPE 2008 |
Welcome to the
2008 Global Congress on Communications, Propagation, and Electronics (GC-CPE 2008). This event is intended to represent a major forum for researchers, professionals and students from all over the world to meet in the beautiful and culturally rich city of Amman in Jordan to present their latest research results and to exchange new ideas and practical experiences.
ScopeGC-CPE 2008 main scope includes, but is not limited to the following areas: Photonics and Optoelectronics; Optical Fiber Communications; Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation; Communication Circuits and Sub-Systems; Data and Computer Communications; GC-CPE 2008 is planned to feature special sessions, keynote talks and tutorial sessions by leading experts, paper presentations, poster shows, demo shows, discussion panels, as well as other interesting technical activities.
JordanComing to Jordan represents a unique opportunity to witness the embrace of history and future. As small in area as it is, Jordan has a rich history spanning thousands of years, a history that a tourist can only admire. Places like Petra and the Dead Sea are only examples of the many one-of-a-kind places to visit in Jordan. On top of all that, Jordan, as a peaceful country in a turbulent area, enjoys extreme levels of safety and security. Jordanian people are internationally known for generosity, hospitality and cultural awareness and tolerance.AmmanAmman, the beautiful capital of Jordan, is a living model of a large and modern city that has all kinds of tourist attractions. |

CIC-Based Decimators for Software Radio Applications |
Summary | | Software radio (SWR) is one of the key enabling technologies for the wireless revolution and is considered as one of the more important emerging technologies for the future wireless communications. It enhances flexibility and lowers the costs of constructing and operating wireless infrastructure. Nowadays the term software radio generally refers to a radio that derives its flexibility through software while using the same piece of hardware i.e. the same piece of hardware can perform different functions at different times. In that way a completely reconfigurable physical hardware is obtained by programming in software. As a difference, the traditional radio architecture is primarily determined by hardware and so any upgrading means completely abandoning the old design and start with a new design. Software radio terminals must be able to process many various communication standards. These standards are generally based on different master clock rates and thus employ different bit/chip rates. Hence, it is much more elegant to run the terminal on a fixed clock rate, and perform digital sample rate conversion controlled by software. Sampling rate conversion (SRC) is one of the most frequent and useful tasks in the field of communication SRC involves resampling which itself causes aliasing and imaging. The elimination of the detrimental effects of these two fundamental characteristics of resampling requires filtering. Thus the design of a SRC system is basically a filter design problem. A commonly used decimation filter is the cascaded-integrator-comb (CIC) filter, which consists of two main sections: an integrator and a comb, separated by a downsampler. This filter has many desirable characteristics making it very attractive for software radio applications. However, its magnitude characteristic has a high droop in the desired passband that is dependent upon the decimation factor M and the number of the stages, and low attenuation in the stopband. Different methods have been proposed to improve the characteristics of CIC decimator while keeping its simplicity. We will present the fundamentals of SRC, CIC filters, and the state of the art in the designing of CIC-based decimators. |
