Distributed beamforming, coupled with effective frequency synchronization, represents a paradigm shift in the performance and reliability of wireless sensor networks. This approach harnesses the ...

Basic principles behind distributed systems (collections of independent components that appear to users as a single coherent system) and main paradigms used to organize them. This course satisfies the ...

System timing and synchronization remains one of the least understood sciences in today's communications equipment design processes. As the essential foundation of all multiplexing, switching and ...

This article describes emerging trends in synchronizing digital ICs and shows how process scaling, rapid increases in clock frequencies, and demand for lower power dissipation will affect the choice ...

Over the past few months, and especially in our update on Class B instruments in the September 2008 issue “The Killer Bs Are Coming,” we have been reporting on the advantages of the IEEE 1588 ...

What is a distributed system? A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to the user as a single coherent system. To accomplish a common objective, the computers in a ...
