BPSK to ASK signal conversion using injection-locked oscillators-Part I: theory

This paper presents a new method and circuit for the conversion of binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) signals into amplitude shift keying signals. The basic principles of the conversion method are the superharmonic injection and locking of oscillator circuits, and interference phenomena. The first one is used to synchronize the oscillators, while the second is used to generate an amplitude interference pattern that reproduces the original phase modulation. When combined with an envelope detector, the proposed converter circuit allows the coherent demodulation of BPSK signals without need of any explicit carrier recovery system. The time response of the converter circuit to phase changes of the input signal, as well as the conversion limits, are discussed in detail.

BPSK to ASK signal conversion using injection-locked oscillators-part II: experiment

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of a new circuit for the conversion of binary phase-shift keying signals into amplitude-shift keying signals. In its simplest form, the converter circuit is composed by a power divider, a couple of second harmonic injection-locked oscillators, and a power combiner. The operation of the converter circuit relies on the frequency synchronization of both oscillators and the generation of an interference pattern by combining their outputs, which reproduces the original phase modulation. Two prototypes of the converter have been implemented. The first one is a hybrid version working in the 400-530-MHz frequency range. The second one has been implemented using multichip-module technology, and is intended to work in the 1.8-2.2-GHz frequency range.

Indications à la coronarographie en urgence. Partie II: syndromes coronariens aigus sans élévation du segment ST [Indications for urgent coronary angiography. Part II: Acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation]

The optimal treatment strategy for patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation is controversial and different therapeutic approaches are recognized. Currently, given the literature available, it is not possible to recommend a universal systematic invasive approach. It is essential to individually risk stratify patients in order to identify those high risk patients that have been shown to benefit from an invasive strategy. Compared to conservative medical treatment, patients at low risk have not been shown to benefit from an invasive strategy. Urgent coronary angiography remains recommended for those patients with persistent or recurrent ischemic symptoms under optimal medical treatment.

Generic finite-size enhancement of pairing in mesoscopic Fermi systems

The finite-size-dependent enhancement of pairing in mesoscopic Fermi systems is studied under the assumption that the BCS approach is valid and that the two-body force is size independent. Different systems are investigated such as superconducting metallic grains and films as well as atomic nuclei. It is shown that the finite size enhancement of pairing in these systems is in part due to the presence of a surface which accounts quite well for the data of nuclei and explains a good fraction of the enhancement in Al grains.
