When the Chinese government was deciding which form of 3G to go for it gave a largely home-grown standard the lion's share of the spectrum. China has reserved 155 MHz for the time-division synchronised CDMA (TD-SCDMA), a version of 3G co-developed by Siemens and Datang Telecom Technology, a spinout from, the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT), a Chinese research institution. - Author(s): I.

With miniature integrated circuit transponders, it is now technically feasible to replace the ubiquitous bar code with a radio frequency ID (RFID) transponder - making it possible to scan a supermarket trolley full of goods automatically as one passes the checkout. This paper describes the various forms of tags. - Author(s): D. Ireland

Measuring high-speed signals on high-speed serial data buses such as fibre channel, SONET, gigabit Ethernet and infiniband, or of microprocessor systems incorporating bus architectures, such as DDR II and rapid I/O can be very difficult. Determining the accuracy of this measurement type is no trivial task, especially given how highly interdependent it is on the signal under test. To ensure accurate measurements, a thorough understanding is required of the different types of delta-time measurements and the various sources of errors that affect the ability to make precise measurements. Sources of measurement inaccuracy come from the digital oscilloscope and its connection to the test component. - Author(s): J. Wood and C. Cowdery

High-speed network traffic mechanisms are propelling the growth of communication services such as multimedia, multi-player gaming and video on demand. In the present paper network traffic measurement is discussed. Topics include: the failure of the Poisson distribution, fractals and self-similarity, Hurst parameter, and multifractals. - Author(s): D. Rose

Sensors and actuators are found in large numbers on every production line in every industry. Each requires data and power cabling, which can be both costly to install and a frequent source of failure. This article describes the use of a wireless proximity switch to eliminate the need for cables. - Source: Communications Engineer, Volume 1, Issue 1, p. 44 –45
