US 4933677 AAbstract
A coherent radio frequency memory (CRFM) which employs a digital RF memory (DRFM) and a power limiter at its input for limiting the power of the RF input to a relatively constant level over a broad range of such inputs. In addition, a RF noise generating means is coupled to the input of the DRFM at the optimum level for providing random noise for decorrelating spurious outputs of the DRFM.

9. The CRFM of claim 1, wherein said power limiting means comprises a limiting amplifier, said limiting amplifier controlling the amplitude of the RF input and enhancing the noise floor of the DRFM to thereby obscure spurious signals.
10. The CRFM of claim 1, wherein the noise generating means comprises an amplifier having an output coupled to the DRFM input for superimposing the noise on the RF input.
11. The CRFM of claim 10, wherein the noise produced by said noise generating means is in the RF domain for decorrelating spurious outputs of the DRFM.
The invention relates, in general, to coherent radio frequency memories (CRFM) and, more specifically, to digital radio frequency memories (DRFM) suitable for use in military radar countermeasure equipment.
Active radar jammers are used in the field of electronic countermeasures to confuse or counter a system originating radar signals. In some situations, it is desirable to return signals to the radar system which are exact copies of the arriving radar signal. In other situations, it is desirable to return signals to the radar system which have characteristics other than that of the received radar signal in order to further confuse the radar system. In any event, it is usually necessary for the countermeasure system to store the received radar signal and to reproduce it at a later time.
Previously, delay lines of various types have been used effectively to store the received radar signal for a short period of time and make the stored radar signal available at a later time. One of the disadvantages of delay lines is that the delay cannot be electronically changed easily. Also, it is difficult to obtain reasonably long delay periods without serious signal degradation. Also, delay lines are usually large and bulky.
An improvement over the delay line technology has been achieved by the use of digital radio frequency memories (DRFMs) which convert relatively high radio frequency (RF) signals down to a low intermediate frequency (IF) frequency by mixing the RF with a local oscillator (LO) signal. The IF signal is then digitized for storage in a digital memory device. The digital memory can be controlled in a manner similar to that of a digital memory of a computer and the stored value representing the radar signal can be recalled and replicated at any time delay desired. Further, the manipulation of the digital values to produce changes in the replicated signal are also conveniently done by the digital process.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,713,662 entitled Modulated Digital Radio Frequency Memory, in the name of Richard J. Wiegand, the inventor herein, and assigned to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, the assignee herein, discloses a variety of DRFMs including a two-channel or I&Q system as well as a modulated single channel DRFM. The I&Q or two-channel DRFM stores an RF pulse by preserving the frequency and phase of an RF input local oscillator and a sampling clock while the remainder of information is held in digital logic chips such as a RAM. In the modulated single channel DRFM in addition to preserving frequency and phase of the RF local oscillator signal, a modulation pattern for the RF local oscillator is preserved and applied to the input and output.
The DRFMs described in Wiegand's patent employ one bit sampling, that is, the IF input is sampled to determine if the signal is positive or negative at each sample point. One bit sampling reduces RAM size to a minimum while allowing maximum sampling frequency and maximum amplitude dynamic range. However, the stored DRFM signal is quite non-linear resulting in numerous spectral lines or spurs in addition to the main desired coherent spectral lines. Also, an image of the input may be generated which is undesirable. While various techniques are available to significantly reduce spurs in both the I&Q and single channel DRFMs further improvement is desirable.
The present invention reduces spurious spectral lines or spurs in I&Q and single channel DRFMs by employing a limiting preamplifier at the DRFM input, and by injecting an appropriate noise level. The invention is directed to a coherent radio frequency memory (CRFM) that includes a DRFM system in which a radio frequency (RF) input pulse is mixed with a local oscillator signal (LO) to produce an intermediate frequency signal (IF). The IF is converted to digital form for retrievable storage in a digital memory. The digital signal may be reconverted to analog and mixed with the local oscillator signal to replicate the RF input signal. If the DRFM system is a single channel DRFM system the local oscillator may be modulated with a wave form which is stored and replicated at the same time that the RF pulse is replicated at the output. Modulation of the LO signal further eliminates the image and the undesirable spurs. In a two-channel DRFM system, the image is cancelled at the output by combining the I&Q channels 180� out of phase. In either case a limiting amplifier is placed upstream of the DRFM input. The limiting amplifier enhances the dynamic range of the CRFM by limiting the input power of the RF input signal to a relatively constant value over a broad range of such RF inputs. Thus, the DRFM operates at an optimum level. An adjustable RF noise source is superimposed on the output of the limiting amplifier which serves to reduce spur levels. The RF noise source serves to modulate the RF signal prior to mixing with the local oscillator signal. Modulation of the local oscillator signal causes spurs, including the image, to decorrelate. Amplifier noise which is random causes very efficient decorrelation of the spurs and yet preserves the RF input. In another embodiment a negative feedback circuit provides both voltage limiting of the RF input and noise.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention featuring a DRFM with a RF limiting amplifier and an adjustable noise source coupled to the input thereof;
FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention in which a feedback circuit provides automatic gain control and noise at the input of the DRFM;
FIG. 3A is an illustration of the output spectrum of a DRFM which exhibits multiple spurs;
FIG. 3B illustrates the output spectrum of the DRFM of FIG. 3A employing an embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is another embodiment of the present invention illustrating a limiting amplifier at the DRFM output.
FIG. 1 illustrates in schematic block form, a coherent radio frequency memory 9 (CRFM) including a DRFM 10 and a spur reduction circuit 11 of the present invention. In FIG. 1 the DRFM 10 may be a single or dual channel system as set forth in the Wiegand Patent 4,713,662. The spur reduction circuit 11 includes a limiting amplifier 12 coupled to the input 14 of the DRFM 10. The RF input 16 feeds the limiting amplifier 12. The power of the RF input 16 of the limiting amplifier 12 may vary over a wide range of values. Accordingly, the limiting amplifier 12 is provided in order to attenuate or limit the amount of RF input power appearing at the input 14 of the DRFM. By limiting the RF input power, the DRFM 10 can operate in a narrow optimum range and hence provide for better performance, including better spur reduction.
It is well known that DRFMs employ analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters (not shown). The limiting amplifier 12 by providing a constant power input to the DRFM 10 at an optimum level allows the A/D and D/A converters therein (not shown) to operate at their best speed, sensitivity and accuracy.
In accordance with known DRFM techniques, the RF output 18 which is an approximation of the RF input 16 is provided at a programmed later time. A detector 20 in the form of a crystal diode is coupled to the output 22 of the limiting amplifier 12 by means of a coupler 24. Upon the occurrence of the RF input 16, the detector 20 provides an output 25 to a trigger detect circuit (not shown) which activates the DRFM 10.
In accordance with the present invention, an adjustable noise source in the form of an amplifier 26 and an adjustable attenuator 28 is provided. The output of the attenuator 28 is connected to the input 14 of the DRFM by means of a coupler 30. The amplifier 26 produces random noise, the amplitude of which may be adjusted to some optimum value by means of the attenuator 28. Noise provided by the amplifier 26 is superimposed on the output 22 of the limiting amplifier 12 at the DRFM 10 input 14. The noise is truly random and will effectively decorrelate the spurs produced in the DRFM 10, especially when one bit sampling is used.
FIG. 3A is a graphical representation of the output spectrum of the DRFM illustrated in FIG. 1 but without input power limiting. In FIG. 3A the amplifier 12 is operating at a relatively high power and the desired output appears at the peak 32. The image is peak 34 and the remaining peaks 36 are spurs.
As a test of the principles of the invention, as the RF signal input power is lowered to achieve the same signal to noise ratio that is intended to occur in FIG. 1, the output spectrum improves. In FIG. 3B the desired output peak 32 is reduced only slightly as a result of limiting the input power by means of the limiting amplifier 12. The image peak 34 and the spurs 36 are significantly reduced, as shown. In some cases the spurs meet the noise floor 38. FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention in which the DRFM 10 receives an amplifier signal at input 14. The RF input 16 is coupled to RF amplifier 42 which is coupled at its output 43 to the input of a variable voltage attenuator 44. Its output 45 is input to amplifier 40. A feedback loop 45 couples the output 46 of the amplifier 40 to the variable voltage attenuator 44 via a high speed servo video amplifier 48 and crystal detector 20. The RF input to DRFM 10 is detected by means of the detector 20 and triggering circuit (not shown) in the feedback loop 45. The amplifier 48 provides negative feedback for increasing the attenuation of the variable attenuator 44 in order to reduce power of the input signal to the amplifier 40. In the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 the high speed servo amplifier 48 provides automatic-gain-control (AGC) so that the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio remains optimum. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, RF limiting is obtained by RF amplifier 42 and RF noise is obtained from the RF amplifier 40. The video amplifier 48 has an automatic gain control (AGC) bias lead 50 which may be adjusted to optimize or trim the circuit for optimum signal-to-noise ratio.
The present invention provides for reduced spur levels relative to the desired signal using a standard DRFM without significant modification. The present invention deliberately injects RF noise into the DRFM input along with the signal which helps to decorrelate the spurs. The spur suppression may be optimized by trimming the gain of the input circuit.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 4, the DRFM 10 has a power limiting circuit (PLC) 60 at the input 14 thereof and, in addition, provides for a limiting amplifier 62 or the like at the output 18. In the arrangement of FIG. 4 the second limiting amplifier 62 on the DRFM output may serve to further suppress spurs. In addition, so called hard driving or driving the limiting amplifier 62 to saturation at a high level may also result in a better signal capture phenomena, which is a tendency of such limiting amplifier to suppress the weaker of two signals within the pass band. This also will reduce unwanted intermodulation (IM) products caused by the presence of a weak signal. Accordingly, the amplified strong replica of the RF input tends to be received by the radar source (not shown), thereby enhancing the countermeasures effect of the system.

Beth Labonte – Whitney Dineen
Posted on April 4, 2016 April 28, 2016 by Whitney Dineen
Beth writes fabulous chick-lit novels that are a guaranteed escape from the daily grind of life. I’m thrilled to have her as a guest today!
Quit my day job. Because as much as I love sending Fed Ex’s and ordering lunches and driving home from work in blizzards, I would much rather stay home and write books. Also, it’s a much cooler answer when people ask you what you do.
Visit England. Granted, most British things I love have to do with television shows and books – Doctor Who, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, everything by Sophie Kinsella – I very much want to visit the real life country. They still have those blue police boxes, right?
Retire to Florida and live at The Villages so I can drive everywhere by golf cart. For more information, please read the sequel to Summer at Sea (not even remotely finished yet, but there will be golf carts).
Have a book traditionally published and sold inside a Barnes & Noble. Preferably in one of those forward-facing slots on the shelf. And maybe with a poster in the window.
Witness my son invent the first ever time machine. Then I will get into the time machine, travel into the future where they’ve invented anti-aging pills, steal one, swallow it, take time machine back to present day where I shall live forever.
Be murdered or enslaved by robots. Have you seen Ex Machina? Have you had your iPhone spontaneously tell you how long it’s going to take to get to the exact place you were thinking of going, the second that you step into your car? Speaking of cars, you realize that Google is making a self-driving one, right? I would like to be long gone before things get out of hand.
Publicly speak. You’ll notice that #4 above didn’t contain the words “Hold a book signing at Barnes & Noble.” I am happy here behind my screen, thank you.
Watch The Wizard of Oz again.
Run one of those challenge races through the backwoods of Maine with a bandana on my head while leaping through hot coals and assorted other completely unnecessary obstacles. I honestly can’t think of anything I’d rather do less. Well, except maybe #5.
Be diagnosed with dementia. My dad had it and it’s not cool. Unless of course you get the kind where you think all the nurses and doctors are butlers and cruise staff and you’re actually pretty happy. Otherwise, no.

A Book Lover: Raw Faith by Kasey Van Norman (Review)
Raw Faith by Kasey Van Norman (Review)
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. (March 21, 2014)
ISBN-10: 1414364784
ISBN-13: 978-1414364780
As a respected Bible teacher, Kasey Van Norman had dedicated her life to
sharing God’s Word and encouraging women to trust in God during times of crisis. Then, just as her ministry was poised to explode, Kasey was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that shattered her spirit and rocked her faith to its core. Sick, frightened, and in pain, Kasey suddenly found herself facing the greatest challenge of her life—believing her own message.In Raw Faith,
Kasey chronicles her courageous battle with cancer, taking readers on a
candid and poignant journey of faith and discovery, from the depths of despair through triumphant victory.Drawing on a variety of Bible
stories and characters, Kasey discovers and distills the singular truth
that has existed since time began: while change and uncertainty are inevitable, God is always unchanging, and He is always faithful—even when our circumstances might tempt us to think otherwise.
This book was supposed to be a memoir about her struggle with cancer. It ended up being more of a bible study. Addressed are what she calls the toxic ds; depression, denial, and discouragement. She explains that the awful nausea she had from chemotherapy had nothing on these. She references a lot of bible stories and verses. Overall the book was okay. Kasey makes her home on a US mission field. Along with husband Justin and their two children, Kasey works and lives each day on
the largest working rescue ranch in the United States. As a child rescue agent for Still Creek Ranch in Bryan, TX, Kasey helps rescue minors from abuse, neglect, and human trafficking. Kasey is a licensed professional counselor with earned degrees in psychology, public speaking, counseling, and biblical studies. Kasey founded KVM (Kasey Van Norman Ministries) in 2010.

Boundaries, Updated and Expanded Edition Audiobook | John Townsend, Henry Cloud | Audible.ca
Maciej P Lukowski
This was a good book on why boundaries are essential to any success in life. I liked the specific examples and a description of a person with no boundaries vs one with well defined boundaries.
We all are like a city without walls waiting to be invaded when boundaries are missing.
Personally, I was a child in a verbally abusive home where drug abuse was also present. There were fights and screams for which I had zero context. The lack of clear boundaries had a profound impact on me. Only now, in my 30s am I coming to grips with the damage done and that I will need to work on myself a lot to experience better relationships. Setting boundaries is very diff but so vital!
I couldn't get through the content because they made references to Bible verses every few lines. I'm not opposed to Bible verses, but not when it upsets the flow of the novel.
Nadine S Kim
helps you understand your situation and helps you with your true relationships. highly recommend it
Good content, took time to get used to narrator
after listening to the lines of brene brown, the narrator on this one could have paused and inflected more. I found out hard to follow at first with all of the scripture references and chapter and heading changes. it was a bit distracting. after awhile, I did get into it.
loved the chapter on parenting. there was lots of great stuff!
A life changing must-read!
Likely the most comprehensive book on boundaries available. I hadn't a clue boundaries could be so all-encompassing.
The sheer volume of scripture and references to The Bible made me fantasize about inventing an app that could go through the book and delete all bible references. I imagine the book would be 1/3 the size after deleting scripture passages. It was judgmental and non-inclusive in some parts, even abit victim-blamey (as most fundamentally Christian-based things are) I can handle religious references but man was this book full on bible immersion school. The information on boundaries was good but if you’re not steeped in Christianity you’re probably better off buying another of the plethora of good boundary books out there.
This is a biblical view
I strongly recommend they announce on the cover when it’s a religious view. I am not evaluating the quality but the non transparency.
I have nothing against the Bible but this is just a steady stream of quoted bible verses. Just not what I expected.
This book was recommended by several friends. And now I know why! As a people pleaser, it has helped open my eyes and create boundaries so I can have healthy relationships. As some of us were raised in broken homes where boundaries were not taught, this is a HUGE help to guide us and teach us about those healthy boundaries not only for ourselves but for those around us. I highly recommend!
the book has interesting views, but the continuous references to the bible make it a strenuous read

We sure think alike, eh? Not knowing what the other one is writing to find out that our first paragraph was about losing track of time. :)
Wow, what a great shot, however, a little too desolate for my liking! What a shame since you're really missing quite the winter storm and a very balmy 13*F as I write. There was a 100 car pile up near Bowmanville last night (1/7/17) thanks to very limited visibility, don't know about injuries.
Well keep on keepin on, you'll get the hang of it!

Hey guys. Just took a couple of minutes to catch up on your adventures. Sure looks like you are having the time of your lives. I am jealous. But then if Linda and I were down there with you, who would be left to suffer through the -
Ha! Stay safe, and we look forward to catching up when you return.

Tomato Red by Daniel Woodrell | Book Lover's Blog
Posted on May 31, 2006 by willbranthicks
I had never heard of Daniel Woodrell before one of my recent weekly sweeps through Publisher’s Weekly. I’ve read a fair amount of literature about Appalachia (not nearly enough, but is it ever enough?) but not about the Ozark region, which is Woodrell’s main focus. He’s from that area originally, and his writing emphasis is on folks who live poor and hard, are often violent, and usually reside in a setting outside "nice" America. Such is the situation with Tomato Red, a book I picked out for the title, and by the finish of the flyleaf, was sucked in to Woodrell’s universe.
Our main character is Sammy Barlach, recently out of prison and on the road to nowhere. His road drops him off at West Table, Missouri, a small town of haves and have nots. A dare to burglarize a local mansion acquaints him with Jamalee and Jason Merredew, siblings who will do anything to get out of a squalor-filled future in West Table, preferably away from their mother, who lives next to them and turns tricks for a vocation. What they will do to accomplish this winds up involving Sammy in ways he never knew.
I enjoyed the book, although it is not for the squeamish. It’s a page turner and fairly short. Woodrell has a unique manner of phrasing and a highly twisted sense of humor. What could have been a completely gritty and tragic story (and it is in a lot of places) made me laugh out loud at several points, as Sammy and the others try to make sense out of a series of quandaries, including taking on shady cops and the town country club crowd.
Woodrell has a new one coming out soon (Winter’s Bone) and I am really curious to see what he does with it.

No 75th anniversay meeting
Still not happy that the company decided the salesforce was not worthy of the expense to have a 75th anniversary meeting. Yes, they did take 170 or so of the most deserving reps to Vegas, but the rest of the salesforce didnt seem to count in FY 2012. Too many changes, and certainly not many of them are for the best.
They didn't have a meeting as they didn't have anything to say except the same ole B/S. Those that went to Vagas were sorry they did. Everything was "ala cart" with the reps footing the bill, even the cab fare from the airport. In a way, I'm happy I wasn't "invited."

text: With a growing number of Obamacare's provisions taking effect, both supporters and opponents of the health care law are bracing for the impacts that Obamacare will have on the health care industry and the way millions of Americans get health-insurance coverage. But yesterday's decision from the Obama administration to put off implementation of potential fines on large employers that choose not to provide health insurance for their employees puts a new wrinkle in the controversial provisions, especially since the move appears to favor large businesses at the expense of ordinary individuals who'll still face penalties of their own come Jan. 1.Understanding the penalty provisionsUntil yesterday, the various Obamacare penalty provisions for those who attempted to bypass the law's insurance-coverage requirements had an attractive symmetry to them. For individuals, penalties of $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, up to a family maximum of $285 or 1% of income above the tax-filing threshold, apply to individuals who don't have eligible insurance and who don't qualify for one of the exemptions to the provisions. Low-income families would likely be exempt, and others would have to compare the costs of an Obamacare-compliant policy against their income to find out whether the availability of what the law calls affordable coverage would result in a penalty.Meanwhile, the employer fines would apply to employers with 50 or more employees working at least 30 hours a week, with companies paying annual penalties of $2,000 per uninsured worker. The law exempts companies from paying fines on the first 30 uninsured employees, but other provisions impose potentially higher fines if employers provide coverage that's too expensive and therefore triggers federal tax-credit subsidies to help employees cover their costs.Furthering the symmetry, both of these provisions were slated to take effect at the beginning of 2014. Now, though, that has changed, and an uproar is likely to result as those with differing political views come to their own conclusions about the reasoning behind the move.What happened yesterday?In yesterday's announcement, the administration set back the date for employer fines to take effect until the beginning of 2015. Cynics have noted that the new date is comfortably after the midterm elections, although the administration argued that it was merely responding to calls from employers who argued that making changes to benefits to take the 30-hour-a-week threshold into account was more complicated than it would seem to ordinary workers.The delay isn't the first for Obamacare. Back in April, the administration had to delay the planned national insurance marketplace known as the Small Business Health Options Program until 2015, benefiting insurance carriers Aetna , UnitedHealth , and WellPoint by giving them more time to figure out how to comply with the small-business provisions of the health care law. The move also has ramifications for employer fines, as the program was narrowed to allow employers to choose only a single plan rather than a broader set of plan choices. As Fool contributor Keith Speights observed at the time, that might lead some midsize employers to drop their coverage rather than getting shunted into a single and potentially inadequate plan.Will Congress object?Interestingly, as the Washington Post's Ezra Klein noted last night, the administration's decision not to enforce Obamacare's penalty provisions doesn't change the fact that they remain on the books as law. The situation puts Congress in the strange position of having the president challenge its law-making ability on a law that the president supported and that a substantial portion of Congress would prefer to see repealed.The biggest fallout, though, might well come from individuals who supported the law but who counted on equal treatment of businesses and employees. Without a similar one-year break from individual penalties, you'll find plenty of penalty-payers next year arguing about the unfairness of giving employers a break from fines.The real test for ObamacareIn any event, the biggest challenge that Obamacare faces is getting its Health Insurance Marketplace up and running by Oct. 1. Although private exchanges from Marsh & McLennan subsidiary Mercer as well as Towers Watson have done a good job of getting Aetna, UnitedHealth, and other popular insurers to participate in their programs, the reception that public exchanges have gotten has been far less favorable. Without a smooth launch in less than three months, Obamacare could find itself facing much greater criticism than it is today.Still uncertain about how Obamacare might affect your personal finances and your portfolio?

band, it might be expected that the difference between the uniform-rod and composite-rod patterns could be explained by the different dispersion relationships of the two structures. However, since the mean relative permittivity of the composite rod is less than that of the uniform rod, this indicates that K will be smaller for the composite rod. This was confirmed by measurements which gave a value K = 1-22 for the composite rod compared to K = 1-33 for the uniform rod at 9-4 GHz. The radiation-pattern equations indicate that the beamwidth of the composite should be greater than the uniform-rod beamwidth. This is seen to be the case at frequencies below the stopband, but the opposite is true for frequencies above the stopband. The equation suggests that the angular positions of the sidelobes should lie closer to the main beam for the uniform rod than for the composite rod, and this was found to be the case. The equation also indicates that the first sidelobe levels should be approximately 4-6 dB greater for the uniform rod, and this is found to be the case above the stopband, but appears to be somewhat less below the stopband. Since the increased gain property of a composite structure is not a surface-wave-propagation effect, an explanation in terms of the modifying influence of the rod structures on the direct radiation from the feed waveguide3-4 appears to be more likely.

PRECISION DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGECURRENT CONVERTOR
Indexing terms: Magnitude convertors, Integrated circuits, Differential amplifiers A new differential voltage-current convenor is proposed, which achieves high linearity and is substantially temperature independent. The effects of transistor mismatches and of limited current gain are analysed. Experimental results are given which show a considerable improvement over previous circuits.
In many integrated circuits, for example multipliers,1 the first stage is a differential voltage-current convertor, consisting of a simple differential pair with a feedback resistor RE between the emitters. This circuit gives satisfactory performances only if the resistance RE is large compared with the dynamic resistance of the transistors; otherwise the overall transconductance of the circuit is strongly temperature dependent and essentially nonlinear. On the other hand, a high value of RE increases the noise, and this again limits the dynamic range. The circuit proposed (Fig. la) performs a precision low-distortion voltage-current conversion, even with low values of RE, thus improving the dynamic range. Consider the sum of the voltages around the loop comprising the signal generator, the base-emitter voltages of Tr ls Tr4, Tr2 and Tr3 and the feedback resistor RE:
v ~VBEl8-5 VBEt - iRE+ VBE2 + VBE3 = 0

ELECTRONICS LETTERS 22nd March 1973 Vol.9
If the transistors are perfectly matched, and the current gains are high enough to neglect the base currents, eqn. 2 collapses to the simple form R,
Secondly, the variable current / is no longer linearly dependent on the input voltage. With X = 2i/I0, the collector currents can be written as

Voltage-current convertor Alternative configuration
The overall effect is a reduction of the circuit transconductance, which becomes slightly temperature-dependent, and the introduction of 3rd-order harmonic distortion; currentgain mismatches will introduce additional 2nd-order distortion. The circuit has been experimentally verified using an integrated transistor array,* with 7? = 600Q and / 0 = 500 fiA. The measured performances are reported in Fig. 2, which gives the peak value of the output current Ic\IC3, normalised to Io, and the 3rd-order distortion attenuation D3 as a function of the input peak voltage normalised to Vo = RE(I0/2). For comparison, the measured performances of the simple degenerated differential pair made with the same components are also shown.
concern the matching and current gains of the transistors; so the result holds for any value of the input voltage v and of the feedback resistor RE, until the currents are sufficient to keep the current gain high and validate the expression for the base-emitter voltage drop adopted in eqn. 2. The maximum input voltage is limited by saturation of Tr2 and Tr 4 , biased at VCB = 0; this limitation can be overcome by adding levelshifting stages. An alternative application of the proposed circuit is shown in Fig. \b. This configuration has the same behaviour as the previous one, but with a better frequency response, owing to the common-base operation of the transistors, and without voltage-swing limitation. The input impedance seen 'looking into' the emitters of Tr2 and Tr 4 is, in theory, zero, independent of the bias current l0. The operation of the circuit can be also explained as a unity-gain positive-feedback which increases to infinite gain in the negative-feedback loop set by resistor RE, thus reducing to zero any error in the voltage-current conversion. At high frequencies, parasitic inductances can lead to a small negative resistance between the emitters of Tr2 and Tr 4 ; so, to overcome stability problems, RE must not be too low. In the configuration of Fig. \a, the internal resistance of the voltage generator can also lead to instability; a small capacitor between the bases of Trx and Tr 3 is sufficient to avoid this possibility. Transistor mismatch does not alter the performances of the circuits. In this case, eqn. 2 becomes v+ (4)

which shows that an input offset voltage is present, but the transconductance and linearity are not affected. Let us now consider the effect of limited current gain, with the simplified hypothesis of current gain being equal for all transistors and constant for any bias current. We must consider two effects. First the variable component of the output current is reduced with respect to the current i by a constant factor dependent on the current gain; straightforward analysis gives, in fact, (5)
The measured performances show good agreement with theory, and the improvement with respect to the simple differential-pair stage is substantial, with a minimum number of extra components.

Extension of lockdown comes with relaxations; will this help kickstart the economy?, BFSI News, ET BFSI
Extension of lockdown comes with relaxations; will this help kickstart the economy?
As per a Bloomberg report, the GDP is expected to take a significantly large hit despite green zones starting economic activities this week.
May 06, 2020, 18:06 IST
As the number of coronavirus cases in India continue to rise, we have now entered the third phase of the lockdown. It has been extended to May 18 from a previous date of May 4 in light of the number of cases in hotspot areas intensifying. This third phase of the lockdown however, is different in the sense that the government has allowed certain relaxations in terms of economic activity.
What are these relaxations?
Besides the essential goods and services, a few more activities have now been permitted – standalone shops in the neighborhood, industrial activity in specific zones, e-commerce delivery of essential goods for households, private offices with only one-third of the staff and construction activities as long as workers stay on site.
What impact does this have on the economy?
The above-mentioned activities account for roughly 15-20% of our GDP, according to a Bloomberg report. However, since now the country has been divided into red, orange and green zones, the scale at which these activities will start functioning back to normal is expected to be very staggered.
We also need to keep in mind that major economic activities that lead to a spur of expenditure from the consumer side such as shopping malls, markets, theatres, educational institutes and transport (air, rail and road) continue to remain closed. These activities too account for roughly 15-20% of the GDP. Hence, in order the kickstart the economy and expect some recovery in our GDP growth numbers, these will eventually have to be permitted.
The report expects a 25% contraction in the GDP with a 30% output loss in May.
Source: Bloomberg LP Report
In an earlier interaction with ETBFSI, Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist at CARE Ratings, had predicted a further extension of the lockdown post May 3. “Given that the economy takes at least three months to normalize, realistically speaking, it can function at 50% capacity only post August. As the shutdown extends, it is natural that the GDP growth rates will be rolled back. The IMF has 1.9% under assumptions of the second half being normal. Now if we lose another month or two, the downgrade will be sharper. We should remember that given the job loss, cuts in income and low corporate performance, it is unlikely that there will emerge the pent-up demand phenomenon that we saw in the earlier shock of demonetization” he said.
Hence, as the data suggests, the relaxations do not necessarily hint towards a spur in economic growth. We can only expect that to take place post the flattening of the curve. Hence, the impact of these relaxations in all the 3 different zones will be closely observed in order to plan an efficient lockdown-exit strategy, and we can only expect the numbers to start getting better post the second half of FY21.

Live.Laugh.Love: Misses...
There are lots of things and people for that matter that I miss...Just last night, Mike and I HAD to see our beloved dog Channing...so we called up his parents (whom he is staying with for the week) and asked if we could G-chat. If you know anything about new age technology, which is freaking awesome these days, you don't have to be anywhere close to the person (or dog in our case) to be able to SEE them...coolness! So if you have Skype or G-mail (you can g-chat or video chat if your computer allows that), you can keep up with loved ones far away...so we did...we got on the video chat and totally acted like "those crazy people" talking to Channing, who seemed to want nothing to do with us and also seemed confused that he heard us, but clearly wasn't seeing our bodies.
We also chat with Mike's sister, Laura, who is living in England and finishing up business school. I think we both miss her a lot. But...we are fortunate that we get to take a week long trip to England this summer in order to celebrate her graduation and do really fun things! (which hopefully will be planned out before we get there, I know I have NO idea what to do...but since Laura is there along with her BF and his family, I am sure we will be dazzled!)
As of recently (this past weekend), I am also without grandparents...they have all passed on and are hopefully looking down on me and feeling proud of the young woman that I have become. My Uncle is up there too. Looking back on things, I wish I could have gotten more out of my relationships with them...but when you are young you tend to be overcome with so many things that learning about your grandparents, their heritage, their struggles, their history and what makes them who they are isn't a top priority...but I wish it had been in my case. Now I can't just ask them how they managed through the Great Depression, or how they have seen society and the world change so vastly from the time they were little girls and little boys. These memories are lost in time for me and I can try my best to piece things from pictures or through stories from my parents, but it just won't be the same. I guess instead of trying to bring on the pity party, I want to express that if you are lucky enough to still have these wonderful people in your life, that you take the time to visit them, call them, find out who they really are and gain all the knowledge you can...I can guarantee it will be worth it in the end.
Ok, enough of the super sadness (as I wipe my tears...) I miss other things too...
I miss not having enough time in my day to get the bajillion items I want done (although I did pretty good yesterday...and almost got all my little addictions in too...sushi dinner with the husband, cleaned 1/2 the house, tv junkie at bed time...still no soda...ugh!)
I miss not being able to spend enough time with family...and by family, I mean my parents/sister/her husband and kids and Mike's parents (and sister, but that comes this Summer!!)...I think not being in the same town doesn't really help, but I am such a HUGE family oriented person. I look forward to beach trips and ski/snowboard trips to Smugg's...even just hanging out for the night...I yearn to have family time and be close. I feel like I have missed out on my "Aunt" duties by not being so close....every time I see the munchkins they are taller, can talk more, know more stuff than I do and are loosing front teeth to that darned tooth fairy! I also miss not having spent lots of time with my 2 cousins and their wives (and the adorable new baby Matthew!) and my Uncle Tom and Aunt Sue...
I miss not spending more time with my amazing friends! Whether the friends are close to me now or living in WV (shout out to my E$), I really wish that I felt I had more time to just be around them...even if during the week...which I know can be crazy since with work and dinner and working out, when do you fit in "fun" time with friends...that's what the weekends are for, right? But I want more...lots more...luckily I was able to spend some great time with a few friends for a ski trip out in Canaan Valley this past weekend. What more could you want: friends, food, yummy beverages, a HUGE house, and a HOT TUB...awesome...let's do it again next year!
I also miss my what I consider to be "crafty days"...way back in high school I actually took multimedia art class, stained glass class...and maybe some other things. I also learned in college from my teammate and assistant coach how to MAKE purses by using a sewing machine and buying cloth at the store...I felt so creative, like I was letting out some untamed beast that just wanted to make crafts...I felt pretty good at it too...but then I got "busy" (school, work, etc...you name the excuses...) and completely forgot how to do it...boo hiss...I have received instructions, but I think I am too chicken to try it again and mess up-get super frustrated-and give up with a mess of fabric and knots all over the place and have me stomping around the house with a pouty face (it would SO happen...) I guess I feel the urge to be creative since a lot of my friends are into making jewelry and all lately...and they are gorgeous...check out these (made by my friend Erin) and also these lovely little clusters(made by my friend Marisa)... SOOOOO pretty!
I miss the fact that my body keeps feeling so OLD...I still play volleyball (which my sister got me into at a young age...funny stories about that I will share later)...but I have always had back problems...so while I regularly play sports and work out, I also regularly see a chiropractor for my aching back...
I miss days without stress...I am pretty sure I live in a stress bubble (just ask Mike). I have that type A personality where everything has to be done YESTERDAY...it's horrible, but I have tried to fix this and I seem to get no where-Mike helps me to just chill out (thank goodness!) or I would in all likelihood just flip out on a moment's notice. My mind is always rambling with things to do...which can range from work, to working out, to finances and paying things, to what are we doing for dinner tonight and where are we going this weekend...it's a constant buzz up there...I wish I could just dump it out and feel the peace and serenity that I know I could if I would just mellow out a bit...which is why I think I need to start some kind of yoga practice or meditation...to fully open up my mind and release all these little demons wreaking havoc on my mind and body...it's time!
I miss the days of college, in the fact that when I go out and party like a rockstar these days, I sure DO NOT feel like a rockstar the next morning, or even afternoon...sometimes not even for a couple days! I have no clue how I managed to live back then! Even though I was a D1 collegiate athlete, we found time to go out mid-week and on weekends...I can remember one time I went out with my at the time roomie (Candice) and our other "party pal" (CJ) to our favorite bar for some drink specials on a Wednesday night (I think)...I remember thinking...I have to get up really early for lifting (as in heavy lifting of weights/workout) at 7 am....yes, 7 AM...so I partied all night and probably got in after 2 (when the bar would close down) ...pass out smelling like smoke (thank goodness for no smoking bars in VA now)...groggily woke up, got myself together in time to scramble to weight lifting...and I proceeded to do my workout! (ok, karma may have gotten me that day...I was doing box jumps on the tallest box, totally missed, and scraped off most of my shin onto this lovely black box of death...didn't feel too amazingly rockstar-ish after that one...went to get bandaged and came back to finish the workout...)...what I wuldn't do to be able to handle myself the next morning...instead I am a glob of a person, laying in bed and feeling completely worthless to all...don't even ask me to do anything, it's not happening til after 5 pm...for serious!
Well, enough jibber jabber from this gal, Happy Thursday (it's almost Friday...be optimistic!)

It does not depend! | The Comparative Advantage
It does not depend!
April 10, 2009 — sherfelad
If you can say that there is one thing common to all MBA classes, I think it is this: there is one answer you hear from all the professors: it depends.
Accounting, economics, and organizational behaviour… in all of these classes I have been hearing the same tune: it depends. It varies by professor. Some never say what they actually think or what they will actually do if they were presented with a certain situation, only present the various options. Some, hint to what they actually think. You know what? When you think about it, this might even be a good thing. after all, a good manager should be able to see all sides of an issue before he makes a decision, right?
But still, sometime I feel there is misalignment here. That the teachings err on the side of caution. That the fear to say something concrete and get it wrong just overwhelms all other considerations. Because in real life, after weighing all the evidence, a manger has to make a decision. Even if it is the wrong one. Even if there is still uncertainty involved. And a manager needs to be able to back his decision and explain its merits, even if the data he is partial.
This week I attended a conversation on photovoltaic with David Jordan, Director of Business Development for the UNSW Engineering Faculty. He used to work for BP and told us that when they presented a project in order to get funding as part of the capital investment process, they were not allowed to use the word “contingent”. In some of the courses I covered in the MBA so far, that has been to number one used word.
It depends is a good answer. It is just not good enough.

Believe, Witness Miracles: Body-Needs Exercise: what does your body NEED?
I remember in college wishing myself and all my friends "Happy Singles Awareness Day." When you're happy in a relationship, Valentine's day can be really fun,... or it can be a hassle and one more thing to remember. When you're not in a happy relationship, though, Valentine's day can be miserable.
So I wanted to write for a minute this potentially-emotional morning about emotions and how they work. There are many different facets to emotions and their dealings, but the point I wanted to focus on today is the role of our physical bodies as co-creators of our emotions.
Did you know anxiety and even depression can be caused by dehydration?
Our bodies are tools; they are machines; they are powerful creators with powerful needs.
When our bodies' needs are not being met, our bodies can manufacture the molecules (or "brain chemistry") of emotion to try and get our attention.
Last year or the year before, I was having a truly terrible time dealing with my two-year-old. Just thinking about her would give me heart palpitations. I loved her--but I just couldn't be near her. A single touch from her would make my skin crawl.
One day I was telling a friend about this and my struggle. I was releasing emotions like crazy, doing tons of energy work on myself and my child and our relationship, and yet my body would still physically react to this kid. I couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, in addition to being energetically gifted, my friend was also a nutritionist. She said: "Oh, don't feel bad. Don't feel guilty. It's just your body trying to give you a message. You're nutritionally depleted and manufacturing emotions of trauma is the only way your body has to tell you."
When she explained it, it made so much sense. I'd been pregnant, nursed Baby #1 through my pregnancy with Baby #2 (the child in question), and then nursed Baby #2 all through my pregnancy with Baby #3--and I was still nursing this two-year-old even though I was also nursing her baby brother.
The fact was, my body was nutritionally depleted. It was really struggling to keep up with so much nursing and the fact was, my two-year-old was very able to sustain herself on regular food.
I didn't loathe my toddler; not really. My body was reacting with heart palpitations, stress, and skin-crawly-feelings when she came close because it was trying to tell me: STOP NURSING THIS KID!! REPLETE YOUR NUTRIENTS!!!
What a blessing that I figured out that then, instead of honestly believing I didn't like my child. I love my girl and I am so glad she's in my life. But my body was being physically depleted of nutrients by the nature of my relationship with her, and something had to change--so my body reacted by creating negative emotional feelings in an attempt to get my conscious attention. If I had been listening to my body more closely, maybe I would have weaned her sooner. As soon as she was weaned, our relationship and my emotions around her got SO much better.
Bodies create emotions to get our attention
One book I highly recommend is called Your Body's Many Cries For Water. Go read the book, but one highlight for me was learning that the body can manufacture emotions of anxiety and depression for the primary purpose of getting us to realize we arethirsty. Your body says-- "I AM ANXIOUS FOR WATER!!!" and so many times, we don't understand the message.
Isn't that just how it goes? Pardon the use of the Lord's name in vain, I couldn't find an edited version. But our bodies try so hard to communicate their needs to us, and so many times, we end up thinking, "guess we'll never know."
Today, I invite you to consider the possibility that some of your negative daily emotions have a nutritional root. I invite you to drink more water than you think you need, say NO to a sugary Valentine's dessert that will only place your body under even more stress, and eat some vegetables!
And here is an exercise you can do today to get a little more in touch with your body and how it's fulfilling its role as a co-creator of your emotions.
Body-Needs Exercise (for Valentine's Day!)
First, get out a pen and paper. You're going to start by writing about the most irritating emotion you regularly experience. Depression/sadness, "numb" emptiness, irritability, anxiety, frustration, worry. Whatever it is, write it down.
Write down how it makes you feel in your body when you think about it. Does your stomach feel tighter? Does your forehead get tight? Does your throat feel dry? What physical body sensations do you feel when you think about this emotion you deal with?
Now go ahead and take a few deep breaths. Put the pen or pencil down. Cover your eyes with your hands and just breathe.
When you feel your body relax into your hands, go ahead and ask yourself: "Body, do you have a message for me with this emotion? Is there something you are trying to tell me that will help me experience better emotions?"
And then just listen. As ideas come to you, write them down--ALL of them, no matter how silly or weird they sound. Don't judge them, just write.
Maybe your body will have a message for you: "I need more water." "I need more magnesium." "I need less sugar." "I need to relax and rest." "I need more sleep." "I need more peace."
You can set a timer for 5-10 minutes and just commit to listening to your body for that amount of time. When it's done, you're done for now. Take a look at what you wrote down and pray about it. Ask God for a verification: is this a message I should take seriously? And if the answer is yes, the next step is to make a plan for how to serve your body better in the future.
Oh, friends, I wish you the happiest Valentine's day!! I hope this exercise comes in handy and that you listen to the messages your body might have for you today. If you do this exercise, please write me back and let me know how it goes.
Sending you all some happy V-day vibes!!!
