Patterns and localized structures in bistable semiconductor resonators

We report experiments on spatial switching dynamics and steady state structures of passive nonlinear semiconductor resonators of large Fresnel number. Extended patterns and switching front dynamics are observed and investigated. Evidence of localization of structures is given.Comment: 5 pages with 9 figure

Automatic measurement of selected parameters of mobile system devices in standard E1

Przedstawiono system pomiarowy wybranych parametrów urządzeń naziemnej infrastruktury systemów komórkowych pracujący w standardzie E1. System został zbudowany na bazie komputera PC wyposażonego w kartę standardu E1 i zawiera opracowane i zaimplementowane oprogramowanie. Badania eksperymentalne obejmowały weryfikację poprawności działania systemu pomiarowego. Przeprowadzono je testując wykorzystywane w systemie GSM radiolinie firmy NOKIA, umożliwiające bezprzewodowe przesyłanie danych cyfrowych. Zmierzono bitową stopę błędów transmisji w jednej szczelinie czasowej przy zastosowaniu kodowania Hamminga.The measurement of selected parameters of mobile cellular ground infrastructure working in the standard E1 have been presented.

Transient multimodality in relaxation from an unstable state.

We analyse a relaxation process from an unstable state during which transient multimodality occurs. This phenomenon is investigated experimentally on an electronic analogue circuit which mimics an overdamped bistable oscillator described by a sixth--order polynomial U(x) and is driven by a Gaussian white noise. The measured times and positions at which new maxima appear in the probability distribution function agree well with the theoretical predictions. It is shown that the shape of the potential guarantees the existence of two different time scales, allowing for the coexistence of three probability distribution peaks during a sizeable interval of time, even though there is no long "flat" region in the potential where U'(x) is very small. Finally, the concept of marginality with reference to unsteady states is discussed
