This document presents a “strawman ” design for the Long Wavelength Array (LWA) stations. 1.

It now appears that current (2002) technology allows construction of a cross-correlator large

the next generation IP effort into one lacking any significant “must have ” features. This paper revisits the subject of a next generation IP and presents a new design that builds upon previous and on-going research in proposing a strawman design that we term IPv10.0. Our objective is to present a starting

In 1993, a large radio telescope (LT, now referred as the SKA) was proposed by astronomers from 10 countries at the 24 th General Assembly of URSI. The SKA would be a telescope array with a total (effective) collecting area of about one square kilometer. There are various concepts, worldwide, for realizing the SKA project. Extensive efforts have been made, e.g., by project teams in The Netherlands (a wide-band phased array), Australia (an array of spherical Luneburg lenses), Canada (large adaptive reflector of very long focal length), China (an Arecibo-style dish), the United States (the Allen telescope array), India (an array of steerable parabolic dishes) etc., for details, see

for such Hippocratic database systems. We propose a strawman design for Hippocratic databases, identify the technical challenges and problems in designing such databases, and suggest some approaches that may lead to solutions. Our hope is that this paper will serve to catalyze a fruitful and exciting direction

Abstract—This paper puts forth a straw man proposal for future diverse internets. Guided by a principle that we call Align-and-Decouple (AD), our AD protocol architecture design calls for lightweight transport protocols that allow for decoupled operation of networks that are either owned

active development. Here we have described the CERN ERL test facility purposes and specific requirements along with two conceivable layout schematics. The ultimate goal is a design that operates on a multiple operating points in order to allow for a comprehensive validation testing of the key concepts

Low-power wireless networks must leverage radio duty cycling to reduce energy consumption, but duty cycling drastically increases the risk of radio collisions, resulting in power-expensive retransmissions or data loss. We present Strawman, a contention resolution mechanism designed for low

The strawman design document [1] for the LWA suggests that the Front End Electronics (FEE) could be powered through the use of a circuit known as a bias-T. We will discuss how a bias-T operates and present a low cost design optimized for performance within the LWA frequency range of 20 to 80 MHz
