High-Speed Switched Serial Fabrics Improve System Design, Third Edition
When VXS, a proposal for standardizing gigabit serial switched fabrics shook the embedded community in 2002 as part of the VMEbus renaissance, XMC, a natural extension of that technology to PMC modules was inevitable. VXS is the popular name for a switched serial backplane fabric implementation for VMEbus. The VXS specification is fabric-transparent, in that there are subspecifications, one for each of fabrics: Infiniband, Serial RapidIO, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express.

Software Defined Radio Handbook (Eighth Edition)
Software Defined Radio (SDR) has revolutionized electronic systems for a variety of applications including communications, data acquisition and signal processing. The inner workings of the SDR will be explored with an in-depth description of the internal structure and the devices used. Finally, some actual board- and system-level implementations and available off-the-shelf SDR products for embedded systems will be described.
