Telecomm Trends (2006) 2006: Tech winners and losers The best and worst tech performers in the S&P 500 this year. By Grace Wong, CNNMoney.com staff writer December 14 2006: 12:02 PM EST NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Nvidia tops the list for best performing tech stock in the S&P 500 this year. With a gain of 98 percent as of Wednesday, the graphics chip maker led the winners in 2006. More on tech's biggest winners and losers Software companies Cognizant Technology Solutions (Charts) and BMC Software (Charts) are also among the top 5 performing stocks - as is heavyweight Cisco Systems (Charts), which has climbed 59 percent so far this year. On the other end of the spectrum, chipmaker AMD (Charts) has struggled as has Internet giant Yahoo (Charts). The worst performing tech stock of the year? ADC Telecommunications (Charts), which is down 35 percent in 2006. http://money.cnn.com/2006/12/14/technology/winners_losers/index.htm?postversion=2006121412

Decisions, decisions….. • I live in the Philadelphia metro area. What cell-phone carrier should I choose? • Verizon, Cingular, T-Mobile, ……? • I’m designing the next generation microprocessor. It’s going to be connected to Internet2. How do I design the right size the memory buffer? • I’m designing the remote navigation for the Mars Rover. What’s the right bandwidth/data rate for control signal transmission?
Info Sink Info Source Comm System What is a communications system? • Communications Systems: Systems designed to transmit and receive information
Info Source m(t) message from source n(t) noise Receiver Rx Transmitter Tx Channel received message to sink s(t) transmitted signal r(t) received signal Block Diagram Info Sink
What limits our ability to communicate? • NOISE!!!!! • Noise: an unwanted, random fluctuation in the signal • Without the effects of noise, a message with infinitesimally small power could be transmitted over infinitely large distances • ALL advances in communications technology are advances to combat the effects of noise
Fundamental Limit: Shannon’s Theorem (1948,1949) • Theoretical limit for error-free transmission in a communications system in the presence of noise • Source Data Rate: R [bits/sec] • Channel Capacity: C = B log2(1 + S/N) [bits/sec] • R < C: No Error!!!
Mars Orbiter (Odyssey/Mars Global Surveyer) 12k – 3.5k bps DSN Antenna (on Earth) X-Band 128 kbps Mars Rover (Spirit/Opportunity)
