QPSK Modulator with Continuous Phase and Fast Response Based on Phase-Locked Loop
Among M-phase shift keying (M-PSK) schemes, quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) is used most often because of its efficient Magic The Gathering bandwidth consumption.However, in comparison with minimum-shift keying, which has continuous phase transitions, QPSK requires a higher bandwidth to transmit a signal.This article focuses on the phase trans
Bariatric surgery and diabetes remission: Who would have thought it?
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are increasingly common and major global health problems.The Edmonton obesity staging system clearly pointed towards increased mortality proportionate to the severity of obesity.Obesity itself triggers insulin resistance and thereby poses the risk of T2DM.Both obesity and T2DM have been associated with hi
