white paper on coupled diode discovery
Boy,
talk about the sound of one hand clapping....
I have not seen too much activity on the reflector.
Everyone must be on vacation. Speaking of which, I'm on vacation right now!
Anyway, there have been a few people who asked me for a basic overview,
and a few more details on the coupled diode discovery method.
These people had not been around for earlier IEEE meetings where Dan Dove,
and then Robert Muir
made proposals for using a diode for an identification network.
Anyway, I adapted my recent project paper for a class at SCU, and it explains
what is going on from a basic point of view, plus a few nuts and bolts.

(it's also in the Sept 2000 meeting folder)
I hope this helps to explain what's going on, and how I implemented the
Verilog code.
This is, of course, just one of many ways to use this method.
thanks,
