The present invention relates to the conversion of signals from RF to baseband using transition functions, or edge functions. These functions typically transition from positive to negative, or from negative to positive, synchronously with the transition of the received pulse signal, effecting detection essentially by synchronously rectifying a signal cycle of the received pulse, producing a net signal at baseband that can be further processed to detect modulation according to the modulation format. It is further disclosed how to configure these systems for optimal reception with a filter optimized for a given detect signal function. Generalizations of the matched filter embodiment lead to further embodiments employing alternative detection functions. Also disclosed is a two-stage version which applies a decode signal to the rectified signal. This step can be performed by a single correlator or by a plurality of correlators in parallel. Coding methods are disclosed to employ two-stage systems for enhanced channelization, and interference rejection.

A parallel architecture for determining pixels inside a graphics primitive is provided. The architecture is a pipeline structure having a predetermined number of sequential logic circuits connected in series followed by a predetermined number of parallel logic circuits arranged in a pyramid structure. Each sequential logic circuit uses arithmetic edge functions corresponding to edges of a graphics primitive to determine whether a polygonal portion of a raster image is inside the graphics primitive. If the polygonal portion is at least partly inside the graphics primitive, the sequential logic circuit divides the polygonal portion into a predetermined number of subportions and computes descriptors (e.g., vertices and translated edge functions) for each subportion sequentially. Descriptors are then transferred sequentially to the next stage. Each parallel logic circuit performs the same functions as that of a sequential logic circuit except that a parallel logic circuit computes descriptors of the subportions in parallel and transfers them to the next stage in parallel.

A method for rendering a visible portion of an image that includes a plurality of graphics primitives. The size of the graphics primitives may be large and require the use of floating point numbers to represent the vertices. When the graphics primitives have a common vertex that is visible, the edge functions for the primitive are computed so as to avoid the common vertex becoming different for the different primitives.

Fixed point numbers for the common vertex and other vertices including intersection vertices are then used to compute edge functions of the primitive and the primitive is rendered using the edge functions. If the common vertex is not visible, then floating point numbers are used to compute the edge functions.
