He just used the simplest word for his situation which is that he requires references. Politeness is not built into vocabulary and is much more subtle a thing to learn than definitions. As it has become "required" to use English globally I'm not the least surprised nor chagrined to see such nuance of use dispensed with when used technically.

The original poster appears to be Indian, and what he said is normal usage of Indian English. India is the world's largest English speaking country. Lets be democratic about this. If the largest English speaking community speaks that way, it must be the definitive form, right? :-) There are plenty of things American's say with jar with people from other English speaking countries - phrasing, use of words, and what happened to all the "u"s in US English :-) In a world with so many languages, if communication is working to any reasonable extent we should be happy and show a little flexibility.

Randy interpreted your sentence to mean "References to related links is required by me of you.". But that is one interpretation. The common British idiomatic interpretation of your sentence would be, "References to related links is required of me by circumstances." That is, it is a simple statement of your needs just as you thought it was. -jim -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----

You might want to refer to James Shima's masters thesis, which is available at http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr/Digradio.pdf The most interesting thing, in my opinion, in Jim's implementation is the use of the "ratio" function (equation 4.11) for computing the phase angle at complex baseband.
