A photonic approach to the simultaneous measurement of the frequency, pulse amplitude (PA), pulse width (PW), and time of arrival (TOA) of an unknown pulsed microwave signal is proposed and demonstrated. The measurement is performed based on optical carrier-suppressed modulation, complementary optical filtering, low-speed photodetection, and electrical signal processing. A proof-of-concept expe...

The Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) is used for three phase bridge Inverter to produce AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency.

The capacity of time-hopping pulse position modulation (PPM) and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) for an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system is investigated based on the multipath fading statistics of UWB indoor wireless channels. A frequency-selective fading channel is considered for both single-user and multiple-user UWB wireless systems. A Gaussian approximation based on the single-use...

A new mathematical treatment and algorithm for the design of |B1(+)|-selective RF excitation pulses is presented and validated. The algorithm is based on a rotated Shinnar-Le Roux pulse design algorithm, wherein the pulse's frequency modulation waveform is directly designed by the algorithm, and its amplitude and sign modulation waveform takes the place of the gradient field. A new pulse config...

We investigate the self-phase modulation (SPM) of a single-cycle terahertz pulse in a semiconductor, using bulk n-GaAs as a model system. The SPM arises from the heating of free electrons in the electric field of the terahertz pulse, leading to an ultrafast reduction of the plasma frequency, and hence to a strong modification of the terahertz-range dielectric function of the material. Terahertz...

The technique is suggested for a kind of pulse-width-modulation LED dimming in LED video displays. The significant increase of the gray levels number and image refresh frequency can be achieved when the large number of LEDs is controlled serially. The need for a large number of grayscale levels and high refresh rate is explained. The controlling data flow and the amount of buffer memory are the...

Ultrasound modulated optical tomography (USMOT) can image the optical properties of a scattering medium at a spatial resolution approaching that of ultrasound (US).
