The Spatially Modulated Light CMOS detector (SML CMOS detector) has taken away the conventional speed limit linked with photodetectors implemented in standard CMOS technology [1-3]. High-speed light detectors can be integrated with the CMOS receiver circuitry on the same silicon wafer without the usage of hybrid technology nor additional process steps. This indicates that the SML-detector will ...

The jointly optimum noncoherent multiuser detector is obtained for nonlinear nonorthogonal modulation over the frequency nonselective Rayleigh-fading multiple-access channel. Upper and lower bounds on average bit-error probability are derived. While these bounds are numerically computable, they are too complicated to give insight into the relative influence of system parameters on the essential...

Despite the rapid development of the quantum well ~QW! infrared technology, the intrinsic properties of the QW infrared photodetectors ~QWIPs! have not been directly measured under the operating conditions of the detector. In this work, we introduce a characterization technique, which utilizes the surface corrugation to probe the absorption coefficient and the photoconductive gain of a QWIP und...

The MIAplex® device is a miniaturized detector, devoted to the high sensitive detection of superparamagnetic nanoprobes for multiparametric immunoassays. It measures a signal corresponding to the second derivative of the magnetization around zero field. Like any new technology, the real success of the MIAplex® detector can only be exploited through a deep understanding of the magnetic signature...

This paper considers the application of bio-inspired systems in the design of a novel and highly parallel image processing tool to detect edges within conventional grey-scale images. The aim of the work is to implement a new image processing architecture through evolvable hardware that is able to adapt according to the particular images encountered. The simulation of such a system through the u...

Edge detection is an important aspect in image processing. When a noisy image is presented for edge detection, the noise creates problem in the process of edge detection using conventional methods. One of the disadvantages of the conventional methods is that the noise is not removed automatically. The present paper proposes a novel approach for noise removal cum edge detection for both gray sca...

We have recently built and characterized the performance of a monolithic scintillator detector based on a 32 mm  ×  32 mm  ×  22 mm LYSO:Ce crystal read out by digital silicon photomultiplier (dSiPM) arrays coupled to the crystal front and back surfaces in a dual-sided readout (DSR) configuration. The detector spatial resolution appeared to be markedly better than that of a detector consisting ...

This paper presents an extended version of Partial Parallel Interference Cancellation (PPIC) called Variance reduced Partial Parallel Interference Cancellation (VRPPIC) for multicarrier code division multiple access uplink systems. The combination of PPIC receiver and new bit estimator is called VRPPIC detector. This realization is derived for the main PPIC operation and soft decision (SD) from...

Full waveform data recording the reflected laser signal from ground objects have been provided by some commercial airborne LIDAR systems in the last few years. Waveform data enable users to explore more information and characteristics of the earth surface than conventional LIDAR point cloud. An important application is to extract extra point clouds from waveform data in addition to the point cl...
