In this paper, we report a power management system for autonomous and real-time monitoring of the neurotransmitter L-glutamate (L-Glu). A low-power, low-noise, and high-gain recording module was designed to acquire signal from an implantable flexible L-Glu sensor fabricated by micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based processes. The wearable recording module was wirelessly powered through in...

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is seen as one of the key technologies in wireless communication industry that offers significant increase in data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or increased transmit power. Such systems have the potential to spread the same total transmit power over the antennas to achieve an array gain that improves the spectral efficiency and/or ...

Dynamic spectrum access is a must-have ingredient for future sensors that are ideally cognitive. The goal of this paper is a tutorial treatment of wideband cognitive radio and radar-a convergence of (1) algorithms survey, (2) hardware platforms survey, (3) challenges for multi-function (radar/communications) multi-GHz front end, (4) compressed sensing for multi-GHz waveforms-revolutionary A/D, ...

In the down link scenario of code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, multi user detectors (MUDs) such as linear de-correlating detector (LDDs) provide satisfactory symbol error rates (SERs) at the expense of much increased complexity, they require all active users’ spreading sequences, which is impractical from privacy point of view. To overcome this impracticality, a simple matched filte...

We present a new set of near orthogonal codes which we call Hadamard Aperiodic Interval (HAPI) and demonstrate their utility for parallel multi-transmitter synthetic aperture imaging. The are tri-state sparse. Locations non-zero bits based on marks in sequence aperiodic intervals, also known as Golomb ruler. values selected from sequences that mutually orthogonal. This ensures cross-correlation...

In this letter, adaptive multi-stage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver is considered for multi-rate DS-CDMA system. In each stage of the adaptive multi-stage PIC receiver, multiple access interference (MAI) estimates are obtained by the sub-bit estimates from the previous stage and the adaptive weights for the sub-bit estimates. The adaptive weights are obtained by minimizing th...

A fundamental task in wireless communication is channel estimation: Compute the channel parameters a signal undergoes while traveling from a transmitter to a receiver. In the case of delay-Doppler channel, a widely used method is the matched filter algorithm. It uses a pseudo-random waveform of length N, and, in case of non-trivial relative velocity between transmitter and receiver, its computa...

Can an intelligent jammer learn and adapt to unknown environments in an electronic warfare-type scenario? In this paper, we answer this question in the positive, by developing a cognitive jammer that adaptively and optimally disrupts the communication between a victim transmitter-receiver pair. We formalize the problem using a novel multi-armed bandit framework where the jammer can choose vario...
