In this paper, three new ultra wideband (UWB) communication systems with quadrature-phase shift keying (QPSK) impulse modulation are proposed. First, direct-sequence (DS) multiple-access scheme is applied. The second proposed system is based on time-hopping (TH) multiple-access scheme. The last proposed system applies TH multipleaccess scheme with QPSK impulse modulation and pulse position modu...

BACKGROUND Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) is known to be a good calisthenics for people. This study examined the relationship between pulse harmonics and autonomic nervous modulation in TCC practitioners. METHODS Power spectral measures of right pulse wave and heart rate variability (HRV) measures were compared between TCC practitioners and control subjects. Correlation analyses between pulse harmonics ...

Trends in modern communication systems place high demands on low power consumption, high speed transmission and anti-interference characteristics. Therefore impulse radio ultra–wideband (IR-UWB) [1] radio systems have recently gained increased popularity. Since IR-UWB symbols are transmitted with short pulses (< 2 ns), in IR-UWB systems, energy has been spread over the frequency bands of up to ...

Integration and recovery processes contribute to the temporal selectivity of neurons in the midbrain of the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens Abstract This study examined the mechanisms underlying amplitude modulation selectivity in the anuran auditory midbrain. Single units were recorded extracel-lularly in the torus semicircularis of the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens. Two physiologica...

Abstract: As the size and the cost of power semiconductor switches are decreasing, converter topologies with high device count are starting to draw more attention. One such type of converters is the high frequency AC (hfac) link converters. A popular control method for these converters is Pulse Density Modulation (PDM). The hfac link voltage of the converter in this paper is a high frequency, t...

This paper proposes and demonstrates novel types of vision chips that utilize pulse trains for image processing. Two types of chips were designed using 1.2 μm double-metal double-poly CMOS process; one is based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) and the other is based on a pulse frequency modulation (PFM). In both chips the interaction between the pixels were introduced to realize the image pre-...

The stimulated Raman scattering signal is often accompanied by unwanted background arising from other pump-probe modalities. We demonstrate an approach to overcome this challenge based on spectral domain modulation, enabled by a compact, cost-effective angle-to-wavelength pulse shaper. The pulse shaper switches between two spectrally narrow windows, which are cut out of a broadband femtosecond ...

This paper presents the implementation of Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) pulse compression technique over acoustic waveguides at frequency range (2kHz--3kHz). The medium used for acoustic chirp propagation is air. Real time pulse compression was carried out over DSP kit (TMS320C6713). The obtained range from the compressed pulse accedes to the actual range of the target (sound source). The s...
