Direct Signal Detection Without Data‐Aided: A MIMO Functional Network Approach
Functional network (FN) has been successfully applied in many fields, but so far no methods of direct signal detection (DSD) using FN have been published. In this chapter, a novel DSD approach using FN, which can be applied to cases with a plural source signal sequence, with short sequence, and even with the absence of a training sequence, is presented. Firstly, a multiple‐input multiple‐output FN (MIMOFN), in which the initial input vector is devised via QR decomposition of the receiving signal matrix, is constructed to solve the special issues of DSD. In the meantime, the design method for the neural function of this special MIMOFN is proposed. Then the learning rule for the parameters of neural functions is trained and updated by back‐propagation (BP) algorithm. The correctness and effectiveness of the new approach are verified by simulation results, together with some special simulation phenomena of the algorithm. The proposed method can detect the source sequence directly from the observed output data by utilizing MIMOFN without a training sequence and estimating the channel impulse response
A Low-Noise Analog Front End with Interstage Systematically Ambient Interference Cancellation for Pulse Oximeter
This paper presents a low-noise analog front end (AFE) with interstage systematically ambient interference cancellation for a pulse oximeter, which is suitable for clinical oxygen saturation (SPO2) detection with a low perfusion index. The fully differential implementation is adopted to have a better rejection performance of common mode interference and noise. Firstly, the proposed interstage systematically ambient interference cancellation is placed in the two gain stages to decrease low frequency noise in the bandwidth of interest (0.1–20 Hz), so that the larger signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be achieved to increase the detection accuracy of this system. Secondly, due to the additional gain stage compared with traditional implementation, the current-reuse OTA is employed to have better noise and power efficiency. Thirdly, the auto zero technique is utilized in the LED Driver to decrease the offset voltage and acquire a larger dynamic range (DR) in the low frequency bandwidth of interest. This PPG AFE chip is designed and fabricated in a 180 nm standard CMOS process. The receiver (RX) of this AFE consumes 220 μW from a 1.8 V supply, and the power consumption of the transmitter (TX) is 60 μW from a 3 V supply. The measurement results show that the input-referred noise current of 2.3 pA/sqrt(Hz) is achieved in RX and 110 dB peak DR is obtained in TX

Mid-infrared tunable intracavity singly resonant optical parametric oscillator based on Mgo : PPLN
In this paper, we demonstrated a continuous-wave intracavity singly resonant optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 (MgO:PPLN) pumped by a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser at 1064 nm. The singly resonant optical parametric oscillator only outputs the idler light as its cavity high reflectivity was coated at the signal light. When the temperature was controlled at 120°C and the grating period set at 30.5 μm for the MgO:PPLN, a maximum idler output power of 1.27 W and central wavelength at 3251 nm were obtained under an incident diode pump power of 12.4 W, corresponding to the conversion efficiency of 10.2%. By changing the temperature and the grating period of MgO:PPLN crystal, widely tunable mid-infrared spectra from 2.95 to 4.16 μm were achieved.Published versio
