摘要:
Methods and apparatus for generating and processing wideband signals having reduced discrete power spectral density (PSD) components are disclosed. A wideband signal having reduced discrete PSD components is achieved by generating data symbols responsive to data for transmission, transforming one or more of the data symbols into a frame including one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, selectively inverting the frame responsive to a pseudo-random data sequence, and modulating wideband signal pulses of the wideband signal with the selectively inverted frame.
摘要:
A method comprising controlling a radio-frequency transmitter of a magnetic resonance imaging device to apply an inversion pulse to a sample magnetization. In a multi-shot readout phase, the method further comprises controlling a gradient system of the magnetic resonance imaging device to apply a steady-state gradient echo readout sequence comprising at least one first phase-encoding gradient along a first direction, at least one second phase-encoding gradient along a second direction, and a sequence of readout gradients along a readout direction. The method further comprises, in the multi-shot readout phase: controlling the gradient system to apply first AC gradients along the first direction and at least partly contemporaneously with readout gradients of the sequence of readout gradients and controlling the gradient system to apply second AC gradients along the second direction and at least partly contemporaneously with the readout gradients of the sequence of readout gradients.

摘要:
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Today's leading edge modulated sinusoidal wave wireless communication standards and systems achieve power efficiencies of 50 nJ/bit employing narrowband signaling schemes and traditional RF transceiver architectures. However, such designs severely limit the achievable energy efficiency, especially at lower data rates such as below 1 Mbps. Further, it is important that peak power consumption is supportable by common battery or energy harvesting technologies and long term power consumption neither leads to limited battery lifetimes or an inability for alternate energy sources to sustain them. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for next generation applications to exploit inventive transceiver structures and communication schemes in order to achieve the sub nJ per bit energy efficiencies required by next generation applications.

摘要:
A constrained-envelope digital-communications transmitter circuit (22) includes a binary data source (32) that provides an input stream (34) to a modulator (77, 77'). The modulator (77, 77') includes a pulse-spreading filter (76) that filters a phase-point stream (50) or a composite signal stream (168) into a modulated signal (74). A constrained-envelope generator (106) generates a constrained-bandwidth error signal stream (108) from the modulated signal (74), and a delay element (138) delays the modulated signal (74) into a delayed modulated signal (1240) synchronized with the constrained-bandwidth error signal stream (108). A complex summing circuit (110) sums the delayed modulated signal (140) and the constrained-bandwidth error signal stream (108) into an altered modulated signal (112), and a substantially linear amplifier (146) amplifies the altered modulated signal (112) and transmits it as a radio-frequency broadcast signal (26).
