    Abstract: An apparatus to detect a heart rate of a user includes a motion detection circuit configured to generate a motion status signal indicative of a motion status of the user. The apparatus also comprises a filter circuit coupled to the motion detection circuit that is configured to generate a filter circuit output signal based on dynamically variable. The coefficients are dependent on the motion status signal and a first signal received by the filter circuit. The apparatus also comprises a combination circuit coupled to the filter circuit and configured to receive a second signal indicative of the ambient light, the motion of the user, and non-ambient light reflected from the user. The combination circuit is configured to determine a difference between the second signal and the filter circuit output signal to generate a combination circuit output signal.

    Abstract: A digital down converter (DDC) that improves efficiency by taking advantage of the periodicity of the coarse mixing process and the memory inherent in the convolution operation performed by decimation filters. In embodiments, the DDC filters and decimates a received signal to generate subfilter outputs and coarse mixes the subfilter outputs for each frequency band of interest. Accordingly, the DDC eliminates the need for separate decimation filters for each of the in-phase (I-phase) and quadrature (Q-phase) signals of each frequency band. In some embodiments, for each frequency band, the DDC combines the subfilter outputs into partial sums for each of the I- and Q-phases. In some of those embodiments, the coarse mixing operation is performed by multiplying the partial sums by real multiplicands and performing a simple post-rotation operation. In those embodiments, the DDC significantly reduces the number of multiplication operations required to perform the coarse mixing process.

    Abstract: A three dimensional time of flight (TOF) camera includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to generate an electrical transmit signal at a plurality of frequencies over an integration time period and generate a transmit optical waveform corresponding with the electrical transmit signal. The receiver is configured to receive a reflected optical waveform that is the transmit optical waveform reflected off of an object, integrate the reflected optical waveform over the integration time period, and determine a distance to the target object based on a TOF of the optical waveform. The integration time period includes exposure time periods. A length of each of the exposure time periods corresponds to one of the frequencies. The TOF is determined based on a correlation of the electrical transmit signal and the return optical waveform utilizing a correlation function with respect to the integration time period.
