    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and methods for measuring electrochemical state of rechargeable batteries such as state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH). In various aspects, the system may include an inductive coil attached to the battery and a battery current sensor. Alternating current with a fixed frequency is applied to the coil to generate magnetic fields, and the magnetic fields induce losses including Eddy current loss and a loss related to battery currents. The system compensates for the effect of the loss related to battery currents for battery electrochemical state estimation. In another aspect, the system uses both coil-based measurement and ampere hour counting (AHC) measurement for SoC measurement. The system conducts coil-based SoC measurement only occasionally to reset the accumulated error of AHC-based SoC measurement. In yet another aspect, the system combines coil-based measurement with other measurements.

    Abstract: A distributed photodiode with FIR filtering function enabled by a lumped transmission line is provided. The distributed photodiode includes inductors, a plurality of photodiode segments, photodiode biasing components, and termination impedance. The electrical bandwidth due to the junction parasitic capacitance of the photodiode is increased as the parasitic capacitance is absorbed in the transmission line structure. Moreover, the delay elements inherent in the transmission line enable implementation of an analog finite impulse response (FIR) filter that has equalization capability to allow a customized photodiode frequency response compensation.
