    Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems are provided for vibrational frequency detection (e.g., noncontact vital sign detection) using digitally assisted low intermediate frequency (IF) architectures. In one example, a transceiver system is configured to transmit a modulated signal generated by modulating a local oscillator (LO) signal with an IF carrier; generate an IF signal by down converting a received signal comprising backscatter with the LO signal; and simultaneously sample the IF carrier and the IF signal. A vibration frequency can be determined by demodulating the sampled IF signal with the sampled IF carrier. In another example, a method includes generating and transmitting a modulated signal; receiving backscatter of the modulated signal; generating an IF signal by down converting the received signal with the LO signal; simultaneously sampling the IF carrier and the IF signal; and determining a vibration frequency by demodulating the sampled IF signal with the sampled IF carrier.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for non-contact detection techniques of mechanical vibrations utilizing a radio frequency system incorporating multiple carrier wavelengths. The new detection method measures multiple harmonic pairs at a carrier frequency and improves the detection accuracy and reliability by first inspecting the Bessel function coefficient of each harmonic and then determining the harmonic amplitude. The original mechanical vibration can then be reconstructed. Embodiments can be used to realize sensing of complex non-sinusoidal vibrations using a wavelength division sensing technique and allow non-contact detection through walls, smoke, fog or other low visibility environments with the advantage of longer range detection and easy integration at a low cost.

    Abstract: Various examples are provided for wireless power transfer to implants. In one example, a system includes a radio frequency (RF) power source and a transmitter (TX) array comprising an excitation coil and resonant coils distributed about the excitation coil. The TX array can transfer power from the RF power source to a biomedical implant inserted below a skin surface of a subject when the TX array is positioned on the skin surface adjacent to the biomedical implant. A receiver (RX) coil of the biomedical implant can inductively couple with the TX array for the power transfer. The resonant coils can allow power transfer when the RX coil is not aligned with the excitation coil.
