Abstract:
A method includes obtaining pairs of in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) samples associated with a signal to be demodulated. The method also includes providing a set of the I/Q pairs to a trained AI/ML model. The set of the I/Q pairs includes an I/Q pair associated with a symbol being demodulated and at least one I/Q pair associated with at least one prior symbol that has been demodulated. In addition, the method includes using the trained AI/ML model to generate a symbol estimate for the symbol based on the set of the I/Q pairs, where the symbol estimate represents a portion of data that is encoded in the signal.

The invention relates to an electrically controlled device, which device comprises at least one electrically and individually controllable cell (L,R) with at least two separate electrode structures (10,50) arranged within the cell, each of the electrode structures capable of storing electric charges (C10,C50). The device further comprises a charge transfer mechanism (P,S10,S20,TFT10,TFT50) to transfer electric charges in a temporally controlled manner between the at least two separate electrode structures (10,50), and that for at least one of the electrode structures within the cell, the charge transfer mechanism comprises substantially the only means for providing electrical power and/or electrical driving. The invention reduces the power consumption of the electrode structures by use of a new type of in-cell type charge recycling. The invention is especially suitable to be used in light modulator components based on the use of electrically deformable viscoelastic materials.

Abstract:
There is provided a tunable radio frequency (RF) signal generator comprising: a bi-directional ring laser and a photodetector. The ring laser includes a phase modulator driven by an electrical signal. In use, the modulator imparts a phase shift in dependence on the electrical signal to at least one of a mutually coherent clockwise and counter-clockwise propagating optical signal in the ring laser so as to produce a predetermined difference in the frequency of the clockwise and counter-clockwise propagating signals. The photodetector is optically coupled to an optical output of the ring laser, and in use the photodetector generates a radio frequency signal in dependence on the difference in frequency of the clockwise and counter-clockwise propagating optical signals. There is also provided a method for generating a tunable radio frequency signal using the tunable radio frequency (RF) signal generator.
Abstract:
The optical image reject down converter maps a received radio frequency (RF) into an arbitrary intermediate frequency range and precludes interference between the received signals. A received radio frequency signal is downconverted into an intermediate frequency band for use by an electronic circuit in other devices. Optical light is divided, in a first path light is transferred into an optical sideband by a first optical modulator or phase modulator. Light in a second path is converted into 18 GHz sidebands. The signal is amplified and additional sidebands are generated by a received 9 GHz signal. The filtered sideband is heterodyned with the 25 GHz signal of path one, resulting in downconversion to 2 GHZ. Image frequencies which are present in the optical link are filtered and are rejected.
Abstract:
An input signal input to a 180 degree distributor is distributed as two signals, one of which with its phase inverted 180 degrees is input to a first modulation light source and the other with its phase unchanged is input to a second modulation light source; both signals are modulated with the intensity and the frequency of the light emission dependent on signal amplitude. The modulated signals are coupled by an optical coupler and subjected to heterodyne detection through a photodetector, where their light intensity modulation components offset each other when added and the multiplication of their light frequency components results in the frequency transition quantity doubling.
