FCC-compliant millimeter-wave ultra-wideband pulse generator based on optoelectronic oscillation
Abstract:
We report a photonic scheme to generate a millimeter-wave ultra-wideband (MMW-UWB) pulse based on optoelectronic oscillation (OEO). Normally, a millimeter-wave signal source is essential for the generation of a MMW-UWB pulse. The key novelty of our work is that no millimeter-wave signal source is required. The MMW-UWB pulses are directly generated by truncating an OEO signal into pulses. The principle behind the proposed scheme is analyzed in detail. A proof-of-concept experiment shows that the generated MMW-UWB pulses fit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectral mask very well.

Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...
