Toward a Full-Flexible and Fast-Prototyping TOF-PET Block Detector Based on TDC-on-FPGA

Edoardo Charbon, Esteban Venialgo Araujo

Typically, a time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) block detector is built using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), since they integrate a high number of channels at a reasonable power consumption and into a small area. How ...

Bolometric detection of ferromagnetic resonance in YIG slab

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Sa Tu, Marcin Bialek, Yao Zhang

The resistance of the Pt bar deposited on the YIG slab was monitored while the magnetic field was ramped through the ferromagnetic resonance with the YIG slab facing a coplanar waveguide resonator excited at 4.3 GHz excitation. The resistance change provid ...

Wide-Band Audio Coding based on Frequency Domain Linear Prediction

Hynek Hermansky, Petr Motlicek, Sriram Ganapathy

We revisit an original concept of speech coding in which the signal is separated into the carrier modulated by the signal envelope. A recently developed technique, called frequency-domain linear prediction (FDLP), is applied for the efficient estimation of ...

Low power frequency synthesizer for mobile communications systems

Imre Kovacs

A novel frequency synthesizer with a strong emphasis on low-power consumption (2mW) was developed for this thesis. A BAW-resonator was used for the design of the high-frequency oscillator. The BAW's high Q-Factor ensured a minimal power consumption, while ...
