We present design and performance verification of a high-speed programmable pulse generator based on an integrated direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The generator can produce pulses with an arbitrary frequency modulation, instantaneous frequency up to 140 MHz, and widths ranging from microseconds to milliseconds. The pulses can be formed into arbitrary sequences with the minimum spacing of 150 ns. We experimentally verify performance of the generator for pulses with the linear frequency modulation (LFM), obtaining an excellent performance in terms of the compression ratio and side-lobes level. We also demonstrate the ability of our generator to produce pulses with a nonlinear frequency modulation (NLFM). Experimental analysis of an exemplary NLFM pulse produced by the generator confirms that NLFM allows to reduce the side-lobes level without deteriorating the compression ratio.

Due to the recent advances in ultra wide-band (UWB) radar technologies, there has been widespread interest in the possible medical applications of UWB microwave radar. Therefore, the development of accurate numerical techniques to predict the propagation of UWB signals in biological tissue is of great interest to researchers as an aid in developing signal processing algorithms. Two techniques for modeling the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves in human tissue are presented and compared in this paper: the planar and finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique. A four layer biological model is considered, three layers of normal tissue, and one layer of cancerous soft tissue (sarcoma). The two modeling techniques are used to predict the response of the model to the UWB input signal, with particular focus on the response of the sarcoma layer. Both the Planar technique and the FDTD technique identify the presence of the soft tissue sarcoma quite easily. However the FDTD technique predicts more subtle phenomena such as multiple reflections, albeit at a high computational cost.

A method of spectral modulation for ultra-wideband communication based on orthonormal transform with the use of sine functions is proposed. The results obtained show its better BER performance than conventional scheme in AWGN channel. The proposed scheme is of lower complexity and has additional error detection opportunities in the frequency band.

A numerical aspect of inverse scattering problem solution for plane wave normal incidence on an absorbing medium is considered in the paper. The electromagnetic field equations are reduced to the Zakharov-Shabat's one. A new numerical scheme is developed taking into account peculiarities of the integral equation method for this inverse scattering problem solution. The proposed method has a high accuracy and what is more, it requires neither time consumed iterative approximation nor direct matrix inversion.

Bidirectional antenna amplifiers (BDA) are often used to extend the range of connections in wireless local area networks (WLAN). This paper presents the theory, design procedure and implementation of receiver part of a bidirectional amplifier (BDA) for the 5GHz WLAN systems in 802.11a and HiperLAN-2 standards. Only the blocks that affect the receiver path parameters are considered. In order to reduce the amplifier cost all its circuits are made on FR4 substrate. Since OFDM modulation used in 802.11a is very sensitive to harmonic and intermodulation distortions, two techniques of LNA linearity improvement are implemented.

Rapid growth in wireless mobile communications has generated awareness about electromagnetic interferences of cardiac pacemaker with cellular phones and base station antenna. The work discusses threats connected with a possibility of interference of external electromagnetic fields with the functioning of cardiac pacemakers. The authors demonstrate the preliminary research results of research. The intention of this work was to test a several pacemaker models to determine whether incompatibility with base station antenna may exist. In vivo measuring setup was established and 53 different implanted models of 4 manufacturers were examined. The key point of the research procedure was a patient with implanted pacemaker who moves in the area of emission from base antenna. The operation parameters of the implanted pacemaker were monitored by the 24 hour Holter registration. No dysfunctions of pacemaker were registered.
