The time-dependence of exchange-induced relaxation during modulated radio frequency pulses

The problem of the relaxation of identical spins 1/2 induced by chemical exchange between spins with different chemical shifts in the presence of time-dependent RF irradiation (in the first rotating frame) is considered for the fast exchange regime. The solution for the time evolution under the chemical exchange Hamiltonian in the tilted doubly rotating frame (TDRF) is presented. Detailed derivation is specified to the case of a two-site chemical exchange system with complete randomization between jumps of the exchanging spins. The derived theory can be applied to describe the modulation of the chemical exchange relaxation rate constants when using a train of adiabatic pulses, such as the hyperbolic secant pulse. Theory presented is valid for quantification of the exchange-induced time-dependent rotating frame longitudinal T1rho,ex and transverse T2rho,ex relaxations in the fast chemical exchange regime.     

Femtosecond synchronization of radio frequency signals with optical pulse trains

A synchronization scheme for extraction of low-jitter rf signals from optical pulse trains, which is robust against photodetector nonlinearities, is described. The scheme is based on a transfer of timing information into an intensity imbalance of the two output beams from a Sagnac loop. Sub-100-fs timing jitter between the extracted 2-GHz rf signal and the 100-MHz optical pulse train from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser is demonstrated.     

Fractal dimension of 40 MHz intravascular ultrasound radio frequency signals

Objective

Fully automatic tissue characterization in intravascular ultrasound systems is still a challenge for the researchers. The present work aims to evaluate the feasibility of using the Higuchi fractal dimension of intravascular ultrasound radio frequency signals as a feature for tissue characterization.

Methods

Fractal dimension images are generated based on the radio frequency signals obtained using mechanically rotating 40 MHz intravascular ultrasound catheter (Atlantis SR Plus, Boston Scientific, USA) and compared with the corresponding correlation images.

Conclusion

An inverse relation between the fractal dimension images and the correlation images was revealed indicating that the hard or slow moving tissues in the correlation image usually have low fractal dimension and vice-versa. Thus, the present study suggests that fractal dimension images may be used as a feature for intravascular ultrasound tissue characterization and present better resolution then the correlation images.     

Perception of amplitude and frequency modulated signals (mixed modulation)

This article discusses the detection of mixed modulation, i.e., simultaneous amplitude and frequency modulation (MM). The investigations have incorporated both a sine wave modulating signal and an irregular modulating signal, a very narrow noise band, of a specified center frequency. The results revealed that for a sinusoidal low-frequency modulating signal, amplitude and frequency changes that were separately subthreshold could be detected by listeners in mixed modulation. This indicates summation of sensations caused by simultaneous AM and FM modulation. This effect was not observed in the case of the irregular modulating signal. A hypothesis is advanced that the perception of modulated signals is governed by two mechanisms, viz., temporal and spectral. The operation of the two mechanisms depends mainly on the modulating frequency. The type of modulation does not play any significant role in this case.     

Investigation of linear and nonlinear frequency modulated excitation effects on tissue harmonic imaging

The generation of tissue harmonics is due to nonlinear nature of ultrasound wave propagation in biological tissues.The tissue harmonics for imaging i.e.tissue harmonic imaging (THI)uses higher frequency components for imaging in which the resolution improves significantly but signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and penetration depth remains low as compared to both fundamental and second harmonic imaging.The coded excitations have potential to improve the SNR which ultimately leads to improved penetration depth.In the present work,the linear frequency modulated(chirp/LFM)and nonlinear frequency modulated(NLFM)signals have been used to investigate the nonlinear ultrasound wave propagation and harmonic generation in biological tissues.The SNR has been found to be substantially improved for coded tissue harmonic imaging(CTHI)as well as for coded superharmonic imaging(CSHI).     

Analysis of new electrical signals in respect to quantification of radio frequency glow discharge emission spectrometry

Radio frequency glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (RF-GD-OES) is routinely used for the chemical analysis of solid samples. For quantification two independent electrical signals of the discharge are required. These are provided in real time by the glow discharge source with integrated voltage and current sensors. The available time-dependent voltage and current must be reduced. For this purpose a plasma equivalent circuit is used. It is shown that the cathode voltage and active cathode current describe the sputtering and excitation well. Measuring standard reference materials at constant cathode voltage and cathode current results in linear calibration curves.

Receiver structure and estimation of the modulation index for tamed frequency modulated (TFM) signals

Tamed frequency modulation (TFM) is a spectrally efficient constant amplitude continuous phase modulation (CPM) scheme which can be simply realized by using a frequency modulator (FM). In the implementation the modulation index of TFM is calibrated to have a nominal value of 0.5, but due to temperature variations it can drift causing time varying phase jitter. In this paper we present novel algorithms and performance results to measure and control the modulation index in a coherent receiver based on the joint reduced state sequence detector (RSSD) and per-survivor processing (PSP) carrier phase estimation. The modulation index estimator measures phase transitions in the receiver and derives estimates by comparing the result to the coding rule of the TFM signal. The estimator has acquisition and tracking ability, and the current estimate can be used to replace the nominal index value. Our simulation results show that the proposed coherent receiver with the novel modulation index estimator has less than 1 dB performance degradation compared to around 4.5 dB exploiting only the PSP carrier phase estimation.

We study the phase characteristics of echo signals during vertical acoustic sounding of a water medium with narrowly directed emission. We experimentally demonstrate the possibility of measuring the dependence of the phase of echo signals on the delay for a probe signal with linear frequency modulation. We substantiate the possibility of remote determination of sound velocity variations in water.

Measurement of electron spin lifetime and optical orientation efficiency in germanium using electrical detection of radio frequency modulated spin polarization

We propose and demonstrate a technique for electrical detection of polarized spins in semiconductors in zero applied magnetic fields. Spin polarization is generated by optical injection using circularly polarized light which is modulated rapidly using an electro-optic cell. The modulated spin polarization generates a weak time-varying magnetic field which is detected by a sensitive radio-frequency coil. Using a calibrated pickup coil and amplification electronics, clear signals were obtained for bulk GaAs and Ge samples from which an optical spin orientation efficiency of 4.8% could be determined for Ge at 1342 nm excitation wavelength. In the presence of a small external magnetic field, the signal decayed according to the Hanle effect, from which a spin lifetime of 4.6±1.0 ns for electrons in bulk Ge at 127 K was extracted.
