The HBI is here estimated from driver’s chest surface movement using the received MMW echo. The MMW sensor is sensitive to small cardiac movement of 1mm or less because of the higher frequency and wider bandwidth available, thereby the movement would be estimated even while driving an automobile. The received MMW echo contains not only the chest surface movement, but also driver’s body movement, automotive body vibration and multipath fading. Therefore, the HBI would be extracted from the received chest surface movement data using a range-bin diversity, multi-resolution analysis, and Burg algorithm-based spectrum analysis. This paper discusses the effect of driver’s operating condition and sensor installation location on the HBI. Measurement was conducted while driving an automobile and the result is also compared with a PPG (photo-plethysmograph) sensor to verify the validity. As a result, it is found that the estimated HBI is in good agreement with the PPG.","PeriodicalId":113074,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125342781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the lower and upper channels are designed with third-order microstrip-to-microstrip vertical transitions using open-circuit-ended slotline stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs). Specifically, open-circuit-ended microstrip lines on the top and bottom layers for the lower channel are employed, whereas the upper channel is equipped with short-circuit-ended ones. Thus, owing to the slotline SIRs, two close-to-passband transmission zeros (TZs) leading to sharp-rejection capabilities for both BPF channels are attained. The theoretical foundations and RF operating principles of the devised diplexer are discussed in detail. For practical-validation purposes, a two-layered microstrip wideband diplexer prototype is designed, simulated, and tested. It features two three-pole high-selectivity filtering responses for the measured lower and upper channels that are centered at 1.52 GHz and 2.76 GHz, and exhibit 3-dB fractional bandwidths of 60% and 24.93%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":113074,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133759345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, the effect of subcarrier-wise filtering in FBMC inhibits the generation of OOB radiation, which also reduces its adjacent channel interference (ACI). However, it suffers from ISI and inter-carrier interference (ICI), caused by multipath fading. The primary aim of this study is to demonstrate the theoretical system capacity of FBMC and OFDM systems, consider their ACI and multipath fading in an asynchronous scenario, and ascertain the superiority of each approach based on the parameters of guard band and delay spread.","PeriodicalId":113074,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133582465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
