It consists of two multi-layer wideband magic-Ts, which are back-to-back connect-ed by means of a symmetrical-quasi-reflectionless complemen-tary-diplexer-based second-order narrow-band BPF, whose out-put ports are designed as balanced input/output terminals of the overall BPF device. By means of the conceived filter topology, an enlarged DM power-absorption spectral range and an enhanced DM passband flatness are attained. On the other hand, by loading two lossy multi-section microstrip lines at the ∑ ports of the used magic-Ton microstrip-to-slotline transitions, a broadband CM quasi-reflectionless response is featured for the devised BPF. These characteristics make the proposed configuration unique, as most of previously-reported balanced BPFs focus on only CM or DM RF -power absorption. For experimental-validation purposes, a two-layer balanced BPF prototype at 2 GHz with DM and CM two-port-quasi-reflectionless capabilities is built and tested.

More importantly, the improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise analysis (ICEEMDAN) and the fast independent component analysis (Fast-ICA) are jointly used to suppress respiratory harmonics so that the signal-to-noise ratio of heartbeat signal is increased; meanwhile, the estimation is also speeded up since the numbers of pseudo modes and iterations are reduced.

Firstly, a tri-bridge structured patterned Schottky diode is designed and fabricated. The small series resistance (1.3 $Omega)$ and low turn-on voltage (0.49V) are advantageous for reducing power losses, while the high breakdown voltage (50 V) is designed to cope with high-power scenarios. Subsequently, a high-efficiency and wide-band single-series rectifier operating at 5.8 GHz is proposed. The load resistance is intentionally optimized to 100 $Omega$ to enhance the current driving capability of the rectifier. Measurements show that a maximum conversion efficiency of 72.4% is achieved at an input power of 33.4dBm, resulting in a DC voltage of 12.59V (current of 125.9mA).
