摘要
本文提出了一个新颖的概念,以便对连续波(CW)微波信号进行基于尖峰的编码。它依赖于使用所谓的莫里斯-勒卡人工神经元(ML AN)。实验证明,当通过转导将连续波微波信号应用于 ML AN 时,会出现尖峰编码(尖峰频率较低)。结果表明(i) 输出尖峰频率随 CW 微波电压信号幅度的变化而变化,(ii) 在射频频率高达 16 GHz 时可观察到微波信号的尖峰编码。由于使用了 ML AN 来执行微波信号编码,因此实现了出色的超低功耗(小于 100 pW)。
An ultra low power spiking neural encoder of microwave signals
In this paper, an original concept is presented in order to perform the spike-based encoding of a Continuous Wave (CW) microwave signal. It relies upon the use of the so-called Morris-Lecar Artificial Neuron (ML AN). It is demonstrated that, when applying the CW microwave signal to the ML AN through a transconductance, spike encoding (with low spike frequency) occurs. It is shown that: (i) the output spike frequency varies as function of the CW microwave voltage signal magnitude, (ii) spike encoding of the microwave signal is observed up to a RF frequency as high as 16 GHz. Thanks to the use of the ML AN to perform this microwave signal encoding, an outstanding ultra low power consumption – less than 100 pW – is achieved.
