Abstract. This paper presents a highly efficient digital frequency calibration method for ultra-low-power oscillators in wireless communication systems. This calibration method locks the ultra-low-power oscillator's output frequency to the reference clock of the wireless transceiver during its send- and receive-state to achieve frequency stability over process variation and temperature drifts. The introduced calibration scheme offers high jitter immunity and short locking periods overcoming frequency calibration errors for typical ultra-low-power oscillator's by utilizing non-linear segmented feedback levels. In measurements the proposed calibration method improves the frequency stability of an ultra-low-power 32 kHz oscillator from 53 to 10 ppm ∘C−1 over a wide temperature range for temperature drifts of less than 1 ∘C s−1 with an estimated power consumption of 185 nW while coping with relocking periods of 7 ms.

In this paper, an offline bandwidth and frequency calibration method for an on–off LC oscillator-based ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) transmitter is presented. Implemented in 0.18-[Formula: see text]m CMOS, the offline calibration circuits consume very little power. This allows the transmitter to consume an ultra-low average power of 319[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]W over 3–5[Formula: see text]GHz at 2[Formula: see text]Mbps. The calibration is critical to ensure the FCC spectral mask compliance despite the process–voltage–temperature (PVT) variations. The transmitter can deliver a large differential output swing of 1.8–3[Formula: see text]V to a 100-[Formula: see text] load with minimal power efficiency of 7% at different data rates (2–30[Formula: see text]Mbps). It is suitable for WPAN application with localization and positioning capabilities.

A procedure was developed that enables measurement of rapid variations in calf blood flow during voluntary rhythmic contraction of the calf muscles in supine, sitting, and standing positions. During the exercise, maximum blood velocity is measured by Doppler ultrasound equipment in the popliteal artery. The Doppler signals are calibrated by plethysmography to enable calculation of blood flow during exercise in ml.100 ml-1.min-1. Knowledge of the cross-sectional area of the vessel and the angle of insonation is not required in this procedure. Evaluation of the calibration method with 10 healthy volunteers showed that for each subject a new calibration was necessary after a change in posture; the relationship between the blood flow and the maximum Doppler frequency averaged over one heart cycle was linear for each calibration.

A coherent infrared source tunable from 3.4 to 5.3 μm has been constructed by difference-frequency mixing of the second harmonic of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a pulsed dye laser using the new crystal KTiOAsO4 (KTA). A peak power of >50 kW and pulse energy of >250 μJ are measured at 4.4 μm. The results are compared with mixing in LiIO3. For a low-power Nd:YAG laser that produces 200 mJ of 532-nm radiation, the infrared power is similar for the two crystals. For high-power YAG lasers, calculation shows that commercial KTA crystals can produce over 10 mJ of IR power in the absence of absorption loss. The laser damage threshold of KTA at 532 nm is determined to be 300 ± 30 MW/cm2. Both the maximum IR power and the damage threshold are several times higher for KTA than for LiIO3. A simple frequency calibration method is described.

Ground control points (GCPs) are generally used to calibrate the installation between the camera and star sensor of a satellite in orbit and improve the geometric positioning accuracy of the satellite. However, the use of GCPs for high-frequency calibration is difficult, and it is particularly difficult to acquire accurate GCPs for the image of a nightlight satellite. In this study, we developed a camera-star sensor installation calibration method that eliminates the need for GCPs. In the proposed method, the camera and star sensor lenses are simultaneously pointed at the star, and the camera-star sensor installation is accurately calibrated by processing the star map obtained by the camera and star sensors. Reference data such as road network and Moon position data were used to verify the proposed method and evaluate its positioning accuracy. The results of the application of the method to the positioning of the Luojia 1-01 satellite indicated an accuracy within 800 m, which is comparable with that of the traditional method.

National Measurement Standards-National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (SNSU-BSN) as the National Metrology Institute of Indonesia has provided time and frequency calibration services for customers. Time and frequency equipment should be calibrated to traceable to the SI units. The calibration process can be carried out in a calibration laboratory. However, some measuring devices cannot be sent to the calibration laboratory. One of the devices that cannot be sent to the calibration laboratory is Cesium atomic clock. It must be calibrated to get the time difference with the local coordinated universal time (UTC), namely UTC(IDN). Therefore, to calibrate the Cesium atomic clock, a remote calibration method is needed. The remote system is also intended to conduct the calibration more effectively and efficiently. This method requires two Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver devices placed on the client-side and a calibration laboratory. For this reason, an algorithm for remote calibration has been developed. The algorithm has been tested to calibrate Cesium-3 of SNSU-BSN against UTC(IDN). The time difference between Cesium-3 and UTC(IDN) was 5.8 microseconds by using the algorithm. Based on the algorithm that has been built, it was concluded that the algorithm can be used to perform remote calibration for the related customer.

Limitations of optical devices for motion sensing such as small coverage, sensitivity to obstacles, and privacy exposure result in the need for improvement. As motion sensing based on radio frequency signals is not constrained by the limitation above, channel state information (CSI) from Wi-Fi devices could be used to improve sensing performance under the above circumstances. Unfortunately, CSI phase cannot be practically obtained due to the temporal phase rotation generated from Wi-Fi chips. Therefore, it would be rather complicated to realize motion analysis, especially the direction of motion. To mitigate the issue, this paper proposes a CSI calibration method that employs a back-to-back channel between Wi-Fi transceivers for phase rotation removal while preserving the original CSI phase. Through experiment, calibrated CSI showed a high similarity to the channel without phase rotation measured using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). Another experiment was conducted to observe Doppler frequency due to simple hand gestures using the Wavelet transform. A visual analysis revealed that the Doppler frequency of calibrated CSI could correctly capture the motion pattern. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first calibration method that maintains the original CSI and is applicable for in-depth motion analysis.
