Tunable K/W-band OFDM integrated radar and communication system based on optoelectronic oscillator for intelligent transportation.

In this paper, we proposed a tunable K/W-band OFDM integrated radar and communication system based on Optoelectronic Oscillator (OEO) for intelligent transportation. All-optical signal processing including amplitude asymmetric filtering and quadratic phase manipulating is applied in OEO to achieve a high-frequency and tunable self-excited oscillation, which supports the K/W-band OFDM signal generation. Its product of maximum detection range and communication capacity is cB/4Δf (m·Gbaud), where c is light speed and Δf is subcarrier spacing of OFDM.

Reconfigurable radar signal generator based on phase-quantized photonic digital-to-analog conversion.

A novel, to the best of our knowledge, scheme for reconfigurable radar signal generation is proposed based on the principle of photonic phase-quantized digital-to-analog conversion. Multi-level digital phase modulation with different modulation depths is combined to convert multi-channel digital data to the phase of an optical carrier. Frequency-modulated or phase-modulated radar signals are generated by beating the phase-synthesized optical carrier with a coherent reference light.

Photonics-assisted joint radar and communication system based on an optoelectronic oscillator.

This paper reports a photonics-assisted joint radar and communication system for intelligent transportation based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). By manipulating the optical multi-dimensional processing module inserted in the OEO loop, two phase-orthogonal integrated signals are generated with low phase noise and high frequency, as the communication data loaded on the overall polarity of radar pulses. At the receiver, single-channel matched filtering and two-channel IQ data fusion are utilized to retrieve the communication data and the range profile, without any performance deterioration of either.

Hypoglycemic effects of polysaccharides from Gomphidiaceae rutilus fruiting bodies and their mechanisms.

Insulin resistance is the main cause of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and obesity. Our previous study found that mushroom polysaccharides improved insulin resistance in vitro, but the underlying mechanisms were still unknown. Thus, we investigate the hypoglycemic effects of polysaccharides from Gomphidiaceae rutilus fruiting bodies and their mechanisms.

Polysaccharide-Enriched Fraction from Fruiting Body Improves Insulin Resistance.

Despite the edible fungus possessing a variety of biological activities, its effects on diabetes are still unclear. Polysaccharides are the main bioactive ingredients. In order to destroy the cell wall to obtain more polysaccharides, we used NaOH solution to extract fruiting bodies.
