A notch filtering operation was accomplished using a TeO acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) with 16 simultaneous overlapping passbands in the shortwave infrared wavelength region. By switching off specific radio frequency signals applied to the AOTF, laser wavelengths corresponding to the inactive passbands are rejected, providing see-through capability with the remaining wavelengths. The rejection level was determined by leakage through the sidelobes of adjacent passbands, as was shown by theory and corresponding measurements. By switching off multiple passbands near the laser wavelength, the rejection level can be increased at the expense of reduced see-through capability. The AOTF imaging system used telecentric confocal optics that compensate for AOTF aberrations, which are severe at high sidelobe operation.

Microwave photonics, with its advanced high-frequency signal processing capabilities, is expected to play a crucial role in next-generation wireless communications and radar systems. The realization of highly integrated, high-performance, and multifunctional microwave photonic links will pave the way for its widespread deployment in practical applications, which is a significant challenge. Here, leveraging thin-film lithium niobate intensity modulator and programmable cascaded microring resonators, we demonstrate a tunable microwave photonic notch filter that simultaneously achieves high level of integration along with high dynamic range, high link gain, low noise figure, and ultra-high rejection ratio.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation and mobility of patients, but it introduces muscle fatigue which can impact the treatment process. This work presents a novel approach for monitoring FES-induced muscle fatigue and recovery by torque and surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. A predefined pattern of FES is applied on the rectus femoris muscle to induce isometric contraction, while torque and sEMG data are collected to assess muscle fatigue and subsequent recovery.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology offers a unique alternative for communicating over short distances due to its high capacity and low power consumption during transmission and reception. However, designing an antenna with appropriate characteristics for these systems is a significant problem since it must avoid interfering with current limited bandwidth technologies (e.g.

In low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receivers, image interference rejection is one of the core tasks to be accomplished. Conventional active polyphase filters (APPFs) are unable to have a sufficient image rejection ratio (IRR) at high operating frequencies due to the degradation of the IRR by the amplitude and phase imbalances produced by the secondary pole. The proposed solution to the above problem is a frequency-dependent image rejection enhancement technique based on secondary pole compensation.

Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses the use of phase change materials (PCM) to enhance the frequency response of a band stop filter designed with dumbbell u-slot defected ground structures (DGS) on a barium strontium titanate (BST) substrate.
- The research demonstrates that cascading DGS cells significantly improves performance, achieving lower insertion loss and greater band-rejection depth when compared to single-unit cells.
- The incorporation of a PCM layer enables dynamic tuning of the resonance frequency, with notable shifts achieved through both single and cascading DGS cells, validated by simulations and experiments.
