Abstract

Heart rate measurement based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is commonly performed through traditional observation techniques, which can be less effective especially when restricted to short-range. Such limitations may hinder the detection of subtle variations in cardiac rhythm, potentially resulting in the omission of critical time-dependent physiological information. To overcome this challenge, a computational approach is introduced to enhance both the accuracy and consistency of heart rate estimation. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is applied to convert ECG signals from the time domain to the frequency domain, allowing for accurate identification of dominant spectral components associated with cardiac activity. This transformation also enables the evaluation of long-range, which is often impractical to analyze using time-domain methods alone. A dataset consisting of ten ECG signal recordings from subjects with normal heart function was utilized. Waveform images were digitized using PlotDigitizer software and further processed in MATLAB through spectral transformation. The resulting frequency components were accurately identified, with a mean absolute error of less than 0.2% when compared to reference values. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of a frequency-based analytical approach in improving measurement precision and promoting efficiency in digital cardiac monitoring. The findings contribute to the development of advanced biomedical signal processing techniques.

Abstract

Optical fiber is an advanced transmission medium composed of glass fibers, offering significantly higher data transfer speeds compared to conventional electrical cables. This study aims to analyze power loss resulting from bending in single-mode optical fibers (SMF) to assess the impact on optical signal quality. Five distinct SMF types were simulated using OptiFiber software at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, with bending radii varying from 20 – 46 mm in increments of 2 mm. The results demonstrate that power attenuation in optical fibers is affected by the wavelength of operation and bend radius. At a wavelength of 1310 nm, the highest material loss was recorded in SMF-28 at 0.0125 dB/km, whereas at 1550 nm, SMF-28 exhibited the highest material loss of 31.963 dB/km. Moreover, an increase in bending radius results in a reduction of bending losses, while a decrease in bending radius leads to a significant increase in losses. These insights contribute to the development of improved fiber optic cable designs by advocating the use of enhanced protective shielding to mitigate bending-induced signal degradation.

Abstract

This study presents the design and full-wave simulation of a diamond-shaped metamaterial absorber configured in a 4×4 array for applications in radar cross section reduction (RCSR). The structure was modeled on an FR-4 substrate with a copper patch and metallic ground plane to achieve high absorption across the ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency range of 0.09 – 10 GHz. Simulations were conducted using CST Studio Suite. Key radar-related performance parameters including reflection (S11), transmission (S21), and absorption were analyzed. Results indicate that the absorber achieves extremely low reflection values (return loss up to -85 dB), near-zero transmission due to the ground plane, and absorption exceeding 80% in targeted radar bands. These findings demonstrate the high potential of diamond-shaped metamaterial absorbers for stealth applications and electromagnetic wave attenuation in modern radar systems.

Abstract

Optical fiber is increasingly popular and appreciated as a modern sensor technology in various sectors, one of which is for medical functions. This study was conducted to detect human diaphragmatic breathing flow using theoretical and experimental approaches. Initially, the lung model was formed using the finite element method and the Navier-Stokes equation by applying the principles of momentum and continuity. Furthermore, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and single mode fiber (SMF) were experimentally designed with sinusoidal patterned macro-scale bending as a stretch sensor in a breathing belt applied to the diaphragm. The simulation model shows the airflow velocity increases up to 4 m/s when it flows into smaller branches. While the experimental results show that the largest power loss occurs at a buffer diameter of 0.8 cm. The power loss detected in SMF is a maximum of -0.18 dBm during inhalation and a minimum of -0.28 dBm during expiration. However, FBG bending is superior with high sensitivity.
