The combined laser model based on transmission line laser mode (TLLM) is extended to investigate intensity modulation (IM) response and frequency modulation (FM) response of SGDBR lasers in this paper. While carrier-depended refraction index, spontaneous emission noise and their coupling are included in the consequent dynamic frequency shift and intensity fluctuation can reflect dynamics of SGD...

A wide-spread test of the PLL FM demodulator under Gaussian modulation is simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Unified noise-free and noise performance analyses of the PLL FM demodulator are presented. Substantial reduction of the modulation limit by the input bandpass filter is reported in the region of the input bandwidth of practical interest. Bessel bandpass filters of order greater than...

SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) estimation is a very important parameter for channel estimation of the communication system. In this paper, some SNR estimation methods of digital modulation system are applied and improved in FM modulation system. Then we summarize several SNR estimation methods (EHM (Envelope High order Moment method), SE (Spectrum Estimation method), FD (Frequency Domain method), ...

Recognizing emotion is an evolutionary imperative. An early stage of auditory scene analysis involves the perceptual grouping of acoustic features, which can be based on both temporal coincidence and spectral features such as perceived pitch. Perceived pitch, or fundamental frequency (F(0)), is an especially salient cue for differentiating affective intent through speech intonation (prosody). W...

Many natural sounds such as speech contain concurrent amplitude and frequency modulation (AM and FM), with the FM components often in the form of directional frequency sweeps or glides. Most studies of modulation coding, however, have employed one modulation type in stationary carriers, and in cases where mixed-modulation sounds have been used, the FM component has typically been confined to an...

BACKGROUND Compelling evidence has demonstrated that impaired central pain modulation contributes to persistent pain in patients with chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD) and fibromyalgia (FM). However, there is limited research concerning the influence of stress and relaxation on central pain modulation in patients with chronic WAD and FM. OBJECTIVES The present study aims to investig...

Event-related changes of brain electrical rhythms are typically analysed as amplitude modulations of local field potential (LFP) oscillations, like radio amplitude modulation broadcasting. In telecommunications, frequency modulation (FM) is less susceptible to interference than amplitude modulation (AM) and is therefore preferred for high-fidelity transmissions. Here we hypothesized that LFP rh...

Species-specific vocalizations in mice have frequency-modulated (FM) components slower than the lower limit of FM direction selectivity in the core region of the mouse auditory cortex. To identify cortical areas selective to slow frequency modulation, we investigated tonal responses in the mouse auditory cortex using transcranial flavoprotein fluorescence imaging. For differentiating responses ...

A unified framework is developed in which to compare several techniques for synthesizing sounds with desired spectra, using AM, FM, waveshaping, and pulse width modulation.
