Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI) method is recently proposed as a non-invasive hybrid breast imaging technique for tumor detection. In this method, local harmonic motion is generated in the tissue using a focused ultrasound probe. A narrow-band microwave signal is transmitted to the tissue. The Doppler component of the scattered signal, which depends on the dielectric and elastic properties of the vibrating region, is sensed [1]. Since the measurements obtained from HMMDI is directly related with phase noise, there are some studies to reduce phase noise of RF transmitting signal. In this work having a pure signal with ultra-low phase noise (-140dBc/Hz@1MHz) is one of the main goals to achieve the desired results at the proceeding steps. In addition the signal should be in (2-6GHz) frequency ranges. Therefore, modelling a low phase noise PLL operating in high frequency ranges with the help of measurements and microwave simulation tool (ADS) planned. According to the simulation results the proposed VCO provided a Phase Noise of about -137.64dBc/Hz @1MHz that is very acceptable in comparison to other provided complex VCO structures [2-5]. In addition generate 2.76 GH oscillating frequency.

Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI) method is recently proposed as a non-invasive hybrid breast imaging technique for tumor detection. The acquired data depend on acoustic, elastic and electromagnetic properties of the tissue. The potential of the method is analyzed with simulation studies and phantom experiments. In this paper, the results of these studies are summarized. It is shown that HMMDI method has a potential to detect malignancies inside fibro-glandular tissue.

An Improved Receiver for Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging
Soydan, Damla Alptekin; Irgin, Umit; Top, Can Baris; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2020-03-01)
© 2020 EurAAP.Harmonic motion microwave Doppler imaging is a novel imaging modality that combines focused ultrasound and radar techniques to obtain data based on mechanical and electrical properties of the tissue. In previous experimental studies, the Doppler component of the scattered signal is sensed and used to create 2D images of a tumor inside a homogeneous fat phantom. Due to the drawbacks of the receiver configuration, scanning time was high, the signal-to-noise ratio was low, and the multi-frequency...
Low frequency flickering of TT Arietis: Hard and soft X-ray emission region
Baykal, Altan (1997-01-01)
Using archival ASCA observations of TT Arietis, X-ray energy spectra and power spectra of the intensity time series are presented for the first time. The energy spectra are well-fitted by a two continuum plasma emission model with temperatures similar to 1 keV and similar to 10 keV. A coherent feature at similar to 0.643 mHz appeared in the power spectra during the observation.
Low frequency magnetic resonance conductivity imaging by means of oscillating gradient fields
Eroğlu, Hasan Hüseyin; Sadighi, Mehdi; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (null; 2018-06-16)
Recently, low frequency (LF) magnetic resonance electrical conductivity imaging by means of oscillating gradient fields is reported to be infeasible. In thesestudies, LF phase measurements are modeled with radio frequency (RF) leakage due to geometric shifts in MR images. Although RF leakage is related withconductivity, we have not come across a conductivity image reconstructed using this model. In this study, LF conductivity imaging is evaluated for an MRIpulse sequence including multiple gradient pulses. ...
