Cover Story: An instrumentation amplifier (IA) capable of sensing both voltage and current at the same time is introduced for cardiovascular health monitoring applications. Cardiovascular health monitoring requires continuous monitoring using a wearable battery-operated device in a mobile environment in daily life. Therefore, low-power operation is essential for these monitoring devices, and it is best if multiple bio-signals can be measured with a single measuring circuit. Using the proposed single IA, electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) can be monitored in a form of separated ECG and PPG signals or in a merged ECG/PPG signal, which has both features of ECG and PPG peaks.

An Emergency Alert Broadcast Based on the Convergence of 5G and ATSC 3.0

  • Yoon-Kwan Byun,
  • Sekchin Chang and
  • Seong Jong Choi

We propose a novel emergency alert broadcast mechanism for mobile phone users, which is based on the convergence of 5G and ATSC 3.0. Cellular networks including 5G adopt a broadcast technique for emergency alert. This technique just delivers a text-b...
