Cellonics Tech

This document introduces cellonics technology, which is a modulation and demodulation technique inspired by biological cell communication. It consists of three main parts: 1. Cellonics circuits accept slow analog input waves and produce fast pulse output, encoding digital data. The circuit uses an op-amp with nonlinear transfer characteristics to generate pulses from a triangular wave. 2. A cellonics receiver demodulates signals using pulse counting algorithms. Experiments showed cellonics modulation can achieve similar bit error performance as optimal modulation schemes. 3. Cellonics offers advantages like simplicity, low power, and cost. It reduces components in devices and communication systems. Applications demonstrated include audio transmission and narrowband wireless communication.

INTRODUCTION
It

is based on the way biological cells


communicate with each other and
nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS).

Benefits

are incredible speed,


simplicity, and robustness.

The

cellonics technology came after studying


biological cell behavior.

Study

shows that human cells respond to


stimuli and generate waveforms that consist
of continuous train of pulses separated by
periods of silence.

It

consume very little power and it reduces the


number of shelf components in portable devices
while dramatically decreasing the power used,
leading to a lower cost for the entire device.

In

current technology , the ASCII uses a


combination of ones and zeros to display a single
letter of the alphabet. The data is sent over radio
frequency cycle to its destination where it is then
decoded.

PRINCIPLE OF CELLONICS
TECHNOLOGY
Cellonics

stands for electronic cells.

The

cellonics element accept an slow analog input


waveform and in return produces predictable fast pulse
output thus encoding digital information and sending it
over communication channel.

It

has the ability to encode, transmit and decode digital


information over a variety of physical channels, be cables
or wirelessly through the air.

The

cellonics technology is a fundamental modulation and


demodulation technique. The Cellonics receivers generate
pulses from the received analog signal and perform
demodulation based on pulse counting and related algorithms.
1. The study of biological cell behaviour is only an inspiration
to the invention of Cellonics circuits. The Cellonics technology
is not related to any neural network communications or
neurophomic electronics.
2. Slow waveforms: Analog waveforms that vary slowly with
time. These waveforms can be in any arbitrary shape.
3. Fast waveforms/fast pulse trains: Waveform in the shape
of pulses that varies rapidly with time.

CELLONICS CIRCUITS

S curve transfer
characteristics.

Transfer

characteristic consists of three


different regions.
The two lines at the top and bottom have
positive slope.
1/RF and they represent the regions in
which the Op-Amp is operating in the
saturated (nonlinear) mode.
The middle segment has a negative
slope(Op-Amp operate linearly).

dVs/dt

= (V) depending on the slope of the


triangular input waveform.

slope

is positive, the Op-Amp is stableoutputs a constant saturation voltage.


When slope is negative- the Op-Amp is
unstable- the output is oscillating.
By

controlling the duration of the negative


slope, he number of pulses to be produced at
the output of the Op-Amp can be controlled.

The transfer function of a tunnel diode exhibits the N- curve. By


connecting an inductor and a tunnel diode in series, we can produce pulses
that are separated by periods of silence.

Communication System

In

this system, a CD-ROM player is used as a


convenient signal source to provide the required bit
stream. The digital data is modulated using a pulse
width modulation scheme.
These modulated data are then passed through a700ft telephone wire line. At the receiver, the data is
demodulated using the N-shaped Cellonics circuit,
which uses only two elements - an inductor in series
with a tunnel diode.
To recover the digital information, the decision
device simply counts the pulses to determine if it is a
logic 1 or 0. The recovered data is then output to
an audio player for real .

tapped at a rate of 11.4 Mbps. This data
stream is fed into a UWB pulse generator
and transmitted wirelessly.
At the receiver end, the signal is detected
and then fed to a Cellonics receiver to
decode and the original music data is
recovered/sent to an audio player for realtime playback .

Cellonics Advantages

New Life to Communication Devices

Carrier-rate Decoding (i.e. extremely fast decoding


rate), multilevel capability (spectral efficiency), simple
circuitry, low power consumption and low cost.

Savings on Chip/ PCB Real Estate Because of its


simplicity, a receiver implemented with Cellonics can
save as much as 4 times the chip real estate.

Savings on Power

receiver consumed 3 times less power. This is possible because a


Cellonics circuit is built with a few discrete components that are
mostly passive and hence consume very little or negligible power.

savings in Implementation Time


In a receiver, the Cellonics circuit replaces many traditional
subsystems such as the amplifier, mixer, PLL, oscillator, filter, crystal
quartz, etc. that are necessary in a common Super heterodyne and
Super homodyne design.

Build or Rejuvenate your Products with Cellonics


simplicity, low cost, low power consumption of
Cellonics makes it ideal for use in your next
generation of feature-rich products that need to
be small in size and long on power reserve.

Comparison with various


modulation schemes

CONCLUSION
The

Cellonics communication method is

one inspired by how biological cells signal.


With

the Cellonics method, noise-generating


and power-consuming systems such as
voltage-controlled oscillators, PLLs, mixers,
power amplifiers, etc., are eliminated.
