A wireless earphone with radar capabilities includes a first earphone having a first detection unit and a container. When the first earphone is placed inside the container, a first detection wave generated by the first detection unit passes through the container. The first detection wave is reflected from a human body as a first reflected wave, and when the first detection unit receives the first reflected wave through the container, the first detection unit generates a first detection result data and sends the first detection result data to an external device. The container containing the first earphone allows a user to hold the container with the first earphone within, and since the first earphone continues to detect movements outside of the container, the container is transformed into a multifunctional controller or detector for adapting to new application modes initiated by the external device.

A radar signal processing system with a self-interference cancelling function includes an analog front end (AFE) processor, an analog to digital converter (ADC), an adaptive interference canceller (AIC), and a digital to analog converter (DAC). The AFE processor receives an original input signal and generates an analog input signal. The ADC converts the analog input signal to a digital input signal. The AIC generates a digital interference signal digital interference signal by performing an adaptive interference cancellation process according to the digital input signal. The DAC converts the digital interference signal to an analog interference signal. Finally, the analog interference signal is fed back to the AFE and cancelled from the original input signal in the AFE processor while performing the front end process, reducing the interference of the static interference from the leaking of a close-by transmitter during the front end process.

A performing device of an impulse-like gesture recognition system executes an impulse-like gesture recognition method. A performing procedure of the impulse-like gesture recognition method includes steps of: receiving a sensing signal from a sensing unit; determining a prediction with at least one impulse-like label according to the sensing frames by a deep learning-based model; and classifying at least one gesture event according to the prediction. The gesture event is classified to determine the motion of the user. Since the at least one impulse-like label is used to label at least one detection score of the deep learning-based model, the detection score is non-decreasing, reaction time of the at least one gesture event for an incoming gesture is fast, rapid consecutive gestures are easily decomposed, and an expensive post-processing is not needed.

A generic gesture detecting method executed by a generic gesture detecting device includes steps of: receiving a current sensing signal from a sensing unit; generating a current image according to the current sensing signal; determining whether the current image is similar with a stored image stored in a memory unit; when the current image is similar with the stored image, detecting the current image and the stored image to be a gesture signal; when the current image is different from the stored image, storing the current image into the memory unit, and returning to the step of receiving a current sensing signal. Since the generic gesture detecting device can automatically detect the gesture signal, the user may not need to enable a detecting time period before implementing a command motion. Therefore, the user can make the command motion without enabling the detecting time period, and the convenience can be increased.

An antenna packaging structure includes a top substrate, an antenna chip, a bottom substrate, and a plurality of antenna transmission lines. The top substrate includes an antenna. The bottom substrate includes a circuit. The antenna chip is mounted on the bottom substrate, and is electrically connected to the antenna of the top substrate through the circuit of the bottom substrate and the antenna transmission lines. Since the antenna chip is directly electrically connected to a processor through the circuit, a plurality of communication lines do not need to be electrically connected between the antenna and the circuit. Further, since the antenna transmission lines just need to transmit a simple antenna signal between the antenna and the antenna chip, an amount of the antenna transmission lines is smaller than an amount of communication lines. Moreover, the total size of the antenna packaging structure is reduced.

An anti-EMI antenna includes a first substrate layer, a grounding layer, a first circuit layer, a second substrate layer, a second circuit layer, a third substrate layer, a third circuit layer, a fourth substrate layer, and a fourth circuit layer. The grounding layer is mounted on a bottom surface of the first substrate layer, and includes a grounding circuit. The grounding circuit fully covers the bottom surface of the first substrate layer. Since the grounding circuit fully covers the bottom surface of the first substrate layer, the antenna radiation circuit can prevent the EMI from a bottom side of the anti-EMI antenna. Therefore, electromagnetic waves can be mostly isolated to prevent noise caused by the EMI.

A low voltage inverter-based amplifier includes a first inverter-based amplification module, a second inverter-based amplification module, an inverter-based feedforward module, and an inverter-based common mode detector. The first inverter-based amplification module receives an input signal. The second inverter-based amplification module receives the input signal through the inverter-based feedforward module, and receives a first output signal from the first inverter-based amplification module. The inverter-based common mode detector receives an amplified signal from the second inverter-based amplification module, and outputs a feedback signal to the second inverter-based amplification module. Since the first and the second inverter-based amplification modules are both inverter-based, the supply voltage of the low voltage inverter-based amplifier is provided to supply one PMOS and one NMOS for normal operation. Therefore, a number of cascade MOSs of the low voltage inverter-based amplifier is two, and the low voltage inverter-based amplifier can be normally operated under the low supply voltage.

A divider-less phase locked loop (PLL) includes a phase frequency detector (PFD), a charge pump (CP), a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a delay unit, and a clock gating unit. The PFD is electrically connected to the VCO through the CP, and the CP outputs a voltage control signal to the VCO. The VCO generates an output signal. The delay unit receives and delays a reference signal to generate a delay signal. The clock gating unit samples the output signal according to the delay signal. Since the clock gating unit samples the output signal according to the delay signal, the divider-less PLL does not need to include a divider to divide a frequency of the output signal. Therefore, power consumption of the divider-less PLL can be reduced.
