论文摘要
具有分子通信（MC）功能的组件的设计可以带来机会，从而在个人医疗保健到现代行业的领域中实现一些新兴应用。在本文中，我们提出了具有四倍体浓度移位键合（QCSK）调制和解调功能的微流体发射器和接收器的设计。为此，我们首先介绍一个和门设计，然后将其应用于QCSK发射器和接收器设计。 QCSK发射器能够将两个输入信号调节为四个不同的浓度水平，QCSK接收器可以将接收的信号解调为两个输出。更重要的是，我们还建立了一个数学框架，以理论上表征我们提出的微流体电路。基于此，我们首先得出了提出的和门设计的输出浓度分布，并提供了有关设计参数选择的见解，以确保展示所需的行为。我们进一步得出了QCSK发射器和接收器的输出浓度分布。在Comsol多物理学中获得的仿真结果不仅显示了所有提出的微流体电路的所需行为，而且还证明了所提出的数学框架的准确性。
The design of components with molecular communication (MC) functionalities can bring an opportunity to enable some emerging applications in fields from personal healthcare to modern industry. In this paper, we propose the designs of the microfluidic transmitter and receiver with quadruple concentration shift keying (QCSK) modulation and demodulation functionalities. To do so, we first present an AND gate design, and then apply it to the QCSK transmitter and receiver design. The QCSK transmitter is capable of modulating two input signals to four different concentration levels, and the QCSK receiver can demodulate a received signal to two outputs. More importantly, we also establish a mathematical framework to theoretically characterize our proposed microfluidic circuits. Based on this, we first derive the output concentration distribution of our proposed AND gate design, and provide the insight into the selection of design parameters to ensure an exhibition of desired behaviour. We further derive the output concentration distributions of the QCSK transmitter and receiver. Simulation results obtained in COMSOL Multiphysics not only show the desired behaviour of all the proposed microfluidic circuits, but also demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed mathematical framework.
