Abstract: Doppler correction of phase-encoded LIDAR includes a code indicating a sequence of phases for a phase-encoded signal, and determining a first Fourier transform of the signal. A laser optical signal is used as a reference and modulated based on the code to produce a transmitted phase-encoded optical signal. A returned optical signal is received in response. The returned optical signal is mixed with the reference. The mixed optical signals are detected to produce an electrical signal. A cross spectrum is determined between in-phase and quadrature components of the electrical signal. A Doppler shift is based on a peak in the cross spectrum. A device is operated based on the Doppler shift. Sometimes a second Fourier transform of the electrical signal and the Doppler frequency shift produce a corrected Fourier transform and then a cross correlation. A range is determined based on a peak in the cross correlation.

Abstract: Techniques are presented for performing in-memory matrix multiplication operations for binary input, binary weight valued convolution neural network (CNN) inferencing. The weights of a filter are stored in pairs of memory cells of a storage class memory device, such as a ReRAM or phase change memory based devices. To reduce current consumption, the binary valued filters are transformed into ternary valued filters by taking sums and differences of binary valued filter pairs. The zero valued weights of the transformed filters are stored as a pair of high resistance state memory cells, reducing current consumption during convolution. The results of the in-memory multiplications are pair-wise combined to compensate for the filter transformations. To compensate for zero valued weights, a zero weight register stores the number of zero weights along each bit line and is used to initialize counter values for accumulating the multiplication operations.
