Abstract: A gait evaluating system including a processor is provided. The processor identifies whether a gait type of the user belongs to a normal gait, a non-neuropathic gait or a neuropathic gait based on step feature values of a user and walking limb feature values of the user. In response to that the gait type of the user belongs to the non-neuropathic gait, the processor controls the display panel to display a first auxiliary information, a second auxiliary information, and a third auxiliary information. The first auxiliary information indicates a potential sarcopenia of the user. The second auxiliary information indicates a dietary guideline for muscle building and muscle strengthening. The third auxiliary information shows a motion instruction video for regaining or maintaining muscle strength of the user.

Abstract: The microwave transmitter of the present invention can perform two-terminal dynamic modulation with respect to the voltage supply terminal and the RF input terminal of a RF power amplifier. The microwave transmitter of the present invention comprises a first modulator and a second modulator. The first modulator uses the baseband digital delta-sigma modulation technique to process the envelope signal and outputs this signal to the voltage supply terminal of the RF power amplifier as a supply voltage. The second modulator uses the baseband digital pre-distortion technique to process the IQ-modulated carrier and outputs this signal to the RF input terminal of the RF power amplifier as a RF input signal. Thereby, the RF power amplifier can highly efficiently reconstruct the power-amplified RF modulated carrier without distortion at the RF output terminal.
