 “NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION”
the saying goes.. Lets now see what this current


invention of CELLONICS was for.


INTRODUCTION
Cellonics allow modem speeds 1,000 times
faster than our present modems.
It is based on the way biological cells
communicate with each other and
nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS).
Benefits are incredible speed, simplicity,
and robustness.

INTRODUCTION

The ASCII uses a combination of ones and
zeros to display a single letter of the
alphabet. The data is then sent over radio
frequency cycle to its destination where it
is then decoded.
Human cells respond to stimuli and
generate waveforms that consist of a
continuous line of pulses separated by
periods of silence. The Cellonics
technology uses these pulse signals and
apply them to the communications
INTRODUCTION
Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS) are the
mathematical formulations required to
simulate the cell responses.
It uses portable devices, and provide these
devices with faster, better data for longer
periods of time.
It consumes very little power.

PRINCIPLE OF

TECHNOLOGY

Cellonics - Electronic cells.
It has the ability to encode, transmit and
decode digital information over a
variety of physical channels.
Wired and wireless communications are
possible.

The Cellonics technology is a fundamental
modulation and demodulation technique.
The Cellonics receivers generate pulses
from the received analog signal and
performs demodulation based on pulse
counting and related algorithms.
The study of biological cell behavior is only
an inspiration to the invention of
Cellonics circuits. The Cellonics technology
is not related to any neural network
communications or neurophomic
electronics.
Slow waveforms: Analogue waveforms
that vary slowly with time. These
waveforms can be in any arbitrary shape.
Fast waveforms/fast pulse trains:
Waveform in the shape of pulses that

S-curve transfer
characteristics
The transfer characteristic consists of three
different regions.
The two lines at the top and bottom have
positive slope ‘1/RF’.
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).

The rate of change of signal voltage ‘Vs’ is
equal to ‘V0’ which is dependent upon the
slope of the input triangular waveform.
When the slope is positive, the Op-Amp is
stable and outputs a constant saturation
voltage.
When slope is negative, the Op-Amp is
unstable and the output would be
oscillating.
By controlling the duration of the negative
slope, the number of pulses to be
produced at the output of the Op-Amp can
be controlled.
N-curve transfer
characteristics
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.
That would mimic the behavior of cells.
PERFORMANCE OF
CELLONICS RECEIVER :
A) BER Performance in
a Narrowband
Communication
System
The performance of the Cellonics
modulation is able to match the
theoretical optimal BPSK modulation
scheme .
Cellonics receiver will have less
implementation losses

B) BER Performance in
an Ultra Wideband

UWB is a new radio system that occupies
an ultra wide bandwidth and it uses very
short impulses of radio energy.
It will cause little interference to the
existing spectrum users.

Narrowband
Communication
System
Transmitter and receiver comprise of
three modules:


 1. The PC/DSP module :

 This module provides a high-speed data
transmission interface
with the transmit/receive PC .
2. The Base band transceiver module:

 The transceiver converts these data from

the DSP into FSK-like waveforms.
3. The RF transmit/receive module:

 This part of the circuitry down converts the

received signal using an AM envelope
detector.

Ultra Wideband Video
System
Transmits real-time video images at a data
rate of 12Mbps wirelessly to a video
monitor.
A simple web camera is used as the video
capture source. The digital video
information is fed into a pulse position
modulation processing board (a Field
Programmable Gate Array or FPGA board)
via a USB connection before being
frequency translated to a higher frequency
band at a transmitter for sending over the
air. The airborne signals are then detected
by a UWB receiver and pulse position
demodulated back into digital video
information for display at a video monitor.
In both instances, an ultra simple Cellonics
Transmitter and a simple Cellonics receiver

CONCUSION
The Cellonics communication method is one inspired by
how biological cells signal. It is a fresh and novel look
at how digital signals may be conveyed. In this digital
day and age, it is timely; current digital
communication designs are mostly derived from old
analog signal methods. With the Cellonics method,
much of the sub-systems in a traditional
communication system are not required.
Noise-generating and power-consuming systems such as
voltage-controlled oscillators, PLLs, mixers, power
amplifiers, etc., are eliminated. To a communications
engineer, this is unheard off. One just doesn’t build a
communication device without an oscillator, mixer,
or….
Such is the revolutionary impact of Cellonics. Engineers
will have to reform their thinking- that such a simple
