Functional NIRS equipment Spectratech OEG-17H
Spectratech OEG-17H is the Functional NIRS equipment, to measure the change in blood amount in each part in the not-so-deep in vivo part at the same time in a multichannel method utilizing the light absorption characteristics in the vicinity of near infrared to red light where the in vivo hemoglobin (Hb) changes by its oxygen bonding state.
The spread spectrum modulation system, which is one of the latest digital technologies, we originally developed is adopted as the light modulation/ demodulation technology which forms the basis of this equipment. It has achieved the further high performance, downsizing, and cost reduction compared with the former technologies.

Note 1:
The DS (Direct Sequence) method is one of the spread spectrum signal generation methods, called direct diffusion method as well, and modulates by using the random numbers called spread code sequence (PN sequence). In addition, there is FH method (Frequency Hopping) method.
Note 2:
TTL input means +3 to +5V digital signal input at high impedance.
