In recent era surveillance systems play a vital role in our daily life. The goal of surveillance systems is to collect the desired information about concerned targets in the sensing environment. Traditional surveillance systems are limited by a predefined monitoring pattern. It can render a reduced system reliability. Moreover, the system is always functional regardless of the target presence. It results in an increased and useless system activity, resources utilization and power consumption. In this context an event driven human surveillance system is devised. It overcomes these drawbacks up to a certain extent by smartly combining a sensors assembly along with a camera, embedded processor and classifiers. Except the low power object detector, detection of concerned object in the surveillance zone, the remaining system is kept in sleep mode. On the detection of an event the system modules like embedded processor, target location detectors, camera, etc. are activated. The event occurrence can also activate the lightning system depending on the sensing environment illumination condition. The target location, within the field of view, is provided by the location detectors. This information is employed to pilot the actuator in order to update the camera positioning. The captured images are analysed by the human detector module. Further actions like image storage, video recording, etc. are taken depending on the human detector output. The proposed system functionality is verified with an experimental setup. Results demonstrate the devised system self-organisation feature. It results into an improved performance of the proposed system, in terms of system resources utilization, reliability and power consumption compared to the counter traditional ones.

The paper presents the design of a 65nm CMOS low-power transmitter (Tx) as subsystem of an IoT transceiver (TRx). The Tx has no power amplifier (PA), Phase-locked loop (PLL) or external crystal. An on-chip resonator provides frequency accuracy. The Tx employs a novel, low-voltage modified Colpitts oscillator working at 60 GHz and a frequency doubler to generate On-Off-Keying (OOK) data on a 120 GHz carrier. For low power, the frequency doubler reuses VCO's current to deliver a −20dBm signal in 50 Q load. The 120 GHz antenna was integrated on chip.

This paper proposes a novel method for recovering missing radio frequency identification (RFID) tag identifiers from a group, based on progressive edge-growth (PEG) methods. Extended grouping of RFID tags allows the recovery of missing tag identifiers without external systems such as databases. Motivated by the properties of Tanner graphs, or equivalently, parity check matrices constructed using PEG methods, extended grouping via the PEG method is proposed. In addition, this paper examines the performance and complexity of Gaussian elimination (GE) and iterative (IT) decoding algorithms. Simulation results are presented, showing that the proposed method can make significant missing recovery enhancements compared to other extended grouping methods.

This paper presents a mathematical modelling of Photovoltaic system incorporating a maximum power point tracking controller (MPPT). The MPPTs controller are used to insure a high PV system performance In order to perform this goal a special interest was focused on the well-known P&O algorithm. This algorithm will be tested in real time under variation in the irradiation and load disturbance. A work dealing with MPPT controller, a DC/DC Boost converter feeding a resistive load is achieved. Significant extracted results are given to prove the validity of the proposed overall PV system control scheme.

A wearable textile antenna for search and rescue application is presented in this work. It is designed based on the dipole topology to operate at 406 MHz for the Cospas-Sarsat application and fabricated fully using textile materials. The meanderline miniaturization technique is chosen to compact the proposed dipole due to its expected large size and wavelength at 406 MHz. The antenna evaluated in planar and bent forms indicated satisfactory performance when evaluated in terms of reflection coefficients, gain and radiation patterns.

The main purpose of this study is to increase the performance of a speech recognition system under noisy environments. In this study Voice Activity Detection (VAD) methods is used for estimating the noise model, and Parallel Model Compensation (PMC) is used for estimating the noisy speech model using the clean speech model and noise model which is estimated using a VAD method. Performances of the baseline and four well known VAD methods have been compared for noisy speech recognition. In addition to this, a new VAD method is proposed to estimate parameters of the noise model. The proposed VAD method's speech recognition performance is better than the most of the well-known VAD methods despite less computational requirement of the proposed VAD method compared to these well-known VAD methods.

Metamaterial are artificially made electromagnetic materials consisting of periodically arranged metallic elements which are less than wavelength of incident wave in size. They can exhibit a strong localization and enhancement of fields, which may provide a tool to significantly enhance the sensitivity and resolution of sensors. Slotted Ring Resonator (SRR) is one type of such metamaterial. In this paper we will present the design of a single port double SRR concentric rings. The concept of structure resonance will be applied to the design of the sensor to be used in bio-sensor application. The design is verified using High frequency simulation software HFSS, and different five different biological material samples are tested and placed in the SRR gab. It was observed that a shift in the resonance frequency takes place as different materials are place in the SRR gab.

This paper addresses energy localization for hyperthermia treatment, considering multichannel wideband system. A novel approach is developed based on a transmission line model to investigate the performance of the system and optimize excitation signals to achieve required energy focusing. Phase shift of excitation subcarriers corresponding to each of the system channels are estimated such that constructive interference of the electromagnetic energy is achieved at the tumor region and destructive interference is obtained at vital tissue locations. E-Field mapping is used and results reveal that the proposed model has the potential to optimize the excitation waveform shaping to achieve energy localization with adequate spatial resolution.

This paper presents a lightweight and simple structure of slotted circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna using conductive textile. ShieldIt Super is used as a conductive textile and felt is used as a substrate of the antenna. The prototype is designed with a total dimension of 36 mm × 36 mm and spaced by a 3 mm thick felt fabric for Body-centric Wireless Communication (BCWC) operating in the 5.2 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) Hyper Local Area Network (LAN) band. A parametric study has been carried out in order to investigate the antenna basic characteristics, thereby enhancing the antenna performance. The proposed antenna is benchmarked against the without slot circularly polarized textile patch antenna. The measured results show that the slotted CP patch textile antenna produces better performance compared to the without the slot CP patch textile in terms of bandwidth with an acceptable 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth and gain.
