This paper proposes a simple positioning method for small devices based on direct sequence spread spectrum signal. The proposed scheme measures the sign of inner product between reference signal from a loop antenna and the delayed signal from the double loop antenna. Thus, it can identify the region where the receiver exists based on the inner product. Numerical results show that the area where the inner product becomes negative or positive is symmetric with respect to the position of the transmitter and the inner product can be useful to detect the region where the receiver belongs.

This paper presents a scheme of modeling radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PAs) for 3-port applications by including modeling of bias port of PA along with its input and output ports. This scheme uses polynomials with infinite impulse response (IIR) bases functions for modeling non-linear behavior of PA as well as its short and long term memory effects. Power amplifiers designed for third generation (WCDMA) wireless system are investigated for the validation of modeling scheme. Excellent results are obtained, where the error between model prediction and measurements is better than 43 dBc for a wide range of bias voltages, with the amplifier being driven with a WCDMA signal at several power levels.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are extensively being used in exploration, surveillance and military applications to collect data via special sensors and send the data back to a central station via wireless links. Printed antennas embedded in wing structures will eliminate the drag due to friction, and allow for extended load capability due to their extra light weight. In this work, we assess the performance of an embedded small size monopole antenna within the wing structure of a UAV and compare its performance in two environments with a standard wire type monopole inside the fuselage. Their performance is similar with an average difference of 6% in the open field test.

We propose a new simple technique for the integration of ridge waveguide filter in printed circuit board. The proposed technique for manufacture allows easy integration on board with active devices. The manufacture is very simple, low cost, and fast in processing. Several design examples are included to illustrate the approach. The simulation results obtained from the full-wave mode matching technique (MMT) and Finite Element method (FEM) are in very good agreement.

This paper presents a button shaped antenna based on a microstrip Yagi array. The proposed antenna is suitable for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and telemedicine applications operating at 2.45 GHz. Antenna properties, such as far-field radiation patterns, coupling coefficient, measured by the scattering parameter S11, and gain are provided. Moreover, the simulated performance of the proposed antenna is compared to circular and rectangular patch button shaped antennas having similar sizes. Design and simulations are performed using CST Microwave Studio software which is based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The proposed antenna achieved a gain of 6.7 dB, (F/B) ratio of 11.7 dB and a semi-directional radiation pattern required for on body and off body applications.

A compact dual polarized rectenna operating at 2.45 GHz is presented. It consists of a square aperture coupled patch antenna with a cross shaped slot etched on its surface that permits a patch side reduction of 32.5%. The patch size is 3.4 cm by 3.4 cm. The antenna is dual linearly polarized with each orthogonal polarization received by an appropriately placed coupling slot. The received signal from each slot output is rectified by a voltage doubling circuit and the doubler DC output signals are combined allowing the rectenna receive signals of arbitrary polarization. The circuit is optimized for low input power densities using harmonic balance. Simulated rectifier maximum RF-to-DC conversion efficiency values of 15.7% and 42.1% were obtained for input available power levels of -20 dBm and -10 dBm respectively at 2.45 GHz. The measured results are in agreement with the simulation.

This paper presents a ultra low power RF transceiver architecture for 402–405MHz medical implant communication system. The differential complementary colpitts super-regenrative oscillator is used in this architecture to achieve low phase noise, high gain and linearity at low power consumption. The external PCB loop antenna is incorporated into the oscillator. This provides a high Q-factor inductive element to achieve high sensitivity and selectivity. The oscillator transmits RF signals in switched OOK mode and receives in super-regenerative mode. The DSSS super-regenerative mode is proposed for multi-user enviornment. The design concept is simulated in 0.18um CMOS technology. The exchange rate upto 120kbps is achieved for detecting −95dBm signals with the power consumption of 400uW.

The introduction of multi antenna applications in radio frequency identification (RFID) is expected to further improve the capability of RFID systems but requires new or extended simulation and experimental setups. This paper describes a developed analog 2×2 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) frontend for an RFID rapid prototyping system which allows for various realtime experiments to investigate MIMO techniques as beamforming, diversity combining, or localization at the reader. Finally, a measurement example with one transmitter and two receivers is presented for two different tag positions.

A CMOS dB-linear RF variable gain amplifier (VGA) that can provide a variable gain of 25-dB is implemented. The 25-dB of this range is achieved by a dB-linear V-I converter, which includes current limiting circuitry to reduce the gain variation due to process and temperature at maximum and minimum output power levels. The circuits are designed in a 0.13-um RF CMOS process. The measurement results demonstrate −45 dBc ACLR, −165-dBc/Hz Rx-band noise at 5-dBm output power and 25-dB dynamic gain control range in UMTS band for WCDMA. The RF VGA consumes 30-mA of current at maximum gain from a 1.8-V supply.

The detection of breathing and heartbeat from a distance is important for medical triage and mass casualty events as well as routine monitoring of higher-risk patients. Typical approaches include wiring up patients to devices and wearable devices, but remote detection and monitoring is both easier on the patient and easier to administer. Monitoring at low frequencies means that there is less patient risk as well as extended range and reduced power. In this paper we look at the measurement of breathing and heartbeat of human subjects at UHF frequencies. We characterize the system design and capabilities as well as the algorithmic approach to extracting the signal. We measure biometric ground truth using heartbeat sensors, respiration monitors, and accelerometers. We do accurately measure breathing, and can measure heartbeat when the subject is holding his breath, but have not yet separated the heartbeat from breathing when both are being done simultaneously.
