Energy Efficiency In Cmos Power Amplifier Designs For Ultralow Power Mobile Wireless Communication Systems, Selvakumar Mariappan, Jagadheswaran Rajendran, Norlaili Mohd Noh, Harikrishnan Ramiah, Asrulnizam Abd Manaf Jan 2020

Energy Efficiency In Cmos Power Amplifier Designs For Ultralow Power Mobile Wireless Communication Systems, Selvakumar Mariappan, Jagadheswaran Rajendran, Norlaili Mohd Noh, Harikrishnan Ramiah, Asrulnizam Abd Manaf

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wireless communication standards keep evolving so that the requirement for high data rate operation can be fulfilled. This leads to the efforts in designing high linearity and low power consumption radio frequency power amplifier (RFPA) to support high data rate signal transmission and preserving battery life. The percentage of the DC power of the transceiver utilized by the power amplifier (PA) depends on the efficiency of the PA, user data rate, propagation conditions, signal modulations, and communication protocols. For example, the PA of a WLAN transceiver consumes 49 % of the overall efficiency from the transmitter. Hence, operating the PA …


Security Analysis Of Wireless Ban In E-Health, Romina Muka, Sule Yildrim-Yayilgan, Kozeta Sevrani Feb 2019

Security Analysis Of Wireless Ban In E-Health, Romina Muka, Sule Yildrim-Yayilgan, Kozeta Sevrani

International Journal of Business and Technology

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) has gained popularity as a new technology for e-Health, and is considered as one of the key research areas in computer science and healthcare applications. WBAN collects patients’ data, monitors constantly their physiological parameters, using small implantable or wearable sensors, and communicates these data using wireless communication techniques in short range. WBAN is playing a huge role in improving the quality of healthcare. Still, due to sensitive and concurrent nature of e-Heath systems, current research has showed that designers must take into considerations the security and privacy protection of the data collected by a …


An Extremely Wideband Radome-Enclosed Cylindrical Dipole Antenna For Wireless Communication, Tariq Rahim, Jiadong Xu Jan 2017

An Extremely Wideband Radome-Enclosed Cylindrical Dipole Antenna For Wireless Communication, Tariq Rahim, Jiadong Xu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A radome-enclosed extremely wideband cylindrical dipole antenna for wireless communications applications was proposed with a simple structure. The antenna is fed at the center with the help of a coaxial cable through the lower hollow metallic pole. The feed area is composed of cones at both sides in order to obtain wideband impedance matching. The proposed antenna can cover 1.8 GHz to 28 GHz with S11 of less than -10 dB and excellent stable omnidirectional radiation characteristics. However, at high frequencies, some ripples are introduced in the radiation pattern. The frequency band of the cylindrical dipole antenna can be controllable …


Wi-Fi Location Determination For Semantic Locations, Keith J. Kelley Jan 2015

Wi-Fi Location Determination For Semantic Locations, Keith J. Kelley

The Hilltop Review

In Wi-Fi location determination literature, little attention is paid to locations that do not have numeric, geometric coordinates, though many users prefer the convenience of non-coordinate locations (consider the ease of giving a street address as opposed to giving latitude and longitude). It is not often easy to tell from the title or abstract of a Wi-Fi location determination article whether or not it has applicability to semantic locations such as room-level names. This article surveys the literature through 2011 on Wi-Fi localization for symbolic locations.


Wireless Location Determination: Using Existing 802.11 Wireless Networks To Determine A Users Location, Travis Calvert Aug 2014

Wireless Location Determination: Using Existing 802.11 Wireless Networks To Determine A Users Location, Travis Calvert

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

The ability to determine a user’s location through an existing 802.11 wireless network has vast implications in the area of context-aware and pervasive computing. Such abilities have been developed mainly in the Linux environment to date. To maximize its usefulness, a location determination system was developed for the more dominant Windows operation system. While being able to operate outdoors as well as indoors, this system succeeds where traditional GPS (Global Positioning Systems) fail, namely indoor environments. This system could benefit the large number of existing wireless networks and requires no additional hardware; only a few simple software downloads. The ability …
