The size of the antenna is strictly miniaturized both physically and electrically. The band notching of WLAN and WiMAX is achieved through the etching of two slots in the ground plane and the radiating patch respectively. Based on the symmetry of the antenna, additional size reduction is achieved by using only the half of the proposed antenna, while the antenna still does the same function except some minor changes in the band notching characteristics which can be optimized. The physical size of the antenna after reduction is 6.9×18 mm2 which represents an electrical size of O.07λ0X0.19λ0 at the lowest frequency of operation. The antenna is properly matched to 50-ohm input resistance over the frequency band from 3.2-12 GHz. However, the frequency bands 3.4-3.8 GHz and 5.2-5.8 GHz are notched to mitigate the interference with WiMAX and WLAN technologies. The performance of the proposed full size and reduced size antennas is compared showing that the reduced size antenna has the same performance of the full size antenna.","PeriodicalId":132198,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Electronics Design, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116029921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The user has to physically be at a specific location in order to enable specific actions; allowing for a more intimate interaction as users physically interact with the NFC terminal. To illustrate the concept we present a RFID tag based check-in system using Social Networks as a means to determine and validate the user's location. We present a black box prototype and discuss the advantages, disadvantages and suitability of such a system for different use-cases. We argue how physical check-ins simplify the user experience and remove the need for technical competency, user hardware or awareness of positioning accuracy.","PeriodicalId":132198,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Electronics Design, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"94 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121008932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design was based on the Villard voltage multiplier circuit. A 4-stage Schottky diode voltage multiplier circuit was designed, modeled, simulated, fabricated and tested for its performance. Multisim was used for the modeling and simulation work. Simulation and practical tests were carried out for various input power levels at the specified frequency band.

This paper describes the implementation of a semi-digital PLL for high bandwidth applications, which is self-biased, low-power and exhibits bandwidth tracking for all reference frequencies between 40 MHz and 2.5 GHz in 65nm CMOS technology. This design can be used for a wide range of reference frequencies without redesigning any block. The bandwidth can be fixed to some fraction of the reference frequency during design time. In this work, the PLL is designed to make the bandwidth track 1/20th of the reference frequency. Since this PLL is self-compensated, the PLL performance and the bandwidth remains the same over PVT corners.","PeriodicalId":132198,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Electronics Design, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114407562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
