Since photocurrent is positively correlated with the difference of Seebeck coefficient of the material and negatively correlated with the resistance of the material, a method for calculating the thermoelectric parameters of graphene with double-gate structure is proposed in this paper. Taking the back gate voltage as a global variable and the top gate voltage as a local variable, the resistance of graphene sheets in different regions is regulated. By solving the resistance of graphene sheets in two regions with top gate and without top gate, their Seebeck coefficients can be obtained. The results show that under the control of the global back gate voltage, a small range of fine adjustment of the top gate voltage can accurately achieve precise control of the resistance and Seebeck coefficient of different regions of the graphene sheet. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent study on the photoelectric characteristics of graphene.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132443961","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}

One of the important scenarios is that an RFID system is used for identifying goods in shops and warehouses. For achieving good read accuracy, however, it is necessary to understand indoor radio propagation environment with surrounding materials that reflect radio waves and generate standing waves. In this paper, we analyze RFID read success rate in metal shelf environment through FDTD simulation. In order to reduce the read error, we propose a reader/writer (R/W) beam scanning and repeated transmission scheme with a moving conductor. By displacing the conductor in the vicinity of R/W antennas, receiving power null position caused by the standing waves is moved. Then, read accuracy can be improved by repeated transmission and selection combining. It is confirmed from the simulations that the read rate is greatly improved by the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128892904","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}

According to Ministry of Communication and Information of the Republic of Indonesia, more than 100 million of Indonesia's 250 million residents are active smartphone users in 2018. With such a large number, Indonesia is a country with the fourth most active smartphone users in the world after China, India and United States. In addition, the level of Indonesia's internet coverage in 2018 reached 82%. One of the most commonly used types of networks is ISM band network with frequency of 2.45 GHz. The number of smartphone and internet users in Indonesia currently encourages research on the effects of radio wave exposure on the human body tissue in relatively short and long time. Therefore, a study using smartphone antenna at resonant the frequency of 2.45 GHz against human head model is proposed. The study is aimed to evaluate how much the influence of 2.45 GHz frequency or Wi-Fi frequency on the human head in terms of specific absorption rate (SAR). This study is conducted by EM simulator software, which the human head is modeled as a homogenous head phantom consisting of three-layer human brain model. The human brain model is then fabricated as semisolid phantom, which is put in the 3-D printed human head container. The phantom is then exposed to the smartphone antenna for SAR measurement by using thermographic method. The result shows that the SAR values from 0.4585 W/kg to 1.4108 W/kg are obtained following exposure on the fabricated head phantom.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115202753","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}
