In AEHs, piezoelectric materials convert mechanical stress into electrical energy. It generates electricity with the application of stimulus such as pressure or sound. This paper reports on the study of a commercial passive piezoelectric transducer effect on an energy harvesting circuit. The energy generated could be used in low power charging applications such as mobile electronic gadgets. The methodology employed in this study is via the energy harvesting circuit based on Piezoelectric Acoustic Energy Harvester (PEAEH) technique. The study advocates the use of renewable acoustics energy supply system to support green energy applications. One of the strengths of this system is that it could withstand noisy environments such as in industrial areas, train stations, bus terminals or busy roads. Another advantage is that it could create a new service for the public to charge their mobile devices conveniently. Finally, the result of the study contributes in waste minimization of electrical energy and electrical bills.","PeriodicalId":6865,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"34 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80891732","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}

Previous studies have shown that the properties of SiGe and GaAs HBT's are very tolerant to gamma, neutron, and proton irradiation without additional radiation hardening. Nowadays, commercial on the shelves (COTS) LNAs have been used in CubeSat communication system lunched in Low and Medium Earth Orbits. It therefore believed that the electron radiation in space may degrade the LNA's performance and lead to its failure. This is shows the importance of such investigation in evaluating and comparing the performance of the GaAs and SiGe LNAs which represent an important module in the front end of the communication receiver system. Two samples of GaAs and SiGe have been selected: the ADL 5523 GaAs and the SiGe BFU730F LNAs which are respectively cover a frequency range of 400MHz to 4 GHz and 2.3 to 2.7 GHz. Samples were irradiated with 3 MeV Electron doses ranging from 50 kGy to 250 kGy in the Electron Beam Irradiation Centre (Alutron), Nuclear Malaysia Agency.

Using this method, sensitivity of 0.04933 mV per 1 ƒF capacitance change is achievable with low power consumption of 3.83 mW.
