The first configuration consists of a square patch with outer ring which exhibits two resonances at 865MHz and 2.45GHz respectively. At both these frequencies, the antenna has its main beam along the +z axis (broadside direction). Two superstrates, S3 and S4, are designed to be used separately with this antenna. Both S3 and S4, when placed above the antenna separately, shift the first resonance from 865MHz to 905MHz without affecting the 2.45GHz resonance. Placing S3 5mm above the antenna gives rise to a bi-directional radiation pattern (±z-axis) while replacing S3 with S4 generates a main beam along the -z axis (opposite broadside direction) at 905MHz. The radiation pattern remains unperturbed at 2.45GHz for both configurations. The first antenna configuration works within the European UHF-RFID band whereas the antenna + S3 and antenna + S4 configurations work within the North-American UHF-RFID band. Additionally, all three configurations also operate within the 2.45GHz WLAN band. Both the antenna-superstrate configurations have very low profiles of \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$lambda _{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000/\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$24.4~(lambda _{0} ,, {=}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 free space wavelength at 2.45GHz). The antenna can thus be used with/without the superstrates as an RFID reader depending upon requirements. The information received from the tags can then be transmitted via the WLAN channel.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"8 ","pages":"571-579"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141447993","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}

For example, a DSM-based backscatter modulator having only two or four impedance states can generate quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) with e.g., 64 states, or multicarrier orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals having many subcarriers. This paper describes potential improvements to in-channel spectral characteristics by adding single sideband (SSB) and double sideband (DSB) noise shaping to the DSM signal path. Using numerical simulation and hardware validation, we demonstrate that noise-shaped DSM can improve the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of OFDM subcarriers generated by a low-resolution two-state or four-state impedance digital-to-analog converter. The noise shaping approaches are validated using a prototype OFDM backscatter uplink based on an FPGA driving a single-pole-four-throw (SP4T) CMOS RF switch that serves as the backscatter modulator. The SSB and DSB noise shaping techniques are compared by over-the-air transmission of five-subcarrier OFDM backscatter symbols with a four-times oversampling DSM at up to 1.25 Mbps. With this approach, we find that DSB noise shaping yielded a 6.2 dB improvement in SFDR relative to SSB noise shaping, at the cost of 9.8 dB higher peak out-of-band quantization noise. These results confirm that an all-digital modulation approach with noise-shaped DSM can be used to balance in-band vs. out-of-band quantization noise and thus optimize the spectral characteristics of hardware-efficient, all-digital backscatter modulators for low-power wireless communication.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"8 ","pages":"270-276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140924688","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}

Here, a square patch is loaded on top of a short monopole antenna to improve its input impedance and radiation efficiency. Subsequently, the tag antenna is shunt-fed (using both the direct-feeding and proximity-coupled-feeding methods) to further enhance its input impedance and omnidirectionality. As a result, the antenna impedance, radiation resistance, and radiation efficiency have all been enhanced significantly, as compared with a typical short monopole antenna. A C-shaped feedline, which is to shunt-feed the tag antenna, is also introducing additional inductance to the antenna impedance for attaining good impedance matching level. Despite having a profile of not more than one hundredth of the operating wavelength, the proposed tag antenna is still able to exhibit a strong and stable omnidirectional radiation pattern when attached on a metal.

As one of the main threats to the health of the elderly, falling seriously reduces the happiness of the elderly and imposes a burden on the medical system. Therefore, the exploration of automatic fall detection systems is crucial. However, proposed fall detection systems exhibit varying degrees of shortcomings. In this paper, we propose a new fall detection method utilizing Doppler shift with RFID passive tags. The motion of the passive tag induces a Doppler shift in the reflected signal. This method is the first to use Doppler frequency shift for fall detection in RFID. Additionally, a velocity-position iteration algorithm is applied to ascertain the tag’s position and velocity over time. The combination of velocity and position for fall detection yields higher accuracy compared to individual parameters. The proposed method demonstrates the capability to differentiate between sudden and soft falls, aiding medical professionals in identifying the cause of a user’s fall. The experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves an accuracy rate of 91.7% in detecting sudden falls, and this accuracy remains at 86.8% even after incorporating soft falls into the analysis. Consequently, the proposed method proves to be an effective and reliable approach for fall detection.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"8 ","pages":"252-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140905330","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}

In this paper, we focus on the occluded pedestrians within complex driving scenes and propose an occupancy-aided augmentation method for occluded humans in autonomous driving denoted as “Drive-CP“, built upon the foundation of parallel vision. Due to the flourishing development of AI Content Generation (AIGC) technologies, it is possible to automate the generation of diverse 2D and 3D assets. Based on AIGC technologies, we can construct our human library automatically, significantly enhancing the diversity of the training data.

However, in distributed scenarios, the operational data of industrial equipment is dynamic and non-independently identically distributed (non-IID). This situation leads to poor performance of federated learning algorithms in industrial anomaly detection tasks. Personalized federated learning is a viable solution to the non-IID data problem, but it is not effective in responding to dynamic environmental changes. Implementing directed updates to the model, thereby effectively maintaining its stability, is one of the solutions for addressing dynamic challenges. In addition, even though federated learning has the ability to protect data privacy, it still has the risk of privacy leakage due to differential privacy attacks. In this paper, we propose a personalized federated learning based on hypernetwork and credible directed update of models to generate stable personalized models for clients with non-IID data in a dynamic environment. Furthermore, we propose a parameter-varying differential privacy mechanism to mitigate compromised differential attacks. We evaluate the capability of the proposed method to perform the anomaly detection task using real air conditioning datasets from three distinct factories.
