This green energy harvesting technique captures the RF radiation with the help of an antenna and converts it to direct current (DC) power with the help of a rectifier to activate electronic devices. The presented antenna in this paper is characterized by semi elliptical shaped slots and features two ports 1 and 2. In Port 1, the antenna is designed to harvest energy from 1.71 GHz, 2.33 GHz, 5 GHz, and 5.8 GHz, while in Port 2, it is designed to harvest energy from 2.31 GHz, 3.26 GHz, and 3.84 GHz. The antenna's dimensions are 44 × 44 (mm) which is designed and simulated in HFSS Software. Aside from the antenna, a non-uniform transmission line matching circuit and a voltage doubler rectifying circuit are developed in ADS software for converting the RF power acquired by the antenna into DC power. Furthermore, the proposed antenna is fabricated and measured with a Keysight Vector Network Analyzer. The rectifying circuit is also fabricated which measures 25 × 17 (mm). At both Port 1 and 2, antenna simulation results of return loss, current distribution, radiation pattern in E-plane and H-plane, and VSWR are obtained. The antenna's simulated and measured results are observed to agree with each other. Moreover, with an input power of 10 dBm, the maximum efficiency is found to be 52%, and the output voltage is 3.2 V. The novelty of this paper lies in the fact that inserting semi elliptical slots on the four sides of the antenna’s patch creates multiple resonance frequencies and also reduces the size. Ultimately, the proposed rectenna system is compact with good efficiency, output voltage and a potential alternative source for powering low-power devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7827,"journal":{"name":"Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing","volume":"122 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143109666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When it comes to clinical assessment, the presence of artifacts makes the study of EEG more complex. Power Line noise, eye movements, Electromyogram (EMG), and Electrocardiogram (ECG) are the most often seen artifacts that impact the EEG. Various researchers have developed a variety of strategies and procedures to deal with these artifacts. We provide a method for denoising the EEG signal in this work. The suggested method is implemented using a combined approach of wavelet total variation denoising method (WATV) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA). ICA technique entails running ICA algorithm on independent components to derive the components. In the case of artifactual events, just the wavelet-ICA components related to that event are used and then eliminated. To create artifact-free EEG, the artifact-free wavelet components are reconstructed. The complete approach may be confirmed for simulated signals and may be utilized for processing biological data, which may include EEG signal measurements, and for images, such as MRIs, contaminated by additional random noise. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) will be used to evaluate the algorithm’s performance.

Load balancing prioritizes the inductor current delivery in the case of a large load current request. The controller aims to finalize the ongoing regulation of the recent output in a prompt manner and then directs the inductor current to the steep load demand output and afterwards returns to the initial output regulation in an iterative way. In conjunction with iterative duty cycle adjustment of outputs, a frequency counter is utilized to accelerate the iteration process to enhance the transient response further. In addition, a delay locked loop fine tunes the duty cycle further to reduce the steady state cross regulation and also limits the switching frequency spectrum. Consequently, both static cross regulation and transient cross regulation performance are further improved compared to previous SIDO architectures. Post-layout simulation results indicate that this architecture has a static cross regulation of 0.0009 mV/mA and transient cross regulation of 0.0063 mV/mA.
