2023-10-06 , Saidatul Norlyana Azemi , Ibrahim N.A. , Amiza Amir , Mohd Rashidi Che Beson , Abdul Aziz M.E.

RFID is not a new technology. It has been applied in various industries such as for wearable applications. Common RFID tags especially for those that have been designed and are available are not independent of the incident receiver angle. Numerous wearable antennas on the market are only designed for a certain received angle. For example, a wearable RFID antenna is used in medical as a pulse reading detector. If the patient makes any movement, the patient's pulse reading is no longer accurate or there may be no pulse reading. Hence, the purpose of this project is to design and RFID antennas using Frequency Selective Surface, FSS for wearable applications that are independent towards the incident angle and small in size. In this project, several antennas design with Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is proposed. The design for this antenna is round, square, and hexagonal. This antenna has an operating frequency from 2.4 GHz to 5.8GHz, bandwidth efficiency> 50%, dielectric constant 1.30, independent incident angle up to 60 degrees, and has a high gain of around 2 to 3dB.

This paper presents a gain enhanced rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) using air gap. The air gap placed under the dielectric resonator antenna and above the ground plane. A gain of 6.605 dBi obtained from the DRA with air gap while gain of 5.956 dBi is achieved by DRA without air gap. The size of the antenna is approximately 50 mm by 40 mm, thus it can be considered a compact design. This antenna designed using Rogers RO4003 substrate and the DRA material is Eccostock HIK. All the design and simulation results are conducted using CST Studio Suite 2019 software. Based on the result, it shows that the antenna operates with reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB at the desired operating frequency range, centered at 3.5 GHz. The inclusion of air gap proved that it can enhance the gain value of the DRA.

Development of U-Shape Slot Wearable Antenna for In-Body Communications

2020-03-20 , Kamaruddin N.A. , Saidatul Norlyana Azemi , Siti Zuraidah Ibrahim , Mohd Rashidi Che Beson

The ability to have a communication with devices implanted inside a human body will cause a great improvement in current wireless medical applications technology. Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is a medical device that could send images from inside of human's intestines to the sensor outside the body. However, this device has few disadvantages like its location cannot be detected once it entered the body and it also cannot be control from outside the body. Considering these factors, an antenna that has the ability to penetrate into human body tissues for in-body communication is proposed. UWB system has considered as the solution for future in-body communication devices since current standard does not allow high data rate wireless connections between implanted nodes. Low part of UWB frequency band which is 3.1 GHz to 5.0 GHz is used in this research in order to reduce the attenuation through the body tissues as the frequency increase. The design of this antenna has taken in consideration of the propagation medium which is the human body tissues. Simulation for the designed antenna was done in CST Software. The size of this antenna is designed to be compact and wearable on human body. The substrate used for this antenna is cotton to ensure comfort once it is placed on the human body. The results that are considered in this research are the S11, directivity and gain of the antenna. Both simulation results and measured results are compared to evaluate the ability of this antenna.

This paper is proposed based on considerable reviewed design techniques. It works at 200MHz, 800MHz and 1,200MHz named as “Trio-Band” with the fixed size of 300mm×300mm×1.6mm of the FR4 substrate. The antenna application is for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) with targeted depth range is from 10cm to 1,000cm. The combination of slotted shapes which is Half-circle, Staircase, Quarter-eclipse and Circular-Ring are applied to achieve the Trio-Band with the parametric analysis to determine the appropriate size. The final Vivaldi antenna achieves the reflective coefficient (S11) with -30.05dB (200MHz), -12.05dB (800MHz) and -15.35dB (1,200MHz) as well as 50Ω of impedance matching.

2020 , Leong Yi Mei , Ku Nurul Fazira Ku Azir , Siti Zuraidah Ibrahim , Saidatul Norlyana Azemi

Laundry Management System and Laundry-On-Demand Mobile Applications are presented in this paper. Using conventional laundry service method, customer is not informed about the laundry process stage, does not have option to arrange the preferred laundry pick up time for the deliveryman to pick up the unwashed laundry from the address provided by customer and the laundry ordering paper forms are often lost in transit between customer and admin. Therefore, a laundry management system software and laundry on demand mobile application is demanded to solve the problems. The software development is performed using an open source developing platform Android Studio IDE and Firebase Real-time Database, Authentication, Cloud Messaging and Cloud Storage. The method used to develop the software is waterfall modelling and two characters are involved, which is admin and customer. The two characters functions are separated in two different applications. A Laundry Management System Software is developed for admin to manage, make order and monitor the business. A Laundry-On-Demand Mobile Application is developed for customer to make order and monitor the order. These both applications can receive notification from each other. The data can be correctly written and read from Firebase Real-time database, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Storage. The developed software and mobile application are evaluated in term of its functionality.

2017 , Mohamad khlouf Munzer , Saidatul Norlyana Azemi , Ping Jack Soh , Azremi Abdullah Al-Hadi , Mohd Faizal Jamlos

One of the most used antennas in mobile devices is planar inverted F antenna (PIFA). PIFA can be design in dual band frequencies due to the coverage of the wireless service in a mobile device that requires a multiple frequencies. However, the consideration of technical operation has to be combined with an evaluation of the antenna radiation impact on the users. A procedure of PIFA work in GSM (867-960MHz) and GSM (1710-1899MHz) is done using CST Software. The dual band frequency response is obtained by means of an insertion of an L-shaped slot, which is use to tune the operation frequencies. The prototype of the antenna is fabricated as model by CST Software and evaluated. It is found out that the PIFA antenna has a good efficiency, bandwidth as well as produce a maximum gain for the antenna. A key and innovative research is still underway to broaden performance parameters of the antenna.
