In this paper, a compact UHF RFID tag antenna that can operate at Malaysia UHF RFID frequency (860 MHz - 960MHz) is proposed. The antenna with a common geometry structure without any shorting pin consists of 90degree angled line (meander line) and double T-match structure. The proposed antenna has been designed and simulated using CST Simulation software. The proposed tag antenna design shows a good performance in terms of size, gain and impedance with a dimension of 36 mm 25 mm 1.6 mm. The simulated gain of antenna obtained is -0.135 dB at 910 MHz with 19 MHz bandwidth.

This paper describes a smart monitoring gate-less system by using RFID technologies that had been implemented in Universiti Malaysia Perlis. The objective of this system is to ease the security to monitoring the cars-in and cars-out from the main gate manually. The security can check and manage the staff by system management in PC. This smart monitoring gate-less system consists of RFID tag antenna that be attached at sticker's staff, RFID reader and software management application. For the software management application, this project used LabView as a simulation tool for the data acquisition. The data which contains of name, staff number, number plate, car model and color will be stored in cloud-based storage. All the information data can be accessed from any location because the security management can access it through mobile. This project will present how efficient the vehicle control application on campus which enable the security guard to check a car sticker either legal or illegal in a shortest way.

RF signal calibration for improvement of 3D mapping image to locate moisture distribution in rice silo

Grain storage is an important part of the post-harvest quality assurance process. The moisture level of the grains during storage is one of the primary problems. The current method of measuring rice grain moisture content is based on random sampling, which is relatively localised, and there is no real-time moisture content measurement available. The RF signal was used to build a new technique for detecting moisture and its presence in rice in real-time in this paper. The mapping of an RF signal, in particular, can be transformed into volumetric tomographic images that can be used to forecast moisture distribution.

The utilisation of medical device e.g. an infusion pump is commonly treated as nontrivial process in service and maintenance section albeit in actuality, it is a crucial process for determining its correct maintenance cycle. Therefore, a discussion on the capability of magnetometer sensor as one of potential sensors to be used to keep track the utilisation status of infusion pump. The variation of magnetic flux density and its frequency produced by the stepper motor inside the infusion pump is measured and analysed through magnetometer sensor, embedded inside a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device. Obtained result shows that magnetometer sensor has the potential to track the utilisation status of the tested infusion pumps.
