This study introduces a compact dual-band rectifier utilizing a single and multi-stub matching network (MN) technique. The rectifier consists of two branches, each incorporating a single block stub and two blocks stub to generate two frequency susceptance blocks, subsequently transformed into a meandered line. The proposed rectifier operates at two frequency bands of 0.7 GHz and 0.9 GHz and is fabricated on an RT/Duroid 5880 printed circuit board (PCB) with dimensions of 37×25×1.6 mm using an entire ground architecture. Simulation and measurement results show that the rectifier has a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 67.77% and 66.35% at 0.7 GHz and 70.31% and 71.22% at 0.9 GHz with input power of 0 dBm, respectively. The rectified voltage is 1.79 V DC across a 5 kΩ load terminal (RL) with 5 dBm input power and is capable of sensing low input power down to -30 dBm. This feature makes the rectifier a promising solution for powering low-power devices from ambient energy.

Higher-order-mode triple band circularly polarized rectangular dielectric resonator antenna

2021-04-02 , Zambak M.F. , Mohd Najib Mohd Yasin , Ismahayati Adam , Iqbal J. , Osman M.N.

The paper presents a triband circular polarized rectangular dielectric resonator antenna. A single coaxial cable feeds the DRA to a double stub strip on the DRA side. A patch strip coupled to the feed assists in widening the bandwidth of the proposed DRA. The degenerate mode pair TEx∂11 and higher-TEx∂23 has been excited to achieve CP and enhance the antenna gain. The higher-order mode has been excited using a low-cost simple excitation mechanism without compromising on the size and shape of the DRA. An impedance bandwidth of 48% with a gain ~6–9 dBic was achieved in all resonance frequencies. Additionally, the AR bandwidth of 5.5%, 4.2%, and 2.76% was obtained at three different frequencies. Note that the proposed DRA exhibits a wide beamwidth of 112o, which is good for better signal reception. A comparison between the measured with simulated results shows that the measured results are matched by the simulated result trends.

This paper presents the design of an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for Internet of Things (IoT) applications that operate within 5G operating frequencies. One of the IoT-based devices’ architecture is wireless body area networks (WBANs). WBAN allows computer device to communicate with human body signal by trading digital information like electrical conductivity. Fifth generation (5G) is the state-of-the-art generation mobile communication. A higher data speed it offers will improve data communication efficiency in WBAN system. One of the biggest challenges foreseen for the wearable UWB antenna is the antenna bandwidth. The challenge is to warrant a wideband performance throughout the operating frequency, and a trade-off with a high dielectric in proposed substrate is essential. This paper presents design and parametric analysis of an antenna using a typical industry-preferred Rogers material (RO4350B) substrate with wider bandwidth as compared to 5G frequencies, 10.125–10.225 GHz. This paper also exhibits bandwidth improvement with the presence of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) as a metasurface. A typical UWB patch antenna was initially designed before being integrated with AMC through a parametric analysis. This paper analyzes the frequency, gain, directivity and antenna efficiency before and after optimization. This paper successfully demonstrates a slotted Y-shaped antenna design with coplanar waveguide (CPW) using a Rogers material (RO4350B) as a substrate and the bandwidth improvement by 15.6% with the AMC as a metasurface.

A Hybrid Mutual Coupling Reduction Technique in a Dual-Band MIMO Textile Antenna for WBAN and 5G Applications

2021-01-01 , Hamza A. Mashagba , Hasliza A Rahim @ Samsuddin , Ismahayati Adam , Jamaluddin M.H. , Mohd Najib Mohd Yasin , Muzammil Jusoh , Thennarasan Sabapathy , Abdulmalek M. , Azremi Abdullah Al-Hadi , Arif Mawardi Ismail , Soh Ping Jack

This paper presents a hybrid mutual coupling reduction technique applied onto a dual-band textile MIMO antenna for wireless body area network and 5G applications. The MIMO antenna consists of two hexagonal patch antennas, each integrated with a split-ring (SR) and a bar slot to operate in dual-band mode at 2.45 GHz and 3.5 GHz. Each patch is dimensioned at 47.2 × 31 mm2. This hybrid technique results in a simple structure, while enabling significant reduction of mutual coupling (MC) between the closely spaced patches (up to 0.1 λ). This technique combines a line patch and a patch rotation technique, explained as follows. First, a line patch is introduced at an optimized distance to enable operation with a broad impedance bandwidth at both target frequencies. One of the patches is then rotated by 90° at an optimized distance, resulting in a significant MC suppression while maintaining the dual and broad impedance bandwidth. The proposed MIMO antenna is further evaluated under several bending configurations to assess its robustness. A satisfactory agreement between simulated and measured results is observed in both planar and bending conditions. Results show that the MIMO antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth of 4.3 % and 6.79 % in the 2.45 GHz and 3.5 GHz band, respectively. Moreover, very low MC (S21 <-30 dB) is achieved, with a low (< 0.002) envelop correlation coefficient, and about 10 dB of diversity gain at both desired frequencies using this technique. Even when bent at an angle of 50° at the x-and y-axes, the antenna bent maintained a realized gain of 1.878 dBi and 4.027 dBi in the lower and upper band, respectively. A robust performance is offered by the antenna against the lossy effects of the human body with good agreements between simulated and measured results.

Magnetic resonant coupling (MRC) is one of the techniques that are widely used in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. The technique is commonly used for enhancing distance while maintaining power transfer efficiency (PTE). Many studies have investigated new technologies to extend the distance of MRC while maintaining high PTE values. The most promising technique to date in MRC is the addition of a resonator between the transmitter and the receiver coil. The implementation of the resonator varies based on different designs, sizes, and material types, although the outcomes remain unsatisfactory. By introducing dielectric material resonators, PTE can be improved by lowering the ohmic loss which becomes a problem on conventional resonators. This study presents a general overview on the use of dielectric material as a resonator in MRC WPT technology and its technological development. The basic operation of MRC WPT is summarized with up-to-date technical improvements related to dielectric material as a resonator in the field of WPT. An overview of the current limitations and challenges of this technique is also highlighted in this study.

2017-01-01 , Ismahayati Adam , Mohd Najib Mohd Yasin , Mohd Fareq Abd Malek , Hasliza A Rahim @ Samsuddin , Shakhirul Mat Salleh , Mohammad Shahrazel Razalli

Worlds are looking for a renewable energy to replace current energy sources. Solar and wind renewable energy has been deployed for some years as one renewable energy in a few countries in a large scale. For a small scale renewable energy, the development of electromagnetic energy harvesting has good potential as one of the sources of renewable energy since the electromagnetic energy is available all the time and everywhere, unlike other renewable energy (e.g., solar, wind, thermal and ocean wave). First step of feasibility of scavenging an RF energy is investigated through power density measurement in urban and semi-urban area. An average power of −13.33 dBm (UMTS band) measured in urban environment.

Development of cascaded voltage doubler rectifier for RF energy harvesting

2022-02-21 , Ismahayati Adam , Mohd Najib Mohd Yasin , Ibrahim S.Z. , Haris N.

Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting is a process where RF energy from the ambient source is collected and converted into an electrical energy by using a rectifier circuit. However, the collected RF energy only supplies very low input power. Therefore, it is important to design a circuit that not only rectified the RF signal, but also with amplified characteristic to obtain a higher output voltage from a low input power. Driven by the increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices operating in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band, the presented rectifier circuit in this paper is designed in the same band as well. Initially, the voltage doubler circuit is chosen as the primary rectifier circuit, afterward cascaded into several stages until the most optimized result is obtained. The optimization is investigated across-30 dBm to 0 dBm of RF input power by varying the value of capacitor and resistor at a single stage. Based on the topology analysis, Dickson topology yields slightly higher voltage compared to Villard. In turn, the optimized number of stages is 6 because higher stages resulted to less output power. The measured reflection coefficient of the fabricated prototype is better than 40 dB at the center frequency with 240 MHz bandwidth. The rectified voltage is 3.4 V with 0 dBm input power. When it is supplied by 5 dBm input power, the green LED that connected to rectifier circuit output is light-up, confirming the RF energy harvesting application.

This paper analysed the effects of bending on the performance of a textile antenna wherein the antenna under test was made of felt substrate for both industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band and WBAN applications at 2.45 GHz. Moreover, the conductive material was used for the patch, and the ground plane used a 0.17 mm Shieldit textile. Meanwhile, the antenna structure was in the form of rectangular, with a line patch in between elements to abate the mutual coupling effect. The measured operating frequency range of the antenna spanned from 2.33 GHz to 2.5 GHz with a gain of 4.7 dBi at 2.45 GHz. In this paper, the antenna robustness was examined by bending the structure on different radii and degrees along both X- and Y-axis. Next, the effects on return loss, bandwidth, isolation, and radiation characteristics were analysed. This paper also discovered that the antenna's performance remained acceptable as it was deformed, and the measured results agreed well with the simulation.

Mutual Coupling Suppression in Wearable MIMO Antenna for On/Off-Body WBAN Applications

2021-03-01 , Ismahayati Adam , Hasliza A Rahim @ Samsuddin , Mohd Najib Mohd Yasin , Muhammad Nazrin Mohd Nasrol

A 2x1 wearable multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with line patch as mutual coupling suppression is presented. The proposed MIMO antenna is based on a simple rectangular structure that works at 2.45 GHz frequency. The patches are designed using ShieldIt textiles and are placed to a very closed (0.1λ) gap. The results show that the suppression in the mutual coupling of 5 dB (from-20 dB to-25dB), reduced by 25% after the line patch is inserted in between patches. On a positive note, an improvement in the antenna gain, from 4.4 dB to 4.7dB is achieved. On top of that, the performance of the reflection coefficient (S11) and the antenna impedance bandwidth is preserved. Important diversity performance parameter for MIMO antenna such as ECC, diversity gain and MEG results are found to be in an acceptable limit.

Comparison of rectifier performance using different matching technique

2017-01-03 , Ismahayati Adam , Mohd Najib Mohd Yasin , Mohammad Shahrazel Razalli

This paper describes the design and implementation of the 4-stage Villard multiplier for RF energy harvesting. Each stage is a combination of two HSMS 2850 Schottky diodes and two capacitors for each stage. For ambient energy harvesting, the incident power is extremely small, thus an efficient rectifier is needed. The designed rectifier with the matching circuit is a good candidate since it is able to enhance the rectified output power up to 300% during -40dBm input power compared to the rectifier circuit alone.
