Rectifier for RF energy harvesting using stub matching

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i3.pp1007-1013
I. Adam , M.N. M. Yasin , M.E. A. Aziz , Sulaiman M.I.
One of challenge in rectenna design is the impedance matching of the antenna to the rectifier load. Rectifier exhibits complex impedance while antennas are normally designed to match either 50 Ω or 75 Ω loads. For the optimum power transfer between antenna and the rectifier circuit, both impedances should be matched. This paper presents the design and development of the 7-stages Dickson multiplier in energy harvesting. The objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of the designed multiplier together with matching circuit. An improvement of 60% output voltage is achieved by feeding -30dBm of low input power at the multiplier circuit.

Samirah Razali , Kamaruddin Mamat , Nor Shahniza Kamal Bashah
Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) is among the optimum error controls implemented in Wireless Sensor Network as it reduces the overhead from retransmission and error correcting codes. The advancement in WSN includes the usage of high number of nodes and the increase in traffic with large data transmitted among the nodes had concerned the need for a new approach in error control algorithm. This paper proposed the multiple error correction based on HARQ process to aid the changes in channel with proper error correction assignment towards optimising the performances of WSN in terms of bit error rates, remaining energy, and latency for different types of congestion and channel conditions. In this study, we have developed the channel adaptation algorithm that can adapt to sudden changes and demonstrated the optimal error correcting codes as well as adjustment on the transmit power for the given channel condition and congestion presented. From the result analysed, the optimisation between the remaining energy and Bit Error rates happened on the basis of adapting to these different channel condition and congestion to minimize redundancies appended. From the result obtained, we concluded that by using multiple error correction algorithm with the aid of adjustment on the transmit power, the remaining energy can be optimised together with Bit Error rates and the excessive redundancies can be reduced

Reducing electric field stress near the energised end of surge arresters is very important because it may increase the lifetime of the highly stressed ZnO column in vicinity of the high voltage electrode. Most of previous works were based on manufacturers’ procedures and trial and error method to improve the surge arrester designs. In this work, optimisation of ZnO surge arrester design models using Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is proposed. The surge arrester models were developed using finite element analysis (FEA) and used to determine the electric field distribution. The optimisation methods were used to determine the arrester design parameters which yield the minimum electric field stress surrounding the energized end of the surge arresters. GSA is less complex since it requires only two parameters to be adjusted i.e. mass and velocity while ICA demonstrates faster convergence and better achievement of global optimum. The performance of the proposed methods was then compared with the manufacturer’s test data and previously developed methods.

Optimization study of fuzzy parametric uncertain system

10.11591/ijai.v8.i1.pp14-25
Tejal D. Apale , Ajay B. Patil
This paper deals with the analysis and design of the optimal robust controller for the fuzzy parametric uncertain system. An LTI system in which coefficients depends on parameters described by a fuzzy function is called as fuzzy parametric uncertain system. By optimal control design, we get control law and feedback gain matrix which can stabilize the system. The robust controller design is a difficult task so we go for the optimal control approach. The system can be converted into state space controllable canonical form with the α-cut property fuzzy. For optimal control design, we find control law and get the feedback gain matrix which can stabilize the system and optimizes the cost function. Stability analysis is done by using the Kharitonov theorem and Lyapunov-Popov method. The proposed method applied to a response of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR).

Ku-Band signal is often used for satellite communication mainly for direct to home (DTH) broadcasting. One of the major issues using this band is that the signal will be affected by raindrops. Raindrops absorb and scatter signal that operates at a frequency of more than 10 GHz. However, studies have been done to predict and measure the rainfall rate and rain attenuation. The rain attenuation in Ku-Band range and the rain rate were measured at satellite receiving dish, pointed towards the orbital slot 91.5 E over a one-year period in 2013. The cumulative distribution of rain rate obtained as well as a cumulative distribution of rain attenuation obtained are presented and compared with the rain prediction models. The aim is to get the best model to be used for the purpose of software development. It was found out that the DAH prediction model is fairly equitable when compared to direct satellite dish receiving measurements in Malaysia. The model provided a suitable baseline in developing a user interface software for weather prediction.

Sentiment analysis is directed at identifying people's opinions, beliefs, views and emotions in the context of the entities and attributes that appear in text. The presence of sarcasm, however, can significantly hamper sentiment analysis. In this paper a sentiment classification framework is presented that incorporates sarcasm detection. The framework was evaluated using a non-linear Support Vector Machine and Malay social media data. The results obtained demonstrated that the proposed sarcasm detection process could successfully detect the presence of sarcasm in that better sentiment classification performance was recorded. A best average F-measure score of 0.905 was recorded using the framework; a significantly better result than when sentiment classification was performed without sarcasm detection.

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i3.pp861-865
Uttara Dhananjay Gogate , Dr. Jagdish Wasudeorao Bakal
In the world, roughly more than 3 million people are affected by muscle power loss diseases which cause lack of communication. Further, this lack of communication is a severe problem with hunger and stress, which sometimes proves to be fatal. It is essential to monitor physical parameters such as hunger and mental stress of the patient. To observe hunger and stress, galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor is a most preferred method because it measures the conductance of skin due to sweating. We have designed new hunger and stress monitoring system (HS-MS) that helps patients and their caretakers to monitor stress and hunger level. HS-MS is two electrodes system that attaches to two fingers (index and middle) of the patient and monitors starvation and tension. According to the response of the sensor, caretakers can identify hunger and even the mental stress conditions of the patient. In all, 35 patients were examined using HS-MS system and 20 of them were used as a control. Overall system accuracy was found out to be 86.6% and response time of HS-MS 5 seconds. Sensitivity with respect to hunger and stress was about 99.9% and 73.3% respectively. Thus HS-MS can be identified as a helpful tool to provide comfort to the patient easily and can be used in hospitals or homes with lonely elderly people.
