In this paper, we analyze the grounding resistance of a vertical grounding rod located in an elevated terrain. Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to f ...
We consider an uplink multicarrier system with multiple video users who want to send compressed video data to the base station. In the time domain, we model the time varying channel using Jakes’ model, and in the frequency domain, each subcarrier is assume ...

An implantable local temperature monitoring system for a laboratory mouse is presented. Magnetic coupling is used to remotely power the passive implant. The temperatures of two local points are monitored by thermistors. A low-power readout circuit is imple ...
In this paper, we address the resource allocation problem of device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based cellular systems by exploiting the efficiency that comes from an ensemble of graph th ...
In this paper we propose a circular leaky wave-antenna with omnidirectional radiation in the H-plane. The design utilizes double-layered strips to create an end-fire antenna. A linear tapering of the stripes in the design endows the antenna with a 27% impe ...
An ultrasonic on-off keying/amplitude-shift keying demodulator using standard 0.18 mu m CMOS technology is proposed, intended for recovering the identification number of an implanted medical device transmitted from an external base station. The CMOS integr ...
The paper analyzes the monetary value of precious and critical metals stocks in selected electronic equipment sold during 2004-2014 in Germany and at global level, as well as the value of the metals stock which is not being put to use. Initially a literatu ...
Fluid-mediated programmable stochastic self-assembly offers promising means to formation of target structures capable of a variety of functionalities. While miniaturized building blocks allow for finer resolutions in such structures, as well as access to u ...
In this work, a complete passive UHF RFID system for capacitive sensing applications is developed to be used in food quality monitoring and supply chain management. All the components of the RFID system including the base station, the base station antenna, ...
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the base station (BS) is a critical sensor node whose failure causes severe data losses. Deploying multiple fixed BSs improves the robustness, yet requires all BSs to be installed with large batteries and large energy-ha ...
