A historical review of Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting (RFEH) Rectenna (Rectifier Antenna) Systems without a matching network is performed, with emphasis on the antenna part. As the antenna, matching network and rectifier are the main parts of the rectenna systems, the reasons behind the elimination of the matching network are presented and different special antennas […]
The frighteningly high levels of power consumption at present are caused mainly by the expanding global population and the accessibility of energy-hungry smart technologies. So far, various simulation tools, engineering- and AI-based methodologies have been utilized to anticipate power consumption effectively. While engineering approaches forecast using dynamic equations, AI-based methods forecast using historical data. The […]
Today, electricity theft is one of the main challenges for energy distribution and transmission companies around the world. Early detection of abnormal consumers can prevent security and financial losses. Extensive research studies have been done to detect electricity theft by analyzing customer consumption patterns. Today, one of the most widely used methods is convolutional neural […]
Although theoretical models of manufacturing processes are useful for understanding physical events, it can be challenging to apply them in real-world industrial settings. When huge data are accessible, artificial intelligence approaches in the context of Industry 4.0 can offer effective answers to real production challenges. Deep learning is increasingly being used in the realm of […]
Un-sharp masking method improves the images contrast without requiring any prior knowledge. In this method, a sharper image can be achieved by empowering the high frequency components of the input image. Un-sharp masking has a parameter named gain factor which has a high effect on the enhanced image quality. In this paper, an approach is […]
This paper presents a broadband low-power CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) in 130 nm technology for sub-GHz Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The proposed circuit consists of a current reuse common source amplifier (CSA) in the forward path, and a positive simple transconductance amplifier (PSTA) in the feedback path. Theoretical calculation of the input admittance […]
As the proportion of total generation by renewable sources compared to non-renewable sources increases, the relative inertial stability provided by large rotating generators in electricity grids is found to shrink and is not being replaced by sources such as photovoltaic and wind power, which are already known for their inherent variability. This leads to electricity […]
