Machine learning-based technique for resonance and directivity prediction of UMTS LTE band quasi Yagi antenna.

In this study, we have presented our findings on the deployment of a machine learning (ML) technique to enhance the performance of LTE applications employing quasi-Yagi-Uda antennas at 2100 MHz UMTS band. A number of techniques, including simulation, measurement, and a model of an RLC-equivalent circuit, are discussed in this article as ways to assess an antenna's suitability for the intended applications. The CST simulation gives the suggested antenna a reflection coefficient of -38.

Fabrication and Characterization of the Micro-Heater and Temperature Sensor for PolyMUMPs-Based MEMS Gas Sensor.

This work describes the fabrication and characterization of a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor for gas sensing applications. The sensor is based on standard PolyMUMPs (Polysilicon Multi-Users MEMS Process) technology to control the temperature over the sensing layer. Due to its compact size and low power consumption, micro-structures enable a well-designed gas-sensing-layer interaction, resulting in higher sensitivity compared to the ordinary materials.

Statistical Simulation of the Switching Mechanism in ZnO-Based RRAM Devices.

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) has two distinct processes, the SET and RESET processes, that control the formation and dissolution of conductive filament, respectively. The laws of thermodynamics state that these processes correspond to the lowest possible level of free energy. In an RRAM device, a high operating voltage causes device degradation, such as bends, cracks, or bubble-like patterns.

Effect of Nitrogen Doping on the Optical Bandgap and Electrical Conductivity of Nitrogen-Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide.

Graphene as a material for optoelectronic design applications has been significantly restricted owing to zero bandgap and non-compatible handling procedures compared with regular microelectronic ones. In this work, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) with tunable optical bandgap and enhanced electrical conductivity was synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The properties of the synthesized N-rGO were determined using XPS, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, UV/vis, as well as FESEM techniques.

A Review of Actuation and Sensing Mechanisms in MEMS-Based Sensor Devices.

Over the last couple of decades, the advancement in Microelectromechanical System (MEMS) devices is highly demanded for integrating the economically miniaturized sensors with fabricating technology. A sensor is a system that detects and responds to multiple physical inputs and converting them into analogue or digital forms. The sensor transforms these variations into a form which can be utilized as a marker to monitor the device variable.
