A graphene-based 1 × 2 array antenna with circular polarization for terahertz applications is prescribed in this article. Initially, a novel concept of a folded quarter wave impedance transformer is utilized in the design process of a single element for minimizing the overall antenna size. The opposite corners of the patches have been truncated and structural modifications are performed with the insertion of four flower-shaped slots along with an additional circular slot for achieving a much-improved reflection coefficient and better impedance bandwidth.

Environmental safety is one of the key issues that are directly related to a country's prosperity One of the most fundamental aspects of a sustainable economy is waste management and recycling. Better recycling safety and efficiency may be achieved via the use of intelligent devices rather than manual effort. In this research, we describe a machine learning-based architecture for smart trash collection and sorting using the Internet of Things and wireless sensor networks.
