Intra-oral wireless devices are becoming more popular for physiological monitoring of the mouth environment and tongue-operated assistive technologies, such as the internal Tongue Drive System (iTDS). Here we present the experimental measurements and simulations of radiation performance of three commercial wireless transmitters operating at 433 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.42 GHz, in the industrial-scientific-medical band when they were placed inside human mouth. The measurement and simulation results showed similarities in the attenuation patterns of all tested devices and indicated that the maximum attenuation occurs on the back of the head. There were no significant difference of average attenuation pattern between 433 MHz and 915 MHz, while the attenuation of 2.42 GHz was higher in simulations but not in the measurements.

This paper presents a passive Envelope Detector (ED) to be used for reception of OOK-modulated signals, such as in Wake-Up Receivers employed within Wireless Sensor Networks, widely used in the IoT. The main goal is implementing a temperature compensation mechanism in order to keep the passive ED input resistance roughly constant over temperature, making it a constant load for the preceding matching network and ultimately keeping the overall receiving chain sensitivity constant over temperature. The proposed ED was designed using STMicroelectronics 90 nm CMOS technology to receive 1 kbps OOK-modulated packets with a 433 MHz carrier frequency and a 0.

One of the key parameters in radio link planning is the propagation path loss. Most of the existing methods for its prediction are not characterized by a good balance between accuracy, generality, and low computational complexity. To address this problem, a machine learning approach for path loss prediction is presented in this study.

The concept of a 2D cylindrical High Pass Ladder (2D c-HPL) is used in the development of this ultra high radio frequency (UHRF) volumetric head coil for 7T tuned at the Larmor frequency of 298 MHz. The architecture of the 2D c-HPL helps to overcome the challenges associated with non-uniform magnetic field distribution. The prototype consists of an individual resonating array of inductance-capacitance (LC) elements and each component is tuned to the precise frequency.

In the present study, we used two popular radio communication SAW resonators as a base for gas sensors and tested their performance. Taking into account issues related to sensor sensitivity, the possibility of applying a sensor layer, the availability of devices, and other related issues, we selected two popular single-port resonators with center frequencies of 315 and 433 MHz (models R315 and R433, respectively) for testing purposes. Both resonators were equipped with a sensitive film of hexafluoroisopropanol-substituted polydimethylsiloxane, a material that selectively absorbs molecules with a high ability to form basic hydrogen bonds.

This paper investigates the variation of lung tissue dielectric properties with tidal volume under conditions to provide reliable and valid a priori information for techniques such as microwave imaging. In this study, the dielectric properties of the lung tissue of 30 rabbits were measured using the open-end coaxial probe method in the frequency band of 100 MHz to 1 GHz, and 6 different sets of tidal volumes (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 mL) were set up to study the trends of the dielectric properties, and the data at 2 specific frequency points (433 and 915 MHz) were analyzed statistically. It was found that the dielectric coefficient and conductivity of lung tissue tended to decrease with increasing tidal volume in the frequency range of 100 MHz to 1 GHz, and the differences in the dielectric properties of lung tissue for the 6 groups of tidal volumes at 2 specific frequency points were statistically significant.
