This paper presents a new technique of radio frequency (RF) signal strength detection with a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit which can be deployed in an internet-of-things (IoT) network. The proposed RSSI circuit is based on a direct conversion of RF to digital code indicating the signal strength. The direct conversion is achieved by the repeated switching of a rectifier's output voltage using an ultra-low power comparator. A 5-bit programmable feedback circuit is used to correct detection inaccuracies. The RSSI circuit is implemented in a 65-nm CMOS process and consumes 6nW power. It has a linear dynamic range of 26dB and exhibits an error of ±0.5dB with a wide bandwidth of 750MHz. A detailed analysis of the RSSI circuit is presented and verified with simulation and measurement results. The high detection accuracy with ultra-low power consumption of our RSSI circuit is favourable for IoT applications including localization, beamforming, hardware security and other low-power applications.

Resonators are passive time-invariant components that do not produce a frequency shift. However, they respond to an excitation signal close to resonance with an oscillation at their natural frequencies with exponentially decreasing amplitudes. If resonators are connected to antennas, they form purely passive sensors that can be read remotely.

Aiming at the path planning problem of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base stations when performing search tasks, this paper proposes a Double DQN-state splitting Q network (DDQN-SSQN) algorithm that combines state splitting and optimal state to complete the optimal path planning of UAV based on the Deep Reinforcement Learning DDQN algorithm. The method stores multidimensional state information in categories and uses targeted training to obtain optimal path information. The method also references the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to influence the reward received by the agent, and in this way reduces the decision difficulty of the UAV.
