AI Article Synopsis

  • The article discusses a wireless human motion detection system using a stretchable patch antenna designed with a Hilbert fractal pattern, allowing for 40% mechanical stretchability and a gain of 2.95 dB at 2.5 GHz.
  • The fractal design enhances the antenna's performance and adaptability to different strains, showing minimal impact from bending while being sensitive to tension.
  • The effectiveness of this system in detecting joint motions has been proven through experiments with a wireless on-body strain sensor.

Article Abstract

This article describes the implementation of a wireless human motion detection with interference resistance to untargeted deformations based on a stretchable patch antenna with fractal design. By rationally incorporating the Hilbert fractal pattern in the conductive patch and ground plane, the patch antenna shows a mechanical stretchability of ∼40% and a maximum gain of 2.95 dB at 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, the influence of the fractal order on the mechanical stretchability and radiation properties of the stretchable patch antenna is discussed. The resonant frequency of the stretchable fractal antenna demonstrates highly selective sensitivity to different deformations; i.e., it remains almost unchanged with bending deformations and is linearly dependent on the tensile strain. Remote detection of joint motions is experimentally verified by a wireless on-body strain sensor based on the fractal design-based stretchable microstrip antenna.

This paper examines the design of antennas for Hi-pass type turnstiles needed to implement a subway free-pass system targeting transportation-disadvantaged individuals. The subway free-pass system allows individuals who have a free-pass card to approach the turnstile with the card on their person, which opens the gate automatically. This system, like the highway Hi-pass, allows users to pass through the subway gate without needing to scan a ticket.

This paper demonstrates real-time, label-free, contact-based glucose sensor design of inset-fed Microstrip Patch Antenna (MSPA) genres: Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna (SMSPA) and Through-hole Microstrip Patch Antenna (THMSPA). In SMSPA, multiple slots are created along the width edge of the patch. In THMSPA, a through-hole is introduced across the antenna including all the layers: patch, substrate and ground conductor of the MSPA.

Escuela de Ingeniería Eléctrica, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile.

This article presents a high-frequency characterization from 1 up to 10 GHz of electroplated conductive filaments in 3D printed microwave topologies. This study implements different microstrip lines and antennas to compare their performance as-is and with the electroplating process. The results for the microstrip lines show a significant decrease in losses for the electroplated devices, even reaching loss levels of pure copper devices.
