Embroidered Spoof Surface Plasmon Polariton Transmission Line for Wireless Body Sensor Network

Ali Ghaddar, Baptiste Garnier, François Rault, Eric Lheurette, Ludovic Burgnies

A wearable Spoof Surface Plasmon Polariton Transmission Line (SSPP TL) operating at 2.45 GHz designed for embroidery production and on-body communication is proposed. The SSPP TL supports both even and odd modes launched by near field coupling with a dipole antenna perpendicular and parallel to the…

Low Buffer Trapping Effects above 1200 V in Normally off GaN-on-Silicon Field Effect Transistors

Idriss Abid, Youssef Hamdaoui, Jash Mehta, Joff Derluyn, Farid Medjdoub

We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of AlGaN/GaN normally off transistors on silicon designed for high-voltage operation. The normally off configuration was achieved with a p-gallium nitride (p-GaN) cap layer below the gate, enabling a positive threshold voltage higher than…

Towards Outdoor Electromagnetic Field Exposure Mapping Generation Using Conditional GANs

Mohammed Mallik, Angesom Ataklity Tesfay, Benjamin Allaert, Rédha Kassi, Esteban Egea-Lopez, Jose-Maria Molina-Garcia-Pardo, Joe Wiart, Davy Gaillot, Laurent Clavier

With the ongoing fifth-generation cellular network (5G) deployment, electromagnetic field exposure has become a critical concern. However, measurements are scarce, and accurate electromagnetic field reconstruction in a geographic region remains challenging. This work proposes a conditional…

Review on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Assisted Sensor Node Localization in Wireless Networks: Soft Computing Approaches

Visalakshi Annepu, Deepika Rani Sona, Chinthaginjala Ravikumar, Kalapraveen Bagadi, Mohammad Alibakhshikenari, Ayman Althuwayb, Bader Alali, Bal Virdee, Giovanni Pau, Iyad Dayoub, Chan Hwang See, Francisco Falcone

Node positioning or localization is a critical requisite for numerous position-based applications of wireless sensor network (WSN). Localization using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is preferred over localization using fixed terrestrial anchor node (FTAN) because of low implementation complexity…

Modeling of access resistances and channel temperature estimation for GaN HEMT

Shariful Islam, Mohammad Abdul Alim, Abu Zahed Chowdhury, Christophe Gaquière

Accurate prediction of resistances at the transistor’s access zone and their temperature dependency are very important, since the current flow to the device depends on that region. In this paper, we have modeled the access resistances and have verified their temperature dependency with the…

Non-Hermitian skin effect in a phononic beam based on piezoelectric feedback control

Yabin Jin, Wenxin Zhong, Runcheng Cai, Xiaoying Zhuang, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani

Non-Hermitian systems have gained a great deal of interest in various wave problems due their ability of exhibiting unprecedented phenomena such as invisibility, cloaking, enhanced sensing, or the skin effect. The latter manifests itself by the localization of all bulk modes in a specific frequency…

Electro-Acoustic Properties of Scandium-Doped Aluminum Nitride (Sc_xAl_1-xN) Material and its Application to Phononic Crystal-Coupled SAW Devices

Fahima Arab, Fares Kanouni, Rafik Serhane, Yan Pennec, Zafer Özer, Khaled Bouamama

Within the framework of the Density Functional Theory, the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric coefficients of w-ScxAl1−xN material were investigated for scandium (Sc) concentrations x = 0 to 0.375. The electro-acoustic properties are used to investigate the frequency response of the SAW delay…

Elaboration and characterization of porous ultrathin gold films grown by ion beam assisted deposition

Abdelhanin Aassime, Marc Duquennoy, Frédéric Hamouda, Tahar Kadi, Frédéric Mahut, Mohammadi Ouaftouh

The growth of ultrathin gold layers on a silicon substrate is performed with an unconventional ion beam assisted deposition. In this setup, evaporated gold flow and ion beam flux are perpendicular. 5 and 10 nm thick gold were deposited on tilted samples with the assistance of an argon ion beam at…

Application of Complex Geophysical Methods for the Detection of Unconsolidated Zones in Flood Dikes

Tomisław Gołębiowski, Bogdan Piwakowski, Michał Ćwiklik

The flood levees in the vicinity of Krakow city (Poland) are, in some places, over 100 years old. Thereupon, in the flood dike, and its subsoil, can appear unconsolidated zones, which, during the flood stage, can be a simple way of water flow and/or even can be the place where the levee body will…
