Abstract

This paper presents an N-metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS) rectifier designed for efficient radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and wireless power transmission in passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) applications. The rectifier’s efficiency is improved through an innovative diode with a new block connection, reducing the threshold voltage compared to conventional diode transistors. This enhancement significantly boosts output voltage and efficiency. A seven-stage configuration, based on the proposed diode and optimized via a superposition method, has been evaluated for its ability to increase DC output voltage and power conversion efficiency (PCE), particularly at low RF input power levels. Simulations show a PCE of 63% at 900 MHz with an RF input of -11 dBm, delivering 1.610 V across a 0.518 MΩ load. Notably, the rectifier maintains a PCE above 30% across a wide input power range from -32 dBm to -5 dBm, overcoming a key challenge of maintaining efficiency under low input power conditions. The circuit architecture was implemented using standard 180 nm TSMC CMOS technology, showcasing its practical applicability in RFID systems.

Abstract

In this paper, a proposal is made for a cryptographic algorithm designed for passive ultra-high-frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification systems. The algorithm relies on the advanced encryption standard (AES) as its fundamental encryption technique, augmented by two supplementary steps: the initial step involves generating a random key and the second is the randomization of data, this introduces an extra level of security to encryption process against attacks. The developed architecture has been optimized to minimize hardware resource consumption with faster execution speed. The algorithm has been simulated, synthesized and implemented in an xtreme digital signal processing (DSP) starter kit equipped with xilinx’s spartan-3A DSP 1800A edition and it serves the purpose of encrypting and decrypting user data on a radio frequency identification (RFID) passive tag. The main objective is to make it difficult to break the algorithm because of its multiple steps. The experimental results showed that the speed, functionality and cost of encryption and decryption make this a perfectly practical solution, providing a satisfactory level of security for today’s communications systems, or other electronic data transfer processes where security is required.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and optimization of a high-efficiency class F power amplifier (PA) for 5G communication systems. The proposed design focuses on achieving optimal efficiency, output power Pout, and stability through precise harmonic control and waveform shaping. Using advanced simulation techniques, the PA achieves a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 80%, a Pout of 40.73 dBm, and a gain of 20 dB over a 120 MHz bandwidth centered at 3.5 GHz. Stability is ensured with a stability factor of 1.5 and a stability measure of 0.8 across the operating band. The first three harmonics are effectively managed to enhance efficiency, with the drain current (IDS) shaped into a square waveform and the drain voltage (VDS) into a quasi-sinusoidal waveform. These results demonstrate the capability of the proposed class F PA to meet stringent 5G requirements, offering high performance, strong stability, and efficient operation for sub-6 GHz applications.
