Abstract

Floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems provide an effective approach to expanding renewable-energy generation without increasing pressure on land resources. However, remote FPV installations often face limitations in communication infrastructure, making continuous monitoring and supervisory control challenges. This study develops a 3.5 GHz 4 × 2 microstrip array antenna to support Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring and satellite-oriented communication for a 20 kWp FPV system at Rawa Pening, Indonesia. The antenna was designed on an FR-4 substrate and optimized using CST Studio Suite by refining the patch geometry, feed network, and element configuration. Simulation results showed resonance at 3.502 GHz, with a return loss of −36.70 dB, VSWR of 1.13, gain of 12.96 dBi, and directivity of 15.26 dBi. Prototype measurements confirmed operation at 3.5 GHz, achieving a return loss of −13.799 dB and a VSWR of 1.513, while radiation-pattern measurements demonstrated directional characteristics suitable for long-range wireless communication. The results indicate that the proposed antenna offers a compact and practical solution for transmitting FPV operational and environmental data in locations with limited terrestrial communication infrastructure. This design provides a promising foundation for reliable FPV telemetry, remote supervision, and future hybrid terrestrial–satellite communication systems.

Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of this research is to develop a fall detection system and improve rapid emergency response or early warning systems for falls in the elderly. Methods: In this research, the waterfall method was used for image analysis to detect falls with high accuracy. We also used Raspberry Pi 3, and OpenCV3 to set up a server to receive fall detection alerts and forward them to email. Results: This system integrated a camera mounted on a Raspberry Pi 3 to continuously monitor the area captured by the camera. In the fall detection system, the results of testing with data showed that the system accuracy was 72.22%, sensitivity 72.72%, and error 27.77%. Novelty: The approach this research adopted can be used in a variety of settings, including home healthcare, elderly care facilities, or places that require safety monitoring. With this system, we hope to improve rapid response in emergency situations, thereby protecting and improving the quality of life for people in need.
