Drinking water is becoming increasingly scarce as the world’s population grows and climate change continues. However, there is great potential to improve drinking water pipelines, as 30% of fresh water is lost between the supplier and consumer....

Biologging refers to the use of animal-borne recording devices to study wildlife behavior. In the case of audio recording, such devices generate large amounts of data over several months, and thus require some level of processing automation for the r...

This paper presents a systematic approach to extract electrical equivalent circuit model (ECM) parameters of the Li-ion battery (LIB) based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Particularly, the proposed approach is suitable to practical...

The application of the flipped voltage follower to implement two high-performance circuits is presented: (1) The first is a class AB cascode flipped voltage follower that shows an improved slew rate and an improved bandwidth by very large factors and...

This paper presents a novel inductorless dual-mode buck-boost charge pump (CP) based DC-DC converter. The proposed architecture allows the same circuit to accomplish two modes of operation, buck and boost, for degrading or elevating the output voltag...

In considering projections that flooding will increase in the future years due to factors such as climate change and urbanization, the need for dependable and accurate water sensors systems is greater than ever. In this study, the performance of four...

This is the first review of conductive electrets (unpoled carbons and metals), which provide a new avenue for low-power electronics. The electret provides low DC voltage (μV) while allowing low DC current (μA) to pass through. Ohm’s Law i...

This work presents a two-stage operational transconductance amplifier suitable for sub-1 V operation. This characteristic is achieved thanks to the adoption of a bulk-driven non-tailed differential pair. Local positive feedback is exploited to boost...

This paper deals with the design, analysis, and implementation of a Ka-band, single-stage, quasi-inverse class F power amplifier (PA). A detailed methodology for the evaluation of the active device’s output capacitance is described, enabling th...
