“…It is possible to provide minimal latency, high bandwidth, and reliable communication for medical service. 28,29 There was no telecommunication error nor network delay that might interfere with operation procedures in these 12 cases. When communication failure occurs, surgeons on the patient side can also complete the robot-assisted spinal surgery without a remote control.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and feasibility of 5th generation wireless systems (5G) telerobotic spinal surgery in our first 12 cases. Methods: A total of 12 patients (5 males, 7 females; age, 23-71 years) with spinal disorders (4 thoracolumbar fractures, 6 lumbar spondylolisthesis, 2 lumbar stenosis) were treated with 5G telerobotic spinal surgery. Sixty-two pedicle screws were implanted. Results: All patients had substantial relief from their symptoms. Screw placements were classified using Gertzbein-Robbins criteria. There were 59 grade A, 3 grade B. Mean operation time was 142.5 ± 46.7 minutes. Mean guiding wire insertion time was 41.3 ± 9.8 minutes. The deviation between the planned and actual positions was 0.76 ± 0.49 mm. No intraoperative adverse event was found. Conclusion: 5G remote robot-assisted spinal surgery is accurate and reliable. We conclude that 5G telerobotic spinal surgery is both efficacious and feasible for the management of spinal diseases with safety.

Broadband amplifiers are essential building blocks used in high data rate wireless, radar, and instrumentation systems, as well as in optical communication systems. Only a traveling-wave amplifier (TWA) provides sufficient bandwidth for broadband applications without reducing modern linearization techniques. TWA requires gate-line and drain-line termination, which can be implemented on- and off-chip. This article compares the performance of identical 0.13 μm CMOS TWAs, differing only in gate-line termination placement. Measurement results revealed that the designed TWAs with on- and off-chip termination have a bandwidth of 10 GHz with a maximum gain of 15 dB and a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 5%–22% in the whole operating frequency range. Placing the gate-line termination off-chip results in an S21 flatness reduction, compared to the gain of a TWA with on-chip termination. Gain fluctuation over frequency is reduced by 4–8 dB when the termination resistor is placed as an external circuit.

“…In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have played a critical role in various technical fields, such as warfare systems, security and surveillance, structural health monitoring, unmanned delivery, agricultural applications, and communication applications [1][2][3][4][5]. Typically, drones have been used widely more than ever in a variety of industries, with the increasing demand for drone-based sensors and radars, drone-based aerial base stations, autonomous drones for emergency response, and so on [6][7][8][9][10]. Since UAV applications, including drones, require a compact antenna system due to their weight limit, an optimal antenna structure for UAVs must be studied.…”

Compact Switched-Beam Array Antenna with a Butler Matrix and a Folded Ground Structure

A compact switched-beam array antenna, based on a switched Butler matrix with four folded ground antennas, is presented for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. The folded ground structure, including a slotted patch radiator surrounded by multiple air-gapped ground layers, is adopted to maximize compactness. The extra ground layers provide extra capacitive coupling around the patch antenna, resulting in a down-shift of resonant frequency and a reduction in the antenna size. Also, to optimize aerial operation with a wider beam coverage, the 1 × 4 array is integrated with a switched Butler matrix controlled by a microcontroller unit (MCU). The choice of the Butler matrix reduces the complexity of beamforming circuitry and avoids the use of high-cost phase shifters requiring extra control-bit signals. Further, the array antenna is optimized for high isolation among the antenna ports and a minimal UAV body effect. Then, the proposed structure was verified at 1.96 GHz for test purposes only, and the array size, excluding the antenna case, was 2.16λo × 0.54λo × 0.07λo. The measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth for all antenna elements in the array was always better than 3.4%, and the isolation among the antenna ports was also better than 19 dB. The measured peak gain, excluding the loss of the switched Butler module, was about 9.98 dBi, on average. Lastly, the measured peak scan angles were observed at −39°, −17°, 9° and 31° according to switching modes.
