“…So, fiber optic accelerometers have attracted an increasing attention in recent years. Many accelerometers based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) have been reported [3][4][5][6]. But for a FBG with wavelength of 1550 nm, the typical temperature and strain sensitivity is $10 pm/ C and $1 pm/lstrain, respectively.…”

“…UWB radio can carry large amount of data over a long distance at very low power consumption [1, 2]. Moreover, this technology has the ability to carry signals and penetrate walls and other obstacles that may reflect signals at more limited bandwidths and a higher power [3]. In 2002, Federal Communication Commission [4] released permission for commercial use of the frequency band from 3.1 to 10.6GHz for radar, positioning and data transmission.…”

Measuring activity in the operating theatre is a difficult but important task. Using ultra wideband active RFID tags (UWB) we were able to track and Anesthetist and anesthetic technician during a simulated operation. A number of parameters were calculated including gaze direction, distance travelled and separation were calculated. Some characteristic movements were identified, including head and torso rotation. Ultra wideband RFID may form part of a suite of sensors that can begin to identify activity during operations.

“…Therefore the antenna should be integrated with a low-noise amplifier. As a very common application of UWB systems, RFID (radio frequency identification) [2,3] is a technology that facilitates the tracking of objects, primarily for inventory tracking. RFID could improve business processes such as inventory management and efficiency in supply chain management.…”

This paper describes the implementation of an active integrated spiral antenna for UWB (Ultra-Wideband) applications. By integrating a low-noise amplifier with antenna, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) can be kept low for a large bandwidth, resulting in an improved spiral antenna performance for UWB. For the designed circuit in the UWB frequency range (3.1-10.6 GHz), the gain of the LNA is better than 13dB, its noise figure is less than 3dB, S11 and S22 are less than -13dB, respectively.
