This thesis explains the design of a microcontroller-based device, which provides an efficient and practical alternative for the remote reading of digital electricity meters over Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN). As an alternative application, a system is constructed providing file transfer capability to the PC connected to the port of implemented device in addition to remote reading of digital electricity meters. This thesis also provides detailed explanations about the basics of serial asynchronous communication over modem for PICs (peripheral interface controllers) together with description of each component included by the constructed system, which can be used in energy metering sector commonly.

A novel beamforming emulating photonic nanojets for wireless relay networks Alabed, Samer; Mahariq, Ibrahim; Salman, Mohammad; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2021-01-01) All rights reserved.In this article, a low-cost electromagnetic structure emulating photonic nanojets is utilized to improve the efficiency of wireless relay networks. The spectral element method, due to its high accuracy, is used to verify the efficiency of the proposed structure by solving the associate field distribution. The application of optimal single-relay selection method shows that full diversity gain with low complexity can be achieved. In this paper, the proposed technique using smart relays co...
A micro power generator with planar coils on parylene cantilevers Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Külah, Haluk (2008-06-25) In this paper an electromagnetic vibration based micro power generator is presented. The proposed generator is composed of parylene cantilevers on which planar coils are fabricated. The system uses external vibrations to generate power by virtue of the relative motion between the cantilevers and a magnet. The parameters of the micro generator have been optimized for maximum output and it has been fabricated in micro scale. Initials tests show that 8.75 mV could be obtained from the proposed generator at a v...
An electromagnetic energy harvesting system for low frequency applications with a passive interface ASIC in standard CMOS Rahimi, Arian; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2012-12-01) This paper presents a compact energy harvesting system, which consists of an electromagnetic (EM) generator converting ambient low frequency vibrations to DC voltage by using a highly efficient full-wave rectifier in a System-on-Package (Sop). Frequency Up-Conversion technique has been utilized by the in-house EM transducer to harvest energy from very low frequency vibrations (<5 Hz). The interface ASIC is a passive rectifier based on the boot-strap rectification (BSR) technique to decrease the effective th...
A monolithic phased array using 3-bit distributed RF MEMS phase shifters Topalli, Kagan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Demir, Şimşek; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-02-01) This paper presents a novel electronically scanning phased-array antenna with 128 switches monolithically implemented using RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The structure, which is designed at 15 GHz, consists of four linearly placed microstrip patch antennas, 3-bit distributed RF MEMS low-loss phase shifters, and a corporate feed network. MEMS switches and high-Q metal-air-metal capacitors are employed as loading elements in the phase shifter. The system is fabricated monolithically usi...
An Adaptable Interface Circuit With Multistage Energy Extraction for Low-Power Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting MEMS Chamanian, Salar; Ulusan, Hasan; Koyuncuoglu, Aziz; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-03-01) This paper presents a self-powered interface circuit to extract energy from ambient vibrations for powering up microelectronic devices. The circuit interfaces a piezoelectric energy harvesting micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) device to scavenge acoustic energy. Synchronous electric charge extraction (SECE) technique is deployed through the implementation of a novel multistage energy extraction (MSEE) circuit in 180 nm HV CMOS technology to harvest and store energy. The circuit is optimized to operate...
