AN ELECTRIC CIRCUITS' REMOTE SWITCHING SYSTEM BASED ON GSM RADIO NETWORK

Mobile phone industry is classified among the fastest growing engineering branches. It has to be exploited for vast applications, reliability and affordability. Mobile cellular phone subscribers have reached saturation point; with such information, the basic cell phone that was mainly utilized to make calls will also be utilized for remote switching and control activities. The now developed system is based on the global system for mobile communications (GSM) radio network: it will operate as a very long distance remote switch. Utilizing the daily cell phone, a user will either put on/off any desired electric circuit located in an owned, controlled compound. Two cell phones are provided, one being a mobile transmitter user end and another being referred to as a fixed receiver end. A signal will be sent from the user end to put a consumer’s electric circuit either on or off at the receiver end; afterwards, the receiver end will notify the user-end about the on/off state of the consumer. The particularity of this publication is the system simplicity, yet cheap and safe, so that even very low income cell phone users can enjoy radio frequency (RF) technology’s increasing applications. The software utilized to develop and simulate circuits is the linear technology, LT spice. The calculative theory has quantitatively enriched the methodology. Both the building blocks and the physical implementation diagrams for the system are herein contained. The remote switching system based on GSM radio network has been successfully designed, implemented, tested and its functionality has been examined.

Design of Voltage Regulator for Voltage Monitoring

In this paper, we present a CMOS voltage regulator for application in electric device. This works shows that unlike the traditional voltage converter, this regulator can achieve high efficiency with a good step-down voltage ratio. The circuits which are implemented in this paper is simulated with LT SPICE tool of computer.

Design and Implementation of Flyback Converter for Electrical Discharge Machining Power Generator

Electrical Discharge Machining process has been widely used for manufacturing micro components due to its contactless process. Its application has also been introduced in machining micro pits on hip implant. In this paper, a new design of power generator is proposed in order to reduce micro crack while machining take place. Flyback Switch Mode Power Supply has been chosen because of its high efficiency. The simulation of Flyback converter using LT Spice is presented. The result shows that the system achieves 95.9% of efficiency. Experimental results show that flyback converter able to produce DC voltage up to 111.6 V.

A Monolithic Implementation of Active Inductor VLQC and Jitter Free Photon Current Detection for Bio-Luminescence SPAD Sensor

An active inductor variable load quenching circuit monolithically implemented for sensing chlorophyll fluorescence and other sensor applications like bioluminescence, tomography, and DNA fingerprints is reported for the first time in this paper. An efficient biosignal acquisition with single-photon counting facility and fast quenching and reset for Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) is implemented in 120 nm technology. This is the first ever monolithic active inductor implementation reported for quenching and reset of SPAD pixel. It is faster compared to all previously reported AQRC and variable load quenching circuit (VLQC) monolithic implementations. Along with the principle, a detailed design is presented in 120 nm technology. Analog simulations are done using LT Spice version IV and layout is primed using Microwind 3.1. The results reveals that a 50 ps light pulse with 250 ps dead time, i.e., light pulse with repetition rate of 300 ps can be quenched and detected.
