A team of faculty members and research students from the Department of Electrical Engineering announced the successful lab evaluation of their latest IoT in-house developed chip. The design involved advanced 65nm RFCMOS technology by Global Foundries. The design stands out as a breakthrough in energy harvesting high-efficiency electronic systems with best in class highest reported efficiency. The developed harvesting system can be used in applications including IoT sensors and smart autonomous systems for many industrial applications. The project was sponsored by Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) over the past three years with a grant totalling AED 1.1 Million. This work was recently published in the IEEE ACCESS Journal:
