• A low power oscillator based temperature sensor for RFID applications 

      Mohamad, Saqib; Tang, Fang; Amira, Abbes; Bermak, Amine; Benammar, Mohieddine ( IEEE Computer Society , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      In this paper we present a temperature sensor based on a ring oscillator. The ring oscillator uses the CMOS thyristor delay element and has an extremely low power consumption of about 47nW at room temperature with a supply ...

      Presence of toxic gases and accidental explosions in gas industries have turned the researcher to innovate an electronic nose system which can indicate the nature and the parameters of the gas passing through different ...
    • A low power temperature sensor based on a voltage to time converter cell 

      Mohamad, Saqib; Fang Tang; Bermak, Amine; Amira, Abbes; Benammar, Mohieddine ( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      In this paper we propose a temperature sensor, based on a voltage to time converter cell (VTC). A VTC is frequently employed in time to digital converters for generating a delay that is proportional to the input voltage. ...
    • A multi-sensing reconfigurable platform for gas applications 

      Akbar, Muhammad Ali; Ali, Amin Ait Si; Amira, Abbes; Benammar, Mohieddine; Bensaali, Faycal; ... more authors ( IEEE , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      The production of hazardous gases due to different physicochemical reactions in gas industries have raised the need of autonomous sensor tag. However the adaptation of remotely controlled sensor tag is still suffering with ...
    • EPC Gen-2 UHF RFID tags with low-power CMOS temperature sensor suitable for gas applications 

      Zgaren, Mohamed; Mohamad, Saqib; Amira, Abbes; Sawan, Mohamad ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents a passive RFID tag with an embedded temperature sensor intended for the EPC Gen-2 protocol operating in the 902-928 MHz ISM band. The design is implemented as a node of a low cost temperature sensors ...
