Green Electronic and RF Technologies for Communications, IoT, and Medical Systems

This book presents green electronic technologies, and their role in clean renewable energy, energy harvesting for medical devices and communication systems. It covers green computing technologies, and the lifecycle management of electronics from waste management to recycling. The topics are presented in the context of the growing need to develop green communications and medical system applications. Green Electronic and RF Technologies for Communications, IoT, and Medical Systems examine green electronic and computing practices, green devices shaping, the development of environmentally friendly medical devices and communication systems. It presents innovations in green electronic technologies and their role in energy harvesting, innovations and applications of RF technologies in the medical field and covers recycling and waste management of these electronic devices. Through examination of green electronics and clean energy needs, the book discusses electromagnetic waves and antenna theory for energy harvesting systems. It explores how these systems and antennae can be incorporated into wearable medical systems and devices, communication systems, and IoT devices. The book also covers end-of-lifecycle management of electronic devices, including appropriate disposal and recycling of electronic equipment and modules, which is crucial for maintaining a green environment. The book is intended for electrical engineers, communication engineers, biomedical engineers and researchers in green technologies. It will also be of interest to antenna systems engineers and renewable energy researchers and engineers.
