In this research paper, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) was proposed as a technique by
realizing bilateral edge walls to produce a compact 5G beam-steering antenna at 24 GHz. The beam
forming network is produced using SIW directional coupler perform as 2×2 Butler Matrix (BM) fed with SIW
slotted waveguide antenna array. The output signal is steered from -29 degrees and +29 degrees when
the signal is fed to the respective input ports. If one of the input ports is fed, the signal is evenly distributed
between the adjacent output ports with 90 degree constant phase shift. The compact size of directional
coupler was designed by longitude slots on the surface of SIW substrate with bandwith of 16.85% at the
operating frequency. The proposed antenna produce gain of 6.34 dB at operating frequency and the
promising outcome of the beam steering make proposed design suitable for 5G communications especially

ABSTRACT
A triple rectangular slotted microstrip patch antenna is designed and investigated with and without slot using CST Software. By using the triple rectangular shaped slot the designed antenna operates at 2.4GHz (ranging from 2.3704 GHz (Gigahertz) to 2.4391 GHz at -10dB return loss) for WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and 3.6GHz (ranging from 3.5643 GHz to 3.6548 GHz at -10dB return loss) for WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) applications having a maximum return loss -28.5dB and -25.4dB respectively. For the design of this antenna we have chosen FR-4 (lossy) as substrate having permittivity 4.3. The designed antenna has appreciable values of gain and directivity at both the frequencies. The proposed antenna works on the principle of excitation of the slots at the operating frequencies. The antenna was designed keeping in mind the two major Wireless standards i.e., WLAN and WiMAX bands of frequencies. The proposed triple-rectangular slots are unique in terms of its construction and have appreciable results at the operating frequencies.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

fed by 50 SMA connector placed under the etched ground plane of the antenna. The
properties of the antenna such as return loss, radiation patterns, directivity and gain are
determined via a simulation process using CST (Computer Simulation Technology)
Microwave Studio Software.
Printed rectangular monopole antenna can be optimizing to provide extremely wide
impedance bandwidths with acceptable radiation performance. They can be developed to
cover several operating frequency bands of wireless communication from GSM900: 890-960
MHz, DCS: 1.71-1.88 GHz, Personal Communication System (PCS 1.85-1.99 GHz,
Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS 1.92-2.17 GHZ), IMT-2000 [3-5].
CST MICROWAVE STUDIO is a fully featured software package for electromagnetic
analysis and design in the high frequency range. The software contains four different
simulation techniques (transient solver, frequency domain solver, Eigen mode solver, modal
analysis solver) which best fit their particular applications. The most flexible tool is the
transient solver, which can obtain the entire broadband frequency behaviour of the simulated
device from only one calculation run (in contrast to the frequency stepping approach of many
other simulators). This solver is very efficient for most kinds of high frequency applications
such as connectors, transmission lines, filters, antennas and many more.
This antenna provides impedance bandwidth of 1.11 GHz range from 1.06 GHz to 2.17
GHz for a use in a L- frequency band due to the etched ground plane [6] which is applicable
in the Global Positioning System Carriers, telecommunications for use in GSM mobile
phones operate at 800–900 and 1800–1900 MHz. Presently there are many other government
and commercial applications such as mobile radio and wireless communications.
II. ANTENNA DESIGN
The rectangular monopole antenna with truncated corners is printed on the one side of the
FR4 lossy substrate and the ground plane is located on the other side of the substrate. The
proposed design of the antenna is printed at a length of 27.2 mm and width of 3 mm feeding
strip from the one side of the substrate.

The result of the proposed fabricared PRMA are measured with the help of spectrum
analyser. The figure 5 shows the comparison between the return loss of the simulated result
by CST and measured result of the fabricated PRMA by using spectrum analyser. From the
figure 5, it is clearly shown that the return loss of the proposed fabricated PRMA is better
than the simulated response. Also a fabricated bandwidth of 1.324 GHz is greater than the
simulated bandwidth of 1.105 GHz of the proposed antenna.

Figure 5: Compare the simulated and measured return loss of the proposed PRMA.
In this antenna structure, some portion of the ground plane is etched and feed gap which is
the space between the feeding strip and the ground plane is existed the substrate. The value of
feeding gap varies from 3.7 to 6.7 mm and their corresponding data (simulated results) are
listed in the Table 2 and Table 3 for comparison with all the remaining parameters of the
proposed antenna are same as the design. The value of feed gap for both cases was optimized
to obtain improved bandwidth by using CST software. Firstly, the variation is produced in the
value of feed gap by varying the space between the etched ground plane and the feeding strip.
The different lower frequencies and upper frequencies are studied in the Table 2, which
shows that feed gap is a frequency dependent parameter. Also figure 6 shows the effects of
feed gap on the simulated return loss of the proposed PRMA.

Secondly, the value of feed gap is also varied due to change in the length of the etched
ground plane. The change in the lower frequencies and higher frequencies (simulated values)
was obtained by variation in the feed gap values is studied in the Table 3and figure 7 shows
the simulated return loss of the proposed PRMA with variation in the feed gap which shows a
response and bandwidth of the antenna is a function of feeding gap.

It is noted from the data of table 2 and table 3 that the bandwidth of the antenna is
monotonically decreases due to the increment in the length of feed gap from about 1.160 –
1.082 GHz and 1.2 GHz – 1.071 GHz in the range 3.7 – 7.7 mm feed gap respectively.
Variation of feed gap with bandwidth of the proposed PRMA antenna is also plotted in the
figure 8.

Figure 8: Variation of feed gap with bandwidth of the proposed PRMA
The radiation pattern of the proposed PRMA with truncated corners on each corner and T-
shaped slot at a frequency 1.94 GHz is shown in the figure 9. The radiation efficiency,
directivity and gain of the proposed antenna is 97.16 %, 3.809 dBi and 3.684 dB respectively.
Figure 9: 3D view of the proposed PRMA at 1.94 GHz
The directivity (dBi) and gain (dB) of the proposed PRMA antenna in the frequency range 0-
3 GHz is shown in the figure 10. For frequencies upto about 3 GHz, it is seen that the antenna
gain in randomly increases from about 1.67 to 4.62 dB and directivity of antenna is
monotonically increases from about 1.83 to 4.95 dBi with the increase in the frequency.

IV. CONCLUSION
Configuration of printed rectangular monopole antenna with truncated corners on each corner
and a T-shaped slot in the middle of the rectangular monopole on the FR4 lossy substrate
with the etched ground plane has been investigated for the L frequency band and difference
of improved bandwidth between simulated and analysed result is 219 MHz. i.e. after
analysing measured result it has been observed that the increment in bandwidth is 219 MHz
compared to simulated result. It is also investigated that feed gap is a frequency dependent
parameter which effects the bandwidth of the antenna (as feed gap length increases, the
bandwidth of antenna decreases). Simulation results have been verified with experiments
with good agreement.
