Design and experimental analysis of beam repositioning system in microstrip patch antenna array using dumbbell shaped Defected Ground Structure (DGS) for Wireless application (2.4 GHz) was carried out in this study. For the practical application of this study phase shifters are used to control the relative position of the main-lobe direction. DGS has characteristics of disturbing current distribution which leads to phase variation. In our antenna, these dumbbell shaped DGS are engraved at different positions over the ground plane to achieve phase shifting of main-beam. The parameters of antenna such as gain reflection co-efficient, bandwidth are determined and compared with the antenna without DGS. Every position at which the dumbbell shaped DGS was placed, the radiation pattern was measured and compared among them. Further, it’s also observed that simulated antenna with DGS has the Bluetooth application in ISM short-range band.

efficiency. The simulation findings revealed that the proposed antenna resonated at 15.5 GHz, with a
return loss of -22.312 dB, a bandwidth of 2.73 GHz (2730 MHz), VSWR of 1.17, a gain of 3.843 dBi, a
directivity of 5.926 dBi, and an antenna efficiency of -2.083 dB (61.901%).
Microstrip patch antennas are the most common form

Study On The Improvement Of Bandwidth Of A Rectangular Microstrip Patch AntennaIOSR Journals
Microstrip antennas or patch antennas are popular for their attractive features such as low profile,
low weight, low cost, ease of fabrication and integration with RF devices. Micro strip antennas have been found
favorable because they are inexpensive to manufacture and compatible with monolithic microwave integrated
circuit designs (MMIC). They are usually employed at UHF and higher frequencies because the size of the
antenna is directly tied to the wavelength at the resonance frequency. A Microstrip or patch antenna is a
narrowband, wide-beam antenna fabricated by etching the antenna element pattern in metal trace bonded to an
insulating dielectric substrate with a continuous metal layer bonded to the opposite side of the substrate which
forms a ground plane. The most commonly employed microstrip antenna is a rectangular patch.
The major disadvantages of Microstrip antennas are lower gain and very narrow bandwidth. Microstrip patch
antennas have some drawbacks of low efficiency, narrow bandwidth (3-6%) of the central frequency. Millimeter
wave technology being an emerging area is still much undeveloped. As micro strip antennas have found wide
variety of application areas, a number of techniques are evolved to improve its limited bandwidth. A good
approach to improve the bandwidth is increasing the thickness of substrate supporting the micro strip patch.
However problems exist on the ability to effectively feed the patch on a thick substrate and the radiation

as its applications are numerous. The radiation patterns and S11 performance are used for the analysis of the

A survey on Energy Efficient ProtocolsLEACH, Fuzzy-based approach and Neural ...IJEEE
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) plays a very important role in transmitting the data from source to destination but energy consumption is one of the major challenges in these networks. WSN consists of hundreds to thousands of nodes which consume energy while transmitting the information and with a span of time whole energy get consumed and network life time gets reduced. Clustering and Cluster head (CH) selection are important parameters used to enhance the lifetime of the WSN. Clustering use two methods: rotating CH periodically in every round to distribute the energy consumption among nodes and the node with more residual energy becomes CH.This research paper is focused on the performance of the techniques used to enhance the energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Low- Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), Fuzzy- Based and Neural Network are some of the important techniques used. MATLAB simulation tool is considered in this paper.

Automated Air Cooled Three Level Inverter system using ArduinoIJEEE
The output voltage of a three level inverter is stepped voltage in which the output voltage have three possible values. Such systems can be used to interface renewable energy sources with the grid. Temperature has significant effect on performance of power MOSFETs. Typically, the MOSFETs used as power switches in such applications are a significant source of heat, and the heat energy dissipated by these components must be carefully controlled if operating temperatures are to be maintained. So for the system to work efficiently cooling of MOSFETs is required. This paper proposed an automated air cooled 3 level H-bridge inverter. The system consists of MOSFETs, LM 35 temperature sensor, Optocouplers for isolation. Arduino is used to control the on-off operation of fan. When temperature rises above certain level fan turns on to cool the MOSFETs.
In this work, a Split Ring Resonator (SRR) unit cell is simulated in a waveguide with electromagnetic field solver High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Analytical calculations of the inductance and capacitance have been also carried out to obtain the resonant frequencies for SRR dimensions. A comparison between calculated and simulated resonance frequencies)) is done. A good correlation between simulated and measured resonance frequencies is achieved.
In this paper, we provide the average bit error probabilities of MQAM and MPSK in the presence of log normal shadowing using Maximal Ratio Combining technique for L diversity branches. We have derived probability of density function (PDF) of received signal to noise ratio (SNR) for L diversity branches in Log Normal fadingfor Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC). We have used Fenton-Wilkinson method to estimate the parameters for a single log-normal distribution that approximates the sum of log-normal random variables (RVs).

An Approach to Speech and Iris based Multimodal Biometric SystemIJEEE
Biometrics is the science and technology of human identification and verification through the use of feature set extracted from the biological data of the individual to be recognized. Unimodal and Multimodal systems are the two modal systems which have been developed so far. Unimodal biometric systems use a single biometric trait but they face limitations in the system performance due to the presence of noise in data, interclass variations and spoof attacks. These problems can be resolved by using multimodal biometrics which rely on more than one biometric information to produce better recognition results. This paper presents an overview of the multimodal biometrics, various fusion levels used in them and suggests the use of iris and speech using score level fusion for a multimodal biometric system.
An Overview of EDFA Gain Flattening by Using Hybrid AmplifierIJEEE
Data communication systems are increasingly engrossing optical fiber communication system as the transmission paths for the information, the information is in the form of light pulses sending from one place to another through the optical fiber. Several types of optical amplifiers have been developed in optical fiber communication system to amplify the optical signals. The erbium doped fiber amplifier is one of the optical fiber amplifiers which are used for long distance communication. The most significant points in any optical amplifier design are gain and noise figure. They are connected to one another. The other optical amplifier, Raman amplifier has wide gain bandwidth. The EDFA gain spectrum has variations over 1536 to 1552 nm, therefore the gain flattening is a research issue in recent years with the development of high capacity DWDM. The gain variation becomes a problem as the number of channels increases. The gain of EDFA depends on large number of device parameters such as, Erbium ion concentration, amplifier length, core radius, pump power. Raman amplifiers can be combined with EDFAs to expand the optical gain flattened bandwidth. This paper focuses on different methods used for the gain flattening.

Design of Image Segmentation Algorithm for Autonomous Vehicle Navigationusing...IJEEE
In the past few years Autonomous vehicles have gained importance due to its widespread applications in the field of civilian and military applications. On-board camera on autonomous vehicles captures the images which need to be processed in real time using the image segmentation algorithm. On board processing of video(frames)in real time is a big challenging task as it involves extracting the information and performing the required operations for navigation.This paper proposes an approach for vision based autonomous vehicle navigation in indoor environment using the designed image segmentation algorithm. The vision based navigation is applied to autonomous vehicle and it is implemented using the Raspberry Pi camera module on Raspberry Pi Model-B+ with the designed image segmentation algorithm. The image segmentation algorithm has been built using smoothing,thresholding, morpho- logical operations, and edge detection. The reference images of directions in the path are detected by the vehicle and accordingly it moves in right or left directions or stops at destination. The vehicle finds the path from source to destination using reference directions. It first captures the video,segments the video(frame by frame), finds the edges in the segmented frame and moves accordingly. The Raspberry Pi also transmits the capture video and segmented results using the Wi-Fi to the remote system for monitoring. The autonomous vehicle is also capable of finding obstacle in its path and the detection is done using the ultrasonic sensors.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract- A Microstrip fed antenna which consists of a
rectangular patch with rectangular shaped slot incorporated
into patch is presented for ultra wide band application with
enhanced bandwidth. The proposed antenna achieves an
impedance bandwidth of 8.9GHz (2.3-11.2GHz) with
VSWR< 2 for over the entire bandwidth. Good return loss and
radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the frequency
band of interest. The proposed antenna is designed on low
cost FR-4 substrate fed by a 50-Ω microstrip line. The
simulation was performed in High Frequency Structure
Simulator Software (HFSS). The antenna parameters such as
resonant frequency, return loss, radiation pattern and VSWR
are simulated and discussed in this paper.

antenna such as the thickness of the substrate, the dielectric
constant of the substrate and the shape of the patch also

I. INTRODUCTION
The accelerating growth of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology
calls for efficient communication devices. Antennas, as an
important part of every communication system, are required to
offer characteristics such as compact size, light weight, easy
fabrication process, omni-directional radiation properties, and
wide bandwidth to be worthy of being used in UWB
systems[1]. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
allocation the unlicensed use of band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz
widely known as UWB technology and opens it for
commercial applications for short range indoor and outdoor
wireless communication [2].The UWB antenna is an
significant component of UWB communication system and
has drawn growing attention [3-5]. It is well known fact that
microstrip patch antennas offers many advantages such as low
profile, light weight, ease of fabrication and compatibility
with printed circuits. However, the serious problem of patch
antennas is their narrow bandwidth. To overcome their
inherent limitations of narrow impedance bandwidth many
techniques have been proposed and investigated, for example,
slotted patch antennas [6 - 8], microstrip patch antennas on
electrically thick substrate, gap coupled patches, the use of
various impedance matching and feeding techniques [9-10].
However, simultaneously bandwidth enhancement and size
reduction are becoming major design considerations for
practical applications of microstrip antennas as improvement
of one of the characteristics, normally results in degradation
of the other, researchers have encountered that there is
generally a tradeoff between size of antenna and wideband
characteristics of antenna. In recent years, many techniques
have been reported to achieve wideband patch antenna for
modern wireless communication devices [11].
II. ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND DESIGN
The three essential parameters for the design of a rectangular
microstrip patch antenna are:
Frequency of operation ( 0f ): The resonant frequency of the
antenna must be selected appropriately. The resonant
frequency selected for design is 7.5 GHz.
Dielectric constant of the substrate ( r ): The dielectric
material selected for the design is FR4-epoxy which has a
dielectric constant of 4.4. A substrate with a high dielectric
constant reduces the dimensions of the antenna.
Height of dielectric substrate (h): For the microstrip patch
antenna it is essential that the antenna is not bulky. Hence, the
height of the dielectric substrate is selected as 1.5mm.
The design parameters that are assumed and evaluated are
shown in Fig.1 as below:

Substituting the values, the length extension (ΔL) is obtained
as: ΔL=.6mm
Step 5: Calculation of Actual Length of Patch (L): The actual
length of the antenna can be calculated [12] as:
L = L − 2 × ∆L (5)
Substituting Leff =10.2mm and ∆L=0.6mm the actual length
come out to be: L=9mm
III. PARAMETERS OF RECTANGULAR SLOT
ANTENNA
In this section parameters of a rectangular slot antenna has
been discussed which is printed on a dielectric substrate of
FR4 with relative permittivity (εr) of 4.4. The fig 2 shows the
patch with finite ground plane. The length of ground plane Lg
is determined using parametric analysis and its optimum value
is found to be 7.5mm.

Table 1 Parameters of Rectangular Slot Patch Antenna
The length Lg has a very important role in controlling the
coupling between ground plane and patch. This coupling
causes to spread of the impedance bandwidth and hence must
be accurately measured. The various parameters of the patch
antenna which includes shape of the patch , dielectric used,
length and width of the patch ,thickness of patch and length
and width of the slot as shown in table 1.
IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION OF RECTANGULAR
SLOT PATCH ANTENNA
The return loss, VSWR and gain of the proposed antenna is
shown in Fig 3 (a, b, c) respectively. The discussed design
achieves the return loss of -17.67dB and the bandwidth of 8.9
GHz (2.3- 11.2GHz) and corresponding VSWR is < 2 for
entire bandwidth range. Simulated results show that the
proposed antenna could be a good candidate for UWB
applications.

WIDEBAND MICROSTRIP ANTENNA
(a)Effect of variation in substrate thickness on the bandwidth
of the antenna
Table 2 Comparison of Different Substrate Thicknesses
It is known that the easiest way to increase the bandwidth of a
microstrip antenna is to print the antenna on a thicker
substrate. Fig 4(a) and table 2 show that as the thickness of the
substrate increases the bandwidth increases and as the
thickness of the substrate decreases the bandwidth decreases.
Fig 4(a) Effect of the Substrate Height on the Bandwidth of the
Antenna
However, thick substrates tend to trap surface wave modes,
especially if the dielectric constant of the substrate is high. In
addition, longer coaxial probe feeds will experience high
inductive feed effects. Finally, if the substrate is very thick,
radiating modes higher than the fundamental will be excited
[13]. All of these effects degrade the primary radiator, cause
pattern distortion, and detune the input impedance of the
microstrip antenna.

Table 3 Comparison of Different Substrate Materials
As it can be analyzed from the fig 4(b) and table 3 which
shows that as the dielectric constant decreases than bandwidth
increases and as the dielectric constant increases than
bandwidth decreases. However, this has detrimental effects on
antenna size reduction since the resonant length of a
microstrip antenna is shorter for higher substrate dielectric
constant. In addition, this antenna can easily be used in other
frequency bands with different substrate materials [13].
(c) Effect of variation in slot length and width on the
bandwidth of the antenna
Fig 4(c) Effect of The Variation in Slot Length And Width on The
Bandwidth of The Antenna
Table 4 Comparison f Different Slot Length and Width
It can be seen from the fig (c) and table 4, which shows that
the variation of slot length L1 and slot width W1 effect
bandwidth and return loss of the antenna. When L1 and W1 is
(4*9) then bandwidth is increases but return loss is very less
and when L1 and W1 is (6*9) then both bandwidth and return
loss is decreases as compared with (5*8) slot length and
width.
V. CONCLUSION
This paper has proposed a simple design of patch antenna
having a UWB range for communication. In the design a slot
is incorporated into the rectangular patch to expand its
bandwidth and to reduce the size of antenna .The designed
antenna is very simple in look and small in size . Simulation
results show that the antenna has VSWR < 2 from 2.3- 11.2
GHz and bandwidth of antenna is 8.9GHz .The antenna
parameters such as return loss, VSWR, impedance bandwidth,
gain have been studied. Simulated results of antenna show
that the proposed antenna could be a good candidate for UWB
application. The effects of the substrate thickness, the
dielectric constant of the substrate and variation in slot
position on the bandwidth have been studied. It has been
found that, in order to obtain a wideband microstrip patch
antenna with good efficiency, a thick substrate with a very
low dielectric constant should be used. It has also been shown
that these antennas can easily be used in other frequency
bands with different substrate materials.
