Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) is a channel access method where the available bandwidth is divided into multiple non-overlapping frequency bands and each user is assigned a specific frequency band. Each user can transmit or receive independently in its assigned frequency band without interference from other users. FDMA requires expensive bandpass filters for each frequency band and has strict linearity requirements for the transmission medium. The number of channels in an FDMA system is calculated by dividing the total available bandwidth minus the guard bands by the bandwidth of each individual channel.

An antenna array consists of multiple spatially separated antenna elements that can be combined to improve performance over a single antenna. Antenna arrays allow for high gain, steerable beams, diversity reception, interference cancellation, and direction finding. The performance of an antenna array improves as more elements are added. Additionally, increasing the element spacing provides higher directivity, but the spacing must remain below half the wavelength to avoid grating lobes. Phased arrays use differences in phase between element signals to steer the beam electronically without mechanical movement. This allows for rapid scanning compared to mechanical antennas.
An antenna converts electric power into radio waves and vice versa. There are two main categories of antennas - omnidirectional antennas that radiate in all directions, and directional antennas that preferentially radiate in a particular direction. Key parameters that define antennas include frequency, directivity, efficiency, gain, wavelength, and polarization. Common types of antennas discussed are Yagi antennas, log-periodic antennas, horn antennas, loop antennas, and parabolic antennas.
TDMA divides the radio spectrum into time slots and allows only one user to transmit or receive data during each time slot. It uses a buffer-and-burst transmission method, making it well-suited for digital systems. TDMA systems employ TDMA/TDD or TDMA/FDD for duplexing and multiple access. A TDMA frame includes a preamble for identification and synchronization, and multiple time slots containing user data, trail bits, and guard bits between slots. TDMA provides high transmission rates, simpler handoff, and is more cost-effective than FDMA, though it requires minimum guard times between slots to avoid interference.

Smart Antenna Report for third year Electronics and Communication Students .
Smart Antenna is a really nice topic to discover and present for third year students of electronics and communication engineering branch. So this Report covers it all .
Beamforming antennas use an array of antennas to transmit radio signals in a targeted direction rather than broadcasting uniformly. They can concentrate signals into beams through adjusting the phase and amplitude of each antenna (analog beamforming) or processing multiple data streams digitally. Beamforming is commonly used in 5G networks using massive MIMO antennas to improve efficiency and data rates. Testing beamforming antennas presents challenges due to the integration of radio and antenna units, requiring evaluation of more parameters over-the-air rather than just in conducted tests. Standardized test methods include using anechoic chambers, compact antenna test ranges, and plane wave synthesizers to simulate far-field conditions.
The document discusses the evolution of smart antennas from omnidirectional antennas to more advanced technologies. It describes how early cellular systems used omnidirectional antennas that radiated energy in all directions, reducing efficiency. To increase capacity, cells were subdivided through techniques like cell splitting and sectorization using directional antennas. However, smart antennas further improved capacity by dynamically adjusting antenna patterns using switched beams or adaptive arrays to focus on users and suppress interference. This allows techniques like SDMA that can serve multiple users per channel. The document outlines benefits of smart antennas but also notes their increased complexity over traditional antennas. It discusses research on applying smart antenna concepts to mobile devices.
Design and simulation of an adaptive beam smart antenna using MATLABnooriasukmaningtyas
Signals transmitted over a long range of distance may pass through several obstacles and scatter, taking multiple paths to reach the receiver. Beamforming antennas are controlled electronically to adjust the radiation pattern following the first received signal. This allows the antenna to maximize the received signal and consequently, suppress the interfering signals received. A smart antenna should be able to diminish noise, increase the signal to noise ratio, and have better system competence. The adaptive beam makes use of the spacing of the several antennas and the phase of the signal of each antenna array to control the shape and direction of the signal beam. This paper focuses on the use of smart antennas using an adaptive beam method as a better system for the transmission of signals. A simulation between the existing Omnidirectional antenna system and the smart antenna system will be made and compared. The paper will discuss the corresponding advantages that a smart antenna system has compared to the Omnidirectional antenna system.

It discusses previous drawbacks like multipath fading, co-channel interference, and Doppler effects that smart antennas aim to overcome. Smart antennas estimate the direction of arrival of signals using techniques like MUSIC algorithms.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

3. HISTORY
1. The German inventor and physicist Karl F. Braun demonstrated beamforming for the first time in 1905.
2. The Smart Antenna was developed for “Military Communications” and “Intelligence gathering”.
3. New opportunities were created for smart antenna in the year 1990 by satellite broadcasting industries.
4. INTRODUCTION
Antenna is electrical device which converted electric power into electromagnetic waves.
A smart Antenna consist of an antenna array, that changes the array pattern in response to signal environment to
improve the performance of a communication channel.
Smart antenna is not smart, it is the digital signal processing, along with the antennas, which makes the system
smart.
6. WHY WE NEED THIS SMART ANTENNA
1. Regular antenna(omnidirectional): generates beams in all directions.
2. Having directional pattern in orthogonal plane and non-directional pattern in given plane.
3. Smart antenna: adaptive antenna utilizes adaptive DSP based techniques and digital technology.
7. FUNCTIONING OF SMART ANTENNA
1. Estimation of Direction of arrival (DOA)
2. Beamforming Method
8. 1. ESTIMATION OF DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL (DOA)
In smart antennas various techniques like MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) and estimation of signal parameters
via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) algorithms are used to find the DOA of a signal.
9. 2. BEAMFORMING METHOD
The mobiles or targets at which the signals are to be sent are first sought out and then a radiation pattern of the
antenna array is created by adding the signal phases. At the same time the mobiles which will not need the signal will
be out of pattern
12. ADAPTIVE ARRAY ANTENNAS
Has become a core system component in future generation mobile networks.
Adaptive array allow the antenna to steer the beam to any direction of interest while simultaneously
nulling interfering signals.
This antennas can track and locate signal
13. SWITCHED BEAM ARRAY ANTENNAS
They have several available fixed beam patterns.
Decision has to be made which beam has to be access at any given point of time.
Overall goal of the switched beam system is to increase gain according to the location of user.

15. ADVANTAGES OF SMART ANTENNA SYSTEM:
1. It improves the wireless system performance.
2. It is economic for a large range of potential users.
3. It increases in signal quality, capacity as well as the coverage.
4. It is now possible to multiple channels in spatial dimension.
