This paper presents verification of multiband characteristics of a circularly shaped iterative fractal antenna with increasing number of fractal iterations. The four numbers of iterations are considered for this study. Also, the miniaturization characteristics of the fractal antenna with increasing number of fractal iterations have been studied. The proposed 4 th iterated fractal antenna is designed on FR4 substrate (h = 1.56 mm and εr = 4.3). The antenna is coaxially fed using surface mount adapter. The proposed circularly shaped fractal antenna is found to resonate at four centre frequencies such as 0.683 GHz, 0.97 GHz, 1.29 GHz, and 1.68 GHz. The antenna finds applications in various compact multiband wireless communications due its smaller size , low cross polarization and multiband behaviour.

Novel High-Gain Narrowband Waveguide-Fed Filtenna using Genetic Algorithm Yayah Zakaria
Filtenna is an antenna with filtering feature. There are many ways to design a filtenna. In this paper, a high-gain narrowband waveguide-fed aperture filtenna has been proposed and designed. A patterned plane, which is designed using genetic algorithm has been used at the open end of the waveguide fed, mounted on a conducting ground plane. To design the patterned pattern, magnetic field integral equation of the structure has been derived, so it has been solved using method of moments. The proposed filtenna has been simulated with HFSS that confirms the results obtained by method of moments. Finally, an unprinted dielectric as a superstrate has been used to enhance the gain of the filtenna. The filtenna bandwidth is 1.76% (160 MHz) which has the gain of 15.91 dB at the central frequency
of 9.45 GHz.

DESIGN OF TRIPLE-BAND CPW FED CIRCULAR FRACTAL ANTENNA IJCI JOURNAL
A novel miniaturized circular fractal antenna is designed by inscribing circular slot on rectangular ground plane and successively forming circular rings connected by semi-circles for circular-fractal patch. Novel modified Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) is used as feed for fractal circular patch. The analysis of parametric variations is performed by consecutive fractal iterations, varying the radius of inscribed circle of ground plane, slots and different ground plane configurations. To further enhance gain and radiation pattern a dual inverted L slots is included in ground plane. From the results it is evident that, the proposed fractal antenna possesses triple bands at 1.8GHz, 3.5GHz and 5.5GHz. These bands are used in Digital Communication Systems (DCS) (1.8GHz), IEEE 802.16d fixed WiMAX (3.5GHz) and IEEE 802.11a WLAN (5.5GHz) applications.
Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

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
This paper presents verification of multiband characteristics of a circularly shaped iterative fractal
antenna with increasing number of fractal iterations. The four numbers of iterations are considered for
this study. Also, the miniaturization characteristics of the fractal antenna with increasing number of
fractal iterations have been studied. The proposed 4th
iterated fractal antenna is designed on FR4
substrate (h = 1.56 mm and εr = 4.3). The antenna is coaxially fed using surface mount adapter. The
proposed circularly shaped fractal antenna is found to resonate at four centre frequencies such as 0.683
GHz, 0.97 GHz, 1.29 GHz, and 1.68 GHz. The antenna finds applications in various compact multiband
wireless communications due its smaller size , low cross polarization and multiband behaviour.

1. INTRODUCTION
Multiband antennas have wide-spread its importance in wireless communication due to
increasing demands for multichannel communication. Iterative multiband antennas are easy to
design and capable of providing hardware lock by separation among the various bands.
Advancement in wireless technologies enable various generations (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G) of
pocket based wireless communication those need compact antennas. Fractal patch antennas are
capable of providing multiband characteristics as well as compactness. Fractal is known as
fractus in Latin language to mean “broken” or “fractured” geometry. “A fractal is a rough or
fragmented geometric shape that can be splitted into parts, each of which is (at least
approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole” [1]. Around 1975, B. Mandelbrot has
reported existence of non-Euclidean geometries called as fractal and its use in many natural
findings. A fractal is an integral part of nature and has applications in antennas for multiband
wireless communication. The self similarity and space filling property in fractal can achieve
multiband and miniaturization characteristics in antennas. Several fractal antennas have been
reported for compact and multiband applications [1]-[16]. For faster wireless communication,
bandwidth in multiband also needs to be appropriate to exploit the available data rate in various
generations. Therefore, bandwidth enhancement becomes necessary, when bandwidth available
in multiband antenna is narrow. There are many known methods reported in the literatures [5],
[8]-[9] to enhance the antenna bandwidth those include design of the antenna with log-periodic
profile, use of a low dielectric substrate, increase of the substrate thickness, use of travelling-
wave topologies, use of efficient impedance matching and feeding techniques, use of multiple
resonators and slot antenna geometry. The field pattern of an antenna and its control is second
important parameter for effective wireless transmission and reception. The shape of the field

pattern and its control can be easily designed using array techniques [7]. There are different
types of arrays based on excitation amplitude level and phase, spacing between the array
element and arrangement of array elements. These are uniform / non-uniform amplitude array,
uniform / non-uniform spaced array, phase scanning array, end-fire array, broadside array,
linear, circular, rectangular, random array etc based on the arrangement of the array elements.
Arrays are also capable of gain enhancement. Fractal antenna can serve as an element of an
array [7].
This work has verified the resonant behavior of the iterative fractal patch antenna reported in
[5], [8] and [11] fabricated on FR4 substrate for multiband communication using simulation and
measurement technique. Also, this work has shown the lower frequency shift in various iteration
of fractal antenna compared to their conventional counterpart.
2. DESIGN OF ANTENNA
The proposed antenna design has been reported by Y. B. Thakare etal. in [5], [8] and [11] and is
discussed below.
The design of the proposed antenna requires i. design of a conventional circular patch of 80 mm
major axis dimension with major to minor axis ratio 0.98 (Fig. 1a) and ii. loading the
conventional patch with a multi-triangular slot at 4th
iteration depth to design the fourth iterated
proposed antenna. For loading multi-triangular slot, i. first generates four equilateral triangular
slot of dimension 66 mm with its vertex at 00
, 900
1800
and 2700
in the conventional patch in
four steps as shown in Fig. 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e known as 1st
iteration fractal patch. ii. using this
fractal patch and a scale down factor of 0.7125 generate 4th
iterated proposed fractal patch as
shown in Fig.1h to design the proposed fractal antenna shown in Fig. 1i. Enough care must be
taken to electrically connect inner boundary of larger patch with the outer boundary of smaller
patch as shown in Fig. 1f. The design dimensions are given in Fig. 1i. The proposed antenna is
fabricated using on FR4 (εr = 4.3, h=1.56 mm) substrate of area 110 mm x 110 mm backed by
ground and probe fed at X= -24.85 mm and Y= 24.32 mm using 50 Ω connector as shown in
Fig. 2. This feed point is optimized for minimum reflection loss. The photo of the fabricated
antenna is shown in Fig. 3.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.1 Reflection loss
The probe fed conventional and the designed fractal antennas in Fig. 2 are simulated using high
frequency structured simulator based on finite element analysis method. The modelling of the
antenna is done on FR4 substrate (εr = 4.3, h=1.56 mm) as per the design dimensions as
discussed in section 2 using 3D modeller available in the simulator. The modelled antenna is
excited using wave port with 50 Ω characteristics impedance. The simulated results are obtained
by swiping the frequency between 1Hz to 3 GHz as shown in Fig. 4 and 5. The designed
antennas fabricated on FR4 are tested using Agilent vector network analyzer 0-4 GHz as shown
in Fig. 4. The simulation and measured return / reflection loss results for fourth iterated fractal
antenna are compared in Fig. 4. The simulation results of fourth iterated fractal antenna are
compared with conventional antennas of equivalent physical sizes as that of every fractal
iteration and summarized in table1. The conventional patch (base) antenna resonates at a centre
frequency of 1.04 GHz (measured) and matches closely with the simulation results as seen in
table1. The simulated and the measured results for fourth iterated fractal antenna shown in Fig.
4 and table 1 are in close agreement with small differences due to fabrication tolerance. As
shown in Fig. 5 and table 1, the proposed fourth iterated fractal antenna resonates at four
distinct frequencies measured as 0.683 GHz (first iteration); 0.97 GHz (second iteration); 1.29
GHz (third iteration) and 1.68 GHz (fourth iteration). These frequencies correspond to four

iterations of multi-triangular patches respectively. This is confirmed by simulating the probe fed
antenna with four, three, two and single multi-triangular patches included in the conventional

geometry. The major axis dimensions (d/2) of the multi-triangular patches considered are 40
mm, 28.5 mm, 20.85 mm and 14.85 mm respectively. Also, the probe fed conventional antennas
of same dimensions (i.e. 40 mm, 28.5 mm, 20.85 mm and 14.85 mm respectively) are simulated
and results are shown in Fig. 5 and table 1. The resulting resonating frequencies of conventional
antennas are shown by numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 corresponding to proposed antenna resonant
frequencies numbered by 1’, 2’, 3’ and 4’ in Fig. 5. The reduction in these frequencies due to
fractal patch is about 65% (average) compared to conventional antennas of similar patch sizes as
mentioned earlier. The multiple resonating frequencies in the proposed antenna (Fig. 4);
compared to the conventional antenna resonating at 1.04 GHz (table 1) indicates multi-
functionality [9]-[16] due to fractal nature of the proposed geometry.

Also, the resonating frequency (1.04 GHz) of conventional (base) antenna reduces by 67.65% to
0.683 GHz with the proposed fourth iterative fractal antenna geometry. This indicates
miniaturization [4]- [5], [11] due to the proposed iterative geometry. This miniaturization is due
to the fractal slot loading [14] and space filling [1]-[4] characteristics of the antenna. The self
scaling in the antenna exhibit longer wavelength independent [2]-[4] of the classical theory is
mainly due to slot loading. Hence, the proposed fractal antenna resonates at lower frequency
than the conventional patch antenna of same size. The multi-functionality in the iterative fractal
antenna is due to self-similarity [2], [5] among the four fractal patches in the proposed antenna
geometry.
3.2 Radiation Patterns
The probe fed conventional antenna and fourth iterative fractal antenna have been simulated for
co and cross polarization at their first resonant frequencies and results are presented in Fig. 6
and Fig. 7.
These results show that cross polarization gain level has got reduced in proposed fractal antenna
compared to the conventional antenna. The probe fed conventional antenna is found to produce
the polarization difference of -3.08 dB whereas -23.66 dB in probe fed proposed fractal
antenna at theta 0 deg. as shown in Table 2. This difference reaches to -50 dB at phi = 0 and
theta = 90 deg. Thus, this fractal antenna is useful for low cross polarization.

4. CONCLUSIONS
The proposed fractal antenna can be fabricated on low cost FR4 substrate material. It is simple
in design. It exhibits multiband and miniaturization properties as compared to conventional
antenna. The multiband behavior of the antenna is due to self-similar multi-triangular slot
loading. The fourth iterated antenna exhibits four bands corresponding to four iterations that
exist in the antenna geometry. The largest size iteration (i.e. first iteration) corresponds to
lowest frequency and lowest size iteration (i.e. fourth iteration) corresponds to highest
frequency. The miniaturization in the fractal antenna is due to space–filling iterative geometry.
The fractal nature of the multi-triangular slot further enhances the compactness feature of the
antenna. The fractal antenna exhibits reduces cross polarization levels compared to conventional
patch antenna. The antenna can be designed flexibly by manipulating the size of iterations for
required frequencies. The fractal antenna is suitable for compact multiband wireless applications
and low cross polarization. The antenna can be suitable candidature for bandwidth enhancement
in future experimentation for compact broadband applications as well as radar cross section
reduction for low observability.
