Calculating SAR Distribution and RF Electromagnetic Field Due To MRI Coil at Human Model
Abstract: AbstractMRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is an effective method for diagnosis of diseases. The MRI system is made of some important units including RF (radio frequency) devices [1]. The RF coil is one of the important parts in the RF unit. During the imaging, the RF coil radiates EM (electromagnetic) pulse to the human body and in response receives the NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) signals emitted from the nuclei, which constitutes …

Design of Ultra Wideband Square Aperture Shaped Microstrip (ASM) Antenna
Abstract: AbstractA compact coplanar waveguide-fed (CPW) microstrip antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication is presented. The antenna comprises a square aperture (24 mm × 24 mm) etched on the ground-plane of a printed circuit board and a modified rectangular shaped stub, also total size of the antenna is 30 mm × 30 mm. The lower edge of the band is attained by properly decoupling the resonant frequencies due to proper selection …

Direction of Arrival Estimation in Mobile Communication Systems using MUSIC Algorithm
Abstract: AbstractAdaptive antenna arrays use multiple antenna elements to form directional patterns in order to improve the performance of wireless communication systems. The antenna arrays also have the ability to estimate the Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) of the signals received from the desired transmitters as well as the directions of interference signals. The results of DoA estimation are then used to adjust the weights of the adaptive Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) antenna so that …

Performance Analysis of FIR Digital Filter using Artificial Neural Network for ECG Signal
Abstract: AbstractIn performance of electrocardiography (ECG) signal, signal acquisition must be noise free. This paper deals with the application of the digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter on the raw ECG signal. In this paper different window techniques used to design FIR filter and their signal to noise ratio are compared. The dataset configured for multilayer perceptron (MLP) training with feed forward algorithm. Finally the MLP is trained and the results …

Reformation of WLAN Feeler by Incorporating Varactor Diode with Negative Media Structure
Abstract: AbstractIn this manuscript, authors proposed a negative media structure with Varactor diode to reform the rectangular microstrip patch antenna parameter to a great extent. Initially basic feeler was designed and simulated, and then parameters were enhanced by implementing negative media structure. It has been observed that negative media is not sufficient to improve the parameters therefore Varactor diode was introduced to get the required improvement. This proposed design of feeler …
