Two kinds of such fibers; namely panda and bow-tie fibers, are studied and their birefringence is calculated. Stress distribution of bow-tie fiber is compared with that obtained from the finite element method showing a fair agreement. Results show that a higher degree of birefringence can be obtained by increasing stress applying zone area, decreasing the distance of this zone from the core and to some extent by increasing the cladding area.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The GPS represents one of the main systems for navigation aids. However, there are many errors associated with the navigation solution of the GPS. The selective availability (SA) error is considered as one of the major errors in the GPS. This error would take the user outside of the 100 m 2D root mean square circle. DGPS is used to increase the system accuracy due to SA error and other sources. In this paper, a method is used to increase the GPS working area through modification of position lines.

A multiplexer receives traffic from many sources on access lines and sends it to its destination on a trunk line. This technique results in a great savings when the traffic of the sources is bursty. A problem arises, however, if the access lines are imperfect, in the sense that they may introduce errors in the traffic they carry. A normal multiplexer unknowingly transmits the erroneous traffic to the destination. The destination, with the help of an error-detection routine, detects the errors and discards that traffic, but of course after it has wasted much needed bandwidth on the trunk. This paper proposes an enhanced multiplexer, which is just a normal multiplexer with an error-detection routine similar to that of the destination. The function of this routine is to discard the erroneous traffic right at the multiplexer, thus saving the bandwidth of the trunk for only the error-free traffic. A discrete queueing theoretic model is developed in this paper for the enhanced multiplexer. By analyzing the model, using the generating function approach, it is shown that the enhanced multiplexer is superior in performance to its normal counterpart. For conciseness, it is assumed that the multiplexer is hooked to an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. However the model presented can be easily modified to suit other network standards.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The national regulatory systems for nuclear and radiation safety are implemented in order to control nuclear materials in all aspects. The study can show that nuclear energy is almost free of gases causing environmental problems such as climate change or acid rain. Also, nuclear energy, being characterized by high energy densities in the processes, would utilize low quantities of nuclear materials and consequently wastes. The occupational risks are related mainly to accidents in mining and power production while public risks are relatively small.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The external (radiation) field on the other hand is expressed as a multiple-multipole expansion. The continuity of the electromagnetic field at both the aperture and the metallic boundaries of the horn are enforced using a point matching procedure.

This paper presents a new technique for adaptive cancellation of noise in MOSFET IC operational amplifiers. It employs a new circuit configuration comprising two operational amplifiers having common current source, one is passive with its inverting and non inverting inputs short circuited. This operational amplifier is only responsible for amplifying its equivalent input noise and to give a proportional output voltage. The second operational amplifier is active and used to amplify the signal to be processed together with the operational amplifier equivalent input noise and gives a proportional output voltage. The two operational amplifiers are cross coupled to each other so that the noise of the passive amplifier is amplified and subtracted from the output of the second one and makes it, therefore noise free (/spl sim/0.22 nV//spl radic/(HZ) or 20 m Vrms within 2.5 kHz bandwidth over frequencies extending from very low frequency up to GHz), over a very wide dynamic range of input voltage (/spl sim/120 dB) and ambient temperature (/spl sim/0 to 50/spl deg/C). A feedback loop is added to improve the amplifier linearity (better than 2%). The standard submicron MOSFET technology (/spl sim/0.2 /spl mu/m to 2 /spl mu/m) is used for the realization of the proposed noise free op amp.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.
