Mathematical analysis are presented for a model of any number of slabs of different electrical and physical properties. The method is based on the desired field distribution in each slab. The desired field distribution in any layer is decomposed into basis functions. The expansion coefficients are calculated using the boundary conditions. Computed results are shown for a model of four slabs and the desired electric field distribution is Gaussian shaped wave. The calculated results for the electric field intensity distributions are illustrated in the last layer. The presented method may help the investigators to design electromagnetic sources to generate the desired field distributions.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Analytical transforms play a great role in the gray level decorrelation and energy compaction of the image and hardly affect the performance of the image compression technique. This paper provides a comparison of the bit rate reduction capability and signal to noise ratio among five transforms; namely, Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT), discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete Hartley transform (DHT), discrete Gabor transform (DGT), and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), where they have shown the most promise in image compression coding systems. The coefficients of the transform are truncated with a specified threshold and the bit rate is computed after Huffman coding. The image is reconstructed from the truncated version of the coefficient matrix. Peak signal to noise ratio and compression ratio are considered to evaluate the efficiency of the analytical transform. The error image between the original and the reconstructed image is computed to follow the error distribution over the image.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The problem addressed is the choice of the number of levels in the hierarchy and the group size at each level.

The software approach is complex and its operation speed is low particularly in real-time applications. On the other hand, the hardware implementations (digital and/or analog) of fuzzy systems yield high speed and high efficiency for real-time applications. Since fuzzy systems normally have output with amplitude that varies continuously from 0 to 1, then the analog implementation is the most suitable choice. Besides, analog circuits have higher speed and lower power consumption than their digital counterparts. In this paper, a new current mode, multiple input minimum circuit is proposed. It has many features such as high speed, small area, low power dissipation and compatibility with VLSI implementation. Also, the circuit does not need any preprocessing (normalization) of the input currents before calculating the minimum. These features make it suitable as a building block in real-time computational systems such as fuzzy or artificial neural networks.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The input traffic is modeled by identical Bernoulli processes. The presented analytical approach is based on a queueing model which describes the finite queue occupancy distribution. The evaluation of the cell loss and cell mean delay is compared with previously presented analytical results. It is found that the presented simple model is suitable for determining the finite buffer effect on the ATM network performance in spite of its simplicity and its analytical tractability. An asymptotic relation is obtained between the offered load and the buffer size that gives a constant cell loss behavior. Moreover, the outstanding physical meaning of the presented procedure gives a deep insight into the ATM switch performance parameters as to the network offered load and the switch buffer capacity.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Our method separates important objects from the background and from trivial details, so as to keep good visual quality of the objects of interest. The resulting bit rate can be significantly reduced by sacrificing information on less relevant parts of the scene, or from portions of the video sequence which are of less interest to the end users. The method is based on an active dynamic contour algorithm which tracks the external contour of designated objects, and which we improve to provide more accurate dynamic tracking. The performance of the object tracking algorithm, as well as of our compression scheme are presented.
