The presentation of the theory comes in a more concise, clear and general form to help those looking to use it without any details as well as those looking for detailed understanding and tailoring the theory to their problems. The cost function includes dynamic weighting elements allowing integral action to be introduced and robustness characteristics to be modified. Thus, the novelty of the paper stems from the fact that it presents the proof in a novel approach for a general plant structure which covers and could be broken down easily to any special case that might exist in reality. The paper is supplemented with design steps and two numerical examples: one is a continuous time system and the other is a discrete time system.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Instead of expensive analog devices and ionization chamber detectors, a microcontroller and a Geiger-Muller tube (GM) are employed to implement this instrument. The nonlinear counting rate/dose rate curves of GM tubes are fitted into quadratic or 3/sup rd/ order polynomial equations that are solved using the microcontroller. A measurement program that uses the capabilities of CMOS microcontrollers for power saving is presented. The integrated dose, dose rate, and battery check functions are implemented. By obtaining the equation of a GM tube, we can extend the dose rate range beyond the linear portion of its curve. Very low power consumption and flexibility of the programmed devices in conjunction with enhanced functionality compared with top class analog instruments makes the proposed technique an excellent choice for wide-range portable dosimeter instruments.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

In the present work, we adopted the reconfigurable artificial neural network approach for the of the 7 traditional logic functions in both the bit- and word-level. A new design for XOR and XNOR logic functions have been proposed using this approach. Comparison between the proposed and traditional networks shows that, the proposed network has a minimum number of neurons and synaptic weights. The proposed neural network for bit-level has been realized by a hardware means and the result have been checked using Pspice computer program. Both the actual and computer results are found to be very close to the correct results.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

In addition, this formula can be used to compare the AMSE and/or the performance of different system models having different channel variation models and/or different multipath profile shapes. The conclusions that are extracted from applying this formula can be applied also for the decision feedback and fractionally spaced equalizers. Also, the calculated and simulated AMSE are compared.
