GaAs transistor is used as an active device due to ability in operating at high frequencies and can generate signals with lesser noise. Linearity of the integragted design was simulated with two tone test and the intermodulation products (OIP3) value resulted to be 50 dBm. ACPR of -50.86 dBC with 10MHz frequency spacing is achieved using the Butterworth Bandpass Filter. On the other side, high linearity will lead to more efficient transmission of the signals.","PeriodicalId":143806,"journal":{"name":"2014 2nd International Conference on Electronic Design (ICED)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130345651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TrT and TaT structures optimization and validation was made using five well known algorithm namely PSO, GA, CMAES, IQN and CP. With TaT, the less electrical field sensitivity of the conventional circular split ring improved from 5.19e+04 V/m to 5.36e+04 V/m. While the magnetic field sensitivity value rises from 149 A/m to 218 A/m, a 3.27 % increase. At the same time retaining the resonant frequency well at 6.0 GHz even with TrT and TaT.

This paper focuses more on vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) which fall into one of the applications in wireless ad hoc network. Area of interest in VANETs research has been summarized and medium access control (MAC) research area is still wide area to be discovered. VANETs performance metrics also has been outline. Cooperative communication on the other hand is a noted technique to enhance reliability and throughput in wireless systems where the neighboring nodes can do the overhearing. Cooperative MAC protocols do receive much attention from researchers' especially in IEEE 802.11 standard and a summary of related works had been done. A strong relationship between cooperative MAC protocols has been reported in the literature but only a few focuses on vehicular network.

Blotches are common defects in old archives. They refer to a small area with an approximately uniform gray level that occurs randomly in each frame. After applying most algorithms to detect the position of blotches and also scratch which is another type of defect in the old media, in each frame of video, it is essential to correct them, in other words, we should fill the missing data with reasonable values. In this paper, we consider this task similar to an optimization problem and apply Genetic Algorithm (GA) to each frame. The current frame scans row by row and is considered as the corrupted slice of each row which is found; then, we apply the GA to fill the missing data on that special portion and the process is continued to cover the image completely. The proposed algorithm is able to remove blotches and scratches with different sizes and directions and shapes. The information of previous or next frames is not needed in this implementation. The experimental results show the restored images have good quality.","PeriodicalId":143806,"journal":{"name":"2014 2nd International Conference on Electronic Design (ICED)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122739776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance, reliability and portability of entire database may possible by using replication technique. Replication may be considered as a data backup policy. Replication in homogeneous system is common practice in real life, but replication in heterogeneous system is quite challenging, because of the dissimilar computing environment. Since the computer environment porn to be heterogeneous, hence it's a promising field for researchers to consider replication in heterogeneous environment. In our research a persistence layer has been proposed for replication in heterogeneous systems. This persistence layer work on asynchronous model, hence it may call as asynchronous replication model. The model works implements multi threading technique for creating parallel connection with peer servers. The main server and replicated server are connected with a common interface. The interface is a replication engine, which intelligently holds data and makes decision depending on different factors for sending data to smoothen the replication process. The whole structure follows the rules of SOA (Service oriented architecture) thus, modification of replication servers do not affect the main server. Finally the architecture of this concept builds on different configurable files. These files help us in system up-gradation without shutting down the system. At the end, some experiments have been carried out and the results have been analyzed.","PeriodicalId":143806,"journal":{"name":"2014 2nd International Conference on Electronic Design (ICED)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122019409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ones with different drying are not annealed and the other that has the same drying is discussed based on different annealing temperature. Which one will have the highest IV characterization. As further discovered that the as deposited without annealing have a quite thick film that it could not be characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), so only the thinnest that is a 500°C annealed film can be characterized using AFM. The highest point of the current at 10V in the IV graph is 500 C annealing temperature of 6.06E-9 which then makes it the highest in conductivity at 3.37E-6.
