In this paper, a system model where the base station(BS) and user equipment(UE) can communicate over the direct BS-UE link, as well as an indirect BS-IRS-UE link is considered, where the IRS is mounted on a UAV. The coverage probability is derived for the system. The coverage range i.e, the height of the UAV beyond which the coverage is zero is also derived.

High field MRI (3T and above) involves bulky and expensive equipments which are unaffordable in economically backward nations. Presently, 1.5T MRI has the largest market share, at 47 percent by value and 52 percent share by volume, since it provides adequate image quality at a comparatively low cost. However, the scan-time in 1.5T is quite long. Lower scan-time in 1.5T MRI can be obtained by increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). One of the techniques of improving the SNR of MRI is deployment of metasurfaces for enhancing the RF magnetic field in the region of interest (ROI). In this work, we demonstrate the design of a single-layered thin metasurface which exhibits resonance at 63.8 MHz, the Larmor frequency of 1.5T MRI. Numerical simulations using finite integration technique show twenty-fold increase of magnetic flux density on the surface of a human phantom. The increase in the RF magnetic flux density results in improvement of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which can make MRI more efficient, affordable and accessible.","PeriodicalId":183947,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Silchar Subsection Conference (SILCON)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123670744","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 antenna operates around 3.9 GHz (5G), around 5.5 GHz Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and 6.37 GHz for C-band applications. For obtaining the reconfigurability in the designed structure a V-shaped slot is etched on hexagonal shape radiating element and a PIN diode is adopted. If the PIN diode is ON state, the proposed radiating structure provides dual band operations in the frequency range of 3.49-4.46 GHz with centre frequency around 3.9 GHz and 5.59-7.59 GHz with centre frequency around 6.37 GHz with a bandwidth of 970 MHz, 2000 MHz respectively, else provides a single band operation in the frequency range of 4.03-7.14 GHz with centre frequency around 5.5 GHz with bandwidth of 3110 MHz. A hexagonal shape radiating patch element is incorporated on FR-4 substrate with overall size of (30 x 28 x 1.6) mm3.

The main hindrance for automatic measurement utilizing ECG is signal quality which gets affected with various artifacts like patient motion, poor skin-electrode contact. While various of ECG signal quality assessment (SQA) techniques are available, most of the works use computationally intensive and memory demanding techniques like wavelet, autoencoders, mode decomposition techniques etc. This paper exhaustively uses various entropy features, which are information rich, computationally lightweight and promising for the application. Secondly, evidence of multiclass ECG SQA is occasional. This paper describes the use of 20 entropy features for 3-class ECG SQA. Total 400 records from Computing in Cardiology (CinC) 2011 challenge, each of 6 leads and of 10 s duration per lead was evaluated, with a blind test accuracy of 75.43% for 3 class and 97% for 2-class SQA. It was found that the entropy features outperform the wavelet and AE features, and random forest provides superior performance over support vector machine and k-NN. The present research provides improved results over few published works on ECG SQA using CinC2011 dataset.","PeriodicalId":183947,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Silchar Subsection Conference (SILCON)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114788369","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}
