However, different sol–gel deposition methods namely spin coating and dip coating will affect the characteristics of thin film due to different deposition rates, which affect its surface morphology and its photocatalytic activity. This research aims to compare two different sol–gel deposition methods to synthesize Ag-modified TiO<sub>2</sub> thin films to their characteristics, including surface morphology, crystal structure, optical properties, and photocatalysis efficiency towards metformin. In this research, Ag-TiO<sub>2</sub> sol was coated on glass substrates by two different deposition methods namely manual dip coating (DC) and spin coating (SC) method, and annealed at 500℃. The amorphous-dominant phase is formed by the DC method, while the anatase crystalline phase is formed by the SC method. Ag-TiO<sub>2</sub> thin film synthesized by the SC method gives a lower band gap than the DC method. The TM-EDS revealed that the SC method gives a more uniform morphology and high incorporation of Ag. The photocatalytic test shows an increase in activity with Ag modification approximately 4–5 times from pure TiO<sub>2</sub> thin films with the highest degradation percentage of 22.05 % within 150 min using UVA irradiation achieved by the Ag-TiO<sub>2</sub> thin film deposited by the SC method.

The lower threshold current density was 212 A/cm<sup>2</sup>, which corresponds to a cavity length of 4 mm.

We present a mathematical framework that uses SVM, selective mapping (SLM), partial transmission sequence (PTS), and clipping and filtering (C&F) to estimate PAPR correctly, effectively lowering the PAPR while maintaining bit error rate (BER) performance. The proposed SVM method reduces the PAPR associated with conventional PAPR estimation techniques. The numerical results reveal that the proposed SVM obtained a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain in the range of 1 dB–3 dB and retained the BER performance of the framework. This leads to better power control and overall better network performance.
