It affects antenna performance, communication capacity and so on. Likewise, an accurate analysis of mutual coupling which can be expressed in terms of mutual impedance is important. A few analytic approaches for mutual impedance between two dipoles are available, one of it is the Induced EMF method. The Induced EMF method is accurate for short and thin, with an infinitesimal feed gap, which is impractical. A finite feed gap which is practical, can be modeled using electromagnetic simulation approaches. However, no analytical techniques are available to compare the results of the design with numerical software. The finite feed gap modelling of the mutual impedance using the Induced EMF method will be highlighted in this paper. The results are compared with other electromagnetic software. Then, the effect of the finite feed gap model has been observed in the far field pattern of dipole antenna arrays and they are in good agreement with other electromagnetic software.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126327981","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 frequencies range in this measurement was from 0.1MHz until 30MHz and this range was selected in order to model this measurement in VDSL2 environment. The result of this measurement was analyzed after scattering parameters was extracted by using Agilent Technologies Network Analyzer model E5071C. The outcome of this experiment is the relationship between the crosstalk and the length of the twisted pair inside a copper bundle. The result shows that crosstalk transfer function remains the same as the length of the cable increases and it represents TM copper cable better compared to ETSI model. The crosstalk transfer function generated from the analysis can be used to estimate bitrate performance according to the length of copper pair.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116087868","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}

This technique consists of two inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) blocks. The input symbols of the first IFFT are the mapped symbols, whereas the input symbols of the second IFFT are the summations of the absolute value of the real part of the outer signal constellation points and zeros symbols. First, the output of the two IFFT blocks is partitioned into four subblocks, which are subsequently used to rearrange the subblocks with padding zeros in a specific manner. Then, a new optimization scheme is introduced, in which only a single two-phase sequence and four iterations needs to be applied. Numerical analysis shows that the hybrid proposed technique achieves better bit error rate (BER) and PAPR reduction performance than partial transmit sequences (PTS) multiplicative technique and tone reservation (TR) additive PAPR technique. The other salient feature of this scheme is that no side information (SI) is needed which increases transmission efficiency.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127680667","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}

It produces a powerful burst of radiations which can severely affect the Earth's ionosphere and a wide range of radio communication services. One of the methods used to study the effect of solar flare is by continuously monitor and measure the Very Low Frequency (VLF 3-30 kHz) radio waves signal. Short term analyses of the data recorded by AWESOME receiver at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, for the period of April to May, 2013 were presented. There were 5 solar flare events with classes greater than M1 (X-ray flux ≥ 1.0 × 10-5W/m2) recorded by GOES satellite which created 20 VLF perturbations during the observation period. Results indicated that the enhancement of X-ray radiation from the sun during the solar flare event was capable to generate VLF perturbations as high as 10 dB in amplitude and 85 degrees in phase signals. Three Transmitter Receiver Great Circle Paths (TRGCPs) propagating VLF signal over land and sea at frequencies 19.8, 22.2 and 21.4 kHz were analyzed simultaneously. The data from all TRGCPs confirmed the association between solar flare event and VLF ionospheric disturbances. The correlation coefficient between the solar flare X-ray flux intensity and the magnitude of the VLF perturbations for the studied flare event are presented.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132641705","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}

This letter presents performance improvement of multi-layer slot coupled 3 dB Branch-Line Coupler (BLC) with the integration of electromagnetic band gap into the design. The proposed BLC is simulated on a Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with permittivity of 3.38 and designed to operate at 7 GHz. A configuration of uniplanar compact electromagnetic band-gap (UC-EBG) structures is exploited to serve as a slot coupled ground to reduce mutual coupling between the radiating elements and to achieve a higher operating resonance frequency. The periodic structure of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) is considered in RF-microwave industry due to their extraordinary surface wave suppression property. The proposed BLC delivered simulated coupling and transmission values of 3.12 and 4.04 dB, respectively. The impedance bandwidths (BW) of the BLC significantly increase to 120% when integrated with an EBG slot coupled ground plane. The proposed BLC design was accomplished in multilayer microstrip-slot technology by employing coupling technique. Ultimately, these applications produce wide operational bandwidth in which the BLC will serves as an essential key beam forming network element for future 5G wireless communications.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122330808","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}

LTE has been developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to improve the end to end system delay and support higher Quality of Services (QoS). However, 3GPP has not defined a firm provision to handle the scheduling process, so that scheduling becomes an open issue for researchers. Instead, they defined nine classes with their corresponding Quality of Services (QoS) requirements. In this paper, a novel scheduling algorithm is proposed based on class service using cooperative game theory technique. The available resources are fairly distributed among classes as proportion which results in higher fairness level among classes. In the second level, the users with tightest delay requirements are prioritized. The proposed algorithm is compared with Proportional Fairness (PF) and Exponential (EXP) rule algorithms in terms of throughput, delay and fairness index. The proposed model outperforms PF and EXP schemes in all comparative parameters.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114449264","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}

We later analyze the effect of modulation order, number of subcarriers, signal scaling and biasing operation on the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which is a major issue in OFDM based VLC system. Simulation results show that the bit error rate (BER) decreases as the degree of nonlinearity increases and a better BER can be achieved as the LED behavior approaches linear model. In addition, it is shown that reducing the QAM order or increasing the number of subcarriers may reduce the effect of the LED nonlinearity, thus improving the BER performance of the VLC system. Moreover, it is demonstrated that PAPR is higher for a large number of subcarriers and modulation order. Finally, the PAPR of the visible light OFDM system can significantly be reduced by employing the signal scaling combined with biasing operation.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124855992","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}
