High-frequency waves in the range of 0.9 – 2.5 GHz were applied to the cancerous cells. Consequently, resistive heating was generated used to destroy the cancerous cells. In this paper, this technique had been applied to a 3D accurate model of the kidney with similar dimensions and shape including its artery, vein, and ureter. The next step was to design an RF probe to get high values of specific absorption rate for the cancerous cells and minimum values for the normal cells of the kidney. Simulation results showed that the shape of the model has the greatest effect on the resulting lesion volume and shape. In this work, the internally cooled electrode using Gil was designed from aluminum material with its tines revolved to 270° and Gaussian signal as the excitation signal.","PeriodicalId":231431,"journal":{"name":"2021 38th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"349 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116499096","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}

A systematic process for radiation pattern correction is investigated. The TMLA operates by sampling the input for array elements in a switched time sequence rather than phase shift in phased antenna arrays. The failure of the array elements damages the radiation patterns which appears in different sidelobe levels (SLLs) and the locations of nulls. The TMLA elements are connected to RF switches with their on-time instants and the on-time durations sequences reconfigured to compensate the damage in the radiated pattern. The correction method involves the calculation of damaged array radiation pattern. Then, the PSO compares the damaged pattern with an optimized pattern through the minimization of the cost function. The periodic on-off sequences for array excitation are estimated using the PSO for optimum pattern. The performance of this technique is applied on 32-elements TMLA with Dolph-Chebyshev excitation. Single and multiple faults are detected and the radiation pattern are corrected using the PSO.","PeriodicalId":231431,"journal":{"name":"2021 38th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127872586","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 formulate the optimization problems for different throughput objectives in the cooperative and non-cooperative modes. The results show a noticeable enhancement in the total throughput achieved by the network as well as the slow node in the cooperative mode compared to the non-cooperative one.

Each time switching scheme with switching rate, fp, produces beam at the fundamental-frequency, fo, and other beams at the harmonic-frequencies fo± mfp. The switching time scheme introduces an extra design variable to control the radiation patterns at the harmonic frequencies. The patterns at the fundamental and sideband frequencies are all simulated using the method of moments (MoM) while taking into account the element radiation pattern and mutual coupling.

Deep Learning requires having large sets of data for training and testing purposes. Obtaining such large datasets through measurement campaigns is a challenging and costly task. Therefore, it is a common practice to use synthesized data. The aim of the current paper is to survey different applications of deep learning in 5G systems, and more specifically, that implementing the massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) using deep learning, for estimating the wideband mMIMO channel, and for beamforming co-operative transmission. Then, methods for dataset generation for such systems are covered and reviewed. The required datasets for deep-learning may be constructed via ray-tracing simulators. Illustration of the methodology with some deployment scenarios relying on Remcom wireless InSite® ray-tracing simulator are introduced. These scenarios are used to provide the required datasets to be used for deep learning. Then, several directions are proposed for future work that are based on sensing the environment type, (Indoor/Outdoor), and jointly estimating the channel vector, Direction-of-Arrival (DoA), Direction of Departure (DoD), and Rx point power allocation.

The advances in pervasive computing and the ever-increasing interest in deep learning has resulted in a growing research attention on the enhancement of the MobileNet architecture. Beside the enhancement in convolution layers, recent literature has featured new directions for implementing the pooling layers. In this work, we propose a new model based on the MobileNet-V1 architecture, and we investigate the impact of wavelet pooling on the performance of the proposed model. While traditional neighborhood pooling can result in information loss, which negatively impacts any succeeding feature extraction, wavelet pooling allows us to utilize spectral information which is useful in most image processing tasks. On two widely adopted datasets, we evaluated the performance of the proposed model, and compared to the baseline MobileNet, we attained a 10% and a 16% increase in classification accuracy on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 respectively. We also evaluated a shallow version of the proposed architecture with wavelet pooling, and we showed that it maintained the classification accuracy either higher than, or <1% less than, the deep versions of MobileNet while decreasing the number of model parameters by almost 40%.","PeriodicalId":231431,"journal":{"name":"2021 38th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131045119","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}
