The antenna is constructed on Duroid substrate with relative permittivity 2.2. The FDTD method is used to calculate the radiation characteristics and input impedance of the antenna. The equivalence principle has been used to transform the time domain components of the near field to the frequency domain spherical components of the far field. The microstrip patch antenna has multiband frequencies at 2.8 GHz, 5.3 GHz, 7.75 GHz, and 10.23 GHz. Details of the antenna design and simulation results are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":231600,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Nineteenth National Radio Science Conference","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123906546","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 implies the exchange of secret information with the home domain via the radio link as the radio path is more susceptible to eavesdropping. A new set of inter-domain security mechanism is needed to secure this information especially in the absence of a single central certification authority. Accordingly, the paper presents a new protocol for authentication of mobile users. The main features of the proposed protocol include the use of mutual authentication between the communicating entities, KrpytoKnight, and public key cryptography. These features will provide a high security level for the whole system.","PeriodicalId":231600,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Nineteenth National Radio Science Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121366249","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 interfering maternal ECG signal is stronger than the fetal ECG one. Moreover, the background noise due to muscle activity and fetal motion strongly degrades the detection capability of the fetal ECG signal. A scheme based on the joint operation of an adaptive noise canceller (ANC) and an adaptive line enhancer (ALE) is proposed to detect the fetus ECG signal from the maternal ECG signal. The proposed scheme exhibits a great improvement in the output signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the heart rate of the detected fetal ECG signal is calculated and traced over a period of time to help in the discovery of fetal heart disease. Several cases for various weeks of the gestation period for pregnant women are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":231600,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Nineteenth National Radio Science Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124606029","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}
