We assume the system operates in multipaths fading environment and a decorrelating receiver structure, The receiver has an explicit knowledge of the associated frequency-hopping (FH) patterns invoked. The system's performance is evaluated using Nakagami fading channels with numerical method. Furthermore the performance of the multi-user detection of SFH/MC DS-CDMA system is compared to the conventional Multi-user detection of direct-sequence code division multiple access system (multi-user detection of DS-CDMA).","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Airplane flutter is a very important problem. It causes the receiving antenna to receive both direct signal by the Tx (transmitter antenna) and reflected signal scattered by the airplane with phase delay. The sum of two signals results in fading, sometime collapse and distortion of picture on TV screen. We performed measurement and modeling of this phenomenon on TV signal when the airplane flew across and the range Tx and Rx (receiver antenna). The 60.75 MHz frequency (aural frequency of CH3) is used under tests. A single scatter multipath model is introduced. It is used to duplicate some of the measured data and show the dependence of power variation on the airplane fluttering. The fluctuation of the airplane flutter phenomenon was calculated to be around 2-4 dB.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. Student Conference on Research and Development, 2003.

This paper presents and discusses a new network environment, which combined conventional Ethernet with WDM to decrease the average queuing delay and increase the normalized throughput over different network configuration. The performances of Ethernet/WDM network operating over different number of wavelength channels are evaluated with different network parameters using discrete event simulator called OMNeT++. The study shows that Ethernet/WDM gives a higher normalized throughput and less delay compare to the standard Ethernet network. In this paper also we present the result of performance evaluation of 3 algorithms that combine CSMA/CD and WDM- sort increasing (SI), random select (RS) and no back off (NB) access protocol. Through extensive network-level simulation for a multiple-access WDM/Ethernet, with 3 nodes and 1, 2 and 3 wavelengths on a 100 m fiber optic cable, we have verified that RS and SI show the best performance in term of throughput, while for the delay, NB shows the best performance.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The objective of feature selection and extraction is to speed up the NN training process and to achieve a more accurate NN results. The proposed method is known as the SDFT method in which it is a combination of the sensitivity and discrete Fourier transform methods. The sensitivity analysis is first used in selecting the input features and then followed by the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) method for extracting NN input features. The hypothesis set of pre-selected data performed by the sensitivity method only offers no improvement in the NN training performance in such cases where many features are highly correlated. Thus, the DFT method is considered so as to extract the pre-selected data to a set of meaningful extracted data. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a comparative study of the SDFT, DFT and sensitivity methods is made so as to investigate the effectiveness of the methods in extracting and selecting the NN features. In this study, the NN based available transfer capability assessment has been performed on the Malaysian power system.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The signature images are binarized and resized to a fixed size window and are then thinned. The thinned image is then partitioned into a fixed number of eight sub-images called boxes. This partition is done using the horizontal density approximation approach. Each sub-image is then further resized and again partitioned into twelve further sub-images using the uniform partitioning approach. The features of consideration are normalized vector angle (a) and distance (/spl gamma/) from each box. Each feature extracted from sample signatures gives rise to fuzzy sets. Since the choice of a proper fuzzification function is crucial for verification, we have devised a new fuzzification function with structural parameters, which is able to adapt to the variations in fuzzy sets. This function is employed to develop a complete forgery detection and verification system.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. Student Conference on Research and Development, 2003.
