This is a two input two output nonlinear system, having strong cross coupling between the inputs and the outputs. The task is to control the angular position (the azimuth angle and the elevation angle) of the system. Nonlinear equations of azimuth and elevation angles are derived in state space using Euler-Lagrange equations. The model is then linearized and the controller is applied to control both the angular positions simultaneously. Rotor forces are calculated experimentally. A set of model parameters for the system is also provided at the end.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

These signals employ multi symbol observations for detection of data. An optimum OFDM-CPM receiver was designed that observed n symbols of the received waveform, and arrived at an optimum estimate of the data transmitted in the first symbol interval. However, from the viewpoint of receiver complexity, this receiver is quite complex and the complexity grows exponentially as a function of number of observation symbols. Thus, in this paper, we develop and investigate a less complex OFDM-CPM receiver that employs post-FFT signal processing for recovery of data. Performance of this receiver is evaluated over multipath fading channels for several subclasses of OFDM-CPM signals. It is shown that we achieve error rate performance that is far superior to the performance offered by conventional OFDM-PSK systems","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

Speech recognition is one of the most complex pattern matching problems. The objective of speech recognition is to design a system that can recognize speech from multiple speakers with variability in speech rate, pitch, volume etc. and from a large vocabulary. The basic components of speech are phonemes and recognition of words of some language depends on the phonemes of individual letters constructing that word. This experiment is about the recognition of 28 basic phonemes of the Arabic language. The recognition system is a fuzzy based system. The input to the system is in the form of frequency intensity of the phonemes. Fuzzy rules are defined on the basis of different characteristics of the input. Phonemes are provided to the system and it recognizes them on the basis of their membership values under the defined fuzzy rule base. The experiments are performed on data from 180 speakers out of which 130 samples are used for training while the remaining 50 are used for testing.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

The bandwidth of the microstrip antenna can be changed by varying the angle of the triangle produced over the slot.

Artificial immune systems (AIS) is a novel computing paradigm inspired from the human immune system (HIS). The dramatic features of HIS like distributability, uniqueness, adaptability, mobility, imperfect-detection, and anomaly-detection, have grabbed the attention of computational researchers for adopting HIS principles to design AIS that are robust, scalable, highly flexible, resilient to sub-versioning, and degrade gracefully. Designers of AIS make use of their creative abilities for designing computational systems by extracting corresponding metaphors from HIS. AIS is growing as a core paradigm for a wide application area including: intrusion detection, data analysis, pattern recognition, optimization, robotics, distributed control, and bioinformatics etc. The field of AIS, being in its infancy, bears enormous research potential. This work aims to throw light on some prospective research issues in the field. The effort is based on (1) latest research references and (2) our experience for pioneering AIS based research infrastructure in the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). It may help new researchers to jump start AIS research and save their precious time.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.
