This antenna consists of rectangular monopole as a feed plate and top loaded rectangular plate. The assembly of feed plate and top loaded rectangular monopole is grounded through shorting wall. The size of top loaded rectangular plate and rectangular feed plate are chosen 20 × 10 mm2 and 14 × 6.75 mm2 respectively. The proposed antenna covers the frequency range from 3.0-10.8 GHz with impedance bandwidth of 113 % and isolation between antenna elements is obtained less than -15 dB without any isolation improvement techniques. The diversity performances is analyzed for evaluation of diversity antenna. Antenna is also characterized by S-parameters, far field radiation patterns, efficiency, and peak realized gain. Fidelity factor for proposed antenna is calculated to characterize time domain behaviour. The optimized structure is fabricated and tested. The acceptable agreement is obtained between simulated and measured results.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128103529","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}

For the development of a 200kW tandem 3±0.2dB ultra-wideband hybrid coupler, design and simulation of a 3-elements 8.34±0.2dB coupled section is performed. In simulation results, coupling and output parameters of the designed coupled section are found significantly deteriorated from the theoretical prediction. The problem is investigated and found associated to the effect junction discontinuity. Junctions that are employed to join the elements produce undesirable reactive effect known as junction discontinuity effect. An analysis of the junction discontinuity effect in multi-element coupled lines and its compensation using novel approach is presented.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131943776","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}

There are many statistical, structural feature extraction techniques being proposed for different languages. Many classifier models are combined with these features to obtain high recognition rates. There still exists a gap between the recognition accuracy of printed characters and unconstrained handwritten scripts. Odia is a popular and classical language of the eastern part of India. Though the research in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has advanced in other Indian languages such as Devanagari and Bangla, not much attention has been given to Odia character recognition. We propose a hybrid feature extraction technique using Kirsch gradient operator and curvature properties of handwritten numerals, followed by a feature dimension reduction using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We use Modified Quadratic Discriminant Function (MQDF), Discriminative Learning Quadratic Discriminant Function (DLQDF) classifiers as they provide high accuracy of recognition and compare both the classifier performances. We verify our results using the Odia numerals database of ISI Kolkata. The recognition accuracy for Odia numerals with our proposed approach is found to be 98.5%.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132070320","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}

Matlab is used to simulate ECG signals artificially, to represent different sinus rhythms and leads of ECG waveform. Furthermore contamination of an important artifact (baseline wander) is simulated for normal ECG lead II, and then identified using LMS algorithm and its preconditioned versions: NLMS and TDLMS algorithms, to get denoised ECG signals. Experimental results are presented for a comparison of these adaptive algorithm, which shows preference of TDLMS algorithm over the rest.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"144 41","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114052551","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}

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals provide information in the analysis of the brain functionality but the amount of data to be process is normally huge and requires the use of specialized software. It is also important that the processed EEG signals are then represented with proper visualizing aids to better assists clinicians and researchers in the process of interpretation.

Ring type constellation is used as modulation technique to encode the different levels of data independently. In noisy channels, the index replacing concept cannot be used because all the bits are corrupted by noise; symbols are no more either correctly received or completely lost. In this work, a new method has been proposed to circumvent the need for index replacing in block duplication. This is called Index Averaging. It is found that block duplication applied to the Most Important Bits (MIB) leads to a better performance than previous Unequal Error Protection (UEP) based schemes.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127134008","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}

Aimed at range sidelobes reduction of the LFM pulse compression result, a new weighting pulse-compression filter is presented, based on the spectrum modification technique. The design and implementation of this filter is exhibited in detail. Subsequent performance analysis shows that after filtered by the proposed filter, the best Ratio of Mainlobe to Sidelobe (RMS) of output short pulse is below -75dB. Furthermore, the RMS of compression output with different Doppler shift is presented to prove the proposed filter can be applied in most radar applications.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"6 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124447346","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}
