The magnetic properties were principally investigated by designing and developing magnetizing system, constructed by two laminated C-cores and wound with copper wire. The influence of different core arrangements, which are horizontal and vertical arrangement on magnetic properties of electrical steel, is analyzed in order to achieve the best performance in the magnetizing system. The magnetic characteristics of different types of electrical steels were also presented. The experimental results show that stress was introduced on the sample when vertical set-up was employed.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122533171","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}

One of its parameter standard, which is QPSK modulation has been adopted by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to be used in IMT-2000. However, due to amplitude variations introduced in QPSK, a rather robust and reliable data modulation technique, namely the pi/4-shift Differential QPSK is proposed. For detection purposes, two types of detectors are evaluated for their performance in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. A differential detection technique called multiple differential detection technique which uses maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) of the transmitted phases is compared with conventional differential detection which uses symbol-by-symbol detection. By using some of the IMT-2000 standard parameters, the simulation results show that multiple differential detection scheme performs much better than conventional differential detection scheme.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126210844","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}

Recently, however wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations because it is offer several favorable characteristics such as dynamic self-organization, easy maintenance and reliable services. A network with several transmitters and receivers that communicate to each other will form a mesh network topology. Once the transmitter launches a ray, it will be reflected, refracted or diffracted to any kind of surfaces such as the concrete wall. That process will decrease the received signal strength at the receiver. So, ray-tracing technique can be used to analyze the network performance. It is a method that used to determine the ray paths that emanate from the transmitter (Tx) and arrive at the receiver (Rx), and also an efficient approach in determining the propagation issues in wireless environment. So, this paper will be focused on Ray-Tracing techniques and WMNs theories.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"102 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113945891","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 paper presents these timing variations by studying the LVDS output jitter of a 65-nm wire-bond FPGA device in the presence of SSN. By using differential signaling, the effect of inductive coupling can be significantly reduced, allowing the PDN effect to be observed more clearly. Due to the PDN resonance effect, the LVDS output jitter reaches maximum (peak) when the transient current in the PDN oscillates at the resonance frequency. This study shows that output jitter peaks not only when the SSN is at the resonance frequency but also when it is at half the resonance frequency.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114599225","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}

Ionospheric models i.e. IRI2001, NeQuick and real data as in IONEX format were used in this study. Results were compared with real TEC data from Parit Raja as reference value, which was obtained from a general dual frequency method. Data collected from IONEX showed that the occurrence of TID was less frequent when compared to the real data from Parit Raja. This was due to the few ground stations located at site of study. For both the empirical models, IRI2001 and NeQuick, the predicted TEC was affected by the value of sunspot number and was suitable for geomagnetic quiet conditions. It is recommended that IRI and NeQuick models that undergo improvement should include ionospheric disturbances for more reliable TEC calculations.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126726938","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}

However IMUs accumulate translational errors thus we study if we can overcome them by low pass filtering and making assumptions on the nature of the introduced drift. We also briefly expound on alternative methods of obtaining translation by only using either the acceleration output or the orientation output. We then interpret the results of our experiments and expound we finally conclude with further improvements that can be made.

The computational analysis comprised of the electrostatic analysis and the mechanical analysis [1]. The electric field is derived from the potential difference between the cantilever and the ground (reference plate). The surface force due to the potential difference is then fed to the mechanical analysis module to compute the deformation of the micromechanical structure. The analysis is done iteratively until an equilibrium state is reached. The deformation of the micromechanical structure as gives rise to the redistribution of the electric charges on the surface of the structure, hence a change in the electric field. Deformation of the microelectromechanical structure as well as the redistribution of the electric charges requires a re-meshing of the domains after each iterative step. The proposed model adopts an uncoupled quasi-static approach together with a dasiamoving meshpsila algorithm.
