The characterization process was using on-wafer measurement technique to AlGaAs/InGaAs HEMT devices which consisted of three types of layouts of various gate finger numbers and widths. The devices were biased at the optimum basing voltage obtained from DC characterization performed previously. From the result, it was observed that the device with higher number of gates exhibited higher gain only at low frequency, while at higher frequency the gain dropped significantly. This significant drop in gain was due to the increase of the gate-source capacitance in the device, thus leading to a reduction of the device cut-off frequency. The experimental findings were strongly supported by simulation which was based on related theory on the layout dimension contribution.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"10 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":"131893110","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 multiple access protocol in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) requires nodes to contend for the shared medium when transmitting route request (RREQ) in the route discovery phase and this will create a broadcast storm which increases the probability of packet collisions despite utilizing the normal access technique for wireless networks. With location information of the destination node, the source node and also of the current node, RREQ will be more directed towards destination since nodes that are within the directed region will participate in the routing process. This paper presents Quadrant-based directional routing protocol (Q-DIR) algorithm that restrict the broadcast region to a quadrant where the destination node and source node are located. With Q-DIR as a pure reactive routing protocol which is a modified AODVbis, latency of packets will be further reduced and consequently, increases the delivery ratio. This paper will present the performance of Q-DIR in a network of 49 nodes of which the nodes are static.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"25 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":"132823548","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}

A new approach in the determination of the differential (between spaced receivers) ionospheric error to sub-centimetre accuracy is described in this paper utilising a developed model. For the standard differential GPS method, GPS measurements at two spaced receiving stations; one of which (the reference station) is at a surveyed location, where the effect of the ionosphere can be determined and used to correct the range measurement at the second (mobile) station. An ionospheric correction model has been developed to accurately determine the difference in ionospheric delay expected over a short baseline so that a more accurate differential GPS correction can be made.

However due to the equipment limitation for measurement, the absorber is only tested for 2 GHz and 10 GHz frequency. The pyramidal-shaped was chosen since its performance has been proved to work at microwave frequency. A survey on materials that can be used to coat the absorber has been carried out and variety of the materials was tested. The absorbers are made from polystyrene, which were cut into pyramidal shape and then coated with carbon. The measurement of the pyramidal absorber was done in order to determine its performance.
