However, it is also followed by increasing of capacity demand, but the available frequency spectrum is also limited. To resolve these problems, a smart antenna using beamforming system has been developed. Smart antenna system has two types, there are switched beam and adaptive array. Beam switch system has been developed because simpler in its implementation and more economical than the adaptive array system. Unlike the adaptive array systems, beam switch system consists of some radiating elements, beamforming network, and RF switches while adaptive array system requires components and signal processing which is more complicated. This research is focusing on the implementation of threshold crossing algorithms for the beamforming control system. Threshold crossing algorithm will compare the analog voltage received by the antenna to the threshold voltage. The result of this programming is shown that the microcontroller is able to calculate the threshold voltage automatically and compare the input value with the threshold value.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"59 1","pages":"1284-1287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72808884","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}

Monopole antenna is one of the potential candidate for UWB applications. Yet, it has poor directivity and gain due to low profile. Previous studies have made change on the configuration of monopole antenna itself to enhance gain. This paper proposes Defected Waveguide Structure to design externally with monopole antenna without reconfiguring monopole antenna. The waveguide is designed according dimension of monopole antenna. DWS waveguide is designed to have square, circle and spiral shapes in patch. Monopole antenna will act as input to those waveguides. The effects of different DWS waveguides towards monopole antenna will be investigated through antenna parameters. Meanwhile, the performances of DWS waveguides will be also analyzed through transmission coefficient (S21) by setting two monopole antennas at the both open-ended surfaces of waveguide. In overall, monopole antenna achieves wide bandwidth of 8.54 GHz and highest efficiency. Monopole antenna with waveguide achieves narrow bandwidth of 2.76 GHz and low efficiency. Yet, it improves directivity obviously at 2GHz–7 GHz. Monopole antenna with all the DWS waveguide still maintain wide bandwidth of 8.6 GHz at the same time improve directivity and gain. Monopole antenna with square DWS waveguide shows highest directivity and gain at 2GHz–8.5 GHz. Monopole antenna with circle DWS waveguide demonstrates highest directivity and gain at 9GHz–10GHz. Monopole antenna with spiral DWS waveguide shows highest efficiency compares to others DWS waveguide.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"13 1","pages":"1428-1436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74504252","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}

{"title":"A directional, low-profile zero-phase-shift-line (ZPSL) loop antenna for UHF near-field RFID applications","authors":"Yunjia Zeng, X. Qing, Zhi Ning Chen","doi":"10.1109/PIERS-FALL.2017.8293242","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PIERS-FALL.2017.8293242","url":null,"abstract":"A low-profile zero-phase-shift-line (ZPSL) loop antenna is proposed to achieve a directional magnetic near-field distribution for applications in ultra-high frequency (UHF) near-field radio-frequency identification (RFID). The proposed antenna consists of three coaxially-stacked components, including a driven ZPSL loop, a parasitic ZPSL loop, and a metallic plate reflector. Conventional directional antennas that involve metallic plate reflectors require an optimal separation of one-quarter of a wavelength at the operating frequency between the antenna and the plate. Decreasing the separation would result in poor impedance matching as well as a reduction in gain for far-field antennas. To realize a low-profile directional far-field antenna, a novel approach was recently proposed by adding a parasitic strip between a dipole antenna and a metallic plate reflector, such that the phase of the reflected wave can be properly controlled. In this manner, the separation between the antenna and the reflector is reduced to 0.05 of the operating wavelength, while keeping the reflected and the directly radiated fields in phase in the desired direction. In this paper, such an approach is extended to the design of near-field antenna. Because of the geometry of the bi-directional ZSPL loop, the parasitic element is chosen as an aperiodic ZPSL loop that has the same geometry as the driven element to ensure a strong coupling between the two loops. In the design of near-field antennas, the current distributions of the antennas are the decisive factors affecting the near-field distributions. Therefore, the proposed antenna is designed based on the current distributions instead of the phase information as in the case of far-field antennas. The proposed antenna is fabricated and measured, and it proves to be an effective reader antenna for UHF near-field RFID applications.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"18 1","pages":"786-791"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73163784","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}

As broadband access technologies develop and competition between different services becomes higher the need for addition regulation, for different services to coexist on equal terms, becomes necessary. As a result, net neutrality principles were introduced, which aim is to allow all services to ensure that there is no traffic discrimination on the internet. In the European Union European Commission developed regulation for net neutrality, providing basic net neutrality principles to be respected and implemented in all European countries. Outside Europe net neutrality question is also actual and is actively discussed and measures are taken to ensure that neutrality principles are implemented. Still many question regarding new regulation in net neutrality stay open. One of them is quality of service in scope of net neutrality. New regulation defines specific internet access services parameters of speeds to be measured and analysed for fixed and mobile networks. Those parameters include minimum, maximum, normally available and advertised speed for fixed broadband networks, and estimated maximum and advertised speed for mobile broadband networks. Regulation provides examples, but does not define the exact measurement and result analysis options most suitable for different measurement scenarios in fixed or mobile network As one of the corresponding projects — mapping of broadband service parameters when measurement results are visualised on map, is very actual, mapping options should also be considered, and to ensure that mapping for all countries measured parameters is united, and measurements are made and proceeded in the same manner in all countries. So, the way the network speed parameters are analysed and proceeded are very important also in the mapping context. Different scenarios of network parameter measurement result distribution are possible. As relevant regulations define specific parameters that should be measured, it is necessary to understand, and then implement very accurate and most suitable data analysis, taking into account different data distribution scenarios, to determine correct result. The main objective of this investigation is to determine analysis options and to choose optimal measurement samples of the quality of service parameters for the further analysis in the context of net neutrality principles providing united measurement and measurement result analysis methodology.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"17 10","pages":"1230-1234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72612395","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}

Here, we obtain a simple expression for the normalized OAM. The OAM decreases with increasing focal length of the cylindrical lens. It also increases (in modulus) with increasing difference of squared waist radii. We study conditions, where this beam has large value of the OAM. The advantage of the proposed method is that laser beams with large values of OAM can be generated by using simple optical elements — cylindrical lenses.

This paper presents a novel circular antenna array for microwave relay communication, which is the transceiver hardware foundation of OAM electromagnetic wave. The antenna array is composed of horn antennas operating at E-Band, which has good polarization purity to effectively confront polarization fading in wireless channel. The electromagnetic waves with dual characteristics of circular polarization and multi-modal vortex OAM is generated with the optimization design of antenna forms and distance between the elements. In order to avoid the degradation of OAM mode transmission in the free space, the number of antenna elements and relation between transmission distance of electromagnetic vortex wave and antenna array form are discussed. A reasonable OAM antenna aperture is obtained based on the simulation of electromagnetic waves propagation. The stable convergence of gain pattern and phase distribution proves the circular antenna array could be applied to OAM relay communication by combining with advanced weights optimization method.","PeriodicalId":39469,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Education","volume":"197 1","pages":"605-609"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77288061","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}
