Abstract

Wireless communication system have been well analyzed with flat fading and AWGN present in the channel for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, wireless transmission channels in closed space should be considered to have frequency selective nature. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the probability of error of the systems operating in a frequency selective fading channel is performed in this paper. The authors investigated a novel mathematical model of a communication system using chaotic spreading sequences over frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels in WSNs. They also explore the potential use of chip-interleaving technique to reduce the fading influence. Furthermore, all the theoretical closed form expressions are performed in the discrete time domain form, which has not been used before and it is suitable for direct implementation in DSP or VLSI. Theoretical probability of error expressions in closed form are derived. Simulation results are present to confirm the theoretical expressions.

Abstract

A compact microstrip line fed wideband antenna with slotted structure is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna comprises a U-shape like structure with rectangular slot in ground. The partial ground structure with the patch structure is simulated on HFSS 13.0 and then the antenna is fabricated with the inexpensive substrate FR4 and an overall dimension 3 of 25 x 25 x 1.6 mm . The slot structure is used to improve the bandwidth of antenna. The result shows that the proposed antenna achieves good impedance matching. It has a constant gain and stable radiation pattern over the operating band 3.05-6.55 GHz and 9.2-11.6 GHz that covers the most band of UWB. A gain of 3.44 dBi with nearly stable radiation pattern makes the proposed antenna suitable for many different frequency band applications.

Abstract

This paper presents proficient scheme of design optimization using curve fitting inspired PSO algorithm for improvisation of coplanar ground plane in CPW fed Microstrip Patch Antenna. Finite element based EM solver is employed for analyzing the performance of patch radiator. Tapering in ground plane is introduced for enhancement of operational bandwidth of patch antenna. Curve fitting technique is implemented over the data set generated by varying tapered length and width of ground plane to predict mathematical equations relating different antenna parameters. Using these equations,a fitness function is created for PSO based design optimization. The discussed approach for design optimization of CPW fed patch antenna results in better impedance matching with bandwidth enhancement of approximately 200 % (6.40 GHz-9.41 GHz), when compared to manual design optimization (6.46 GHz-7.44 GHz and 8.22 GHz-9.83 GHz) using trial and error method.The application of optimization techniques in electromagnetics has hindrance due to lack of appropriate fitness functions. The aim of the study is to use curve fitting approach for the generalization of fitness function so as to optimize the structure using a robust optimization algorithm instead of relying on common approach of trial and error method.
