Abstract

While planning and designing the operation of the wireless sensor network, major focus is always on balancing the energy consumption, lifetime of the node and data aggregation. This may be achieved through suitable clustering technique which helps in minimizing the distance between cluster head nodes and associated cluster members. Some of the algorithms like, LEACH, GCA (Genetic Clustering Algorithm), ERP (Evolutionary Routing Protocol), EAERP (Energy Aware Evolutionary Routing Protocol), HSA (Harmony Search Algorithm) work on similar lines. Due to variety of constraints inherently present in WSN, the objective function of clustering technique is of multi-objective nature. One of the objectives may be of minimization type whereas other may be of maximization type. Due to conflicting goals of objective functions it might be difficult to find a unique and optimal solution. This paper examines multiple solutions and compares performance of these candidate solutions for their applicability in the clustering process of WSN. Pareto optimality concept has been incorporated in the proposed work for multi-objective problem of clustering in WSN. Multiple objectives based approach with customized stopping criteria in the proposed work results in to near optimal solutions with reduced simulation time requirements and improved network performance in terms of energy usage, data delivery from the sensor nodes to the base station.

Abstract

Conformal antennas are required whenever an antenna has to conform geometrically to some shaped surface. In this paper a cylindrical conformal antenna array with line feed technique is implemented. At first, an inverted U- slotted non conformal circular patched antenna with a radius of 16.3 mm, thickness of 1.6 mm, and a substrate permittivity of 4.4 is designed to operate at 2.4 GHz. The simulated results are in close agreement with measured results. The measured S11 for non-conformal antenna is -17.4 dB at 2.4 GHz. The inverted U-slotted circular patch antenna is made conformal to cylindrically bent substrate of thickness 0.762 mm with a permittivity of 2.55 and it resonates at 2.63 GHz. Further, an array of three elements of conformal U-slotted circular patch antenna flush mounted on cylinder 1200 apart. From the results, it is evident that gain is increased with cylindrical conformal array antenna. The gain of proposed conformal array antenna is of 5.02 dB. Simulation is carried out using HFSS software.

Abstract

In recent years with various developments in wireless technologies, the interfaces between an automobile and the communication around it has been evolved from simple FM radios to GPS, LTE and many more. Each of these technologies works in their own frequency bands, so there is a need to design a multi-antenna system that can efficiently receive signals on all these bands. In this project we aim to create an antenna-system for LTE band-40, GPS (L-band), WAVE (IEEE 802.11 p) and WLAN band (2300 MHz-2400 MHz, 1575.42 MHz, 5.9 GHz and 2.4 GHz respectively). A pair of rectangular patch geometries that together support these four bands. One supports the GPS and WLAN bands, while the other supports the LTE and WAVE bands. Various antenna characteristics have been simulated and measured to check the feasibility of applying the proposed system in the real world. All these antennas will be packaged in compact plastic shark-fin case for easy deployment.
