Abstract

The design of a compact monopole dual-band antenna suitable for dual-band applications is proposed in this research. The antenna consists of eight rectangular patches, each measuring 40 × 30 × 1.6 mm³. It is designed to operate in two frequency bands: 2.18–2.63 GHz and 7.10–7.91 GHz, with resonance frequencies at 2.4 GHz and 7.5 GHz, ensuring a return loss (S11) of less than 10 dB. The results demonstrate that the proposed antenna achieves a bandwidth of 450 MHz (2.18–2.63 GHz) and 810 MHz (7.10–7.91 GHz). This bandwidth coverage allows for the inclusion of the 2.4 GHz range required for WiMAX as well as the 7.5 GHz range suitable for short-range radar and wireless data transmission applications. The antenna is simulated using HFSS v13 software, providing an accurate and reliable analysis of its performance. The compact size of the antenna makes it suitable for integration into various wireless devices and systems, offering versatility and adaptability. Overall, the presented compact monopole dual-band antenna demonstrates its efficacy in achieving dual-band operation, covering essential frequency ranges for WiMAX, short-range radar, and wireless data transmission applications. Its compact design and wide bandwidth make it a valuable candidate for modern wireless communication systems.

Abstract

The adder is a vital part of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) that can perform computational operations. It is used in digital components, mainly in the design of integrated circuits. Recent decades have seen a sharp rise in demand for mobile electronics, which has increased the need for highly efficient Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) structures. All operations must be computed using low-power, space-efficient designs that run faster. The Kogge-Stone adder (KSA) is an extension of the carry look-ahead adder which is used for performing fast addition in high-performance computing systems. This study compares the latency, space, and energy used by the Kogge-Stone Adder after development and implementation in Xilinx Vivado using Verilog to those of the Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) and Carry Lookahead Adder (CLA). The results show that the KSA has a decrease in power consumption as well as improvements in high speed and area compaction when compared to the RCA and CLA.

Abstract

The integration of an E-slot within the conventional microstrip patch antenna structure offers improved radiation characteristics and bandwidth. This research presents the design and analysis of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna with an E-slot. The proposed antenna is designed to operate at a specific frequency in the microwave range. The design process involves determining the dimensions of the rectangular patch, feedline, and E-slot to achieve the desired resonance frequency. The simulation and optimization are carried out using electromagnetic simulation software, considering the dielectric substrate properties and other relevant parameters. The E-slot is strategically placed within the patch structure to enhance the antenna's performance. It acts as an additional resonating element, contributing to increased bandwidth and improved radiation characteristics, such as gain and directivity. The integration of the E-slot modifies the current distribution on the patch, resulting in enhanced radiation properties. The performance of the proposed antenna is evaluated through various parameters, including return loss, radiation pattern, and bandwidth. Overall, the rectangular microstrip patch antenna with an E-slot presents a promising solution for achieving enhanced performance in terms of bandwidth and radiation characteristics. The proposed design opens up possibilities for further advancements in microstrip antenna technology, facilitating the development of an efficient and compact antenna structure for modern wireless applications.

Abstract

The Binary Min-Redundancy Max-Diversity (BMRMD) was utilized to determine the computer network hacking and attacks. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is crucial for detecting attacks on an organization, which have increased in size and scale, as well as other anomalies. IDS achieves this by preparing for the unauthorized information related to network security and it is essential for distinguishing various types of attacks. The organization's traffic dataset contains numerous highlights, so selecting and eliminating irrelevant items improves the accuracy of the organization's calculations. Containing a large amount of meaningless or excessive data, a dataset can cause fitting problems and reduce the capacity of the model to learn meaningful patterns. BRMMD approach covers not only the significance of each element but also the expected accuracy when an ideal set of features is given. Solving such challenges requires a series of feature selection techniques. Therefore, the challenge is addressed by evaluating the repeatability of the features and determining their relevance to the target class based on the optimal grouping of the included features.
