Abstract

Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) are very important components in computer systems. They are digital circuits utilized to perform a wide variety of arithmetic and logic operations. Modern Central Processing Units (CPUs) contain powerful and complex ALUs. One such operation performed by ALUs is that of Multiplication. Multiplication scales one variable by another. This research involves the design, implementation and verification of a 4-digit BCD Multiplier Core with Similarity Investigator for path delay reduction. The system is implemented using Xilinx ISE 14.7, verified using ISim and Digilent Nexy3 toolkit and was utilized as the development platform. The research concluded that similarity investigation was capable of path delay reduction of up to 97% compared to that when no similarity investigation was applied. The system can conduct a maximum of 889 unique multiplication operations before facing diminishing returns as a result of the similarity investigation search procedure.

Abstract

In this research article, a compact plus-shaped L-shaped slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed for various applications, including the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and C-band X-band applications. The rectangular patch includes a plus-shaped slot, with an L-shaped slot cut along it, providing enhanced bandwidth and gain with multiband resonance. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna is also better. The proposed antenna is capable of operating in four bands: (2.0 – 2.5 GHz)/2.2 GHz for GSM and WLAN applications, (3.6 – 3.9 GHz)/3.7 GHz for Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and WiMAX applications, (6.7 -7.4 GHz)/7.1 GHz, and (9.1 – 10.8 GHz)/10 GHz for C- and X-band applications. The impedance bandwidth is 22.7%, 8.1%, 10%, and 17% for each respective frequency range. A parametric analysis of different dimensions, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), surface current distribution, and radiation pattern is presented to verify and validate the design parameters in each sections.

Abstract

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes Covid-19, an infectious illness. A methodology was created to track the vaccination history of people with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes Covid-19, an infectious illness. The system operates on a Raspberry Pi processor that is designed to authenticate the vaccination records of individuals. The Vaccination Identification System consists of various components connected to the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W microprocessor, Pi camera, an LCD display, LED indicators, a buzzer, a DC servo motor, and a PCB converter. The proposed system grants access to vaccinated individuals and denies access to those who are not vaccinated.

Abstract

In this research, a complex wideband antenna with different applications in wireless communication devices is proposed. The proposed wideband antenna resonates at different four frequencies, which include the wireless devices band, an Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and an X-band. This rectangle-shaped antenna with additional stub antennas has FR4 material used as a substrate with dimensions of (26 × 40 × 1.6 mm3). The resulting resonant frequencies cover Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) at 2 GHz and 5.3 GHz, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) at 6.7 GHz, and X-band at 8.7 GHz. The implementation of Defected Ground Structure (DGS) facilitates the reduction in size and increase in antenna performance, and by using the additional stubs, it provides a multi-sharpened band. It has an omnidirectional radiation pattern. Simulation results show that the proposed antenna provides a wide range of frequencies (4-9 GHz).

Abstract

The implementation of nanoelectronic circuits depends on technologies such as Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) or Bipolar CMOS (BICMOS), and the length of the channel can be reduced up to a certain limit. Due to the generation of various errors nanomaterials can be an alternative solution for circuit design. In the field of nanotechnology, Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have become a notable and remarkable invention. Their structure is very similar to that of graphite, and its small size, lightweight, high strength, and good conductivity make them ideal building blocks for future technologies. CNTs hold great promise for being the catalyst for the next technological revolution. Today, a broad range of processes is available to produce various types of CNTs, depending on the rolling times of graphite sheets. This review paper sheds light on the different types of CNTs, their properties, methods of synthesis such as arc discharge and chemical vapor deposition, and their applications. To achieve this goal, this paper provides a review that aims to define the state-of-the-art in this field from a novel and unified perspective while elaborating insights of current developments and emerging trends.
