Abstract

This paper deals with a Photovoltaic (PV) controlled pumping system. The topology is a sunshine PV pumping system which consists of a PV generator (PVG), a DC_DC power electronics converter and a DC motor coupled to a positive displacement pump. The proposed PV pumping system works without storage batteries. Water tank can be used as a storage one such as for irrigation use. The proposed system topology consists of a simple electronic design which is suitable for remote areas. The overall proposed algorithm is built around a Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) DC-DC converter controller yielding to a high efficiency solar pumping system. The purpose of this work is to present a new ANFIS-PV which is designed as a combination of the concepts incorporating Sugeno fuzzy model and neural networks. This last uses directly the PVG current and power as the MPPT controller inputs. Matlab Simulation results are selected and presented to highlight improvement for the overall proposed pumping scheme.

Abstract

This paper implements the transmission and reception of different number of user signals modulated by Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) using CDMA. The transmitting signal goes through the communication channel. It is a medium that is between the transmitter and receiver and is modeled by the impulse response of multi path fading channel and it consists of additive White Gaussian Noise that is AWGN channel. The Decision Feed Back Equalizer (DFE) used to identify different user signals and then demodulates them to get all different user signals. Simulations shows the Decision feedback equalizers (DFE), compared with the Linear equalizers is simulated using MATLAB.

Abstract

Guided/Radiation modes of a multilayer symmetric slab waveguide are treated in detail. Since the slab is assumed to be infinite extended in the   plane, all field quantities are considered to be independent of . The analysis is based on modal expansion formulation and the modes can be classified as TE and TM as well as even and odd ones. Applying the boundary conditions at the interfaces, the expansion coefficients of the field components are easily calculated. In addition, the normalization factors, and the orthogonal ties properties are determined by deriving appropriate integrals over the cross-section of the waveguide. Finally the result is validated with some examples.

Abstract

Modern wireless network is expected to support multimedia traffic and to provide the very high Quality of service (Qos) in multimedia network, how to ensure the very high Quality of service in multimedia network is the emerging technology. Call Admission Control (CAC) plays an important role in the QoS guarantee of multimedia network. Many CAC schemes aim to satisfying QoS requirement and upgrading network utilization, but they ignore the fairness principle in network. Directly and simple using these CAC schemes, it will appear the phenomenon of unbalance that the narrow band calls block the broad band calls. So, this paper proposes a fair call admission control scheme by introducing call hold control. Numerical results shows that the new scheme not only realizes the balancing accessing machinery to all calls, but also decrease CBP (Call Block Probability) and improves network utilization.

Abstract

A new filter strategy for harmonic elimination is introduced in this paper. The proposed filter eliminate undesirable harmonic from periodic signal. The proposed approach eliminates all harmonics component from periodic signal and it requires only knowledge of the frequency of the fundamental component.    Adaptation process adjusts weights to exactly match amplitude and phase of      fundamental frequency component and   the outputs of the filter is a harmonics replica and are subtracted   from the original composite waveform to eliminate them. The bipolar waveforms are roughly analyzed. The simulation results show that the method can effectively eliminate undesirable harmonics and result in low(less than one percentage) total harmonic distortion (THD).

Abstract

Images are captured at low contrast in a number of different scenarios. Image enhancement algorithms are used in a variety of image processing applications, primarily to improve or enhance the visual quality of an image by accentuating certain features. Image processing modifies pictures to improve them (enhancement, restoration) to prepare suitable images for various applications from raw unprocessed images.Image enhancement improves the quality (clarity) of images for human viewing. Increasing contrast, and revealing details are examples of enhancement operations whereas removing blurring and noise comes under the category Image restoration.

In this paper comparison ofdifferent algorithms are used for image enhancement (histogram equalization, adaptive histogram equalization, continuous histogram equalization, decorrelation stretching, median filtering, negative image and intensity adjustment). In this decorrelation stretching, median filtering and intensity adjustment together gives the best method for enhancing because it not only increases the intensity values but also removes salt-and-pepper noise.
