The study of the dispersion phenomena of a planar transmission line in boxed structure is very intricate. In this paper we will try to determine the origin of the different modes by varying the geometrical parameters of the structure at a given frequency. We will also study the complex modes and their effects on thee characterisation of the planar discontinuities. 相似文献
Digital watermarking can be used as data hiding technique to interleave medical images with patient information before transmitting
and storing applications. While digital image watermarking and lossy compression methods have been widely studied, much less
attention has been paid to their application in medical imaging situations, due partially to speculations on loss in viewer
performance caused by degradation of image information. This article describes an hybrid data hiding/compression system, adapted
to medical imaging. The central contribution is to integrate blind watermarking, based on turbo trellis-coded quantization,
to JP3D encoder. The latter meets conformity condition, with respect to its antecedents JPEG2000 coders. Thus, the watermark
embedding can be applied on two-dimensional as well as volumetric images. Results of our method applied to magnetic resonance
and computed tomography medical images have shown that our watermarking scheme is robust to JP3D compression attacks and can
provide relative high data embedding rate whereas keep a relative lower distortion. 相似文献
A new formulation for extracting the elements of the small-signal equivalent-circuit model of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is proposed in this paper. This approach avoids the main problem of the conventional extraction methods which, in most cases, is the use of brute-force optimization techniques to extract a large number of parameters. At the beginning, this technique first uses the extraction procedure of a low-frequency HBT model. An analytical formulation that allows the reduction of the number of the unknowns of the low-frequency model to only two, which have to be calculated using a suitable optimization technique, is described. This makes the optimization problem much easier to handle and increases the probability for converging to the actual elements of the model, thus avoiding the converging to spurious solutions. Secondly, in order to extend the model to higher frequencies, a statistical approach is proposed to extract parasitic extrinsic elements. An experimental validation is carried out on three HBT devices and satisfactory results are obtained up to 30 GHz 相似文献
An efficient analytical integration technique for computation of spatial method of moments (MoM) integrals in conjunction with numerical matched loads is presented. The current distribution on the device is solved by using the well-known Galerkin’s MoM procedure applied to mixed potential integral equation in the spatial domain. The scattering parameters are determined by considering infinite lines at each port where only the fundamental mode is assumed to propagate. The contribution of this work is the development of an integration technique for the computation of spatial domain integrals, that is fast and rigorous. This technique is based on a Taylor series expansion of the integrands involving only polynomial functions. The use of polynomial forms in the integrals leads an immediate analytical integration, and the computation time will be considerably reduced. 相似文献
In the future fifth generation networked society, devices will suffer from the asynchronous multi-carrier effect which impacts the user’s quality of experience. This paper investigates the timing misalignment effect on interference level in the context of a cognitive radio (CR) network. Our study considers both multicarrier techniques orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and filter bank multicarrier (FBMC). The originality of our paper consists in proposing a simple but accurate analytical model to evaluate our system’s performance in terms of interference level, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and bit error rate. Specifically, two case studies are considered, a single-user case (one primary user and one secondary user) and a multi-user case with exact theoretical expressions of interference level. We had also made a comparison between OFDM and FBMC techniques. The most striking observation to emerge from our results is that the asynchronous interference is inversely propositional to timing offset even for the multi-user case, and that differences in the normalized interference level between the single/multi-user cases is barely perceived for the FBMC technique, proving its efficiency. Our simulations’ results had further strengthened our confidence in the suggested model. It shows that FBMC is best suited for CR networks since it provides BER improvements compared to OFDM.
This paper focuses on applying a wireless power transfer WPT technology in an electric vehicle battery charger. The wireless charger system is based on the principle of resonance inductive coupling power through a coreless transformer. The WPT system is considered as a multi parameter and multi constrained nonlinear system. The main contribution in this paper is the use of PSO and GA metaheuristic algorithms in the optimization of a transformer design regarding the impact of a lateral misalignment and the separation distance between the primary and secondary coils. To find the best global solution which is considered as the maximum efficiency in the complex system, both algorithms are compared. A perturbation-and-observation-based tracking system is developed through an efficiency sensing system to act on the misalignment issue and the car position. An additional PSO controller is performed to control the duty cycle of the boost converter in order to follows the maximum efficiency operating points of a WPT system. The discrepancy is the use of the resonant inductive coupling as a source of the MPPT so as to perturb the car position and observe the transferred. Furthermore, the modeling of a contactless transformer is optimized using metaheuristic algorithm. 相似文献
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a novel cooperative adaptive relaying scheme called ISDF (Incremental Selective Decode and Forward). We compare the energy efficiency of this underlying scheme with direct transmission (DT), Fixed and adaptive relaying schemes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The system is constrained by a minimum value of Signal-to- Noise Ratio (SNR) and the end-to-end throughput. We consider a three-node cooperative system. The relay is equidistant to the source and destination, and then we study different positions of the latter. The destination receives two copies of the message: one from the source and the other from the relay. Then it combines them by using maximal ratio combining (MRC). The proposed scheme differs from other schemes by the combination of the selective decode and forward scheme with the incremental scheme which requires the presence of a feed-back from the destination. The analysis reveals that the proposed ISDF provides good energy efficiency compared to DT and other cooperative schemes. It also shows that DF cooperative scheme (decode and forward , either with feedback or no, is outperformed by AF (amplify and forward) scheme especially when the relay is placed near the destination.
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), node mobility management is performed by the routing protocol. It may use metrics to reflect link state/quality. But, the delay between measures of the link quality and its integration in the route computation is very detrimental to the mobility management. Consequently, routing protocols may use lossy links for a few seconds leading to a significant performance deterioration. In this paper, we propose a new routing metric technique calculation which aims at anticipating link quality. Basically, the idea is to predict metric values a few seconds in advance, in order to compensate the delay involved by the link quality measurement and their dissemination by the routing protocol. Our technique is based on measurements of signal strength and is integrated in two classical routing metrics: ETX (expected transmission count) and ETT (expected transmission time). Validations are performed through both simulations and a testbed experimentation with OLSR as routing protocol. NS-3 simulations show that our metric may lead to a perfect mobility management with a packet delivery ratio of 100%. Experiments on a testbed prove the feasibility of our approach and show that this technique reduces the packet error rate by a factor of 3 in an indoor environment compared to the classical metrics calculation. 相似文献
