Engineering laboratories are key elements in the engineering learning and essential for concrete understanding of engineering topics and experiments. In this work, an educational control laboratory platform has been developed to experimentally introduce the engineering students to the PID and Fuzzy logic based control approaches. Here and with the help of the HMI (human machine interface) the students can see the real time response of the controlled system under the various setting of the used controller. For PID based controller, the system response can be experimented for various values of proportional gain (Kp), integral gain (Ki), and sampling rate. For fuzzy based one, the system response can be experimented for different setting of weight matrix, width of membership functions, sampling rate, and proportional and integral gains of the PID like fuzzy controller.

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are devices which accept entrance analog signals and generate digital signals corresponding to them, suitable for processing by microprocessors and other digital devices. Requirements to ADCs constantly become tougher: they should provide high frequency and accuracy of transformation, to have a wide bandwidth and the big dynamic range. That's why it is important to design ADC with high accuracy.

Traffic classification and statistical trend analysis are critical steps for workload characterization, capacity planning and network policy configuration in computer networks. Additionally application level traffic classification aids in profiling user traffic based on application usage trends. However, user traffic profiling integration in real-time network resource management remains challenging due to variation in user traffic behaviour, requiring repeated manual configuration updates in traditional fixed topology networks. Software defined networks (SDN) on the other hand, due to their centralized control and real-time programmability of network elements, may offer a potential avenue for application based user traffic profiles to effectively allocate and control network resources. In this paper we evaluate the accuracy of developing meaningful user traffic profiles from application usage trends based on traffic flow analysis using k-means clustering algorithm and explore their applicability to software defined networks for real-time traffic management. The results show a considerable variation in application usage trends and associated network statistics among user traffic profiles leading to further propose implementing per profile flow metering and re-routing of resource intensive traffic profiles via different links for effective real-time network resource management in software defined networks.

Body Area Networks (BANs) are considered as the key building blocks for the emerging application of upcoming generation of networks that would be extended towards the wearable technology as well as the Internet of Things. Starting from the traditional network scenarios to today's advanced network infrastructure, BANs have played a very significant role in developing the computer network industry and specifically the medical sector as well. This paper/ article describe several composite research-based approaches for Topology Control (TC) for BANs while considering the network performance. TC considered being major network parameters that profoundly influence different network metrics including the network traffic. Also we discuss on different BAN topologies that should be selected according to the foreseen medical application and the deployment environment. TC techniques have been widely used in Wireless Sensor Network (BANs are one kind of sensor network) so as to reduce the energy consumption, to extend the network operational time, to reduce radio interference and to prove a positive effect on the network traffic carrying capacity etc. In this paper, we also state several problems that are related to the topology control particularly in BANs environment and outline how TC largely influences several parameters on network performances. Our survey also explains about how TC techniques can be intelligently used to enhance and increase the network performance in BANs according to relevant medical application.

In this paper, a low-cost dual-band printed antenna that employs Sierpinski fractal geometry is proposed for possible integration to IEEE 802.11n WLAN standards access points. The designed antenna covers two wireless spectrum bandwidth, they are the ISM 2.4 GHz and the U-NII 5 GHZ. The antenna geometry is confined within a compact size of 75 × 75 × 1.8 mm3. The antenna is mounted on partial ground and fed by microstrip line. It is modelled and optimized using the well-known CST software and the results in terms of reflection coefficient, VSWR, Bandwidth and power Gain are illustrated and compared to previous published literatures.

The suppression of the spectral line is an issue of major interest in the design of compliant Time Hopping Impulse Radio (TH-IR) Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) systems. This issue has been commonly addressed by randomizing the position of each pulse. In practice; it requires the use of very long Pseudo Random (PR) or Pseudo Noise (PN) sequences to approach the spectral line suppression capabilities. This would be achieved by using an ideal random sequence. This paper aims to enhance the Power Spectral Density (PSD) by building the proposed system inside Simulink/Matlab to test some codes for eliminating the spectral lines or make it smoother to reduce the harmful interference problem on other users. This is proposed to be applied without affecting the users of other applications.
