A study of the behavior of a square cylinder subjected to an upstream uniform air flow is presented. The present investigation uses commercial CFD software FLUENT 6.2.16 to simulate time-resolved flow field using constitutive relationships suitable for laminar flows. Variation of flow induced lift force coefficient is used to estimate shedding frequency and resultant mean structural vibration for the Reynolds number range of 2000-8000. Simulation results in terms of limit cycle oscillation amplitude are compared with pre-existing experimental data.

In this paper we present a new method for detecting moving object in infrared image sequences which contain nuisance objects and noise. The moving target detection approach is based on wavelet transform with GPU implementation. According to the features of the modulus maxima images after wavelet transform, the background clutter and noise are eliminated. The effectiveness of this new method is demonstrated by applying the resulting algorithm to infrared images containing moving targets.

In this paper, a circularly polarized, omnidirectional side-fed bifilar helix antenna, which does not require a ground plane is presented. The antenna has a height of less than 0.1λ and the maximum boresight gain of 1.95dB, with 3dB beamwidth of 93°. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna for VSWR≤2 (with reference to resonant input resistance of 25Ω) is 2.7%. The simulated axial ratio(AR) at the resonant frequency 860MHz is 0.9 ≤AR≤ 1.0 in the whole hemisphere except small region around the nulls. The polarization bandwidth for AR≤3dB is 34.7%. The antenna is especially useful for high speed aerodynamic bodies made of composite materials (such as UAVs) where low profile antennas are essential to reduce air resistance and/or proper metallic ground is not available for monopole-type antenna.

Beamformer is an indispensible part of any phased array system. Analog beamformer is the simpler method where the individual signals received from array of antennas are co-phased and summed to maximize the signal reception. The co-phasing is achieved through data independent weights which are predefined as per direction of arrival. These weights are applied to the analog phase shifter IC, which produces a set of phases in order to compensate the directional phase shifts. Signals are then combined with a power combiner. For realistic demonstration, signals from different locations are transmitted through a transmitter with a horn antenna. The beamformer successfully enhances the signal from the direction of interest.

The present study is focused to evaluate the accuracy of the Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES), Delayed Detached-Eddy Simulation (DDES) and Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations for a mild separation case. An in-house code dynamic grid detached eddy simulation `DG-DES' is used. The modeled turbulent Reynolds stresses are computed as a reference quantity. The flow around Aerospatiale A-airfoil at maximum lift with angle of attack α=13.3° and at a Reynolds number of 2× 106 is taken as the test case. The detailed experimental data for this case is available in the open literature. The computed turbulent Reynolds stresses from DES are lower than RANS within the boundary layer at the leading edge of the suction side. It is argued to be due to the premature switching to less dissipative LES mode within boundary layer. The DDES gives comparable values to RANS, as an expected outcome. It is observed that for the cases with the mild separation, although DDES works in correct fashion in line with the basic concept of treating the whole of the boundary layer in RANS mode. However, the original DES may perform better than the DDES due to lower dissipation characteristics. The DES results on the suction side in the wake-region are encouraging and comparatively better than DDES, despite its switching problem.

We have presented a method for optical generation of doublet and triplet and presented a complete DWDM ring on single fiber with UWB generation for uplink signal. This UWB system can support 3 rings. Optical Add Drop Multiplexers are used at each UWB node to drop and insert the required wavelengths. Simulation of Self-phase modulation is done to study the effects on UWB transmission and method has been proposed to minimize the effects.

This paper presents an application of static and dynamic sliding mode control of ball and beam system. Conventional PID controllers use incomplete simplified models and are mostly designed for linear systems. Although, some PID controllers are designed for nonlinear system but they are using simplified incomplete model which do not cater for matched disturbances. Our proposed control laws using static & dynamic sliding mode control use complete nonlinear system without model approximation. Moreover, static sliding mode control (SSMC) caters for matched disturbance rejection as well. There is an inherent issue of chattering with static sliding mode control (SSMC). However, dynamics sliding mode control (DSMC) counter it well. DSMC is not only equally effective when it comes to matched disturbance rejection but also removes chattering as well. In the end detailed comparative analysis is presented and experimental results confirm the superiority of DSMC.

This paper describes the design and realization of 7th order Ku-band bandpass filter. This filter is a part of pre-filter required for desired frequency spectrum selection in a communication satellite. The filter is realized with rectangular waveguide WR75 in TE101 mode; because it can give optimum size with high unloaded quality factor and wide spurious free window. The engineering model of the filter is realized with Aluminum material. Temperature variations cause the volumetric thermal expansion of the filter and the equivalent linear frequency drift is incorporated at the synthesis stage of the filter. Tolerance analysis of the filter is also performed to compensate the manufacturing errors. Semi-miniaturized SMA to waveguide transformers were also developed for testing of the filter. Filter is synthesized using indigenously developed software tool. Utilizing the coupling matrix; each inter-resonator coupling iris and input/output iris is designed separately. There is a good overlap of the tested and the simulated responses.
