In this paper, the design of wide-band variable gain low noise amplifier (VGLNA) MMIC operating in 4-10 GHz frequency range has been presented. The MMIC has been designed and fabricated on 0.15um InGaAs pseudomorphic high electron-mobility transistor (pHEMPT) process from WIN Semiconductors Corporation. The proposed design consists of two amplifier stages: First stage is constant gain, low noise stage whereas the second stage is variable gain stage. In order to achieve flat gain in wide bandwidth, RC feedback topology is used in both the stages. The measured results show good agreement with the simulation results. The measured Gain of the VGLNA MMIC is 19 dB and the noise figure is 2.5 dB. Gain flatness of better than ±0.7 dB is achieved from 4 to 10 GHz, which corresponds to extremely wide flat gain bandwidth of 85%. The measured input and output return losses are better than 10 dB in the whole frequency band. The Gain is controllable by external DC control voltage. Gain variation range of more than 20 dB is achieved corresponding to control voltage variation from 0 to 3V. The maximum output power, corresponding to 1-dB compression point is +2 dBm. The chip consumes 60mA nominal DC current at +3V DC supply voltage; which corresponds to very low DC power consumption of 180mW. The VGLNA MMIC only utilizes two active p-HEMT devices and the occupied fabrication area is 1.5 mm x 0.8 mm; which is quite compact for this circuit. To our knowledge, these performance parameters are among the best reported up till now for variable gain LNA MMIC developed on GaAs pHEMT, in this frequency range.

Operating, maintaining, and upgrading legacy systems are the foremost challenges which are being faced by many organizations today. Usually, these systems are based on outdated technologies, have limited documentation, and actual developers are unavailable. It is risky to upgrade black-box legacy systems without knowing their internal structures. In this paper, we have proposed an approach which is based on the state of the art dynamic analysis technique known as Model Learning, a reverse engineering approach, to infer the behavioral models of legacy systems. We prepared and utilized our test-bed for black-box vending machines (considered as legacy systems) to learn the behavioral models of all the software modules embedded in vending machines. The in-depth analysis of learned models is helpful in the operation, up-gradation, and maintenance of the legacy system. The experimental results reveal that our proposed approach is very auspicious to modernize the legacy components and explore the concealed structures of the black-box systems automatically.

Aerodynamic performance and stability parameters of high wing piston engine aircraft were evaluated using Computational Fluid Dynamics and validated against wind tunnel test and analytical solution. The results were calculated at various angles of attack and angles of sideslip at standard sea level conditions and at 121 Kts. Aircraft geometry was scanned with scanner and meshing was carried out using hexagonal mesh elements with growth ratio of 1.2. SA turbulence model was used in commercially available software Fluent®. Boundary layer effects were modeled using prism elements with y+ value of 35 and standard wall functions. Convergence was achieved in around 12000 iterations using 6.34 million volume mesh. It was found that gradient of pitching moment coefficient with angle of attack was -0.003 rad-1 which showed longitudinal stable behavior. However, the trim angle of attack was obtained as -2o therefore aircraft needs to be trimmed at positive angle of attack for steady and level flight. It is also found that tendency of instability is caused mainly by swirl effect of propeller. Rolling and yawing moment coefficients showed that aircraft not only underwent positive yaw but also rolled towards right. This yaw-roll coupling was computationally captured, however magnitude of yaw-roll coupling was found to be very small due to the swept forward wings and high wing configuration. Wind tunnel tests were carried out at 121Kts and lift and drag coefficients were compared with CFD results. Wind tunnel tests over predicted coefficient of lift at all angles of attack, however it under predicted coefficient of drag at all angles of attack. Most probable cause of this deviation seems to be more turbulence and vibration level of wind tunnel. The Zero lift drag coefficient of aircraft was found to be higher as compared to other similar aircraft like Cessna 172.

Conventional model predictive control method uses one optimal voltage vector during a control period. It causes higher flux and torque ripples and harmonics. It also heavily relies on system parameters which no more remain constant with the passage of time due to changes in temperature. This paper proposes an improved version of finite control set model predictive current control method with duty cycle. Introduction of duty cycle allows the freedom to incorporate a zero voltage vector with optimal one for a calculated fraction of control period. In order to make model predictive control method independent of system parameters, emf estimation is introduced which takes into account voltage and current vectors from previous control intervals. Simulations have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of proposed methodology.

Polygraph based detection systems have been used for performing guilty knowledge test (GKT) over a long period of time. More recently the advances in medical imaging techniques have resulted in a better understanding of brain activity. These techniques (e.g. functional magnetic resonance imaging) have allowed researchers to generate applications that are based on the enhanced understanding of brain function. Detection of concealed information using brain activity is explored in this study as a better alternative to a Polygraph. Electroencephalography (EEG) allows decoding brain signals with a higher temporal resolution by applying smart signal processing techniques. In this work a commercial off the shelf wearable EEG headset is used to record brain signals in an information concealment testing environment. Although the use of such setup restricts the number of EEG channels available to the detection algorithm, but it provides portability and ease of use when compared to clinical EEG setup. The proposed algorithm is designed to give optimum results in terms of accuracy and computation time with emphasis on an easily deployable system.

The existing robotic walk assist devices (RWAD) are not affordable for everyone particularly in low income countries like Pakistan. In addition, convincing people to adopt such devices is somehow challenging due to lack of trust, dependability and cultural constraints. Safety of the users is also a major concern. Many researchers are currently working in this area to come up with better mechanical design along with safe and trust worthy control techniques. Some aspects of safety can be addressed with the help of compliance (low-stiffness and flexibility) control. Compliance(low stiffness) control will make RWAD more user friendly by limiting the forces RWAD applied on the human user. In this paper a model reference compliance control scheme is suggested for a robotic walk assist device based on integral sliding mode control (ISMC) coupled with a dynamic model based feedback linearization controller. Joint torques feedback from the knee and hip joints are used to make the robotic walk assist device compliant via ISMC. A mass-spring-damper system is used as a compliant reference model. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the suggested scheme.

Ocean seems to be silent but actually it is not so. It is always enriched with a background noise known as ambient noise caused by wind, heat, turbulence and some other activities and natural phenomenon. This noise poses considerable hindrances in undersea acoustic communication which is so essential for Oceanographic Monitoring. Oceanographic monitoring covers numerous undersea applications like oceanographic data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore undersea exploration, detect climate changes, seismic monitoring, disaster prevention etc. Exploring the latest statistical characterization trends of Indian Ocean ambient noise in highly spatiotemporal sea environment, we put forward a different approach based on Monte-Carlo simulation method to explore, analyze and verify the empirical data / observations of deep sea ambient noise against its well-known standard Gaussian model in both narrowband and broadband frequency spectrums. Results of variances reveal that the actual ambient noise observations are in very close agreement with the predicted standard Gaussian model in most of the selected broadband frequency spectrums except the narrowband frequency spectrum in which the data summary statistics is numerically found to be non-symmetric. This exception in results has a profound impact on the understanding and behavioral modeling of deep sea ambient noise which is to be analyzed specifically in the narrowband frequency spectrum.

First generation membranes developed were non-resorbable and required a second surgical procedure for their removal. In order to overcome this obstacle biodegradable, resorb-able composite films were developed which may also assist in bone healing. In this paper, composite films comprising varying amounts of nano hydroxyapatite (0.5-30%) in chitosan (biopolymer) matrix were prepared by solvent casting method. Composite films were further characterized and mechanical properties were evaluated. Results showed increased strength and stability until 10-wt% HA beyond which properties declined. Immersion of composite films in SBF solution confirmed their bioactivity. This study concludes composite films with 10-wt% HA as a potential candidate for barrier films in the field of orthopedics and dentistry.

In digital communication system and signal processing, Viterbi algorithm is an optimal solution for error detection and correction. Viterbi algorithm finds the most likely closet sequence in distance to the received sequence of noisy symbol. Performance and hardware implementing complexity of Viterbi algorithm is mainly depend on constraint length. Larger constraint length requires more memory but provides lower Bit Error rate (BER) without increasing the signal power. In this paper, Viterbi algorithm is analyzed for BPSK modulated convolutional encoded data over AWGN channel on different constraint lengths. Trace back and Trace forward methods are also reviewed for better memory utilization and computational complexity.

Response during energy absorption of a tube system is the key for its application in structures under dynamic loading. An ideal energy absorber should behave with a low peak force, high mean crushing force and with a smooth force displacement curve while under dynamic loading. In this particular study, a bunch of metallic 3-step stepped-tubes with ascending number of stepped-tubes in different configurations are placed inside a metallic thin-walled tube and are numerically investigated for its energy absorption characteristics under dynamic axial loads. Stepped-tubes can absorb energy with progressive failure as per specific need of the design but their geometry parameters influence their performance. One of the initial proposed configurations with five stepped-tubes arrangement is further investigated for changing geometry of stepped-tube and sensitivity of energy absorption characteristics with changed geometry are studied. Deformation modes and different energy absorption parameters such as peak value of crushing force, specific energy absorption, mean crushing force and crush force efficiency are plotted for all of the configurations. Results are compared with published numerical and experimental results for the impact of the proposed configurations on energy absorption capability.

Results are compared with published numerical and experimental results for the impact of the proposed configurations on energy absorption capability.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134354176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
