Manuscript Title:Parametric Analysis of an Ultra Wideband Elliptical Notched Multi-Resonance Lower Edge Corner Defected Patch with Enhanced Bandwidth
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-2-232314
Abstract:

In this article, an ultra wideband (UWB-3.1 to 10.6 GHz) elliptical notched multi-resonance antenna with defective ground structure (DGS) with enhanced bandwidth was addressed. The enhancement of the bandwidth and multiple resonance characteristics can be achieved by arc truncation of lower edges of the patch. The matching characteristics can be improved by elliptical notch in the patch and DGS. The antenna covered UWB and resonating at multiple bands i.e.3.9 GHz (Worldwide Interoperability forMicrowave Access (WiMAX)), 5.72 GHz (WirelessLocal Area Network/High Performance RadioLocal Area Network2 (WLAN/HIPERLAN2)), 8.5GHz (satellite Up-Link), 12.5 GHz (Broadcastingsatellite down region I and II) and 14.8 GHz(Broadcasting satellite Up- Link).It is operating inthe frequency range of 2 to greater than 15 GHz(i.e. Bandwidth > 13 GHz). The patch was designedon the top of FR-4 substrate and is excited by a 50Ohm microstrip line. A partial defected groundstructure was printed in the back of the substrate.The proposed structure was designed and simulatedby Microwave Studio Computer SimulationTechnology (MS CST) .By observing the return loss(S11<-10dB), voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR <2), radiation patterns (Omni-directional), gain (< 5dB) and bandwidth, the performance of theantenna can be estimated. The simulated andmeasured results were compared, and the resultsare validated to justify the applicability of theproposed antenna. The parametric analysis of theantenna has been carried out by varying variousparameters.

Manuscript Title:Design, Simulation and Comparison of Band Stop Filters of Different Hexagonal Metamaterial Shape Resonators
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-4-252349
Abstract:

This paper design and analyses the performance of various hexagonal-shaped metamaterial structures used in the design of band-stop filters (BSFs). This is a comparative study of metamaterial-based BSFs using different resonators like Hexagonal Split Ring Resonator (HSRR), Hexagonal Metamaterial Cell (HMC) or Novel Hexagonal Metamaterial Cell (NHMC). According to IEEE 802.11 standards, the proposed design of the BSF for the 2.4 and 3.6 GHz frequency bands for WLAN and Wi-Fi applications. The proposed NHMCbased BSF shows a reduction in overall size by up to 35%—compared to the HSRR- and HMCbased filters—and a good rejection level of up to 26 dB.The proposed NHMC-based filter design is unique because it is compact and presents sharp rejection and low insertion loss (IL) when compared to previous literature. There is good agreement between the fabricated and the measured results.

Manuscript Title:Sixth-Order Cross-Coupled Filter Utilizing Half- and Eighth-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Resonators with Wide Stop-Band
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-4-252353
Abstract:
A sixth-order Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) filter has been presented in this work. For miniaturization, two half-mode SIW resonators and four eighth-mode SIW resonators have been used to develop this sixth-order filter. Cross couplings have been introduced between resonators-1 and resonator-4 as well as resonators-4 and resonator-6. From this design, a structure with a small size has been achieved as compared to other filters in the same category. A novel cross-coupling technique implemented by the combination of halfmode and eighth-mode resonators resulted in the filter, exhibiting high selectivity. These crosscouplings introduced transmission zeros, which showed the filter's high selectivity. ROGERS RT5880 substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.2 has been used in the research work. The filter operates at 32 GHz with an insertion loss of about -1.8 dBs and return loss of -27 dBs. The designed filter exhibits a wide stop-band property.

Manuscript Title:A Modified Circular Disk-Shaped Miniaturized Multiband Printed-Antenna with Enhanced Bandwidth for 5G Mobile Application
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252372
Abstract:
This paper presents a modified circular disk-shaped microstrip patch antenna with multiband and wideband resonance characteristics for 5G mobile applications. The suggested antenna consists of multiple circular slots and the radiuses of these incorporated slots are finalized through different iteration process to achieve desired resonant frequency bands with good impedance matching. A recessed microstrip line with a basic plane ground structure feeds the proposed antenna. The antenna modeling and corresponding simulation studies have been performed by HFSS electromagnetic simulation software. Detailed parametric analysis has been carried out in terms of variations in substrates thickness and design iteration steps. The novelty of proposed antenna is its multiband characteristics and expanded wide operational bandwidth in a compact size without monopole or any ground plane deflection. To validate the designed antenna structure, the prototype of the designed antenna has been fabricated on a 33.56 33.56 mm2 physical foot print of FR-4 substrate and measured using vector network analyzer to confirm the simulated results. The proposed antenna resonates at 3.35, 6.68, 8.84, 12.62 and 15.68 GHz with reflection coefficient -17.01, -21.93, -14.68, -35.49, -20.63 dB covering frequency bands from 3.26-3.36 GHz, 6.32-6.95 GHz, 8.66-9.20 GHz, 11.99-12.98 GHz, and 13.61-20 GHz with -10 dB impedance bandwidth (IBW) of 100, 630, 540, 990 and 6390 MHz, respectively. The recorded measured results are in good agreement with the simulation results which meets requirements of multiband 5G technologies.

Manuscript Title:Circularly Polarized Planar Antenna Array with High Isolation for WLAN Application
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252375
Abstract:

This paper proposes, a 2x2 circularly polarized multiple-input multiple-output antenna with improved impedance bandwidth, axial ratio bandwidth, larger gain, and high isolation. The proposed antenna is used in the design of a compact multi-port multi-element antenna array for Massive MIMO Base Station applications at 5.5GHz. The proposed antenna has four ports and plays an important role in implementing 5G. The proposed hexagonal patch antenna is designed using a suspended substrate technique in which an air gap between ground and substrate is varied to achieve the different bands of 10 dB bandwidth, 3 dB BW, and gain as compared to the previously published methods in the literature. The impedance bandwidth (S11 < -10 dB) over a useful frequency spectrum of 5.18 to 5.86 GHz which covers (5.15-5.35 and 5.72-5.87 ) GHz and (5.48-5.72) GHz frequency band for WLAN and Wi-MAX application respectively. The proposed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 680 MHz (12.36%), axial ratio BW of 470 MHz (8.54%), and a gain of more than 7.67 dBi per port. Envelope correlation coefficient < 0.2, diversity gain > 9.8 dBi, and radiation efficiency of 93% are achieved over the working frequency range. The mutual coupling between antenna elements is less than -22(S21) to -31 dB(S41) for the center-to-center spacing of 0.65?, where ? is the signal’s wavelength. The CP MIMO antenna is the ultimate candidate for massive MIMO base station application.

Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252376
Abstract:

This paper presents a novel compact 4x4 peace-shaped multiple-input multiple-output antenna (MIMO) for 5G Sub 6-GHz wireless applications. The proposed antenna consists of a peace-shaped radiating element, feedline, partial ground, and four T-shaped parasitic strip lines. This design is made of a low-cost & low-profile FR4 substrate with dimensions of 44mm x 44mm x1.6 mm. It is designed using the space diversity technique, four antenna elements are adjusted at the corners of the PCB. This arrangement provides good isolation among antenna elements without using any extra decoupling structure. Four T-shaped parasitic strip lines are placed between antennas to simultaneously offer high bandwidth and good impedance bandwidth. The proposed antenna is simulated and designed using the Ansys HFSS tool. This presented MIMO antenna radiates from 3.69 GHz to 6.53 GHz (Sub-6 GHz) 5G band with a fractional bandwidth of 55.6%. Moreover, the MIMO antenna simulated and measured parameters like CCL and ECC are found within the limits.   The proposed antenna can be useful for n79 5G NR sub-6 GHz/Wi-Fi-5/V2X/DSRC/Wi-Fi-6 applications.

Manuscript Title:Design of a Compact and Highly Independent Triple-Band BPF for 5G Applications
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252385
Abstract:

This research presents a compact triple-band bandpass filter for 5G applications. Two types of resonators are used to achieve the proposed filter performance. The first resonator is a U-shape. The second and third resonators are folded half guided wavelength resonators resonating at 2.63 GHz, 3.43 GHz, and 4.66 GHz, respectively. The three passband frequencies can be adjusted and designed separately. A meandering structure is also proposed to miniaturize the suggested filter by 14.04% compared to its previous size. The proposed filter achieves insertion loss of -1.5 dB, 0 dB, and -1 dB, and return loss of -15.43 dB, -28.41 dB, and -25.3 dB, respectively. The EM-simulation, LC equivalent circuit, and measured results appear to be in good agreement.

Manuscript Title:Evaluation of the Far Field Radiated of a Flat AUT from Near-Field Samples Acquired via Planar Wide - Mesh Scanning
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-6-252386
Abstract:
This paper presents an effective, probecompensated, near-field to far-field (NF-FF) transformation adopting the planar wide-mesh scan (PWMS), tailored to flat antennas. The proposed technique relies upon a non-redundant sampling representation of the electromagnetic field radiated by a flat antenna under test (AUT), developed by modeling it as a disk with a radius equal to half of its maximum size. Moreover, it exploits an optimal sampling interpolation expansion to recover the NF data on the classical plane-rectangular lattice. The developed NFFF transformation allows one to attain a considerable decrease of the required NF samples as compared to the one which employs the classical planerectangular scan. Moreover, it allows also a significant reduction with respect to those with PWMS employing the other models usable for quasi-planar AUTs, i.e., the double bowl and the oblate spheroid modelings. At last, the proposed technique results to be more convenient than those adopting the models for quasi-planar AUTs, since the parameters expressions in the non-redundant representation are much simpler. Numerical and laboratory results are shown to assess the feasibility of the developed technique.

Manuscript Title:Ultra Wideband Textile Antenna for WBAN and Health Care Systems
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-6-252392
Abstract:
This paper describes the design and testing of an ultra-wideband (UWB) wearable antenna using textile fabric jeans as substrate with a dielectric constant of 1.7. The UWB antenna is intended for short-range applications like wireless body area networks (WBAN) and healthcare systems. The developed antenna exhibits UWB properties and is wearable, with a BW of 130.41 percent (2.37 to 11.94 GHz) and no band notch. The proposed bird slot antenna achieves the highest percentage bandwidth when compared to all other UWB antennas previously described in the literature as a result of the combined effects of a defective ground plane and two intersecting elliptical slots in the radiating patch (shaped like a bird).With the use of elliptical slots, the performance of antenna is improved compared with the existing work in terms return loss, specific absorption rate, minimum complexity and size. The antenna is designed and analyzed by CST Microwave studio. The effect of variations in the radiating element's dimensions on return loss and bandwidth is examined. Radiating Antenna is fabricated and tested to validate designs. The performance characteristics of the antenna are observed and this bird shaped antenna is well suited to wireless communication, particularly in the health sector.

Manuscript Title:Performance Comparison of Contention Resolution Mechanisms in the OBS Networks
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252361
Abstract:
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) presented as a promising and viable switching strategy for the next generation of Internet. Due to its lack of optical buffer, it is inclined to contention problems that degrade the overall network performance. Generally, there are many strategies to reduce contention in OBS networks. This work describes different contention resolution approaches, including burst segmentation, deflection routing, and fiber delay lines. This paper proposes two viable strategies to resolve the contention: the first will assemble the Burst Based Segmentation with Deflection Routing (BBSwDR), and the second will make the Burst Based Segmentation with Fiber Delay Lines (BBSwFDL) in order to reduce the Bit Error Rate (BER) and increase throughput versus network traffic load. NCTUns-6.0 simulator was employed to verify the OBS network performance by comparing two suggestions above based on metrics: throughput and BER. The simulation results indicate that the performance of BBSwDR outperforms more than BBSwFDL for resolving the conflict of bursts. Additionally, this paper helps network designers select the best contention resolution method, as well as adjust network parameters.

Manuscript Title:Color Visible Light Communication Technique Based on Machine Learning Compensation Map for 6G Communication Service
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252366
Abstract:
In the visible light (VL) communication based on the multi-color channel between color LEDs and photodiode for 6G communication service, a uniform communication performance on color channel may be desired, and VL communication services under multiple color channel are usually used by only one VL receiver. However, it has been known that the received signal has severe color distortion due to the receiver performance variation under multi-color channels since photodiodes produce more electrical current on red color than on green or blue color channels. In this paper, we estimate the compensation extent of distortion in advance by using a compensation map from machine learning data and utilizing its implemented VL transceiver. We can see that the conventional technique without any compensation function for color distortion effect meets a failure in the color VL communication trial because of the different VL communication distance on each color VL channel, whereas the proposed scheme has no distortion due to the performance variation of each color VL channel in the overall range of communication distance.

Manuscript Title:Improving the Energy Efficiency of Contention Resolution Mechanism in Translucent Optical Burst Switched (OBS) Networks
Manuscript Id:IJMOT-2022-5-252382
Abstract:
This paper presents an energy provision method for translucent OBS networks that reduce power consumption by reactive policy for contention resolution at the core node. When the contention occurs, the highest priority burst which it crosses more nodes (highest burst power consumption) and a mechanism of prioritizing more resources for high-priority bursts. The proposal uses the algorithm Hop-Count with Deflection Routing (HCwDR) in the core node of the translucent OBS network. Where, HCwDR implements the hop-count parameter dropping policy with deflection routing for contention resolution. The results indicate that the HCwDR algorithm enables significant energy savings in the translucent OBS by almost 15% compared to translucent OBS networks with only Deflection Routing (DR).
