                    | Manuscript Title: | New Hybridization Method of MMSE and LMS Algorithms  for 3D Beamforming for Multi-User Massive MIMO Systems  for 5G Network and Beyond |  
                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2024-8-352837 |  
                    | Abstract: | The increase of the number of users 
from year to year and their growing demand in 
term of capacity and services has made the 
emergence of new technologies. Fifth generation 
(5G) currently is designed for this purpose and 
even the next generation, 6G. The technique of 
M-MIMO, for massive multiple inputs multiple
 outputs, has emerged to increase the number of
 users by a hundred times compared to a
 conventional MIMO system in the same cell.
 We propose in this article a new method which is
 the hybridization of two algorithms, the
 minimum mean square error (MMSE) and the
 least mean squares (LMS), applied to a uniform
 and rectangular array (URA) for 3-dimensional
 (3D) beamforming, to then determine the
 direction of arrival (DOA) of the desired signals
 in an environment where users are sometimes
 fixed and sometimes they move at very high
 speed. This 2D hybridization is designed from a
 new simple method that we called ''Signal Matrix
 Projection Method (SMPM)''. The main
 contribution of this hybridization with the new
 method is a very clear improvement of the speed
 of convergence compared to other recent papers
 we used for comparison and a very high accuracy
 in the presence of interferers. |

                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2024-9-352847 |  
                    | Abstract: | This paper discusses the comprehensive design, fabrication, and measurement of a rectangular nested fractal antenna specifically engineered for multiband applications across various communication systems. The antenna, with compact overall dimensions of 40×50×0.8 mm³, is constructed using FR4 glass epoxy, a widely adopted dielectric material known for its relative permittivity of 4.7 and a low loss tangent of 0.0197. The design successfully demonstrates seven distinct resonant frequency bands at 1.99, 3.68, 4.91, 6.11, 7.60, 8.06, and 9.39 GHz. Each of these frequency bands is characterized by corresponding bandwidths of 90, 80, 90, 100, 70, 22, and 210 MHz, respectively. Additionally, the antenna achieves notable gains of 0.88, 2.18, 18.86, 8.89, 13.22, 12.24, and 4.01 dBi across these bands. Extensive laboratory testing of the fabricated prototype revealed a strong correlation between the simulated and experimental results, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the design process. The antenna's performance metrics make it an excellent candidate for integration into a wide range of applications, including mobile communications, Wi-Fi, 5G networks, satellite communications, radar systems, and microwave communications. |

                    | Manuscript Title: | Design of Multiband Y-shaped patch antenna with DGS technique for Ultrawideband Applications |  
                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2024-11-352882 |  
                    | Abstract: | The 
Y-shaped 
radiating 
patch 
introduces a novel geometry optimized for ultra
wideband (UWB) applications, which can 
potentially 
enhance the bandwidth. The 
integration of DGS enhances the antenna 
performance by improving impedance matching 
and bandwidth, allowing the antenna to radiate 
effectively across a wide frequency range. 
Accordingly, Y- shaped Micro strip Patch 
antenna (MSPA) is designed with a dimensional 
size of the antenna of 28×32×1.6 (L×W×H). A 
Radiating patch is deposited on FR4 substrate. 
The patch is excited with the line feed approach, 
and the DGS (Defective Ground Structure) 
technique is applied to it. Antenna is designed to 
fit to operate in ultra-wide band applications. 
With precise impedance matching, the antenna is 
radiating at 14.22 GHz frequency. The antenna 
performance is analyzed with return losses (S11), 
VSWR, Peak Gain, bandwidth, current, electric 
field distributions and radiation patterns. The 
close 
agreement 
between simulated and 
laboratory-tested results validates the design 
methodology and performance of the antenna, 
highlighting its practical applicability. The center 
frequency of the antenna is 9.5 GHz. The highest 
radiating frequency is 15.19 GHz and the lowest 
radiating frequency is 5.03 GHz.  The antenna is 
effectively radiating in the wide band region, i.e., 
(15.19 GHz - 5.03 GHz). The maximum peak gain 
of 9.42 dB is observed when it is radiated at 5.71 
GHz.  These results show that the performance of 
the proposed Y-shaped MSPA is a good choice for 
ultra-wideband applications. Because of size 
miniaturization, the developed antenna is best fit 
for surface mount applications.  |

                    | Abstract: | This article exhibits the novel design of a microstrip patch antenna by utilizing a T-shaped patch and defected ground structure to resonate at n77 and n78 band of 5G-Sub-6 GHz. The T-shaped patch antenna is designed, simulated and manufactured by utilizing Rogers/RT duroid 5880 with 2.2 relative permittivity and 0.0009 loss tangent. The proposed antenna has the measurement of 36 × 40 × 1.575 mm3 and provides wide impedance bandwidths of 1.1 GHz (3.2 GHz – 4.3 GHz) at a center frequency of 3.5 GHz. The antenna is designed and simulated using finite element method An-soft HFSSv13. Fabrication of the antenna is obtained by using chemical etching and the results are measured by using MS2037C Anritsu combinational analyzer. The reflection co-efficient value at 3.5 GHz is -39.5 dB with VSWR<2 and 3.4 dB gain are obtained. Simulated results are in close relation with the measured results and presents that the T-shaped patch antenna is well applicable for n77 and n78 5G-sub-6 GHz applications. |

                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-1-352911 |  
                    | Abstract: | The evolution of modern electronic systems has derived advantages from the use of the filtering function in high-frequency devices in one way or another. Designers have been able to design more compact systems because of multi-band microwave filters, which can cover multiple frequency bands with a single device. In this article a tetra band microwave bandpass filter has been designed, analyzed and tested for satellite communication applications. Our design consists of a circular ring resonator in which a circle has been subtracted and then united by a circle attached by a rectangle, this controls the resonant frequency of the filter as per the desired resonating frequency bands. Microstrip circular ring resonator bandpass filter occupies an area of 12 x 34 mm2. Tetra band microwave bandpass filter is attached by using 50 ? microstrip transmission line and it is printed on FR4 substrate having physical properties Er of 4.4, tand of 0.02 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The circular ring resonators electrical dimensions (0.56 ?0 x 1.58 ?0) are designed numerically using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) calculator, which is based on the finite-element method (FEM). Where ?0 is the free space wavelength at the lowest resonating frequency. The circular ring resonator is fabricated by using chemical etching and S-parameters are measured by using MS2037C Anritsu Combinational Analyser. Simulated filter resonates at 11.17 GHz, 13.81 GHz, 16.53 GHz and 19.44 GHz and offers reflection co-efficient of -30.7 dB, -46.3 dB, -20 dB and -23.3 dB. Circular ring resonator offers insertion loss of 0.2 dB at all the resonating frequencies respectively. Simulated results are in good agreement with the measured results and make the filter ideal for satellite communication applications. |

                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-2-352925 |  
                    | Abstract: | The plane wave scattering excited by 
joining uniaxial chiral half-sheets is addressed in 
the high-frequencies domain. In particular, the 
propagation scenario consists of two half-sheets 
that are arranged in a planar junction bounded by 
free space. The propagation direction of incident 
plane waves is assumed to be arbitrary with 
respect to the linear discontinuity of the junction 
and therefore the scattering scenario is three
dimensional. Reflection and transmission are 
formulated by using a bounce diagram technique 
accounting for the boundary conditions, whereas 
the uniform asymptotic physical optics approach is 
applied for evaluating the diffraction contribution 
due to the discontinuity. At the best authors’ 
knowledge, no further analytical procedures 
solving the problem are available in literature. 
Data resulting from a commercial electromagnetic 
solver are used as reference to test the value of the 
proposed method, and made available for 
validating other techniques.  |

                    | Abstract: | his study investigates the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for characterizing reinforcing bars in concrete structures. To assess the relationship between GPR signal characteristics and rebar dimensions. To develop a methodology for estimating rebar radius from GPR data. Practical experiments were conducted on a concrete slab, analyzing radargrams to correlate hyperbola width with rebar diameter. FDTD simulations were performed to investigate the relationship between rebar radius and the local standard deviation of the reflected GPR signal. A strong correlation was found between rebar radius and signal characteristics, with larger rebars exhibiting higher local standard deviations. A quadratic polynomial fit to the simulation data accurately predicted signal characteristics based on rebar radius with an Rsquared value of 0.961. A novel methodology for estimating rebar radius from GPR radargrams was proposed, demonstrating an accuracy of ±1 mm. |

                    | Abstract: | Wideband Designs of coaxially fed or proximity
fed E-shape patch loaded with a parasitic resonator positioned below the patch
on thicker substrate are proposed. The C-shape and ring-shaped resonators introduces
TM20 mode nearer to the patch TM10 mode frequency in
E-shape antenna that increases the bandwidth. Both the proposed designs realize
wider BW as compared with the conventional E-shape antenna with more than 8 dBi
peak gain and exhibits broadside radiation pattern with cross-polar component less than 30 dB as compared with the co-polar
radiation level in the E-plane. The
novelty of the antenna lies in reduced patch area in comparison to that of the
multi resonator configurations in which parasitic patches of larger area are
located on the same layer as that of the fed patch, and reduced volume to that
of the stacked configurations. |

                    | Manuscript Title: | Dual notched Bandpass Filter with High-Selectivity and Wide Upper Stopband |  
                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-2-352934 |  
                    | Abstract: | This paper introduces a high-selectivity 
dual-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass 
filter (BPF) with an extensive upper stopband, 
demonstrating superior performance compared to 
previously reported designs. Unlike conventional 
methods, which often encounter limitations in 
selectivity, stopband performance, and circuit size, 
this approach integrates a stepped-impedance stub
loaded multimode resonator (SISLMMR) with 
complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) 
metamaterials and an H-shaped electromagnetic 
bandgap (EBG) resonator to achieve enhanced 
performance. Initially, a UWB bandpass filter based 
on the SISLMMR was designed. Subsequently, it 
was combined with CSRR structures to suppress 
unwanted spurious bands in the upper stopband. 
Furthermore, to mitigate the interference caused by 
WLAN at 6 GHz and X-band satellite 
communication systems at 8.18 GHz within the 
passband, an H-shaped EBG-based metamaterial 
was introduced. Additionally, the introduction of 
two transmission zeros on both sides of the 
passband, located at 2.6 GHz and 10.9 GHz, 
significantly enhances sharp skirt selectivity up to 
0.93. The simulated results indicate that the filter’s 
passband ranges from 2.9 GHz to 10.61 GHz, with 
an insertion loss of less than 1 dB, a 3 dB fractional 
bandwidth of 112.5%, and a wide upper stopband 
extending up to 20 GHz with an insertion loss lower 
than -21 dB. The filter exhibits a compact size of 0.71 
?g x 0.88 ?g with a group delay of less than 0.3 ns, 
except at the notches. The proposed filter was 
designed and simulated using the high-frequency 
structure simulator (HFSS) software package and 
subsequently fabricated on a Rogers RT/duroid 
5880. Its performance was validated through 
measurements that closely aligned with the 
simulated results.  |

performance analysis of a 4-channel, 30 Gbps 
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) 
transmission system over a 70 km optical fiber link, 
comparing the capabilities of Erbium-Doped Fiber 
Amplifier (EDFA) and Raman amplifier, this work 
uniquely focuses on higher bit rates, providing 
insights into amplifier behavior under these specific 
conditions. Key performance metrics, including Bit 
Error Rate (BER), Quality Factor (Q-factor), and 
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), were evaluated through 
simulation. Results demonstrate that EDFA 
outperforms the Raman amplifier, delivering a 
lower BER and a higher Q-factor. The previous 
studies, the amplifier configuration is optimized to 
minimize noise and improve signal integrity at 
higher data rates. The novelty of this research lies in 
the strategic integration of EDFA and Raman 
amplifiers, enabling an improved trade-off between 
gain, noise figure, and system reach. Compared to 
existing WDM-PON designs, the proposed system 
achieves lower BER and higher optical signal 
quality over extended fiber distances. These 
enhancements provide a more efficient and robust 
solution 
for high-speed, long-reach optical 
networks. |

                    | Manuscript Title: | Performance Analysis of Laser-Based Li-Fi System under the Influence of External White Light |  
                    | Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-1-352919 |  
                    | Abstract: | Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) is an optical wireless 
communication that utilizes light as an optical 
carrier signal for data transmission. In previous 
works, the LED-based Li-Fi system utilizes LEDs as 
light sources, offering lower data rates (in the Mbps 
range) and shorter distances. Additionally, LED 
light emission is omnidirectional. The laser-based Li
Fi system employs with lasers as its light source, 
enabling data rates of up to several Gbps and 
covering 
longer 
distances 
(in 
kilometers). 
Additionally, the laser produces a highly directional 
beam. Laser-based Li-Fi system provides high data 
rates, data security, and less disturbance in wireless 
communication. External white light noise in a Li-Fi 
system is the interference caused by ambient light 
sources such as sunlight and artificial lighting. 
External white light noise degrades the signal quality 
and interferes with the modulated optical signal in 
carrying the data. Compared to previous studies, this 
proposed system aims to achieve higher data rate 
and longer distance. The proposed system is 
analyzed for the performance of the system under 
the impact of external white light due to sunlight. 
The system is simulated with the parameters such as 
CW laser 650 nm 35 mW, PIN photodiode, NRZ 
(non-return-to-zero) modulation, and an external 
white light source of wavelength 550nm and -30.7 
dBm, variable data rates, and distance ranges from 
50 m to 700 m in OptiSystem 7 commercial software. 
The performance of the system is evaluated with 
BER (bit error rate) and Q-factor (quality factor). 
The proposed system is analyzed for the best 
performance for the data rates of up to 40 Gbps. At 
40 Gbps, reliable signal quality is achieved at a 
maximum distance of 500 meters in the absence of 
external white light and 400 meters in the presence 
of external white light. The laser-based Li-Fi system 
is better than the previous LED-based system. Laser 
diodes can modulate light at much higher 
frequencies than LEDs. This allows for greater data  
rates. Laser light focuses into a narrow beam. This 
enables it to travel longer distances with less power 
loss compared to the diffuse light from LEDs. |
