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 Title: | Performance Analysis of a Rectangular Nested Fractal Antenna for Multiband Applications |
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. |

Manuscript Title: | Analysis of a Tetra-Band Microwave Bandpass Filter for Satellite Communication 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 Title: | Scattering of Plane Waves by Joining Chiral Half-Sheets |
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. |

Manuscript Title: | Estimation Of Rebar Diameter Using GPR Data |
Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-2-352926 |
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. |

Manuscript Title: | E-shape MSA Loaded with C-shape and Open Ring Resonators for Wideband Response |
Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-2-352931 |
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. |

Manuscript Title: | Comprehensive Performance Analysis of Next-Generation High-Speed WDM-PON type Optical Network with EDFA and Raman Optical Amplifier |
Manuscript Id: | IJMOT-2025-1-352902 |
Abstract: | This study presents a novel design and
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. |
