Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of ECE, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology, Gandipet, Hyderabad., Saidulu V.
Published: March 2020

This paper focuses on design, simulation and experimental analysis of rectangular MSA with and without superstrates. The rectangular MPA is designed at frequency range of 2.40 GHz, which is lying in the S band region. The transmission line model analysis and High Frequency Simulation Software (HFSS) is used for designing of proposed rectangular MPA. The proposed antenna is fabricated on Arlon diclad 880 substrate, whose dielectric constant is 2.2, thickness of the substrate is 1.6mm and loss tangent is 0.0009. In this paper the effect of dielectric superstrates on rectangular MPA and the height of superstrate are varying above the rectangular MPA is investigated experimentally and compared with simulated and measured results. The proposed antenna has been analyzed using different dielectric superstrates. From the study it was observed that in antenna without superstrate the VSWR is 1.21, return loss is -18.51dB, bandwidth is 0.038GHz. However, gain is 8.77dB. In the antennas with superstrates, center frequency is shifted from 2.40 GHz to 2.33 GHz as well as other parameters are slightly degraded. As superstrate height increases, the performance antenna is degraded and at particular optimum height the performance characteristics of antenna with and without superstrate will be same. The frequency range 2.40 GHz is used in wireless applications.

In wireless local area networks (WLANs), the data transmission rate is highly wavering concerning time according to changes in the channel environment. The traditional link adaptation algorithms, which rely on channel state information (CSI) estimation for selecting an appropriate modulation-coding scheme (MCS) does not thrive with madly varying channel conditions. To uphold this problem, in this paper we contemplate the link adaptation problem in IEEE 802.11n based WLAN by evaluating the performance under different combinations of transmission parameters or transmit modes. The evaluation results show that an optimal selection of transmission mode on a per-packet basis according to the current channel state maximizes the throughput performance of WLAN. Simulations over a wide class of TGn fading channel model shows that significant improvement in the throughput is possible by selecting an optimal combination of transmission parameters adaptively on a per-packet basis according to SNR estimation made at receiver.

This paper considers a tracking problem on discrete-time higher-order linear time-delay systems. The improved observer-model following sliding mode controller (OMF-SMC) is proposed. The combination uses a classical Luyenberger observer based controller to achieve predefined process output and sliding mode controller is added to assure the robustness despite of uncertainty and external disturbances. To show the effectiveness of proposed method, four error performance indices, maximum peak overshoot and settling time are considered rigorously. The simulations results on the non-oscillatory, moderate oscillatory, integrating, unstable and non-minimum phase system demonstrates that the proposed approach performs better compared with classical PID controller, continuous and discrete sliding mode controllers.

Image processing is a process of extracting features from an image. The features of the image are extracted using the correlation model, based on Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Each of the images considered for data set are converted into gray level before applying Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The features extracted from GLCM are given as an input to the model-based technique so that the relative Probability Density Functions (PDF) are extracted. The comparison is carried out in the same manner by identifying the relative PDF of the training set and test data by using KullbackLeibler divergence method (KL-Divergence). In this paper an attempt is made for developing an effective model to retrieve the images based on features by considering GLCM and GMM. The results derived show that the proposed methodology is able to retrieve images more effectively.

Ogee spillways are used to monitor reservoir releases. Ogee spillway is a weir with an ogee (S-shaped) overflow profile. A curve solid surface provided at the toe of the spillway is known as a ski-jump bucket. Ski-jump bucket type energy dissipator is considered more suitable when tail water depth is much lower than the sequent depth of a hydraulic jump. In the ski-jump bucket, the flow coming down the spillway is thrown away in air from the toe to a considerable distance as a free discharging upturned jet (trajectory), which falls on the channel bed downstream. In the ski-jump bucket, only part of the energy is dissipated through interaction of the jet with the surrounding air. The remaining energy is accorded to the channel bed below. This paper describes the design of a Controlled ski -jump spillway model with guidelines in accordance with the IS Code.

Scale formation of BaSO4 (barite) is a serious and persistent problem in a petroleum industry. The scale may severely hamper industrial processes through clogging the equipment, blocking the piping system, reducing the transfer of heat and material, which can lead to total breakdown and substantial financial losses. Hence, various methods have been applied to prevent the scaling of barite. This work reports a vibrated-batch lab crystallization to examine the influence of copper oxide (CuO) and zinc oxide (ZnO), an increasing temperature and mechanical vibration at 4.00 Hz and 8.00 Hz frequencies on crystallization kinetics and morphology of barite. The experiments using an experimental rig which was equipped with mechanical vibration to vibrate the rig under the heating program control. The inducing of vibration at 4.00 Hz and 8.00 Hz frequencies resulted in increasing rate scale deposition, whereas barite is the main crystal of the precipitated product which could be validated by the XRD Rietveld method. A morphological investigation by SEM confirmed that barite has mainly rosette-like crystal with the smaller size of order 5 µm. A new habit crystal of barite under the influence of vibration could be observed, and here an increasing vibration and additive concentrations made a reduction of scale deposition and providing more dense crystal morphology. The current findings suggest that the presence of mechanical vibration can be used to elucidate the mechanism of crystallization as well as the control of the morphology of barite. In practical terms, metal oxides could be potential as a scale inhibitor, while the mechanical vibration can be used to prevent the barite formation on pipes or mechanical equipment of the petroleum industry.
