Abstract

Manufacturing process was important in the development of antenna technology in order to obtain the antenna optimal performance. One of the approaches to increase the antenna performance was to use a natural dielectric material. In this research, a waveguide antenna was designed by inserting a natural dielectric material, an FR-4-Epoxy (? = 4,3 in the simulator) into a waveguide with a width of 72 mm, a height of 34 mm, and a length of 50 mm. The properties of the mode waveguide antenna were modified by slightly varying the position of the dielectric material and adding an initial thickness of 1.6 mm. The excitation of the waveguide was configured using mode. The Observed paramters in this research are (return loss) and radiation parameters (gain and directivity). On the simulation shows that the best performance of the waveguide antenna was obtained when the dielectric position is 2 mm from the connector and thickness 3,2 mm. The simulation also generates the parameter of -22,8 dB with gain and directivity was 5,77 and 1,799 respectively at a frequency 3 of GHz while from measurement the frequency was shifted at 3,15 GHz with -23,05 . The result of this research shows that the addition of dielectric material to the waveguide antenna as a resonator will affect the antenna parameters this is due to the nature of the dielectric material which has a special permittivity value that changes the nature of the medium of wave propagation propagating on the antenna. From the observations in the simulation stage, the closer the position of the material to the connector and the thicker the material, the better the return loss, even though it slightly shifts the working frequency of the antenna from the initial frequency.

Abstract

Human skeletal detection and human gesture recognition are interesting subjects that have been investigated during the past three decades. Single-RGB, RGB-D camera, and Initial Measurement Unit (IMU) are some of the sensors for recording human motion data. Numerous methods for gesture recognition and classification have been reviewed in this survey. The classification is divided into nonparametric models and deep learning models, which afterwards will be compared in terms of accuracy and running time, respectively. The feature extractions are separated based on features processed from the sensor data, including skeleton-based features, depth image-based features, and hybrid features. A comparison of accuracy values will be offered based on the model and its attributes. In addition, we present an interchange of perspectives on deep learning and nonparametric models based on Karl Popper’s perspective and Kuhn’s paradigm in the study of the philosophy of science. By substituting the falsification principle for induction, Popper attempts to refute the traditional empiricist perspective of the scientific method. From the philosophy of science’s perspective, the study on human action recognition is in the normal science phase according to Kuhn’s paradigm and is corroborated in accordance with Popper’s theory.

Abstract

Wearable antenna is currently a very popular topic because it has the advantages of small size, light weight, and flexible shape. Because of their versatility, wearable antennas are often used in healthcare, as well as military applications. In this research, a wearable triangular patch antenna is designed at the Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM Band) 2.4 GHz frequency using Cordura Delinova 2000 textile as a substrate and copper tape as a conductor for the patch and ground plane. To obtain ultra-wideband characteristics, the Defected Ground Structure technique is used. From the simulation results carried out under normal conditions, a bandwidth of 1403.9 MHz is obtained with a VSWR value of 1.004 and a gain of 2.355 dBi. By adding a phantom with hand characteristics, the simulation results show a bandwidth of 1354.1 MHz, VSWR 1.36, Gain 7.35 dBi, and SAR 0.4 W/Kg at a distance of 30 mm from the phantom. From the measurements made under normal conditions, a bandwidth of 684.3 MHz, a VSWR of 1.1045 and a gain of 2.01 dBi are obtained. From the on-body measurement using wrist, the antenna obtains a bandwidth of 615.2 MHz and VSWR of 1.4027, at a distance of 30 mm from the phantom. Based on the parameters obtained in the measurement and simulation, the antenna can be used in the 2.4 GHz frequency.

Abstract

Trees are one of the most useful plants for life on earth. However, trees can be harmful due to cavities in the stem sections. Rapid detection is needed to prevent several losses that may arise due to fallen trees. This research identified a hollow and non-hollow tree stem section of flamboyant tree with a sub-surface detection radar system. The sub surface detection radar system was modeled using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) connected to a Vivaldi antenna. VNA emitted electromagnetic waves to the tree stem section and subsequently propagated and penetrated hollow tree stem section. The propagation wave met the boundary plane between the wood and the cavity which reflected the electromagnetic waves. The reflected wave was caught by antenna and was display by the VNA as S-Parameter. This research used a Vivaldi antenna with a working frequency of 1 GHz – 10 GHz and a VNA with working frequency 300KHz - 8GHz. The difference in the amplitude of the signal could be seen from the results of cavity measurements made at one point. By implementing circular scanning method with inverse radon transformation, this research could identify a 19 cm diameter wood with a hole of 6 cm and 9.5 cm diameter filled with water, respectively. It was observed that the optimal detection was obtained by placing object between the antennas. This research has signified the application of radar modeled with VNA for detecting the cavities in tree stem section.

Abstract

Fish farming is common in Indonesia. The farmers usually use ponds with a large size for cultivation which have constraints on feeding due to their size. An automatic feed system with An Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) can be the solution to overcome this problem. The USV moves to the predetermined position and direction using GPS and compass. When it has arrived at that point this USV feeds the fishes according to the predetermined amount. In this study, the Pixhawk is used to control the USV to accomplish the given mission. It uses mission planner software for determination of the waypoint points, the calibration of components, and the control of PID. The Pixhawk also serves as a ground control station (GCS) for monitoring the motion and position of the USV using radio communication of 433MHz telemetry connected to the GCS and computer. The fish feeding system uses a load cell sensor to measure the weight of the feed to be thrown and two servo motors as a feed production system. Both sensor and servo motors are controlled by an Arduino UNO. The feed tank has a maximum capacity of 7.5 liters with 0.41 cm per kilogram buoyant force of the USV. The test was carried out on a pool of 10 × 10 m by placing 4 Waypoints. The USV has an average speed of 0.65 m/s and reaches a total distance of 55.5 m in 88 seconds. Before releasing to the pond, the feed weight is measured using a load cell sensor which has an accuracy of 98.99%. The difference between the set point and the feed released by the USV is very close, where the average error value is about 4.98%. The error value becomes smaller when more weight is set.

Abstract

Photonic band gap tunability is crucial in designing optoelectronic devices. Nanostructure semiconductors with tunable band gaps which depend on the dimensionality, have become the potential candidate for tunable nano optoelectronic devices. However, it has a lot of challenges in their fabrication such as the limited number of homogenous particles and high-cost production. As an alternative, sub-micrometer particles with the order of hundred nanometers are more easily fabricated and exhibit tunable optoelectronic properties. In this study, sub-micrometer WS2 was fabricated using low-cost electrochemical methods. Two clusters of particles with the average size of 100 nm and 600 nm are observed. The number of sub-micrometer particles increases with the increasing of fabrication time. The photoluminescence spectra show wide peak centered around 800 nm suggesting the possible application in visible light emitting devices. The peak position varies with the time variation showing that the optical properties might be tuned during fabrication. This study points out that simple solution processed fabrication method can produce sub micrometer particles with tunable optical properties.

Abstract

Hypersonic flight is one of the technological developments for aircraft with speeds above Mach 5, the speed at which air separation begins to become significant. This paper presents a control of hypersonic flight with inverse dynamics systems. Hypersonic Flight Control (HFC) is approached as system and controlled by inverse dynamics. The design of the proposed inverse dynamics equation aims to cancel all nonlinear terms so that the closed loop system is linear, so that we can simulate the system in The control strategy aims to change quickly and accurately. The simulation result deployed by MATLAB shows the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. We include FlightGear simulation to visualize the aircraft’s 3D motion. MATLAB and Simulink can be used for inverse dynamics control of hypersonic aircraft, while FlightGear can be used to visualize aircraft motion, making it easier to observe and verify control effectiveness. In the simulation, we use an altitude of 1000 with the PD controller gains Kp = diag(10; 10; 10; 10; 10; 20) and Kd = diag(10; 10; 10; 10; 10; 1) that gives less oscillation for the proposed scenario. We focused our research on the control of the aircraft using the Vector Field approach so that it solves the standard local minima problem in the path following method. The urgency of this research is crucial because it can revolutionize aircraft navigation and serve as a reference for the development of unmanned aircraft, shaping the future of world aviation.

Abstract

Aircraft traffic monitoring is an important part in increasing flight security. Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) is used to run this task. The authority usually uses ground-based ADS-B signal receiver to monitor the aircraft traffic. However, this system is unable to detect the aircraft position when it is in a remote area. -based ADS-B can be the solution to this problem with the increase in the surveillance coverage by installing the ADS-B receiver system on a satellite platform such a . To enable this system, a high gain antenna is needed. This paper investigated a superstrate multilayer microstrip antenna as a candidate for this technology. The multilayer substrate and superstrate structure were combined with a microstrip antenna to achieve a high gain performance without increasing the antenna dimension significantly. The multilayer method produced 4.327 dBi of antenna gain and it was rising into 4.946 dBi after being integrated with the superstrate layer by a computer simulation. The fabricated antenna gain was 4.505 dBi which was still considerably high compared to the other previous works. This antenna was designed by following the CubeSat form factor standard so it can be installed into the spacecraft easily.

Abstract

The increase in cellular users (CU) caused data traffic congestion on the Base Station (BS). Device to Device (D2D) communication can be used to reduce the traffic on BS. D2D communication is direct communication between devices without using a central BS to reduce traffic congestion. CU and D2D users will share the same Resource Block (RB), but there is a drawback that causes interference. This study employs a downlink direction Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) system model to mitigate interference issues. Resource allocation is performed using a greedy algorithm, and to enhance its performance, two small cell base stations (SB) were incorporated, denoted as SB1 (1st SB) and SB2 (2nd SB), thereby transforming the algorithm into a greedy algorithm with SB1SB2. A comparative analysis was conducted between the greedy algorithm with SB1SB2 and the conventional greedy algorithm (without the addition of SB1 and SB2). Furthermore, the authors manipulated the radius of the macro cell base station (MB) in this study to examine its impact on system performance. The results obtained from the simulation are greedy with the SB1SB2 algorithm getting a lower value on the sum data rate with a value of 1.62 × 108 bps, spectral efficiency with a value of 9.02 bps/Hz, total fairness (CU and D2D) with a value of 0.4095. Meanwhile, in terms of power efficiency, the greedy algorithm with SB1SB2 has a higher value of 10.40%. However, resource allocation in both algorithms is not the best solution. So that the resulting performance parameters are less than optimal.
