As breast cancer spreads in sync with the limitations of contemporary imaging techniques concerned with detecting tumors in earlier stages, the microwave imaging technique has been considered a promising technique in the last few years. It has attracted the attention of recent research, due to its impressive potential and the improvement occurring in the detection process. The fundamental idea beh...Show More
This paper presents the design and analysis of a new compact quad-band metamaterial absorber (MMA). The proposed structure is constructed as an array of 12 × 13 unit cells, each one is based on a combination of interlaced I/square resonators supporting four distinct resonant frequencies. The proposed metamaterial unit cell is printed on FR-4 substrate with thickness 1.5 mm and size 20 mm × 20 mm. ...Show More
This paper exhibits a literature survey on the subject of radar absorbing materials (RAM) to provide a general overview on working theory, absorber types, electromagnetic properties, and materials used for their design especially using metamaterials. Metamaterials as artificial structures owning unusual electromagnetic effects are discussed with the different possible applications like shielding, ...Show More
In modern telecommunication systems the channel bandwidth and the quality of the reconstructed decoded audio signals are considered as major telecommunication resources. New speech or audio coders must be carefully designed and implemented to meet these requirements. EVS and OPUS audio coders are new coders which used to improve the quality of the reconstructed audio signal at different output bit...Show More
Automation systems are driven by industrial requirements such as sustainability, flexibility, efficiency and competitiveness. Those in turn are driven by a societal threats such as impacts on environment, sustainability of energy & natural resources, globalization, and rapidly changing market trends. A specific case of automation system engineering, concerns with the reengineering of old systems, ...Show More
In this paper, a new dual band metamaterial absorber based on sun fractal structure is presented. The proposed metamaterial absorber unit cell is printed on FR-4 substrate with thickness 1.6 mm and it has compact size 37×37 mm2. The proposed metamaterial absorber structure exhibits two distinct absorption peaks at 2.24 and 7 GHz with peak absorption values of 97.2 and 98 % respectively. All simula...Show More
The most common chipless RFID tags depends on the existence of a set of resonators inserted between two orthogonal antennas in order to increase the response of the reader system. In this paper, an orientation independent tag without the two antennas but with a high response is proposed. The tag design is based on etching circular slots on one layer of a substrate without ground. The symmetry of t...Show More
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are resource constrained devices in terms of power, memory, bandwidth, and processing. On the other hand, multicast communication is considered more efficient in group oriented applications compared to unicast communication as transmission takes place using fewer resources. That is why many of IoT applications rely on multicast in their transmission. This multicast...Show More
To improve the efficiency of bandwidth usage, the cognitive radios concept has emerged. Spectrum sensing is a pivotal function in cognitive radio systems so that the secondary users can be able to access the free spectrum holes without interfering with primary users. Energy detection is the most common and easiest spectrum sensing technique for cognitive radios. In this paper, the conventional ene...Show More
Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC), has been proposed to solve the problems of spectral efficiency and adjacent channel leakage power in OFDM. This solution has added implications for the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. This paper aims to reduce PAPR in FBMC through convolutional constellation mapping. The idea is to give a different constellation point to the symbol if successive values...Show More
The quality of speech is essential in communication systems. Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) is one of the speech Coders that standardized by the 3GPP for LTE. EVS supports audio bandwidth, offers high quality for mixed content (i.e. speech and music). Many coders that depend on the concept of ACELP may be affected by the change in the spoken language or accent. EVS Coder working with both ACELP and...Show More
In Arab countries, the hearing impaired people exceeds 10 million. In Egypt, the number of hearing-impaired people is around 4 million. So Sign language is important for facilitating communication between hearing impaired and the rest of society, but not all the rest of society know this language so, a new approach is suggested for designing a smart glove that can be used as a part of an electroni...Show More
Smart grid (SG) is a new technology which allows the electrical power grid to be smart. Cyber security plays an essential role in the smart grid in order to secure the bidirectional communication between the utility and the consumer side. To pursue confidentiality and integrity, a key management scheme is considered a critical challenge in the SG. As a result, several key management protocols have...Show More
A novel ultra wideband antenna is introduced in this paper in which the design, analysis and implementation are carried out. The antenna is a lotus shaped ultra wideband printed monopole antenna. The antenna dimensions are 50 mm × 43 mm. It is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line. It operates over the frequency range of 1.42–10 GHz. It was fabricated on FR-4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm, dielectric cons...Show More
This paper focuses on the analysis of the probability of error for several time-division multiple-access (TDMA) cooperative wireless two-stage relay protocols using amplify-and-forward (AF) over independent non-identically distributed Weibull and Weibull-lognormal fading channels with maximal ratio combining (MRC) reception. A closed-form expression for the moment-generating function (MGF) of a lo...Show More
Face verification has been widely studied during the past two decades. One of the challenges is the rising concern about the security and privacy of the template database. In this paper, we propose a secure face verification system which employs a user dependent one way transformation based on a two stage hashing algorithm. We first hash the face image using a two stages robust image hashing techn...Show More
A variable step size technique is applied to joint modified constant modulus algorithm (MCMA) and decision-directed (DD) equalization algorithm to speed up convergence with respect to the original algorithm. The same technique is used with joint CMA and DD algorithm and exhibits improved performance.Show More
In this paper, a secure face recognition system is presented, in which face detection is performed with skin color detection followed by light normalization and normalized cross correlation. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used for face verification. Due to the rising concern about the security and privacy of the biometric system, we offer a secure storage for user records by encrypting them...Show More
An auto-sensitivity control circuit using analog topology for wired CDMA bus interface is proposed. Because, the bus capacitance is directly proportional to the number of transmitter/receiver pairs, the receiver circuit of CDMA requires different sensitivities for different number of transmitter/receiver pairs. We proposed an analog circuit that controls the effect of using different number of tra...Show More
In spread spectrum communication receivers a matched filter can be used as the correlator for acquisition and tracking of synchronization. For a mobile communication terminals large power consumption of the matched filter is serious problem because total power consumption is limited. We proposed a new analog matched filter using sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit, which performs correlation operation i...Show More
