Abstract

The Automotive Multiple Input Multiple Output MIMO Radar technology employs multiple transmitting and receiving antennas to significantly enhance radar performance, offering superior resolution and precise target detection capabilities. The need for this study arises from the increasing demand for precise, reliable radar systems in complex and cluttered military environments. The study aims to improve resolution, enhance target discrimination, and optimize radar performance under adverse conditions. Models utilized in this study include MIMO techniques, rain rate models, fog visibility models, and both frequency band F-band and wave band W-band radars. The proposed methodology encompasses designing and simulating antenna arrays, developing suitable waveforms, implementing advanced signal processing algorithms, and comparing performance metrics of different radar systems. Key steps involve antenna array configuration, radiation pattern analysis, beamforming, and performance testing in simulated scenarios. Results indicate that higher frequency radars offer improved data capacity, better range resolution, and higher jamming resistance compared to lower frequency systems. However, these higher-frequency radars also experience greater attenuation due to environmental factors like rain and fog. The proposed model significantly contributes to the comparison and selection of MIMO Radar systems for military applications, ensuring enhanced situational awareness, target acquisition, and operational effectiveness in demanding environments.

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel dynamic comparator design optimized for SAR ADCs, focusing on key advancements in energy efficiency, kickback noise reduction, and speed improvement. The proposed design replaces PMOS transistors with NMOS in the clock path and eliminates the inverter circuit, resulting in substantial reductions in both static and transient power consumption. Through simulations in Cadence Virtuoso (45nm), the design demonstrates significant improvements in transient power, static power, and kickback noise compared to traditional designs. These contributions make the proposed comparator particularly well-suited for energy-efficient, precision-critical applications such as IoT devices, wearables, and biomedical systems. This work marks a significant step toward developing more efficient ADCs for next-generation technologies.

Abstract

Medical image fusion utilizes diverse diagnostic information found between multiple medical images to produce one improved display for better clinical procedures and diagnostic accuracy. The research develops an effective framework for multimodal medical images fusion by utilizing Cross Bilateral Filtering (CBF) and Edge-Preserving Processing applied to CT, MRI, PET and SPECT data types. The proposed method adopts CBF to maintain edge integrity while it removes noise and reveals fine image details. An enhancement of significant image features occurs through edge-preserving processing by dividing low-pass content from residual elements. A gradient-based integration process combines processed images through a method that strengthens details found in places where gradient magnitudes reach higher levels. The assessments of consolidated images used Normalized Cross-Correlation (NCC) together with Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), and Entropy as evaluation metrics. Experimental evaluations confirm the proposed technique successfully maintains diagnostic vital information while improving visual clarity, which indicates its reliability for medical practice.

Abstract

This study focuses on wireless communication for data transmission between vehicles. Wireless communication has become an essential part of modern life, playing a fundamental role in various applications. Different types of wireless communication networks are used in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, including Radio Frequency (RF), Wi-Fi, and others. However, these technologies have certain limitations. For instance, RF-based communication has slower data transmission, which can delay vehicle responses and potentially lead to accidents. Wi-Fi offers faster transmission, but low signal strength can cause inaccurate data transfer, again posing safety risks. To address these challenges, Li-Fi technology is proposed. Li-Fi is an advanced wireless communication method that provides higher transmission speeds compared to Wi-Fi and RF. In this approach, Li-Fi is used for vehicle communication to help reduce road and fire accidents. The system includes sensors such as a gas sensor, fire sensor, alcohol sensor, and pressure sensor, along with an LCD display, Li-Fi transmitter, and an LDR as the receiver. Data is transmitted using LEDs. By integrating this technology into vehicles, safety can be significantly enhanced, reducing the likelihood of accidents. Beyond automotive applications, Li-Fi can also be utilized in smart homes, healthcare systems, industrial automation, and intelligent transport systems.

This paper presents an eight-element multiband planar antenna array designed for operation in the 3–25 GHz frequency band, as permitted by The European Commission, 2014. The antenna features elliptical-shaped radiators and a stripline excitation network, ensuring uniform power distribution. The novel array technique effectively addresses the impedance matching challenges in ultra wideband antenna designs. By optimizing the feeding network and incorporating DGS, the design enhances the coupling between the feed and the radiating element, leading to improved gain and a broader bandwidth while maintaining compactness and favorable radiation patterns. The simulation results are in good agreement, indicating that the proposed design is robust and promising for multiband applications.
