Abstract: مع زيادة التطور الكبير الذي يحصل في علم الاتصالات ومع وجود قناة عامة (public channel) تنتقل من خلالها المعلومات زادت المشاكل التي تخص القناة وبالخصوص مشكلتين رئيسيتين هما انتهاك الخصوصية ووجود الضوضاء. بخصوص امنية الاتصال : بما ان القناة عامة وبامكان اي م | With the significant development in communication systems especially with the public channel through which information travels, there are increasing in the channels problems. Among these problems, the two important should be addressed are the information security and the noise. In this thesis, an efficient communication system with high security and high immunity against noise has been proposed. From security perspective, the proposed scheme uses two levels of encryption based on chaotic systems. The first level is chaotic scrambling, while the second level is chaotic masking. Two levels of chaos based encryption make information very secure during their transition in the channel because the key space becomes too large. The simulation results show that the Segmental Spectral Signal to Noise Ratio (SSSNR) of the first level (chaotic scrambling) is reduced by - 5.195 dB in comparison with time domain scrambling. In the second level (chaotic masking), the SSSNR is reduced by - 20.679 dB. It is also show that when the two levels are combined, the overall reduction obtained is - 21.755 dB.Concerning the immunity against noise, the proposed system offers three methods to reduce the effect of noise. The first method is based on sending each scrambled sample more than once. The simulation results showed that gain of this method is 10 dB if we send each voice sample 8 times over the classical method without repetition. The second method relies on the conversion of information from analog to digital format before doing the masking. The simulation results of this method show that the mean square error (MSE) is reduced and this reduction increases as signal to noise ratio (SNR) increase. For instance when SNR=10 dB, the MSE is reduced from ?10?^( - 1) to 2*?10?^( - 2) while it reduced from ?10?^( - 2) to 3*?10?^( - 6) when SNR=22 dB. The third method is increasing the power of the information signal relative to chaotic signal. The simulation results show that when the power is duplicated and at SNR = 24 dB, the MSE is reduced from 3*?10?^( - 3) to 0.5*?10?^( - 4) and to 3*?10?^( - 5) when the signal power is tripled.

Abstract: في السنوات الاخيرة، كان هناك اهتمام متزايد في اشباه موصلات اوكسيد الخارصين للتطبيقات الضوئية ضمن منطقة الاطوال الموجية الفوق البنفسجية وذلك لكون طاقة اثارة الربط كبيرة (60 meV) وطاقة الفجوة الواسعة (3.37 eV) في درجة حرارة الغرفة. في هذا العمل, ثلاث متحسس | In recent years, there has been increasing interest in Zinc Oxide (ZnO) semiconductors for optoelectronic applications in the Ultraviolet (UV) region due to its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) and wide bandgap energy (3.37 eV). In this work, three devices of Metal Semiconductor Metal (MSM) UV photodetectors (PDs) and photoconductors (PCDs) based on ZnO were fabricated in the form of Interdigitated (IDT) MSM structures. The ZnO thin films were prepared by sol - gel spin coating technique, and deposited on a P - type Si and glass substrates. The Nickel (Ni) and Aluminum (Al) contacts were deposited by a vacuum coating deposition technique. The morphological, structural and electrical properties of the ZnO thin films were estimated by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X - Ray diffraction (XRD), four - point probe and Hall effect measurements. Optical bandgap of ZnO film was evaluated using a double beam spectrophotometer. With applied voltage in the range ( - 5 to 5 V), the photocurrent, contrast ratio, gain, responsivity, detectivity, and Noise Equivalent Power (NEP) were estimated. The Photodetectors were illuminated with UV of 254 nm at room temperature (27 °C) and under different levels of optical power ranging between (163.2 ?w ? 172.3?w). Current Voltage (I - V) characteristics were studied and the values of the saturation current (I - s), ideality factor (n), barrier height (? - B), reach - through voltage (VRT) and flat - band voltage (VFB) were extracted under dark condition. Data analysis and curves were plotted using origin software (graphing and data analysis). The AFM and SEM images clearly demonstrate the formation of well - aligned ZnO, with smooth nanometer granular structure, dense and a good morphology. The grain size and average roughness (rms) values were found to be (59 nm, 12 nm) on Si substrate and (31 nm, 2 nm) on glass substrate, respectively.For Ni/ZnO/Ni MSM PD on Si substrate, the device has VRT of (0.56 V) and VFB of (1.5 V). The responsivity and detectivity were estimated to be (1.334 A/W and 3×1011cmHz 1/2 W - 1), respectively. I - s was found to be (8.3×10 - 7 A), n (4.4) and ? - B (0.67 eV). However for Al/ZnO/Al MSM PCDs on Si and on glass substrates, the responsivity and detectivity were (0.45 A/W and 1.2×1011 cmHz 1/2W1) and (0.94 A/W and 2.9×1011 cmHz 1/2 W - 1), respectively.The I - V measurement results obtained indicate that, the Ni/ZnO/Ni MSM PD on Si substrate behaves as a typical Schottky contact and the dominant current transport mechanism is field thermionic emission. However semi linear behavior for Al/ZnO/Al PCD on Si substrate and the current flowing through the junction was following thermionic emission mechanism, while a symmetric I - V behaviors and an excellent linear relationship between the current and applied voltage are observed in both direction for Al/ZnO/Al MSM PCD on glass substrate. The estimated responsivities, detectivities with fairly low dark currents make the diodes attractive for practical UV detector applications

In this study, developing a folded microstrip antenna based on a novel antipodal Vivaldi structure based metamaterial inclusions of single negative properties is proposed for wideband applications. Although, Vivaldi antennas show unlimited bandwidth, an acceptable directivity, small size, light weight and easy to fabricate, but, it suffers from low gain due to traveling surface waves effects and therefore, it cannot be embedded inside the integrated systems ,where, the radiation direction is in the end - fire that limits their use to the outdoor applications. Therefore, a remarkable attention was the first in the literature, is proposed in this thesis by introducing single negative metamaterials to the folded antipodal Vivaldi antenna structure. This work is developed based on a systematic approach which can be divided mainly into four parts : First of all, design a single negative metamaterial structure of a surface area 5×5 mm2 on an FR4 - Epoxy substrate. The unit cell properties are evaluated numerically and analytically, then, compared to the measurement. Second, a systematic approach is applied to design an antipodal Vivaldi antenna based flat profile of a corrugated shape with 50×38 mm2 on the FR4 - Epoxy substrate. Third, the best arrive of the flat geometry is folded on a hello Teflon substrate of an elliptical cross - sectional area. Fourth, the folded antenna structure is surrounded by a U - shaped single negative metamaterial array. The performance of the all proposed antennas are evaluated numerically, then, compared to their measurements in both S11 and radiation patterns. It is found that the antenna bandwidth has affected insignificantly by applying the metamaterial structures. However, with respect to the flat antenna model, the gain is increased generally by 6 dB as well as the radiation pattern is oriented to the broadside. It is worth to mention that the achieved enhancement in the gain is mostly attributed to the folded substrate and the metamaterial introduction. While, the bandwidth enhancement is mostly obtained from the folded antenna structure. The optimum structure shows a first mode around 1.4 GHz and the second one at 2.86 GHz, while, the flat antenna only one mode at 1.5 GHz is appeared.Finally, the HFSS, CST MWS, Matlab and ADS software packages are used in this thesis to study the unit cell performance and the antenna structure. Excellent agreements have been found between the simulated and measured results.

Abstract: في هذه الدراسة, تم تصميم منظومتين من CPM وتم تقييم ادائهما في مختلف قنوات الاتصال. اولا, تم اقتراح تقنية فعالة لتخمين القيمة الابتدائية للاشارة الفوضوية في منظومة تضمين القيمة الابتدائية المسماة M - ary ICM. هذه التقنية سميت ب MACE. هذه التقنية قللت من تع | In this study, two Chaotic Parameter Modulation(CPM) schemes are designed and their performance in different communication channels has been evaluated. Firstly, an efficient technique for initial condition estimation of chaotic signal in M - ary Initial Condition Modulation (ICM) scheme is proposed. This technique has been called Maximum Auto Correlation Estimation (MACE). It reduces the complexity of the demodulator; thereby, it minimizes the hardware implementation cost. Simulation results confirm that, the proposed technique outperforms the conventional technique used in direct sequence spread spectrum quadrature amplitude modulation (DSSS - QAM) system in AWGN channel when high modulation level (M) is used. At BER=10 - 3, 16, 256 ary DSSS - QAM achieve gains in Eb/N0 of about 7dB and 0.8dB in comparison with 16, 256 - ary ICM respectively because the modulation level is low. While 1024, 4096 and 16384 - ary ICM achieve gains in Eb/N0 of about 6dB, 10dB and16.5dB in comparison with 1024, 4096 and 16384 ary DSSS - QAM respectively because the modulation level is high. Furthermore, a modified version of ICM that uses BPSK modulation and one chaotic signals source together with MACE technique is proposed to reduce the implementation cost named as BPSK - ICM scheme. Simulation results confirm that, BPSK - ICM has a comparable BER performance to the DS - SS system in AWGN channel.Secondly, the bifurcation parameter of a chaotic signal has been estimated accurately by utilizing the ergodic properties of a chaotic dynamical signal. In BPSK ergodic chaotic parameter modulation (BPSK - ECPM) scheme, the information signal modulates the bifurcating parameter of the chaotic signal. A mean value estimation technique is used at the receiver to retrieve the original information accurately. This method minimizes the computational complexity of the receiver; thereby, reduces the total implementation cost.Simulation results show that, at BER=10 - 3, BPSK - ECPM scheme achieves gains in Eb/N0 of about 1dB, 1.5dB, 5.2dB, 6.5dB, 9dB, 10 dB and 11 dB, as compared with CSS, CC,FM - DCSK, DCSK,CSK,COOK and QCSK schemes respectively in AWGN channel. While in Rayleigh fading channel, at BER=10 - 3, BPSK - ECPM achieve gains in Eb/N0 of about 4.8dB, 5.8dB, 6.5dB and 11.8dB, as compared with FM - DCSK,CSS,CC and DCSK schemes respectively. Furthermore, BPSK - ECPM scheme outperforms conventional chaotic modulation systems in the presence of synchronization error and high data rate problems. Finally, BPSK - ECPM scheme shows a good recovery performance of image signal in multipath fading channel for intelligent transportation system (ITS).

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) contains many low cost and low power sensor nodes (SNs), these nodes may fail to communicate with each other according to some reasons such as battery lifetime, uncontrolled events or any surrounding environment actions which will lead to partition the network and reduce the Quality of Service (QoS) as well as the reliability and efficiency of the whole network. The motivation of this work was detecting these malfunctions using three approaches considered with two proposed network models : random distributed SNs and real model.Firstly, localization approach in WSN are discussed and verified using four classic localization methods to detect any failed SN, which are : Distance Vector (DV - Hop), Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time of Arrival (ToA) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). These methods are analyzed and implemented for three different areas, each with three different numbers of SNs. All of them are implemented using MATLAB programming language. Secondly a known fault detection method called Distributed Fault Detection (DFD) discussed and implemented using MATLAB also, and a new method developed from this method named (MDFD) to overcome the disadvantages of DFD method. Finally the feature of the connectivity of the SNs themselves within the network is exploited by using two Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol standards : Sleep Medium Access Control (SMAC) and Tune Medium Access Control (TMAC) protocols, then proposed a modified MAC protocol (MMAC) to enhance the most affecting factors of these two MAC standards such as energy consumption and latency. The performance analysis of these three MAC protocols is verified and simulated using a real model for Iraq, Baghdad, Al - Kadhumyah City, by Castalia 3.2 simulator also designed and implemented these three protocols using an iOS application by the XCode program for general application sensors especially for explosives detection sensors, Fido® X3 sensor proposed forthis application. Simulation results showed that the localization methods proved their ability to localize the failed SNs, but with impractical errors (about 23%) in results than the other approaches, and additional load effect on the network due to execute the localization programs separately before each node failure detection. The DFD approach applied with homogeneous WSNs only that contain only one type of sensors, its errors (starting from 25% for three SNs) was due to its algorithm limitations in using only half of the neighbor SNs, reduced in MDFD method algorithm in which all neighbor SNs considered to detect the failed SN reaching full detection accuracy but with latency tradeoff. The MAC approach is better than localization approach because there is no need to additional hardware for node failure detection; it is also better than DFD approach because it was applicable with both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous WSNs. The three MAC protocols succeeded to detect the failed SNs, but SMAC and TMAC had their tradeoff in energy consumption and latency, when SMAC had less energy consumption (69.62% than TMAC), while TMAC had less latency (27.58% than SMAC). MMAC is combining the advantages of both SMAC and TMAC that had a less energy consumption than that in SMAC by 54.16% and smaller latency than that in TMAC by 76.19% within a range of division index m : between 1 to 5.

Abstract: The routing protocol designed for Internet of Things (IoT) systems has to be adapted with different applications requirements in order to enhance the performance of IoT applications. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis is proposing a routing protocol for wireless sensor network employed to serve IoT systems. A new IoT architecture was proposed with explaining the main functions of each layer forming the proposed architecture. The proposed routing protocol acted according to the tasks specified in this architecture. In addition, an IoT application was proposed to be applicable in some utility organizations. The link quality, node depth and energy were used as metrics to make routing decisions. In this work, different cases were proposed to exhibit the usage of these metrics and show the differences of using each of them, then examine different techniques which deal with link quality and the difference between using node - to - node link quality and end - to - end link quality. Improvements were added to the proposed routing protocol to achieve the perfect integration with suitable Media Access Control (MAC) protocol with taking into consideration the behavior of IoT application. Regarding this orientation, two approaches were suggested; the first includes the proposed routing protocol, application with high data rate and MAC protocol without sleeping capabilities; while the second approach included the proposed routing protocol, application with dynamic data rate and MAC protocol with sleeping capabilities. Comparison with other protocols was essential to show the improvements achieved by this work, thus protocols designed to serve the same purpose such as AODV, REL and LABILE were chosen to compare the proposed routing protocol with. To add integrative and holistic, some of important features such as actuating and mobility were added and tested. These features were greatly required by some of IoT applications and improving the routing protocol to support them made it more suitable for IoT systems. The proposed routing protocol was simulated using Castalia - 3.2 and all proposed approaches were examined to show the enhancement achieved by each approach. The results showed better performance when using end - to - end link quality. The results also showed the effect of MAC protocol if decreasing energy consumption was required. Sleeping MAC was the best choice when used with the proposed routing protocol while reducing the data rate. The proposed routing showed better performance than other protocols did regarding Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and latency. It preserved network reliability since it did not generate routing or data packets needlessly. Routing protocol with added features (actuating and mobility) showed good performance. But that performance was affected by increasing the speed of mobile nodes.

Abstract: The Wind Energy is one of renewable energy and has become very popular and more attractive, as a result of many factors, some of these factors are, rising oil prices, worldwide awareness of the decline in world oil production, an raise in the price of natural gas. Therefore the need for renewable energy has been very important.This work deals with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine. By studying the performance of DFIG connected to the grid with constant and variable speed wind. Three cases are considered and implemented using Matlab/Simulink. The first case is studied the effect of the size of capacitance at DC - bus with constant wind speed using space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) switching frequency 10KHZ and two values of capacitance.The second case is studied the effect of three phase fault condition, at 33KV line.The third case is that when the input is variable speed wind, the simulation results illustrate that is with variable wind speed and conventional values of PI controllers gains the generator system behavior show increasing in rising time and maximum overshoot of generated power, the control circuit is needed for optimization to improve the generated power. This optimization can be made by tuning the controllers parameters with optimal values, so the optimization is made by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The new optimal controllers parameters(PI - PSO) make the system more efficient from the results by reducing the ripple of DC - Voltage and maximum overshoot. And the generated active power get more smooth and rising time has been reduced.

In this work, LT code design of LT code implemented by using Mat lab as simulation software, our design consists of three parts (encoder, channel and decoder). In the channel design, flat fading channel will be used as a noisy channel to measure the performance of LT code over this type of channels. From the result obtained, SNR improvement by (30dB) at (BER=?10?^( - 4)) compared with data effect by the fading channel without coding with BPSK modulation model under different values of degree of distribution (d). Other type of modulation model (QPSK) used to measure the effect of changing the modulation type on the code performance. From the results obtained, SNR improvement by (31dB) at (BER=?10?^( - 4)) compared with data effect by the fading channel without coding. The degree of distribution (d) is a critical point of design, two types of distribution presented in this work, robust soliton distribution (RSD) and ideal soliton distribution (ISD). (ISD) works poorly in practice, (RSD) is a practical way used to get the degree of distribution in design by adding two extra parameters (c and ? ) which provide the spike element (k/R) in high degree distribution to ensure the continued of decoding process. As a result obtained the value of (c) has a major effect on the spike position on high degree (c=0.15,k/R=10 and c=0.2,k/R=7) with selective value of ?=0.5.The successful decoding probability for two types of degree distribution is very important, the value of successful decoding probability for (ISD) for low number of encoding packets (50 - 100) packet is greater than the value of successful decoding probability for (RSD). In the high number of encoding packets (>150) the value of successful decoding probability for (RSD) is greater than the value of successful decoding probability for (ISD).Encoding time for two type of distribution also discussed in this work, based on the results obtained the encoding packets time when using (RSD) is less than the encoding packets time when using (ISD).

Abstract: يعتبر تخمين حالة منظومات القدرة الكهربائية من الامور المهمة في تشغيل منظومات القدرة وخصوصا في حالة الحمل الزائد على شبكة الطاقة الكهربائية من خلال دوره في ضمان تشغيل اكثر اقتصاديا وامانا. تم في هذا العمل دراسة تخمين حالة منظومة القدرة واقتراح طريقة فعا | Due to the increasing stress on power system networks, state estimation recently became a main matter in the operation of power systems through its important role in ensuring the secure and economical operation of the power system. This work presents a study of a problem of power system state estimation, and proposes an efficient and reliable optimization approach to solve the power system state estimation problem. Two programs have been proposed and implemented in order to overcome the disadvantage of the classical optimization problem and search for the optimal solution of state estimation in power systems, the first program is a conventional state estimation program based on Weighted Least Square (WLS) method, and the second program is an intelligent program based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. All programs have been implemented using MATLAB and have been developed to solve the state estimation problem of the Iraqi Super Grid network (400kV). The proposed programs have been examined and tested on the 14 - bus IEEE and 30 - bus IEEE test standard system. The results were compared with those of the previous published papers. Then, the two programs were applied on the Iraqi Super Grid network (400 kV). The tests proved that the two methods are very efficient and suitable for on - line applications since they are concise and require few computations. The results show that the convergence of the (PSO) technique to the optimal solution is more accurate than (WLS) method. On the other hand, the PSO has an acceptable execution time compared with the freezing time of Iraqi Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system approved by the Iraqi national grid.

Abstract: The traffic accidents became significantly obsession and concern for all members of society, and has become one of the most important problems that sap physical, human resources and human potential. The researches show that the damaged property and other costs may equal 3% of world’s gross domestic product, which have been required to work in finding solutions and suggestions and put them into practice to reduce these incidents.The insertion of preventive safety applications into the car system can avoid the above mistakes. In this work, a design and implementation of Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system working at 77GHz for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) technology is proposed. Using MATLAB R 2013 which is a flexible system to estimate the speed and distance in accordance to vehicle ahead, which reduces the forces on the rate of accidents by warning the driver when two vehicle become too close.Also, the principle of FMCW radar is presented to generate Linear Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (LFMCW) sweep waveform through frequency bands with triangular frequency modulation using Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO), a triangle sweep pattern adopt will resolve ambiguity without Doppler processing. which improves the decision making before hardware implementation.Proteus Professional v8 and Micro C PRO v 6.1 compiler is used for Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) to design a proposed collision warning circuit with PIC16F887 and RS_232 serial port to send data using USART terminal for (short, middle, large) test range.A serial communication interface is used for sending the simulation results from MATLAB FMCW radar system to hardware easy PIC v7 board with PIC16F887 to forward collision warning circuit to alerts the driver of collision risk, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows radar status (short, middle, large) in accordance to range between the vehicle that FMCW radar installed and the vehicle ahead.Graphic Liquid Crystal Display (GLCD) shows the car position and road lines. Piezo Buzzer will start singing to alerts the driver from danger road.The simulation design is achieving the desired performance, one parameter warrants further attention. In the FMCW configuration, the sweep time is about 25 microseconds. Therefore, the system needs to sweep a 140 MHz band within a very short period. Such an automotive radar may able to meet the cost requirement.

Abstract: تطورت خدمات الاتصالات بشكل متسارع في السنوات القليلة الماضية خصوصا في المسافات بعيدة المدى وبمعدل نقل البيانات بدقة عالية وخسائر قليلة في جميع انحاء العالم. وقدمت تقنيات مختلفة لزيادة سعة الارسال في انظمة اتصالات الالياف الضوئية بواسطة جمع مسارات البيانا | In recent years, there has been an extensive development of optical fiber services. They provide transmission over long distances at a high data rate with few losses all over the world. Different techniques have been introduced to increase the transmission capacity of optical fiber communication systems by a multiplexed high data rate stream into an optical fiber such as Dense Wavelength Division Multiplying (DWDM) technique. Since the deployment of DWDM technique, the focus on introducing large system capacity with high system performance, different detection techniques have been introduced to enhance the system performance with high sensitivity. In this work, two types of detection techniques (direct and coherent detection) have been evaluated and compared with each other. These detection techniques have been evaluated based on several models of encoding format such as Return to Zero - Differential Phase Shift Keying (RZ - DPSK) and Non Return to Zero - Differential Phase Shift Keying (NRZ - DPSK) at 10 Gb/s as a data rate.These systems were first simulated with a single channel to analyze the performance with no Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS), Cross Phase Modulation (XPM) and Four Wave Mixing (FWM) effects. Whereby the system of 8×10 Gb/s is simulated at 200 GHz, 100 GHz and 50 GHz as channel spacing. Three types of dispersion compensation schemes are used in the link channel. These systems are simulated using (Optisystem version 10.0) software package. The performance of the designed systems are evaluated through Q.factor verses input power and Bit Error Rate (BER) verses Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).The polarization interleaving is used with the WDM systems to decrease the nonlinear effects and the crosstalk arising among the adjacent channels.The obtained results of the 67% RZ - DPSK arrived to the threshold power at input power less than of the 50% RZ - DPSK, as well as the 50% RZ - DPSK system arrived to maximum Q.factor lower than 33% RZ - DPSK. This is due to the pulse duration of 33% RZ - DPSK is smaller than of 50% and 67% RZ - DPSK.The results show that the coherent detection technique has better performance than the direct detection technique. The coherent detection technique has Q.factor equal to 45, while the direct detection has Q.factor equal to 27 at the same input power ( - 5dBm), while the coherent detection technique arrived to the threshold power at the input power less than of the direct detection technique.The BER of the 33% RZ - DPSK with coherent detection with 10 Gb/s at 300 km as transmission distance achieved ?10?^( - 12.9) at SNR of 10 dB, while for the 33% RZ - DPSK with direct detection is achieved a BER of ?10?^( - 8.8) with SNR of 10 dB.The performance of the proposed systems has been improved extrusivly with increase the space channel, where the performance of the systems at 200 MHz as channel spacing has best performance than 50 MHz as channel spacing.By adapting coherent detection with 33% RZ - DPSK technique of 200 MHz as channel spacing, DWDM system can carry high data rate with long - haul transmission distance.

Abstract: This study focused on designing and analyzing patch antennabased metamaterial with the aid of partial ground plane. High Frequency Structure Simulation (HFSS) software was used to build and analyze a proposed unit cell of 4×4 mm² and resonant frequency of around 12 GHz. The unit cell was constructed from a patterned patch and ground plane that are connected with via through an FR - 4 substrate. The unit cell performances were studied in terms of S - parameters, effective refractive index, and dispersion properties. And it was found that the metamaterial properties appeared in the frequency band from 11 GHz to 14 GHz, where the unit cell exhibited less than 1 refractive index. A theoretical investigation based on TLM was developed to extract the values of thebasic lumped, RLC, elements network. It was found that the proposed unit cell behave like an unbalanced case of a passive constant k band elimination filter in the mentioned earlier frequency band. A parametric study based on numerical simulation was invoked to arrive to the optimal design through monitoring the effects of adding the MTM structures on the antenna performance. Therefore, this parametric study was optimized to achieve maximum bandwidth with relatively best gain.Finally, the optimal design was fabricated, measured and compared with the numerical results, obtained from Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and HFSS, in term of radiation pattern, S11 spectrum and gain. The experimental results confirmed that the gain of the antenna was 5.8 dBi at 10 GHZ with excellent matching over a wide range of frequencies. Furthermore, acceptable agreement was achieved between measured and simulated results in terms of S11 spectrum and radiation patterns at 10 GHz.

Abstract: يعد تخطيط شبكات التوزيع الكهربائية من الاولويات في الوقت الحاضر في العراق نظرا للزيادة الهائلة في الاحمال الكهربائية والتوسعات المفروضة على الشبكات نتيجة التوسع العمراني الكبير والسريع.يتحقق الاداء الامثل للشبكة بتقليل المفاقيد‘ تحسين الجهد (Voltage pr | Planning of electrical distribution networks is considered of highest priority at the present time in Iraq, due to the huge increase in electrical power demand and expansions imposed on distribution networks as a result of the great and rapid urban development. Optimum performance of the electrical network is achieved by reducing losses, improving voltage profile and alleviating overload for the system components. Such operation provides for energy salvage and redundancy in the electrical network. A planning method is proposed in this work to achieve optimum operating conditions of the network by combining the network reconfiguration in conjunction with the insertion of capacitors of optimal sizing and locations. This method is classified as a huge discrete non - linear optimization problem due to the large number of variables along with the presence of constraints and objectives. The power losses and voltages in buses for all cases are obtained by backward/forward load flow method. The proposed planning of distribution networks is based on the powerful and advanced CYMDist software as a tool for the simulation of distribution networks and performing the required analysis. CYMDist is practical and efficient analysis software, which is used by many electrical companies worldwide as well as the Iraqi ministry of electricity.Optimal network reconfiguration and capacitor placement methods are tested on IEEE 33 - bus and IEEE 34 - bus test systems, respectively. The results show excellent matching as compared with previous work mentioned in the literature.The work is implemented on an actual sector from Baghdad city distribution network, which is Al_Bayaa 11kV, 145 bus, four feeders system. The presented results show that minimum active power losses with improved voltage profile had been achieved. So the network can operate normally without any constraints violation.

Abstract: Optical antennas, resonant structures, which efficiently collect free - space light and focus it into a nanoscale volume using plasmonic, are indispensable in the burgeoning field of nanophotonics. In this work, resonance behaviors of the fundamental resonance mode of diabolo gold metal bar optical antennas were investigated. The relationship between the near - field enhancement, absorption, and scattering spectra of localized plasmonic elements was explored. It was found that as the waist of the diabolo gold metal bar optical antenna was reduced, optical energy absorption cross section and near field enhancement at resonance increased significantly. Also reduction of the diabolo waist width caused redshift of the resonant wavelengths in the spectra of absorption cross - section, scattering cross - section, and the near electric field. Oppositely, it was found that as the length of the diabolo gold metal bar optical antenna was reduced, optical energy absorption cross section and near field enhancement at resonance decreases significantly. Also reduction of the diabolo length caused blue - shift of the resonant wavelengths in the spectra of absorption cross - section, scattering cross - section, and the near electric field.Grating surface diabolo antenna design was proposed. It was found that grating superstructure perturbed the optical properties of SPPs (Surface Plasmon polarions) and enabled the control of resonance wavelength of the antenna. The grating reduced the power that flow out from the antenna and enhanced the localized electromagnetic fields intensity. The grating also increased surface plasmon currents because of the formation of bound surface states. As a result, the absorption spectra and near field intensity were enhanced but at the same time, the scattering spectra and the far field pattern were reduced.Titanium - Gold grating surface diabolo antenna was proposed. It was found that titanium metal strengthen the grating perturbation of the optical properties of SPPs and allowed wide range of wavelength shifting (3.5 ?m). Because Gold and Titanium have difference electrical resonance characteristics, less plasmon damping occurred, resulting in lower scattering efficiency and narrower plasmon line widths.Finally, system modelling and simulations is done by using electrical department super computer (24 parallel MP and 64 GB RAM) and COMSOL multiphysics 4.4 software.

In this work, the effect of different types of disturbances on the performance of fixed speed of wind turbine generator type Squirrel Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) connected to the power system has been investigated, because it has features which make the best choice in some cases, despite the less efficiency compared with other types of generators. Also, this work aims to study and analysis the effect of (STATCOM) on the wind turbine generators because of its advantages in improving voltage stability of the grid and improving the quality of the productive power. The proposed work is performed using MATLAB/Simulink. The intelligent systems have been used to obtain the best performance in terms of extracting more power from wind energy as well as increase the stability of system in situations of disturbances and the results obtained have been compared with conventional control systems.Three types of controllers are proposed in this work; the first controller is the Proportional - Integral (PI) based on classical trial and error method, the second controller is PI - controller based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique for optimal tuning (gain) to improve the performance of the system. The results obtained proved that the PI - controller based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is better than based on trial and error method. The third controller is (Nonlinear Auto regressive - Moving Average) NARMA - L2 based on (PSO). Finally, the results of the proposed controllers show that NARMA - L2 controller is more effective on the stabilization and improves the performance of the system compared with PI - PSO controller

Abstract: With limited enhancement or expansion of the transmission infrastructure, the contemporary power systems are operating under more stressed conditions. It becomes important to fully utilize the existing transmission system to supply load demand as much as possible, thus eliminating or reducing the need for new transmission investment. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) technology provides a method to fully utilize the existing transmission lines as well as new and upgraded lines. However, the implementation of FACTS devices in the transmission system has introduced new power system dynamics that must be addressed in the area of power system protection, such as rapid changes in line impedance, line current and voltage. This thesis reports the results of comprehensive study carried out to explore the impact of mainly two of the FACTS devices, Static Synchronous Compensator 'STATCOM' and Unified Power Flow Controller 'UPFC', on the distance protection relaying system in order to identify important issues that protection engineers need to consider, that is during the stages of design and operation of the protection system. Simulation studies are carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK. First, the distance relay has been modeled and validated with FACTS device models using test systems from literature. Then the distance relay performance is analyzed and evaluated for various fault and loading conditions in the presence of FACTS devices. A comprehensive study and results for one of the Iraqi 400kV transmission lines (KDS4 - NSRP transmission line) are presented and useful recommendations can be presented to the General Directorate of electrical Power Transmission for Middle Euphrates region / Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. II Abstract Generally, the results show that the apparent impedance seen by the distance relay would be different from that of the system without FACTS devices. Due to this, the distance relay may malfunction, resulting in undependable operation of the power system protection during faults. Furthermore, the results show clearly the dependency of the distance relay operation on many design and operational factors. These include the FACTS device type and its use purpose, the FACTS device connection point or location, the fault type and fault point location along the line, the power flow,...etc.

Abstract: Load forecasting is used by participants in electric energy generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing for a variety of decision - making processes, such as economic dispatch, unit commitment, hydro - thermal coordination, transaction evaluation, and expansion planning. However, the need for accurate forecasts has intensified in the last decade due to the energy industry deregulation. Taking this into account as well as the rapid fluctuations in demand and abrupt changes in weather condition, access to reliable models for accurate forecast of load demand is essential. Due to the need for accurate load forecasts, numerous statistical and artificial intelligence methods have been proposed for the short - term load forecasting problem.In this study, the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method, which is one of the statistical methods, and an Interval Type - 2 Takagi - Sugeno - Kang Fuzzy Logic System (IT - 2 TSK FLS), which is one of the artificial methods and an extension of the conventional fuzzy logic system, were applied. Developed models were trained using the genetic algorithm. With the purpose of an objective assessment, the available dataset was split into training samples (80%, ????????????) and test samples (20%, ??????????). The training data used in this study covered the period from January 1, 2012 to February 1, 2012 for winter season and the period from July 1, 2012 to August 1, 2012 for summer season. The actual load forecasting period started from January 22, till 28, 2012 for winter model and from July 22 till 28, 2012 for summer model.This work suggested two models; the first model was for hourly (24 hour) load forecasting for one day ahead and the second model was for one week ahead in hourly forecasting (from one until 168 hour). For each model, winter and summer seasons were presented. The Main average percentage error (MAPE) term is an index that provides information about the bias of the model and how close forecasts or predictions are to the eventual outcomes. Experiments conducted with real datasets for the Iraqi power system showed that IT2 TSK FLS models precisely approximated future load demands with an acceptable accuracy.The real data for Iraqi power system were taken from Iraqi Operation and Control Office which belongs to the Ministry of Electricity.A computer program, written in MATLAB programming languages, was developed to represent the proposed method.

Abstract: Autonomous mobile robots are used in various applications such as dangerous regions. These applications demand robust and adaptable methods for path planning.Path planning optimization problem is a fundamental problem for robot navigation; its purpose is to find a collision - free path from the initial position to a target position. Many real - world optimization problems have become increasingly large, complex and dynamic, which require the development of methods and solutions whose efficiency ismeasured by their ability to find acceptable results within a reasonable amount of time.The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithms are used for solving hard optimization problems, including path planning. BFO algorithm is a simple and powerful searching technique. On the other hand, Artificial Potential Field (APF) as a real time obstacle avoidance method is quite simple in theory, but it is easy to bring local minimum problem and failing to find a path in the narrow channel. Therefore, a method for hybridizing APF with BFO is introduced to make use of both methods' advantages. This thesis presents efficient and reliable four optimization algorithms to solve the path planning problem. The first two algorithms are developed based on ABC algorithm as global path planning; they specifically are modified version of ABC algorithm called Directed ABC (DABC) algorithm and a new fitness function added to ABC algorithm named Minimum Angles (MAABC) algorithm was developed. The other two algorithms were proposed based on BFO and APF algorithms as local path planning; they were namely improved versions of BFO algorithm with adaptive step size (ASBFO) algorithm and a proposed version of BFO algorithm with an adaptive tumble (ATBFO) algorithm.The developed algorithms were simulated using MATLAB R2011b package. The simulation results showed that these algorithms could find the shortest paths for even crowded environments. Moreover, these algorithmswere compared with other researchers’ work to evaluate their performance. Additionally, a comparison was made between the executing time of the proposed local path planning algorithms (ASBFO and ATBFO algorithms) and the real tracked military robot (e.g., Talon) to verify the capability of the proposed methods. Both algorithms achieved fast run time, approximately three times faster than Talon for complex environment, which made them practically efficient.

Abstract: Nowadays speech processing methods are usually implemented in the time or frequency domain. Filter bank can be considered as a divide and conquer approach within signal processing, since large problems are sub - divided into many smaller problems. While filter banks are essential components of speech processing, and in signal processing in general, they will have the focus in present days. An adaptive filter is a filter that self adjusts its transfer function according to its optimizing algorithms. Least mean square algorithm has slow convergence when used with nonstationary signals like speech and it has high computational cost but normalization of step size (or input signal) leads to a useful variant of the LMS algorithm known as the normalized LMS (NLMS) algorithm, which gives better convergence characteristics than the LMS because it uses a variable step - size with respect to the input signal power.To improve the convergence rate and/or computational complexity and also to overcome the disadvantage of a full band adaptive filtering, a structure is illustrated that is subband adaptive filtering; this will converge faster at a lower computational cost for speech and white noise inputs.This research shows most types of subband decomposition structures and makes comparison among them based on their performance to cancel the noise with minimum computational complexity, maximum convergence speed and maximum noise cancellation with lowest delay.Moreover three new hybrid tree configurations or the tree decom - position are proposed to maximize the overall performance of adaptive noisecancellation system.They are given the abbreviations HTPSAF1,HTPSAF2 and HTPSAF3. These three systems use polyphase filter bank that has showed a noticeable increase in the convergence speed and large reduction in the computational complexity due to the lower number of coefficients that can be achieved for the analysis/synthesis filters, which in turn will result in minimum delay in the reconstructed output speech signal.The algorithm of subband decomposition structures has been described theoretically then modeled under MATLAB simulation program using built - in filters and real input signals.
