Abstract: اتصالات الالياف البصرية هي العمود الفقري للبنية التحتية للاتصالات السلكية واللاسلكية التي تدعم شبكة الانترنت. النظام الاحادي الالياف المستخدم لنقل البينات لم يعد يلبي طلب الحصول على القدرة العالية والمتنامية بشكل مستمر. هناك العديد من الطرق الممكنة لزياد | Optical fiber communication system is considered as the backbone for the infrastructure of telecommunications that handles the internet. The exponentially growing capacity is no longer satisfied by using transmission of single mode fiber. There are several possible methods for increasing transmission capacity over fixed bandwidth. These include mix many signals with optical - carrier onto a one optical fiber by achieving various wavelengths, modulation employing different amplitude levels, and two orthogonal subcarriers and polarization. An extra dimension that a fiber can offer for achieving more information is space.This project demonstrates simulation systems for Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) transmission system using Few - Mode Fiber (FMF). Polarization division multiplexing (PDM) and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) techniques are also used in this system to increase total system data rate. For the ultra - high capacity need of SDM, Few Mode Fiber (FMF) was proposed as SDM best technology for obtaining ultra - high bit rate systems with long haul transmission. Inter - mode losses that appears in higher - order - modes was the most problem to be resolved. In this thesis, the description and design of three SDM systems were explored by using both QPSK and 16QAM modulation formats : single channel SDM system with PDM technique, 8 - DWDM channels over 7 modes SDM/PDM system, and 16 - DWDM channels over 10 modes SDM/PDM system proposed as future of ultra - high capacity optical system.By using 16QAM format and bit rate per channel of 40Gb/s, the maximum long reach of our designed single channel SDM/PDM system is 1020Km. A transmission reach of 760Km was achieved for 8 - WDM - 7modes - SDM/PDM system and 260 Km for 16DWDM - 10modes - SDM/PDM. At QPSK modulation format the maximum demonstrated reach was 1460 Km for single channel SDM/PDM system. A long - haul transmission of 1080 Km was recorded for 8 - WDM channels - 7modes - SDM/PDM system and 510 Km for 16 - DWDM channels - 10modes - SDM/PDM system.The total bit rate of single channel - 3modes SDM/PDM system was 240G/s at 40Gb/s bit rate per channel. The total bit rate was achieved by using 8 - DWDM channels - 7modes SDM/PDM system is 4.48 Tb/s at 40Gb/s. The highest bit rate was achieved by using 16DWDMchannels - 10modes SDM/PDM system so that the total achieved bit rate is nearly 12.8Tb/s.Chromatic Dispersion (CD) compensator using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) was proposed to compensate chromatic dispersion losses. Frequency and phase estimators were proposed in the designed systems to remove frequency offset and phase change by using Viterbi and Viterbi algorithms.Adaptive MIMO equalizer using constant modulus algorithms was proposed to compensate deferential group delay, polarization mode dispersion, and other losses simultaneously. Numerical results demonstrated that the methods are very effective in compensating the narrow band filtering and are very robust to channel estimation noise.The demonstrated systems were designed and tested by using (VPI transmission maker v.9.5) powerful software package.SDM techniques provided us with an important source to obtain more system flexibility, scalability, and capacity.

Abstract: استخدمت المضاعفات التناظرية على نطاق واسع في دوائر الاتصالات والشبكات العصبية ككاشفات للطور ومضاعفات للتردد ودوائر لمزج الاشارات والتضمين وفك التضمين. في التطبيقات التقليدية مثل دوائرالتضمين تعتبر ترددات التشغيل والسلوك الخطي للانظمة والمديات المسموح بها | Analog multipliers have been widely exploited in communication circuitries, phase detectors, neural networks, frequency multipliers, mixers, and modulation and demodulation circuits. In conventional applications, such as modulation circuits, the linearity, frequency of operation, and input voltage ranges are issues of great importance for multipliers. This work targeted these issues through the design of two types of four quadrant analog multipliers operating in wideband frequency ranges and having very high linearity with input and output voltage ranges of ±10V.The first wideband four - quadrant analog multiplier is designed using wideband squaring and operational amplifier (OPAMP) circuits. The wideband OPAMP is designed using 10 NMOS transistors based on 0.35 µm NMOS technology with supply voltages of ?12V. The wideband OPAMP has exhibited an open loop voltage gain of 3336545. The squaring circuit is built using two NMOS transistors and two wideband OPAMPs. The first wideband multiplier is built using two identical squaring circuits, two difference amplifiers, and one summing amplifier. It is characterized by high input - output linearity range of - 10 V to +10 V for both inputs, ±10 V input and output voltage ranges, and cutoff frequency of about 5 GHz. The second wideband four quadrant analog multiplier is designed using NPN bipolar junction transistors. It is built with two main circuits, which are the multiplier cell and the output circuit. The multiplier cell is built using a modified Gilbert multiplier, while the output circuit is a high gain circuit designed for changing the differential output of the multiplier cell to a single output having a voltage range of ±10 V. The multiplier circuit is designed with supply voltages of ?12 V. It is characterized by high input - output linearity range of - 10 V to +10 V for both inputs, ±10 V input and output voltage ranges, and cutoff frequency of about 1 GHz.Both multipliers are designed and tested on PSpice in ORCAD / Version 16.6.

Abstract: في هذا العمل, تم اقتراح خوارزميتين لتحسين اداء معيد الترميز التكراري التجميعي. الاول انجز باضافة رموز ارشاد بين سيل البيانات التي تدخل الى المرمز. في هذه الطريقة, رموزالارشاد ترمز مع البيانات المدخلة (رموز الارشاد المرمزه او الداخليه) مقارنة بالطريقة الاع | In this work, two algorithms were suggested in order to improve the performance of systematic RA decoding. The first one was accomplished by the insertion of pilot symbols between the data stream that entering the encoder. In this way the pilot symbols are encoded along with the input data (encoded or internal pilots) in contrast to the usual way where pilots are inserted after encoding (unencoded or external pilots). The positions where pilots should be inserted are chosen in such a way that to improve the minimum Hamming distance and/or to reduce the error coefficients of the code. Moreover, the known pilots have higher reliability than data and can significantly improve the initial decoding.The second proposed algorithm includes the utilization of the inserted pilots to estimate scaling (correction) factors. Two - dimensional (2D) correction system was suggested in order to enhance the performance of traditional Minimum - Sum (MS) decoding of regular RA codes. By calculating the mean square difference (MSD) between the values of received pilots and the a - posteriori data of bit and check node related to them, which are created by the MS decoder, an adaptive method can be achieved for getting the correction factors.Since encoded pilots in systematic RA code are embedded in data, it is possible to puncture all or part of them to increase the code rate. The pilots still have their effect on increasing the minimum Hamming distance.Extensive simulation tests reveal that the suggested quasi - optimal algorithms supply error performance be able to compare as Sum - Product (SP) decoding whilst maintain less complexity. Practical experiments are carried out by utilizing the capability of data acquisition toolbox supported by MATLAB to provide a hardware interface with the computer sound card. Here, the sound card plays the role of ADC and DAC converter in the physical layer. A different graphical user interfaces (GUI) are designed for the transmitting and receiving terminals to facilitate the selection of different code options. Signals are transmitted over wireless channel using a 2.4 GHz band indoor audio tranceiver. According to the aquired results, the modified coding system outperforms the original one when it is tested over AWGN and fading channels. An improvement may be realized about 1.5 dB and 1.3 dB at BER=?10?^( - 5) for punctured and unpunctured systematic (50,35,3,7) code with adaptive scaling, with three encoded pilots over AWGN channel and about 3.4 dB and 3.3 dB at BER=?10?^( - 4) for punctured and unpunctured systematic (50,35,3,7) code with constant scaling, with two encoded pilots over fading channel.

Abstract: Widespread wireless communications system in the last few years, leads people to ask many questions about the advantages and disadvantages of those systems, especially about electromagnetic waves pollution and their effect on human health.The mobile device is frequently used by the general public from adult to child, one of the main sources of electromagnetic waves and very close to the human head. Therefore the focus of this research on the impact of electromagnetic waves from mobile to human health by measuring the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), at the human head and the hand through SEMCAD - X that uses the Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD). SAR computation uses (FDTD) in the way the limited space of time, to calculate the specific absorption rate. The results have been compared with standards averaged over any 1 g of tissue and averaged over any 10 g of tissue. It didn't exceed the applicable standard.This work evaluates specific absorption rate (SAR) at different ages of three people. Firstly, old man, who was estimated to head 100% size of header used in the program SEMCAD - X. Secondly Adult man was estimated his head by 85% size of header used in program, and finally the child who was estimated his head by 65% size of header used in the program SEMCAD - X, the design hand has been used with all cases.The design of the mobile phone software works in four different packages of frequencies; the packets are the center frequencies 900MHz 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2400MHz, when increased frequency the SAR increased but in the some state and frequency decreasing.The Evaluation of SAR in the head and the hand of the user device and the generic phone, the highest value of SAR decreases with increasing distance between the generic phone and the user's head and reducing the proportion was 50% for the old man, 40% for adult man and 35% for child. It can be noted that the angle of the rotation of the various frequencies is not fixed, while the ratio approximately is 25% for each angle of rotation.Also, it can be noted that for fixed frequency, the input power is increased to a double and the SAR have been used increased almost to a double.The different positions show that the methods of holding generic phone have a significant impact on the value of SAR. Therefore, the value of SAR can be reduced into 90% when using the correct method.The evaluation of SAR in these cases shows their influence on children and it was much greater than the adult human or old human by parentage 40% old man and 35% adult man.

Several networks architecture are designed in the second stage using 1 - hidden and 2 - hidden layers with 5 and 28 output nodes in the output layer with different number of hidden nodes and learning rate.To examine the efficiency of the system a database of 196 letters collected from other 7 independent persons are used, (in order to test the ability of the trained network to generalize). The results show that clustering the input pattern, using 1 - hidden layer and 28 nodes in output layer improve the network performance. The system was implemented using (IBM - PC) of type Pentium 3.The programming language used to design the system was c++ version 5.02.

Abstract: In this thesis, a proposed control strategy is presented to improve the performance of the PWM boost type rectifier when operating under different supply voltage conditions (balanced, unbalanced, and distorted three - phase supply voltages). The proposed control strategy is classified into two parts, the first part is voltage controller and the second part is current controller. In the voltage controller, Repetitive Controller (RC) is used to reduce the even order harmonics in the regulated output dc voltage (5.62V (P.P.)) so small output capacitor (480µF) is used instead of large capacitor (920µF) that is used with the conventional controller (PI controller connected in series with a LPF). RC also reduces the even order harmonics (0.014A (P.P)) which appears in the reflected dc current (IMAX), this leads to reduce the odd order harmonics (0.01A) which appears in the input currents. While in the current controller, enhanced Phase Locked Loop (EPLL) technique is used to obtain sinusoidal and balanced three phases, to construct the reference currents, which are in phase with the fundamental supply voltages Therefore, the supply - side power factor is kept close to unity (0.9036 for extremely distorting case). As a result the calculations of the reference currents in the proposed control strategy does not require Clarke or Park transformations, the same for the calculations of the positive or negative sequence components. A proportional controller is used to give excellent tracking between the line and the reference currents. Using this approach makes the control strategy easy to understand and also it saves calculation time of the control algorithms if implements in real time. The complete system with the proposed control strategy is simulated using Matlab/Simulink (Version 2012). The obtained results for the complete system using repetitive voltage controller are compared to the results of the system with using the conventional voltage controller. The results with the repetitive controller show better responses and stable operation in the steady state under different input voltage conditions, as well as in the transient response under different disturbances.

Abstract: Solar energy systems based on photovoltaic (PV) cells have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their abilities of clear and seemingly limitless generated energy. Solar energy systems based on microinverter architectures are earning in publicity as they are less prone to shading and PV cell malfunction since each PV panel in the system has its own low power inverter.In this thesis two alternative modes of operation for the current source flyback microinverter are suggested : the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), where a constant switching frequency (CSF) control method is applied, and the boundary conduction mode (BCM) between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and DCM, where a variable switching frequency (VSF) control method is used. These two control methods are analytically studied and compared in order to establish their advantages as well as their suitability for the development of an inverter for grid - connected PV applications.An optimum design methodology is developed, aiming for an inverter with the smallest possible volume for the maximum power transfer to the public grid and wide PV energy exploitation. The main advantages of the current source flyback microinverter are very high power density and high efficiency due to its simple structure, as well as high power factorregulation. The design and control methodology are validated by Powersimulation software (PSIM) and a laboratory hardware prototype is buildusing analogue and digital devices.The microcontroller type (PIC - 18F45K22) is used to implement perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, and C language is used for programing the microcontroller. The simulation and experimental results are obtained to verify the proposed flyback microinverter.

Automatic target detection radar requires adaptive thresholding achieved by Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) circuit in order to control the false alarm caused by variations in clutter background.This work focus on worst radar environment that happens when abrupt variation in clutter background merged with multi - interfering target, to detect target in such environments it need robust CFAR algorithm that excise the target spikes and clutter edges from CFAR window in order to give best possible estimation to the noise background. two important algorithms studied which are CA - CFAR and OS - CFAR algorithms in additional to the modified CA - CFAR algorithm. All these algorithms were simulated with mat lab v6.1 and applied them to three different clutter models that represent different environment cases the CA - CFAR family failed to handle model two and three also OS - CFAR family except OSGO - CFAR that handle all models successfully. For modified CA - CFAR family only modified GO - CFAR handle all models successfully and comparing with OSGO - CFAR the modified GO - CFAR need less hardware and processing time because it did not need sorting process that is essential for OSGO - CFAR. Therefore, the modified GO - CFAR is chosen to implement by using FPGA and another important feature in modified GO - CFAR algorithm that is parallel processing since the spike selection process is done at the same time with summing of samples process that make this algorithm much less in processing time from any other algorithm that work in the same environment. The FPGA chip that used to implement modified GO - CFAR algorithm need only three signals from the radar receiver to mach with the receiver circuit correctly which are time base clock signal period reset trigger signal and the pulse duration time. Therefore, the FPGA chip can work effectively with almost any radar receiver system

Abstract: اصبحت محركات التيار المستمر عديمة الفرش شائعة جدا في الكثير من المجالات مثل في الصناعة والتطبيقات المنزلية؛ وذلك يعود الى مميزاتها العديدة على محركات التيار المستمر ذوات الفرش والمحركات الحثية؛ مثل كفائتها العالية, كثافة قدرتها العالية وحجمها الصغيرنسب | Brushless DC (BLDC) motors have become very popular in various fields such as in industry or home appliances; and that is due to their many advantages over the brushed DC motors and the induction motors such as their higher efficiency, high power density and respectively low volume. The traditional and most popular way to drive BLDC motor is by using six - step or trapezoidal technique. This technique however has several problems such as high torque ripple and high distortion in the currents. This thesis presents a BLDC motor drive system where the performance of the motor is improved on various aspects. The first aspect is to improve the speed response by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to find the optimal parameters of the speed controller. The second aspect is to reduce the torque ripple associated with the traditional driving technique and also improve the dynamic response of the motor by using vector or field - oriented control to drive the motor. The third aspect is improving the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the voltages and currents by using multilevel inverter. The last aspect is driving the motor in sensorless operation for reduced cost and for applications where speed and position sensors cannot be used; this operation uses a flux - linkage observer with a phase - locked loop (PLL) structure to estimate the position and speed of the rotor. The control methods are modeled using MATLAB/Simulink program and the results show that the proposed systems has significant improvement in performance as compared with the traditional technique in terms of speed response, torque ripple and THD of the voltages and currents

ZnO has high breakdown electrical field, also has a much larger saturation velocity. In this work three ultraviolet Metal Semiconductor Metal (MSM) photodetectors were fabricated, based on ZnO and Silver (Ag) doped Zinc Oxide (SZO) with (2% and 4 % doping ratios) thin films. The technique used to prepare the thin films was sol - gel and spin coating technique by using Si (100) p - type. Silver interdigitated (IDT) electrodes were deposited on the films by a vacuum coating deposition technique to form the three devices.The electrical properties for the fabricated photodetectors (PDs) were studied using Semiconductor Characterization System (SCS) at room temperature ( 27 C^o). The applied voltage was in the range of ( - 5 to 5) V.The SEM images showed a non - uniform distribution of the Ag dopants, these dopants formed clusters and these clusters increased as the amount of Ag dopants increased. The mobility, carrier concentration, and roughness for the SZO films increased when compared to undoped film. The optical bandgap and the transmittance are decreased when the doping ratio is increased. The saturation current (I - S) was decreased by a factor of 4, and 12 for the devices based on Ag doped ZnO (with 2% and 4 % doping ratios) thin films, respectively. The sensitivity was significantly increased with increasing the doping ratio. This enhancement attributed to the roughness of the Ag dopants (clusters). The detectivity was increased for the devices based on SZO films. The high detectivity with low saturation current made the devices based on SZO films suitable for optoelectronic applications and integrated circuits. From the experimental data and analysis, it was found that the PD with ZnO : Ag 4 % doping ratio has higher responsivity and gain of 0.523 A/W and 257 , respectively. This is confirmed by thin film and device characterization which makes this PD suitable for UV detection purposes.

Abstract: The analysis of a silicon p - i - n photodiode with a uniform doping concentration in each layer is presented. The theoretical treatment aims at investigating the device operation and performance to obtain optimum values of photodiode parameters when operates as a photodetector.Large bandwidth, good responsivity, device speed and quantum efficiency at wavelength of interest, combined with its low operating voltage and capability, make this diode promising for optoelectronic receiver circuits for use in optical communication systems and computer interconnections.High speed silicon p - i - n photodiode which operate at 700 nm wavelength is reported. By using a reverse bias voltage to control electric field, a high quantum efficiency of 80% is attained corresponding to bandwidth of 6.5 GHz at depletion width of 5.36 ?m and biasing voltage of 27.5 V. The minimum detectable incident light signal power is 3.9 ?W corresponding to signal to noise ratio of 6.5*104. The results show that, there is trade - off between quantum efficiency and bandwidth. Since the intrinsic layer of a p - i - n photodiode can be made with a lightly doping concentration, a p - ? - n photodiode is also treated mathematically with a software tool, and the results obtained are very close to those for a p - i - n photodiode. The results are achieved with the aid of MATLAB programming tool version 8.1.0.604 (R2013a).

Abstract: This Thesis proposes on a project whose aim is to implement architectures for CFAR processor employed in radars. These proposed architectures are implemented by using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technique, with observance of feature desired as flexibility and speed without performance loss. This design written in VHDL Hardware Description Language that can be used to accelerate the implementation. In this thesis, the proposed by design is implemented using MATLAB Simulink on the Trimmed - mean Constant False Alarm Rate Processor(TM CFAR) to obtain system parameters and to test the flow of signal through the system, and then used FPGA devices. FPGA architecture of TM - CFAR processor is implemented to overcome the large processing time required in case of multi - target environment. The use of this technology is suitable because it offers high flexibility in modifying and even developing the required design with a reduction in the required number of hardware and cost. In addition to the main features of the processing chain architectures such as degree of parallelism, small size, accuracy and high computational speed, there is a requirement for generality and adaptively i.e. the ability to handle many different models of operation in different environments.

Abstract: In the last decades, the pattern recognition and classification are taking an important area of the research. One of the main applications of pattern recognition is the radar target recognition which is vital in radar system.In this this work, a radar signal were used and analyzed for three targets present a contribution is this trend (aircrafts SR - 71, C - 130 and AH - 64), and used as initial data, then variations are made to simulate the target signal variation (50 range profile for each target).A wavelet transform (multi resolution decomposition) is used to reduce the dimensions of radar range profile and then leads to reduce storage and computation.The wavelet transform including two procedures, the first one using approximation and details coefficients as feature extraction, while second procedure use related with the details coefficient only.Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used as recognizer. The Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) and Elman Recurrent Neural Network (ERNN) are used. The network was trained using Supervised Learning Algorithms. The FFNN was trained by (Levenberg - Marquardt (lm), Bayesian regulation (br), particle swarm optimization). The (ERNN) was trained by (lm, br).The best recognition rate of three targets is obtained by using the feature extraction from (normalized details wavelet coefficient) and the ERNN trained by (br). The recognition rate in this procedure is about 96% compare with other methods.When adding the AWGN S/N=5db, the recognition rate reducing to 85%.

Abstract: Face recognition plays an important role in many applications like security, banking, access to buildings, and surveillance …. etc.Because of the face image can significantly change due to changing in some factors, such as lighting conditions, facial expression, and others factors, therefore face recognition is still a challenging mission. Useful properties of the Contourlet Transform (CT) are exploited in this thesis to investigate more discriminant features to enhance the face identification performance. In this thesis, a face identification system is suggested based on CT, and Multi - Layer Neural Network (MLNN) Classifier. The main reasons behind using the CT are : First, the CT supports progressive data compression/expansion, hence it is used for image compression. Second, the features in human face are not just horizontal or vertical. CT is utilized for feature extraction because it is a genuine 2D transform that can capture the edge information in all directions. After decomposing an image by CT, low and high frequency coefficients of CT are calculated in different scales and various angles. Most significant information of faces is contained in coefficients, which is important for face identification. The frequency coefficients are utilized as an input feature vector for a neural network classifier. Simple feed forward MLNN neural network is used to achieve the identification process. The network parameters are tuned to optimal values, in order to produce fair comparison between different types of feature vectors. To evaluate the algorithm performance, seven standard databases, and a proposed database are used. Some of them are of high variability, to examine the algorithm robustness against variability. In addition, the proposed algorithm is also evaluated using a generated database composed from five databases. Then the suggested method is compared with other classical feature - based methods such as, wavelet, Principle Component Analysis (PCA), and CT - PCA. The results indicate that the CT - based method has better identification (ID) rate, and is faster than the Wavelet - based and the PCA - based methods. This is due to the high sparsity of the CT and its efficient capability of compression. The ID rates obtained for a tested databases are Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) database (100%), face 94 database (99.34%), proposed database (98.55%), ORL database (96.5%), Senthil database (92%), Yale database (90%), FERET database (76.2 %), and FEI database (72.57 %), and comparing with other systems, an average identification rate 90.64% for the CT, 85.71% for the Wavelet, 53.92% for the CT - PCA, and 46.7% for the PCA for all tested databases.Moreover, the characteristics of low and high frequency sub bands a are studied with their effect on ID rates. The simulation results indicate that the best identification rates are obtained when using only the low frequency sub - band for all tested databases

Abstract: ظهر في السنوات الاخيرة اهتمام ملحوظ في استخدام متحسسات تركيز الهيدروجين (الرقم الهيدروجيني) من نوع ترانزستور تاثير المجال (FET) في التطبيقات الطبية الحيوية مثل دم الانسان, اليوريا واللعاب لان عملية تصنيع متحسسات تركيز الهيدروجين تتجه نحو التكلفة المنخفضة | In recent years, there is noteworthy interest in using pH - sensors based on Field Effect Transistor (FET) in biomedical applications such as human blood, urine, and saliva because the fabrication of pH - sensors is tending toward low cost, small size, disposable, and real - time measurement. In this work, Extended Gate Field - Effect Transistor (EGFET) pHsensors were built using thin films of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) doped with Palladium (Pd) as sensing membranes. The Pd - doped ZnO thin films with different molar concentrations (Pd = 0%, 2% and 4%) were deposited onto p - type Si(111) substrate by sol - gel method. The surface morphology of the prepared films was imaged and studied by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The crystal structure of the fabricated films was examined by X - Ray Diffraction (XRD) test. The optical and electrical characteristics of the films were measured using spectrophotometer and Hall - Effect measurement device, respectively.The EGFET pH - sensor has been prepared by linking the fabricated sensing devices to the gate terminal of a commercial Metal - Oxide - Semiconductor Field - Effect Transistor (MOSFET CD4007UB).The fabricated sensing devices were immersed in buffer solutions with pH range of (pH 3 ? pH 11). The pH sensing characteristics of ZnO and Pd - ZnO/silicon EGFET devices were studied using Semiconductor Characterization System (SCS - Keithley 4200).The ZnO EGFET sensor exhibits voltage sensitivity and linearity of 31.5 mV/pH and 0.9809 (or 98.1%) in linear regime with pH range of (pH 3 - pH 11). The voltage sensitivity and linearity of Pd - doped ZnO (with 4% molar concentration of Pd) EGFET device in the linear regime with pH range of (pH 5 - pH 11) are 27.86 mV/pH and 0.9785 (or 97.85%), respectively. The experimental results show that the Pd - doped sensing films by sol - gel method cannot be adopted for whole pH range. This means that the doped films have fewer amounts of H+ ions sensing sites at its surface than undoped ZnO fims.

Abstract: Various types of binary phase - coded signals are studied in terms of their correlation properties. Then, matched filtering technique as well as mismatched filtering techniques is applied to the codes studied previously in order to reduce the sidelobes of the compressed binary phase - coded signal around the mainlobe, and consequently increase the detection of the received signal. Each filtering technique is performed using programs written by the programming language of MATLAB version 7.4.0.287 (R2007a). White Gaussian noise is introduced in the assessment made to both the filtering techniques and the codes that are adopted in this thesis.The MATLAB programs are tested on various types of binary phase codes that are adopted in this thesis to calculate the criteria to choose the best filtering technique. These criteria are peak sidelobe level, the integrated sidelobe level, and the signal - to - noise ratio loss. Later, the results, which are obtained according to these mentioned criteria, are used to test different filtering techniques on the chosen periodical and aperiodical binary phase codes to choose the best one.It is found that, the optimal peak sidelobe level (PSL) filtering technique is the best filtering technique for the aperiodical binary phase codes in terms of the peak sidelobe level, and in terms of an acceptable signal - to - noise ratio loss. The optimal integrated sidelobe level (ISL) filtering technique comes in the second place.While, it is found that, the mismatched filtering technique is the best filtering technique for the periodical binary phase codes in terms of an acceptable signal - to - noise ratio loss.

This antenna gives dual bandwidth 2.73 - 7.5 GHz and 8.7 - 20 GHz. This antenna is modified by changing the patch from regular to irregular pentagonal patch with the same area and fixe the other parameter of the antenna. Therefore, the antenna is improved in term of bandwidth and gain, which gives bandwidth of 2.74 - 20 GHz. Many slots with the different shape and size are added to the irregular pentagonal patch to modify this antenna, which makes this antenna have bandwidth of 2.6 - 20 GHz which is suitable for the application that operating in this band.

In addition, switched - capacitor DC - DC converters are superior to inductor - based converters for high - conversion ratio and wide range of load variation. In this thesis , a multistage current - controlled switched - capacitor step - down DC - DC converter is analyzed , designed and simulated. The converter features are of good regulation capability and continuous input current waveform when two step - down converter cells are connected in parallel and operate in antiphase. Classical SC converter with pulse width modulation technique is also analyzed, designed , simulated. For the PWM converter and current - controlled converter , third - order state - space averaging technique is used for analysis. A fuzzy logic controller is used with the current - controlled converter to obtain fast dynamic response, low ripple in the output voltage and robustness against load and supply variations. A 70W ,48/12V and 12.5W 48/5V converters are designed and simulated ( Matlab/Simulink is used for simulation). The simulation results are obtained and compared for the above converters with different control techniques (PWM ,current control with PI controller and current control with fuzzy controller). The results for current - controlled converters with fuzzy controller show higher efficiency , lower ripples in the output voltage ,fast transient response, good disturbance rejection and very small steady state error of output voltage. In this thesis the value of the output ripple must less than 0.05 V and the efficiency should be more than 75 % for current control mode

Abstract: في السنوات السابقة، زادت اهمية تحسين النظام الكهربائي. وان ثبوت التردد هو واحدة من الاشياء التي اثرت في خصائص النظام الكهربائي هي ثبوتية التردد. ولهذه الغاية، وحدة التوليد ملحقة بمسيطر اوتوماتيكي على التردد اثناء تغيير الحمل (LFC) لتنظيم القدرة الفعالة | In recent years, the importance of improving electrical power has been increased. One of the things influenced the characteristic of electrical power is the constancy of frequency. To this end, the generator unit is equipped with an automatic load frequency control (LFC) to adjust the active power produced and restore the frequency and tie line power exchange to their nominal value.The total model of a hybrid power system has a high dimension. The classical design tools are inadequate to cope with all dynamic features. Artificial intelligence techniques are found to be a promising tool to optimally minimize the transient dynamics and control efforts in a load frequency control. This thesis shows the execution of various Artificial Intelligence techniques on the tuning of PID controller in a load frequency control system to compute the PID controller. The techniques of genetic algorithm technique GA, particle swarm optimization PSO and artificial bee colony ABC were applied on four areas, six tie lines power system. The dynamic model was formulated in state variables form. A comparison between these techniques with different performance indices was presented. Results of the test system 1 and 2 were computed and compared. They showed that in test system 2 the load frequency controller can chase the load fluctuation in a short time. The IAE performance index gives an optimum dynamic performance using ABC. From the outcomes, they show that the test system 2 outputs regarding settling time and maximum overshoot were the best performances.

Abstract: Stereo vision system is a technique for finding depth data for digital images.The stereo vision system is used to obtain a 3D data from 2D scene taken by two optical cameras (left and right cameras); the taken images can be used to find the distance of the objects. A number of algorithms for stereo vision system have been developed and the matching algorithms. This work focuses on the traditional algorithms used the Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC), Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) and the modified version of SAD algorithm. This method is called the Canny Block Matching Algorithm (CBMA) which can find the disparity map. The proposed algorithm contains two parts; the Canny edge detector and Block matching technique with SAD to determine the disparity map and reduce the execution time, the execution time of the CBMA is between (0.35 - 0.43secs) and neglected the effect of the windows size results in the CBMA algorithm. The interpolation method is used which consists of median filter and interpolation techniques (i.e., the most common techniques : bilinear, 1st order and 2nd order polynomial) to enhance the output results images.The error percentage has been reduced about 2% for the disparity map of the CBMA algorithm after used the bilinear interpolation method with block size [3x3] and the execution time is reduced by the step size windows. MATLAB program has been adopted to write the proposed algorithms codes. While, the interpolation techniques has been implemented using in Microsoft Visual Basic (6.0). The camera calibration and image rectification is used to find camera parameters and to simplify the correspondences search. The system was implemented using two identical cameras with baseline (16cm) to detect the distance objects.

Abstract: There has been a quick development in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) field that promises to revolutionize the way people lives. Where they have a wide range of applications especially in the monitoring applications like power consumption, military, and healthcare. This thesis has three objectives. First, to design and implement a prototype of WSN for monitoring power (as well as temperature) in buildings. Second, to investigate the bounds of coverage in different building construction materials. Third, to evaluate the amount of improvement introduced to the ZigBee transceiver when channel - coding methods are used.The basic design elements of the implemented power and temperature monitoring system includes current sensors, temperature sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless transceivers implemented using Global System for Mobile Communications/General Packet Radio Service (GSM/GPRS) platform and ZigBee technology. The use of GSM/GPRS platform allows the user to control or gather information about the system from anywhere just by sending a request using Short Message Service (SMS). In addition, the measured data can be visualized through a user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Many measurements have been done to find the exact limitation of the designed system in terms of coverage and signal strength in the presence of objects of different materials including; cardboard, metal, concrete bricks, wood and corkboard. Furthermore, the MATLAB Simulink model of the proposed ZigBee transceiver uses Convolutional Coding (CC) at different code rates to improve the performance in AWGN channel, Rayleigh and Rician multipath fading channels.The results indicated that the use of ZigBee based WSN in electric power monitoring provides flexibility and helps in reducing power consumption. In addition, the experimental results show that the construction materials of buildings have varying impact on the network performance. At 4m distancebetween the base station and the sensing node, the losses in signal strength are 15, 20, 21 and 32 dBm when using metal as compared with cardboard, corkboard, wood and concrete bricks respectively.It is observed from the simulation results that using convolutional coding in ZigBee transceiver gives better performance than the traditional ZigBee transceivers and that the convolutional code of code rate 1/8 gives the best performance compared to other CC. In AWGN channel and at BER of 10 - 4, the maximum performance improvements in terms of BER obtained over traditional system are 14dB and 13.5dB for OQPSK and BPSK (868 - 900MHz) based ZigBee respectively. While these improvements are 23.5dB, 40.5dB and 19.5dB, 12.5dB in Rayleigh & Rician channels at the same BER respectively.

The charger is the most important part of the solar system because the only limited - age part of this system is the storage batteries. Storage batteries are essential in all standalone PV power systems. Their efficiency and life time affects significantly the overall PV system performance and economics. The storage battery's effectiveness depends on the charging process. Hence, this thesis deals with the study, simulation and design of an intelligent charger fed by solar system due to the latest technologies.The developed charging method entitled "the decreased charging current based on state of charge" is adopted in this thesis to charge a lead - acid battery. The principle of decreased charging current is to make the real charging current as close as possible to the maximum acceptable current. The advantage of this technique is to mix between the rapidity of charging and prevents of the overcharging and generates gases.The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is adopted to maximize the PV output power, whatever of the temperature and irradiation conditions. The design considers different operating conditions of load, battery state of charge (SOC) and ambient effect in order to achieve the best charging condition of the batteries and to be compatible with the user requirements. The flexible, simple and cheap design is the objective of this charger.This PV charging system is composed of a solar panel, lead - acid batteries, buck converter as power charging circuit and a microcontroller as a control unit.The simulation results are achieved by using Simulink Proteus Isis Professional software. These results demonstrated the validity of the proposed charging technique. The battery charger prototype was tested and the obtained results agree with those obtained from the simulation

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is MUI free, and it does not enable the available channel diversity without employing error control coding. But coded OFDMA may achieve lower diversity than a CDMA system employing the same error control codes. In this work, the advantages of OFDMA and CDMA are merged to minimize MUI effects, and also to make the maximum available diversity for every user possible, this system is called group orthogonal multicarrier CDMA (GO - MC - CDMA).In group orthogonal multicarrier CDMA (GO - MC - CDMA) scheme, groups of users share a set of subcarriers. By carefully choosing group subcarriers, there is aguarantees that every user transmits with maximum diversity. MUI is only present among users of the same group, and is suppressed via multiuser detection, which becomes practically feasible by assigning a small number of users per group. The performance of GO - MC - CDMA system is analyzed with 3M bits/sec in two paths frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. Moreover, simulations are carried out to illustrate the performance of GO - MC - CDMA with number of active users, number of subcarriers, space diversity combining technique, types of spreading code, type of data detection techniques, finally, the effect of near - far problem.

Abstract: In DS - CDMA systems, the use of orthogonal spreading codes with low cross - correlation values is needed to suppress the effect of multiple access interference (MAI) which increases as the number of active users in system is increased.Currently, the conventional PN sequences, such as (Gold codes, Kasami codes …etc.), generated by linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) and orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) were used as spreading codes in DS - CDMA system. Using these sequences, it is not possible to increase the number of active users in the system due to the fact that the possible sequences generated in conventional PN - system are limited in number and offer mutual interference as the number of active users is increased due to its non - zero cross - correlation values. The chaotic system can be used to generate very large number of quasi - orthogonal sequences compared with the number of PN sequences due to its sensitivity to initial conditions. Another type of chaotic sequences with zero values of cross - correlation called Orthogonal Chaotic Vectors (OCVs) is generated using chaotic systems and the basic idea of Gram - Schmidt ortho - normalization process.In this work, the use of OCVs in synchronous DS - CDMA system for transmission of data over (AWGN, Flat fading and Frequency selective channels) is introduced. The simulation results show that the DS - CDMA based on OCVs gives better BER performance when spread factor ? is greater than the number of active users due to the reduction of MAI between active users.Results show also that, at BER = - in AWGN channel and for 5 users, there are gain of (0.3, 1.2, 1.75 and 3.75) dB between system based on OCVs and systems based on small set Kasami sequence, Gold codes, large set of Kasami sequence and Non - OCVs respectively. Under the effect of flat fading channel, it can be noted that at BER = - and for 30 user, there is 1.7 dB gain between system based on OCVs and system based on small set of Kasami sequences, and this gain increases to 2 dB for 50 user.Under time invariant frequency selective fading channel and for 8 users at BER= - there is about 6dB gain between the system based on OCVs and system based on Non - OCVs.

Abstract: During the last decades the development in digital image acquisition, capturing, processing and displaying devices is one of the fastest growing fields. Most of these devices introduce some amount of geometric lens deformation and cause uncorrected dimensions in displaying the objects, such as cameras, scanners, lenses, and mirrors.This work introduces a general algorithm use to correct the images deformed by a fixed and known properties sources. A simple prototype system consists of convex mirror and digital camera has been constructed to capture the required reflected scene. The proposed algorithm considers three main processes; correction, filtering, and edge enhancement. The idea of the proposed correction method is based on selecting an original image, capturing its reflected view from the convex mirror, and then obtaining the deformed ratios for each row and column between the captured image and the original image. These ratios represent the raw components to what referred here as the deformation - map. This map is considered as a general pattern for the proposed prototype system, to be used later in correcting the deformed images.The correction process depends mainly on stretching - padding - cropping. In the first operation, each row and column is stretched to a length depends on the corresponding compression ratio's element in the deformation - map. The second operation modifies the size of the image by adding pad array to the end sides, while the third operation crops the image to the required size.The Filtering, and edge enhancement processes are based on using fuzzy median filter to deblur and smooth the corrected images, while fuzzy edge detection is used to enhance the edges of corrected images.The deformation - map has been examined on correcting several deformed images. The results show high capability of considering this map as a general correction model for the images captured by the proposed system.

Abstract: The most important type of MIMO is the Spatial Multiplexing (SM) which is used to increase the data rate depending on the number of transmitted and received antennas. The main challenge of SM is high Bit Error Rate (BER) at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), which leads to increase the power expended, and this not match the modern requirements of communication system.In this thesis, the performance of MIMO system for Space Time Block Code (STBC) and SM has been investigated. As expected the STBC increase the reliability of data rate while SM increase the data rate with significant BER. Three types of detection have been experimented with SM; Maximum Likelihood (ML), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and Zero Forcing (ZF). The results show that ML is outperform each MMSE and ZF, but as it is known the complexity of ML increase exponentially with number of antennas and modulation order. ZF is simple one, but it has poor performance.The proposed system is to add channel code serially with SM and maintain the low complexity. The experiments are begun with Convolution Code (CC) to support SM performance. The results show that significant improvement is achieved using this code with ZF detection, it can be getting more than 10 dB of SNR as code gain. But the payment is the redundancy information which can be reduced by using puncturing technique. Also the complexity of Viterbi decoder grows exponentially with large constraint length. The second code is a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code which is proposed with suitable parameters to reduce the required iterations in order to achieve real time application for such system. The results confirm that the proposedscheme is outperform the CC by 3 dB of SNR in addition to acceptable complexity and less number of iterations

Doppler effect on the ambiguity and the correlation functions of these codes is studied. The effect of phase error and weighting are presented.The study related to Doppler effect covers the frequency, binary and polyphase codes in terms of the peak signal to sidelobes ratio (PSR).Linear FM, nonlinear FM, binary and polyphase codes with various windows, are dealt with respect to the sidelobes response. The simulator built using Matlab version 6. The simulation consists of a code generator; modulator; white noise adder; received signal with time and frequency shifted; matching filtering; a module to find the Doppler effect on the autocorrealtion function and a module to find the peak signal to sidelobes ratio (PSR). It is found that the m - sequences are the best binary codes in terms of PSR and the P4 code is the best Polyphase code in terms of PSR. Also, it is found that the P4 code provides better Doppler tolerant than the other codes. The m - sequences are very sensitive to Doppler shifts.

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.

Abstract: This thesis investigates the performance of some windows on the flow signals that are generated from the planar capacitance spatial filter (PCSF) according to the moving of the solid particle in the channel of the filter. The sensor that operates as non - invasive device for solid flow measurement utilizes the thin wall of a dielectric pipe section as a shielding layer to protect the sensor from erosion, rust and moisture, and to make it more versatile.The finite - difference model equations are solved using successive over relaxation (SOR) methods. The waveforms show that the response of the PCSF is spatially - biased towards particle flowing closer to the plane of sensing electrodes and that the resulting flow signal is non - sinusoidal. The SOR method that is used to compute the PCSF potential fields has been investigated using a mesh of 110 by 32 nodes, and the algorithm was programmed in MATLAB (Release 2013a) using an Intel core ™ i3 PC,CPU processor.To study the effect of the total harmonic distortion (THD) content on the flow signals that are calculated with respect to the fundamental frequency of the power spectrum density through a specific quantitative criterion, this work comprises a comparative study among three types of windows; Hanning, Hamming, and a subOptimal window called the Kaiser window.The effect of particle flying heights, relative permittivity and size on the THD of the flow signal were examined. It was found that theTHD of flow signals at heights closer to the plane of sensing electrodes is high and decreasing gradualy when the particle flying height is far above the sensor. All the three windows used in this work have better suppression of harmonics distortion as compared with unwindowed (raw) flow signal.

Abstract: The thesis considers a three - phase four - leg inverter, which is used to supply unequal loads without using a transformer. In the literatures, a three - dimensional modulation technique, requiring complex mathematical algorithms were proposed for this kind of inverter. In this research a different approaches are discussed through two kinds of controller; first type is based on the separation control method of the fourth - leg of the inverter from the other phases for one type for modulation. This research applied to the three - phase inverter of the traditional SVM techniques avoiding the employment of complex procedures. The voltage modulation method based on a triangular carrier waveform for the three - phase four - leg voltage source converter. The four - leg converter can produce three - phase output voltages independently from the additional forth - leg. The proposed modulation method for the four - leg inverter is implemented with a single carrier by a simple useful “offset voltage” concept. The second type is equivalent to the so - called three - dimensional space vector PWM method, but its implementation is much easier. The simultaneously synthesized equations of the maximum magnitude of unbalanced three - phase voltage.The feasibility of the proposed modulation technique types verified by computer simulation and experimental results. These results show that both types of “Carrier - Based Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique” and “Three Dimensional Space Vector Modulation Technique” are easier implemented than conventional type by using microcontroller component (PIC16F874A/877A) instead of digital components (DSP & FPGA). So this thesis offers a prototype for this circuit with low cost and low harmonics, but with more complex control circuit.

Abstract: While the aircraft flying above the earth surface, the signal transmitted from the satellite to the aircraft suffered from changes in it's characteristics at the aircraft receiver's antenna according to many factors affecting the direct and reflected power from the earth surface such as the distance difference, the nature of the earth surface, elevation angle, Doppler shift, etc… This Thesis introduces a proposed algorithm to analyze and simulate the communication link between the Satellite and the aircraft taking into account all the parameters that affect the magnitude of the power and signal characteristics received at the aircraft antenna. The proposed method uses the ray - tracing technique in this simulation to analyze the communication link between the Satellite and aircraft. The simulation developed in this thesis has minimized the error percentage as much as possible taking into account most of the factors that might affect the characteristics of the signal received by the aircraft from the satellite. This simulation considers the free space loss, specular reflection losses, scattering factor, earth curvature effect, etc…,also the simulation takes into account the Doppler effect that caused by the aircraft movements. The simulation measures the received signal strength and fading characteristics of satellite to aircraft communication to determine the effectiveness of communication and to establish parameters which can be useful to the communication system designer in Iraq and the rest of the world. MATLAB® v6.5 used in the simulation as application software, the simulation also applied to MATLAB® v7.0.

Abstract: Multiple - input multiple - output (MIMO) wireless communication systems have received significant attention due to their enormous channel capacity potential in rich scattering environment. Such systems need to consider multiuser transmission / reception in their design. This thesis investigates theoretically the ergodic capacity of multiuser MIMO systems operating with adaptive techniques to enhance their performance. The ergodic capacity of multiuser MIMO system is analyzed and simulated for three types of channels : additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, uncorrelated Rayleigh fading (URF) channel, and semicorrelated Rayleigh fading (SRF) channel. The downlink SRF channel for each user is modeled by assuming that the fading is correlated at the transmitter but uncorrelated at the receiver side. The simulation results are compared to those related to a single - user system and used as a guideline to present an adaptivetechnique to enhance the capacity of MIMO system operating in SRF channel. The adaptive technique is based on a tradeoff between time division multiple access (TDMA) and block diagonalization (BD).Simulation results are presented using MATLAB environment to address the dependence of ergodic capacity of a MIMO communication on various system and channel parameters. The results indicate clearly that the threshold level of angle between users ? employed in the adaptive system must be chosen carefully to maximize the ergodic capacity. The optimum threshold ?th is equal to 24°, 42° and 47°, for angle spread ? = 5°, 50° and 75°, respectively

Abstract: GPP3 التطور على المدى الطويل (LTE) هو تقنية الجيل الرابع اللاسلكية ذات النطاق العريض. هدفه الرئيسي هو تعزيز الكفاءة الطيفية باستخدام تقنيات التضمين الترددي المتعامد بالتقسيم (OFDM). ومع ذلك، ياتي هذا التحسن في الاداء بزيادة التعقيد الحسابي في اجهزة الاستق | 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the fourth generation mobile wireless broadband technology. Its key objective is to enhanced spectral efficiency by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) techniques. However, this performance improvement comes at the cost of increased computational complexity in the receiver. The goal of this work is to introduce a detection method that gives a better performance with reasonable computational complexity for LTE mobile communication system. An approximated linear baseband model for the two modulation techniques used by the LTE system (which is the Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and sixteen - level Amplitude Modulation (16 - QAM)) have been derived. Three receivers have been simulated and tested. The three receivers use Least Square (LS) channel estimator. These receivers uses channel compensator, decision feedback equalizer and perturbation algorithm. The LTE communication system has been simulated using MATLAB®7 programming language. The results of the computer simulation show that the perturbation algorithm gives an enhancement in the receiver performance of about 2 dB in different mobile channels than decision feedback equalizer and about 5 dB than channel compensator at the 10 - 3 of BER.

Abstract: تعدد الارسال للتردد بالتقسيم المتعامد (OFDM) هو مفتاح تمكين التكنولوجيا لمعظم انظمة الاتصالات اللاسلكية الحالية ذات معدل نقل البيانات العالي. والميزة الرئيسية للـ (OFDM) مقارنة بالطرق التقليدية هو انه يحول القناة ذات النطاق العريض الى قنوات فرعية ضيقة متو | Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the key enabling technology for most current high data - rate wireless communication systems. The primary advantage of OFDM over conventional schemes is that it converts a wideband channel into parallel narrowband sub - channels allowing relatively simple channel estimation and frequency domain equalization. It is as an effective technique for coping with channel impairments like multipath propagation and Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) by making use of an appropriate cyclic prefix. One of the major drawbacks of OFDM is that it is more sensitive to synchronization errors than its single carrier counterparts. This thesis describes a real - time implementation of a timing and frequency synchronization for OFDM system using MATLAB software Simulink, DSP processor TMS320C6713 and Code Composer Studio (CCS). The hardware interface converts the baseband signal from the PC to the DSP Processor. Basic transmission and reception performances are evaluated in real time using Real Time data Transfer (RTDX). The practical results and performance evaluation of the synchronization algorithms in OFDM system is presented and discussed. The results are plotted for different offsets of CFO and STO with different values of signal to noise ratio. Also the bit error rate (BER) and the mean square error (MSE) of the system is analyzed. The results show that the time offset more effect than frequency offset because of ISI and ICI occurs when time offset occur in the system. The synchronization algorithm is found to be robust for both CFO and STO simultaneously. It can handle offset of about CFO = 500 Hz and STO = 14 samples simultaneously without wasting extra bandwidth. This algorithm used for synchronization more robust for 16QAM compared with 4QAM modulation.

Abstract: تعتبر الخلايا الشمسية تكنولوجيا واعدة وقابلة للتجديد حيث ازداد الطلب عليها نتيجة لزيادة الاهتمام بالطاقة الكهروضوئية. ان التحسين المستمر لكفاءة الخلايا الشمسية بايجاد التقنيات والمفاهيم الجديدة يجب ان يمتد على نحو متزايد باعتبارها واحدة من اهم مصادر الط | The demand for solar cells has been growing rapidly with an increasing social interest in photovoltaic energy. The improvement of energy conversion efficiency of solar cells is performed by developing the technology and concepts that have been increasingly extended as one of the key components in our future global energy supplement. But, the main problem of photovoltaic modules are their rather high production and energy cost. Three generations of solar cell technologies have been established in the previous century.Nanostructured silicon substrates based on p - type crystalline Silicon (c - Si) have been prepared in this work. Electrochemical Etching (ECE) of the Silicon (Si) wafers in Hydrofluoric (HF) acid was employed to synthesize porous layers consisting of silicon nanostructures. The process was carried out at different etching time and different current densities which are considered as effective parameters in ECE process. It is found that a homogeneous porous layer could be obtained with porosity value of (87%) when the current density is (60 mA/ cm2) and the etching time of (10 min). Among the Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) materials available, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) films show promising electrical and optical properties in combination with low cost alternatives. It can function as Anti - Reflecting Coating (ARC), window material, transparent electrode and active layer in heterojunction solar cells. n - type ZnO thin films are grown on p - type nanostructured silicon substrates by using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique with Q - switching Nd : YAG laser beam Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) [?=(532 nm), number of pulses (140) pulses, and laser energy (820 mJ)], vacuum of (10 - 3 Torr), ambient oxygen pressure of (10 - 1 Torr), and substrate temperature of (400 °C). The morphological, optical, chemical and structural properties were investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Ultraviolet - Visible (UV - VIS) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X?Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques, respectively.Surface morphology and optical properties results show densely packed highly crystalline growth of ZnO thin film on nanostructured silicon substrate grown at optimum condition with an average grain size around (88.57 nm). The average roughness, root mean square, and ten - point height estimated from AFM quantitative analysis, are found to be (3.02 nm), (3.62 nm), and (8.76nm) respectively. The thickness is calculated and found to be (100 nm). The film shows high transparency (above 80%) and the estimated Energy - gap (Eg) is found to be about (3.4 eV). This is important for its applications as transparent conductive films and solar cell windows. The chemical and structural properties results characterize ZnO at (420 cm - 1) and (766 cm - 1) absorption bands respectively and the thin film is polycrystalline with hexagonal Wurtzite structure.
