Abstract

Biomedical signal processing provides a cross-disciplinary international forum through which research on signal and images measurement and analysis in clinical medicine as well as biological sciences is shared. Electrocardiography (ECG) signal is more frequently used for diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the ECG signals contain sensitive private health information as well as details that serve to individually distinguish patients. For this reason, the information must be encrypted prior to transmission across public media so as to prevent unauthorized access by adversaries. In this paper, the proposed the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm (AES), which is one of a symmetric key block cipher with lightweight properties for enhances confidentiality, integrity and authentication in ECG signal transmission. However, some of the challenges arising from the use of this algorithm are computational overhead and level of security, which occur when handling more complex.The AES algorithm has different operation modes using three different key sizes which can be utilized in encrypting the whole sample of ECG biomedical signal in electronic healthcare. The experiments in this research, exhibit comparative study of using five modes of operation in AES algorithm, which are coupled with three key sizes based on the execution time and security level for the encryption of ECG biomedical signals in electronic healthcare application. Thus, we reported that the CBC mode of the AES algorithm is suitable to be applied of security purpose.

Abstract

In this paper, a novel design for single-layer half width microstrip leakywave antenna (HW-MLWA) is demonstrated. This model can be digitally control its radiation pattern at operation frequency and uses only two values of the bias voltage, with better impedance matching and insignificant gain variation. The scanning and controlling the radiation pattern of leaky-wave antennas (LWA) in steps at an operation frequency, by using switches PIN diodes, is investigated and a novel HW-MLWA is introduced. A control cell reconfigurable, that can be switched between two states, is the basic element of the antenna. The periodic LWA is molded by identical control cells where as a control radiation pattern is developed by combining numerous reconfigurable control cells. A gap capacitor is independently connected or disconnected in every unit cell by using a PIN diode switch to achieve fixedfrequency control radiation pattern scanning. The profile reactance at the free edge of (HW-MLWA) and thus the main lobe direction is altered by changing the states of the control cell. The antenna presented in this paper, can scan main beam between 18o to 44o at fixed frequency of 4.2 GHz with measured peak gain of 12.29 dBi.
