Abstract

This paper presents an improved Ant System (AS) algorithm called AS-2Swap for solving one of the reliability optimization problems. The objective is to selection a compatible module in order to maximize the system reliability and subject to budget constraints. This problem is NP-hard and formulated as a binary integer-programming problem with a nonlinear objective function. The proposed algorithm is based on the original AS algorithm and the improvement, focused on choosing the feasible solutions, neighborhood search with Swap technique for each loop of finding the solution. The implementation was tested by the five groups of data sets from the existing meta-heuristic found in the literature. The computational results show that the proposed algorithm can find the global optimal solution and is more accurate for larger problems.

Abstract

A coplanar waveguidefed ultra-wideband antenna with extended transmission band to WLAN frequency is investigated. The proposed antenna consists of a modified semi-circular patch and staircase of ground plane. The prototype is fabricated on a low cost FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 with thicknes of 0.8 mm. The overall dimensions of proposed UWB antenna are 34 mm x 40 mm. The simulation and experimental results have been shown that the proposed antenna archives low VSWR over transmission bandwidth from 2.10 - 12.7 GHz to cover both WLAN and UWB bands.  The average gain is 3.87 dBi. It depicts nearly omni-directional radiation pattern like dipole antenna. Moreover, the fabricated prototype antenna shows a good agreement between the simulated and measured results
