Abstract

This paper presents a compact dual-band frequency-reconfigurable monopole antenna for sub-6 GHz wireless applications. Using a single PIN diode, the antenna switches between 2.7 GHz and 3.9 GHz bands, achieving bandwidths of 472 MHz and 1130 MHz, respectively, with peak gains up to 1.65 dB. The demand for smaller devices has driven the development of compact antennas capable of operating across multiple bands. The main benefits of this antenna include its compact size, enhanced bandwidth, and design simplicity, which is achieved by integrating slots into the patch and introducing a tiny slot etched over the ground plane. The antenna is created using an FR4 material with a thickness of 1.6 mm and dimensions of 25×15 mm². The antenna prototype was fabricated and tested to validate its performance. Simulation optimization reveals that the antenna operates with a gain of 0.9–1.65 dB and a bandwidth of (472–1130 MHz). The design also achieves a VSWR of less than 1.3 and a radiation efficiency between 74% and 78%. The performance enhancement of the reconfigurable antenna was fine-tuned utilizing microwave solvers in both computer simulation technology (CST) and advance design system (ADS).

Abstract

Traditional voting methods in Nigeria face numerous challenges, including logistic issues, security concerns, and allegations of fraud, which undermine public trust. This work develops a blockchain-based electronic voting system (EVS) that leverages the national identification number (NIN) for biometric verification to address these issues. The research identifies the limitations of current blockchain voting solutions, such as implementation complexity, scalability issues, user adoption resistance, and cybersecurity threats and provide a more secure and user-friendly alternative. The system integrates blockchain technology with biometric verification to create an immutable, transparent, and secure voting process. The methodology involves designing a system architecture that includes a blockchain network, an NIN verification module, and a user interface (UI). Users register using their NIN, authenticate themselves, and cast their votes, which are then encrypted and recorded on the blockchain. The system's functionality was tested using tools like Ganache for local blockchain development, MetaMask for Ethereum wallet integration, and Solidity for writing smart contracts. Results from the implementation indicate significant improvements in security, transparency, and user accessibility compared to traditional voting systems. The user authentication test achieved a 100% valid login success rate and 0% invalid login attempts. Meanwhile, the voting test accuracy was 100%.

Abstract

Recently, utilities have developed and deployed wide area measurement systems (WAMS) to improve the electricity grid's ability to monitor, manage, and defend itself. In a typical WAMS setup, multiple measuring devices, communication systems, and energy management systems work together to gather, transmit, and then analyze data. Although there is substantial interdependence among these three capabilities, most research treats them independently. The work presented here minimizes the total cost of the communication infrastructure (CI) by taking into account the price of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and the placement of a phasor data concentrator (PDC) at the same time. The optimum CI and PDC placement has been built with Steiner tree optimization's help. There have also been practical operating scenarios of more realistic working conditions containing pre-installed PMU, pre-installed fiber optic and N-1 contingency. The optimization hurdle has been overcome by utilizing the binary firefly algorithm (BFFA), which has undergone testing on IEEE 14, 30, and 118 bus systems to demonstrate its effectiveness. A comparison has been offered, and it clearly demonstrates the proposed approach's superiority over previously published articles.

Abstract

This study suggests a bail-shaped microstrip patch antenna designed for 5G applications. This antenna model operates in the 3.45 GHz wireless communication frequency range, which is a component of the so-called C-band (3.3 to 4.2 GHz), which is widely utilized for mid-band 5G deployments across the globe. Antenna size optimization is achieved at 31×28 mm2. On the patch, a slot is added to enhance the return loss features. The light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) model for prediction acts as an objective function of the considered piranha foraging optimization algorithm (PFOA) to adjust the antenna's slot dimension, which will be used to optimize the slot width. In order to get a superior return loss value of around -39.90<-10 dB, the optimization approach that is provided seeks to achieve the ideal slot length. The proposed device exhibits remarkable radiation efficiency by partially grounding, with a peak gain of around 2.535 dBi at 3.45 GHz. A novel hybrid approach combines the LightGBM prediction model with the PFOA to fine-tune slot dimensions, achieving a superior return loss of -39.90 dB. The exclusivity of this effort is the incorporation of machine learning algorithms to attain significantly improved parameters.

Abstract

This paper introduces a signal processing feature for chirp-pulsed eddy current testing (C-PECT) to improve crack detection in low-carbon steel, a common material in maritime structures. While C-PECT is an established technique, inspecting ferromagnetic materials is challenging due to significant background noise from lift-off variations and material permeability. The novelty of this work lies in the proposal of a frequency-domain integration feature designed to suppress this noise. The method utilizes a chirp-pulse-excited probe with a Hall sensor to measure the magnetic field response. By integrating the signal's magnitude spectrum, the frequency feature effectively flattens the background and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio. Experimental validation on a low-carbon steel specimen with artificial cracks demonstrates the feature's superior performance in providing clear, high-contrast crack indications compared to a conventional time-domain analysis. The results indicate that this approach offers a simple, computationally efficient, and robust solution for the qualitative detection and localization of cracks, enhancing structural integrity assessments in noisy industrial environments.

Abstract

Accurate moisture measurement in cotton is essential for maintaining fibre quality, ensuring safe storage, and supporting efficient processing. Improper moisture levels can result in microbial growth, fibre degradation, or mechanical damage during ginning and spinning operations. This study presents the development of a real-time moisture measurement system for cotton used in the ginning industry. The system operates on the principle of electrical resistance change to detect varying moisture levels. Cotton samples were categorized into four types: wet, new, old, and dry. The system is designed for use on moving or in-process cotton. To evaluate system performance, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) were employed for classification. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was used to calibrate the system against the standard oven-drying method (ASTM D2495-07). Further, artificial neural network (ANN) modelling was applied for moisture prediction. The system successfully discriminated between the cotton types, achieving over 85% explained variance in classification. ANN-based prediction aligned closely with the standard reference method. The developed system provides a low-cost, fast, and real-time solution for moisture measurement in cotton, with strong potential for industrial application.
