Abstract

Early warning system (EWS) via digital television (TV) in Indonesia is still un-optimal in design and implementation due to the absent of clear standard/guidance to follow across the country. This paper studies various EWS based on digital TV of Japan, Korea, and the United States of America (USA). Although the systems look like different, the EWS can be simplified into 3 nodes representing (i) Emergency Agency, (ii) TV broadcaster, and (iii) TV receiver. Beside the 3-node-based EWS, this paper evaluates the possibilities of EWS having 4 nodes. We perform computer simulations to evaluate the latency and bit error rate (BER) performances under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels. We found that the system latency and BER performances of EWS are highly affected by (i) the distance of one node to another and (ii) the number of nodes, where EWS with 3 or 4 nodes found to be enough and suitable for Indonesia digital TV. We propose a criterion of good EWS, i.e., total delay T <= t + 4.delta.t with t and delta.t being the propagation delay and processing time, respectively, and BER less than Pb=10-3. The result of this paper are expected to be used as a reference for the Indonesia EWS systems.

Abstract

This paper proposes a proportional integrative control method for two chambers tank by Ethernet using Arduino. An Ethernet module was used for data communication between PC and twin tank. An ultrasonic sensor was mounted in top of two chambers tank to measure a height that can be converted to calculate the debit of the water. We make a dynamic model of the twin tank using linearization model. Then, from the linearized model, we control the debit of the twin tank using proportional integrative (PI) controller to meet required responses.

Abstract

Innovations in the field of wireless communication are growing very rapidly in line with the behavior of modern societies that have high mobility, need of the flexible services, easy access, and high speed data transfer to facilitate any activities of its users. The needs of every user of any variety are more than just voice, video, data transfer, up to a demanding streaming multimedia capabilities and reliability of the communication system used. One of the factors that affect the quality and speed of data transfer in wireless communications is modulation. The development of technological modulation allows data transfer rate to become faster, more resistant to noise, and have high security (encryption) in order to secure data sent over the lead. The implementation of digital modulator PSK (Phase Shift Keying Modulation) and QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) on FPGA is designed to simplify the design of a hardware by representing the input which is prepared by using the VHDL programming language. The input will be programmed by logic gates contained in the FPGA into a circuit that functions as a digital modulator. This device can map the input bits into a modulator output that has been mapped in accordance with the coordinates of the constellation. The expected results of the implementation are three types of digital modulator, namely: BPSK, QPSK and 16-QAM to be implemented on FPGA Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX45 CSG324C; modulation type to be used can be selected by entering input on the programs implemented in the FPGA. In the design used input from laptop devices with UART interface and data types for input is ASCII 8 bit for later analysis simulation results modulation of the input to each modulator using Modelsim for simulation design and Chipscope for simulation system design implemented in the FPGA.

Abstract

Measuring the number of pulses has been used in the medical world to determine stress, relaxation, physical fitness levels, and other medical conditions. Due to the importance of checking heart rate, it is necessary to have a portable and practical heart rate measuring device so that patients with heart disease will be easier to be monitored. The device is equipped with pulse sensor to measure the heart rate in real time and provide a beats per minute (BPM). The results of normal heart rate conditions, bradycardia, and tachycardia can be monitored using mobile device application based on the measured BPM. This can be seen as output voltage generated by the pulse sensor. This pulse sensor has an average percentage error of 1.77% and deviation of 2 that is relatively small compared to standardized devices. The device is connected to the mobile application by Bluetooth which the coverage is 11 up to 45 meters depends on the obstacles.

Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a radar system that uses platform movement combined with signal processing. Eventhough it use a small antenna, SAR produce high resolution as good as a large antenna. In SAR imaging, radar is mounted on a moving platform. It transmits electromagnetic pulses and receives backscattered echo signals. Transmitted pulses are subsequently scattered by earth surface and only small portion of them are received by antenna. SAR transmitted signals normally is a chirp or linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal. Chirp signal can be generated by using the analog and digital generator. Digital chirp generator is divided into two methods which are the memory-based and direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The difference of these two methods is located in the memory ROM. In this study, we designed and realized digital chirp generator by using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) DE-1 development board for SAR implementation. It operates in 1.27 GHz (L Band) frequency and had a bandwith of 10 MHz with 24 MHz sampling rate. We found that the output of FPGA is well performed for chirp signal in digital domain.

Abstract

Several researches have been done to study the characteristics of the bonang barung, one of Javanese Gamelan music instrument. One of them is convertion of bonang barung single tone to numeric notation using Harmonic FFT as feature extraction and Backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classification. The tone detection accuracy result from previous research is 70,74%. In this research we try to improve the detection result by searching the dominant features using Wrapper Feature Subset Selection (WFSS). Sequential forward selection (SFS) and sequential backward selection (SBS) are used as searching algorithm. The input of the system is a song recorded from a bonang barung then the detected tone is converted into numeric notation. From the experiment, WFSS-SFS produced 6 features with 86,4% accuracy while WFSS-SBS give a better result, it produced 13 features with 92,9% accuracy of tone detection.

Abstract

Ability to read Braille is critical skill for blind students. Without the skill, blind students would encounter difficulties in their learning activities because most learning materials are written using the Braille system. The currently applied Braille learning system uses printed paper that is time consuming and pricey. This research attempts to develop a tool for helping the blinds to learn how to read braille letters. The tool processes inputs in the form of speech signal into a text by applying Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) as a feature extraction method and K- Nearest Neighbor (KNN) as a classifier method. The text will subsequently be transformed into Braille pattern by using Arduino UNO. The test results discover the combination of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient and K-Nearest Neighbor method are able to recognize the speech signal of different alphabets with 87,3% accuracy. Furthermore, the computing time for alphabet recognitions decreases 85 % when the device is applied This finding helps the blind students to recognize the alphabets easily and faster.

Abstract

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that has a relation with respiratory system during sleep.One of the sleep apnea characteristic is suddenly stop breathing during sleep. Peoplehave the dierent of respiratory rate (RR) which is affected by sleep positions andbody mass index (BMI).There are four sleep positions aecting the respiratory rate(RR). Polysomnography (PSG) is conventionally used to analysis the sleep apnea. Thistechnique requires body contact that might be uncomfortable for the patient. In thisstudy, the Xethru X4M200 radar sensor is proposed as non-contact tool to detect the RRby implementing the Doppler effect. Furthermore, the relation between RR with the sleepposition and the BMI are discused. For that purpose, 20 participants (10 males and 10females) with dierent BMIs and sleep positions are examined by monitoring their chestmovement. This method is able to detect the indication of bradypnoea or tachypnoea.Futher systematic study and more participants are required to confirm our results andprovide better non-contact technique for RR measurement.

Abstract

D2D communication is a communication that allows users to communicate without passing through the Base Station (BS). The D2D Underlaying communication system can use the same Resource Block (RB) as the Cellular User Equipment (CUE). Implementing this communication system can ease the burden on BS and can transmit data with higher throughput in low power. However, using RB simultaneously can cause interference and therefore an RB allocation scheme is needed. The algorithm used in the scheduling process of the uplink RB owned by CUE to the D2D pair is the joint greedy algorithm with sectoring scheme. This work used a scenario where the value of the D2D pair are varied. The parameters measured in this simulation were sum-rate, spectral efficiency and fairness. The simulation results show that the joint greedy with sectoring allocation scheme has good energy efficiency and spectral efficiency values of 6.063× 106 bps/watt and 16.982 bps/Hz. On the other hand, the D2D fairness value in the joint greedy with sectoring allocation scheme is 0.886.

Abstract

Fabrication process determines the composite quality. Conventional method such as dry- and hand lay-up are commonly used. Dry lay-up method has known to be more controllable and produce less defect composites with good mechanical property. However, this method is more expensive. On the other hand, hand lay-up which is more simple and less expensive, is uncontrollable as well as produces more defect and poorer mechanical properties of composites. In this study, we creates instrument which is able to control wet lay-up fabrication process of Fiber Reinforced Composite Material (FRCM). Instead of using uncontrollable human hands, this instrument utilizes speed controllable paint roller which distributes the resin though all matrix. The result shows that the produced composites have more homogenous resin distribution, smaller size defects, and exhibits stronger mechanical properties compare to the one produced by hand lay-up method. This study is expected to open further innovations on low cost composite fabrication.
