A new version of transverse electromagnetic parallel plates with irregular plates’ width and plate separation has been developed for dielectric measurement. The separations between the plates are supported by four rectangular Teflon block and 1 mm of groove is proposed at the center of the upper plate to maintain the measurement repeatability. The groove enables the samples which are slightly higher than 2 cm to be fitted well between the plates without introducing extra force to the plates. Theperformance of both parallel plates has been compared in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 1.1 GHz. It is found that the upgraded parallel plate offers better return loss and insertion loss above 500 MHz compared to the previous parallel plate. It is reported from this work that the return loss of the parallel plate must be lower than -15 dB in order to achieve accurate dielectric constant. However, the insertion loss of the parallel plates does not influence the real permeability significantly. The upgraded TEM parallel plateproduces a consistent reading with a standard deviation of less than 0.05 above frequency 200 MHz. The dielectric measurement of Polypropylene (PP) has proven the capability of this upgraded TEM parallelplate.

Watermarking is the process of embedding information into a carrier file for the protection of ownership/copyright of digital media, whilst steganography is the art of hiding information. This paper presents, a hybrid steganographic watermarking algorithm based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) transforms in order to enhance the security of digital fingerprint images. A facial watermark is embedded into fingerprint image using a method of singular value replacement. First, the DWT is used to decompose the fingerprint image from the spatial domain to the frequency domain and then the facial watermark is embedded in singular values (SV’s) obtained by application of SVD. In addition, the original fingerprint image is not required to extract the watermark. Experimental results provided demonstrate the methods robustness to image degradation and common signal processing attacks, such as histogram and filtering, noise addition, JPEG and JPEG2000 compression with various levels of quality.

This paper proposes a combined system of three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF), and photovoltaic generator (PVG), to solve the power quality problems such as harmonic currents, poor power factor, and unbalanced load. In addition, the proposed system can inject the issued energy from the PVG into the utility grid. To increase the efficiency of the PVG and extract the maximum photovoltaic (PV) power under variable atmospheric conditions, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on perturb and observe (P&O) is implemented in the DC/DC boost converter. The effectiveness of the proposed PVG-SAPF (PVG and SAPF) based on the use of synchronous reference frame theory (SRF theory) under unbalanced nonlinear load. The proposed PVG-SAPF is validated through numerical simulations using Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed PVG-SAPF.

In network-on-chip (NoC) based multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) development, application profiling is one of the most crucial step during design time to search and explore optimal mapping. Conventional mapping exploration methodologies analyse application-specific graphs by estimating its runtime behaviour using analytical or simulation models. However, the former does not replicate the actual application run-time performance while the latter requires significant amount of time for exploration. To mapapplications on a specific MPSoC platform, the application behaviour on cycle-accurate emulated platform should be considered for obtaining better mapping quality. This paper proposes an application mapping methodology that utilizes a MPSoC prototyped in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Applications are implemented on homogeneous MPSoC cores and their costs are analysed and profiled on the platform in term of execution time, intra-core communication and inter-core communication delays. These metricsare utilized in analytical evaluation of the application mapping. The proposed analytical-based mapping is demonstrated against the exhaustive brute force method. Results show that the proposed method is able to produce quality mappings compared to the ground truth solutions but in shorter evaluation time.

This paper is under in-depth investigation due to suspicion of possible plagiarism on a high similarity indexIn recent years, the study of complex networks has been a focus subject of technology fields. In this paper, we consider the adaptive control and synchronization of uncertain complex networks. By using the adaptive control techniques with the linear feedback updated law and the well-known LaSalle invariant principle on dynamical system theory, some simple yet generic criteria are derived. Furthermore, the result is applied to typical chaotic cellular neural networks (CNN). Finally, numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

This paper presented the design of integrated open loop resonator bandpass filter with notch type antenna for the use in microwave applications. Chebyshev type filter is selected as the filter characteristics and cascaded design with the antenna to produce a single module, Integrated Filter Antenna (IFA). Special feature of the antenna is the implementation of notch on the patch antenna to improve the efficiency. IFA is then simulated in electromagnetic simulation tool, Agilent Advance Design System (ADS) version 2016 and measured using R&S Vector Network Analyzer. It shows that the proposed IFA produced good measured return loss >-30dB with both vertical and horizontal gain of 9.11dBi and 8.01dBi respectively.

This paper is under in-depth investigation due to suspicion of possible plagiarism on a high similarity indexThe traditional microphone speech acquisition method has several limitations, such as short acquisition distance, non-directivity, weak ability to compensate for anti-acoustic noise, and poor sensitivity. As an alternative, our lab developed a new type of speech detection system using bio-radar. This novel speech detection method may effectively compensate for the shortcomings of the traditional microphone because of the special features of bio-radar. However, the detected radar speech is also corrupted by specific electromagnetic and ambient noises. Therefore, this study proposes a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) short-time spectral amplitude estimate algorithm to enhance radar captured speech. Because the proposed approach employs an optimal spectral amplitude estimator as well as a method to minimize the mean-square error of the log-spectra in enhancing noisy speech, this algorithm significantly reduces the colored residual noise. The enhanced radar speech was evaluated by both subjective and objective quality evaluation methods. The results demonstrate that the bio-radar can successfully detect speech signal and the proposed speech enhancement algorithm can improve radar captured speech quality.

A feature extraction for musical instrument tones that based on a transform domain approach was proposed in this paper. The aim of the proposed feature extraction was to get the lower feature extraction coefficients. In general, the proposed feature extraction was carried out as follow. Firstly, the input signal was transformed using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). Secondly, the left half of the transformed signal was divided into a number of segments. Finally, the averaging results of that segments, was the feature extraction of the input signal. Based on the test results, the proposed feature extraction was highly efficient for the tones, which have many significant local peaks in the Fourier transform domain, because it only required at least four feature extraction coefficients, in order to represent every tone.

Signal detection in cognitive radio network (CRN) is influenced by several factors. One of them is malicious user that emulate primary user (PU) signal. Emulation of PU signal causes detection error. This paper investigates the impact of malicious user attack to PU signal detection. A number of malicious users are randomly deployed around secondary user (SU) at a certain distance. They attempt to attack primary signal detection that is transmitted from 100 km to SU receiver. Then, the received signal power at secondary receiver and the performance of probability of false alarm and probability of miss detection under two hypothesis of Neyman Pearson criterion are studied. The derived results show that a number of malicious users has a significant impact to the performance of received power at SU and detection error rate.

Managers are the key informants in the information system (IS) success measurements. In fact, besides the determinant agents are rarely involved in the assessments, most of the measurements are also often performed by the technical stakeholders of the systems. Therefore, the results may questionable. This study was carried to explain the factors that influence the success of an e-performance reporting system in an Indonesian university by involving ± 70% of the managers (n=66) in the sampled institution. The DeLone and McLean model was adopted and adapted here following the suggestions of the previous meta-analysis studies. The collected data was analyzed using the partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for examining the four hypotheses. Despite the findings revealed acceptances of the overall hypotheses, the weak explanation of the user satisfaction variable towards the net benefit one had been the highlighted point. Besides the study limitations, the point may also be the practical and theoretical considerations for the next studies, especially for the IS success studies in Indonesia
