This book is concerned with the design, construction and testing of a 1.3GHz microstrip rectangular patch antenna. The patch antenna incorporated a feed-line on the PCB board. The first part of the design of the antenna involved the computation of the dimensions of the patch to achieve a fundamental frequency of 1.3GHz. The accuracy of the computed dimensions was confirmed on an Ansoft Designer simulation package by examining the return loss of the antenna at the resonant frequencies. The second part of the design of the antenna involved the computation of the performance of the antenna. A...

This book is mainly concerned on use novel algorithms to reduce the power consumption used in modern digital modems e.g. QPSK. The designing and the simulation it will be in MATLAB. It will involve hardware implementation using VHDL and Xilinx FPGAs. In this project a novel low power modem will be designed for use in communication systems. For the designing it will use some of the modern radio communication technologies such as QPSK (OQPSK, BPSK etc) with the aim of designing and simulate a filter in MATLAB using Gaussian, Rayleigh and Rician channels. The simulation of QPSK and FIR filter...
