Cognitive Radio (CR) is a novel technology that permits secondary users (SUs) to transmit alongside primary users (PUs). PUs retain transparent communications whereas SUs perform spectrum sensing and adaptive transmission to avoid collisions. Ultra-wideband sensing is of primary importance for SU to sense and access opportunistically several bands at a time. Reliable detection in wide geographi...

This paper presents an architecture of Multiband Impulse Radio UWB (MB-IR-UWB) system based on Prolate Spheroidal Wave Function (PSWF) by binary time hopping pulse position modulation (TH-PPM) over multipath fading channel. In order to combat multipath fading, Rake receiver using maximal ratio combining (MRC) is applied to this system, which can successfully capture the unique multipath-rich pr...

This study presents a new design of patch antenna with Human face shaped slot on the patch. This antenna has dual operating bands and suitable for wireless and C-band application. With a simple design configuration and the human face slot form on patch, the proposed antenna can be used in multiband wireless operations, covering the mobile IMT (3400-3600 MHz), C-band (3400-4200 MHz) and WiMAX (2...

Various public safety personnel often cannot readily communicate with one another due to the lack of interoperability in their radios. One of the solutions to this problem is to provide user a multi-band multi-mode radio (MMR). In this paper we present the design of an experimental prototype multiband radio, which operates in public safety frequency bands from 100 MHz to 1 GHz. In our design we...

A new color management system has been developed for high definition color recording and reproduction of art paintings. This system is consisted of high accurate multiband camera, personal computer and projected type display. The multi-band camera is composed by five band filters and single chip CCD camera with 2048x2048 pixels. The reflectance spectra of each pixel of the object were estimated...
