VHDL Design and FPGA Implementation of a High Data Rate Turbo Decoder based on Majority Logic Codes

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1824-1832
A. Boudaoud , M. El Haroussi , E. Abdelmounim
This paper presents the electronic synthesis, VHDL design and implementation on FPGA of turbo decoders for Difference Set Codes (DSC) decoded by the majority logic (ML). The VHDL design is based on the decoding equations that we have simplified, in order to reduce the complexity and is implemented on parallel process to increase the data rate. A co-simulation using the Dsp-Builder tool on a platform designed on Matlab/Simulink, allows the measurement of the performance in terms of BER (Bit Error Rate) as well as the decoder validation. These decoders can be a good choice for future digital transmission chains. For example, for the Turbo decoder based on the product code DSC (21.11)² with a quantization of 5 bits and for one complete iteration, the results show the possibility of integration of our entire turbo decoder on a single chip, with lower latency at 0.23 microseconds and data rate greater than 500 Mb/s.

Dictionary based Image Compression via Sparse Representation

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1964-1972
Arabinda Sahoo , Pranati Das
Nowadays image compression has become a necessity due to a large volume of images. For efficient use of storage space and data transmission, it becomes essential to compress the image. In this paper, we propose a dictionary based image compression framework via sparse representation, with the construction of a trained over-complete dictionary. The over-complete dictionary is trained using the intra-prediction residuals obtained from different images and is applied for sparse representation. In this method, the current image block is first predicted from its spatially neighboring blocks, and then the prediction residuals are encoded via sparse representation. Sparse approximation algorithm and the trained over-complete dictionary are applied for sparse representation of prediction residuals. The detail coefficients obtained from sparse representation are used for encoding. Experimental result shows that the proposed method yields both improved coding efficiency and image quality as compared to some state-of-the-art image compression methods.

A Novel Algorithm to Estimate Closely Spaced Source DOA

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp2109-2115
Sidi Mohamed Hadj Irid , Samir Kameche , Said Assous
In order to improve resolution and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of two closely spaced sources, in context of array processing, a new algorithm is presented. However, the proposed algorithm combines both spatial sampling technic to widen the resolution and a high resolution method which is the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) to estimate the DOA of two closely spaced sources impinging on the far-field of Uniform Linear Array (ULA). Simulations examples are discussed to demonstrate the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed approach (referred as Spatial sampling MUSIC SS-MUSIC) compared to the classical MUSIC method when it’s used alone in this context.

The need for accurate load forecasts will increase in the future because of the dramatic changes occurring in the electricity consumption. Sugeno fuzzy inference system (FIS) can be used for short-term load forecasting. However, challenges in the electrical load forecasting are the data used the data trend. Therefore, it is difficult to develop appropriate fuzzy rules for Sugeno FIS. This paper proposes Evolution Strategy method to determine appropriate rules for Sugeno FIS that have minimum forecasting error. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is used to evaluate the goodness of the forecasting result. The numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed optimized Sugeno FIS for several test-case problems. The optimized Sugeno FIS produce lower RMSE comparable to those achieved by other well-known method in the literature.

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i2.pp442-448
Mikhael Bagus Renardi , Kuspriyanto Kuspriyanto , Noor Cholis Basjaruddin , Anton Prafanto
The popularity of public transportation has increased as infrastructures have been repaired and other supporting facilities have been added. One of the facilities which can be added in the transportation system is the implementation of Near Field Communication in order to accelerate each transaction in the transportation system. In airports, transaction activities need to be done efficiently, like claiming baggage at the baggage carousel. The speed of transaction to claim the baggage depends on the number of officers, passengers, and the amount of baggage brought by the passengers. In the conventional system, the most effective way of getting the maximum speed of transaction is to have officers as many as the number of passengers, but this is not efficient regarding the use of human resources. The use of Near Field Communication can solve the problem related to the efficiency of resources, safety, and the increasing speed of transaction.

Wiharto Wiharto , Harianto Herianto , Hari Kusnanto
The assessment model of coronary heart disease is so much developed in line with the development of information technology, particularly the field of artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, the assessment models developed mostly do not use such an approach made by the clinician, the tiered approach. This study aims to analyze the performance of a tiered model assessment. The method used for each level is, preprocessing, building architecture artificial neural network (ANN), conduct training using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and one step secant, as well as testing the system. The study is divided into the terms of the stages in the examination procedure. The test results showed the influence of each level, both when the output level of the previous positive or negative, were tested back at the next level. The performance evaluation may indicate that the top level provides performance improvement and or reinforce the previous level.

Loai S. Nasrat , Berlanty A. Iskander , Marina N. Kamel
Epoxy resin composites reinforced to different types of carbon nano-particles have been fabricated. Carbon black (20, 30 and 40 wt. %), graphene (0.5 to 4 wt. %) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) (0.5 to 2 wt. %) were added with different weight percentages to epoxy. The dielectric strength of composites was tested in several conditions such as (dry, wet, low salinity and high salinity). The mechanical characterization showed that the nano-composite Polymer enhanced by using these particles in the tensile strength. Thermal gravimetric analysis shows effect of these nano-particles on the thermal structure of epoxy resin. Scanning Electron Microscopic test is used to characterize the dispersion of carbon nano-particles and to analysis the fractured parts in the nano scale.

Functional Verification of Large-integers Circuits using a Cosimulation-based Approach

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp2192-2205

Cryptography and computational algebra designs are complex systems based on modular arithmetic and build on multi-level modules where bit-width is generally larger than 64-bit. Because of their particularity, such designs pose a real challenge for verification, in part because large-integer’s functions are not supported in actual hardware description languages (HDLs), therefore limiting the HDL testbench utility. In another hand, high-level verification approach proved its efficiency in the last decade over HDL testbench technique by raising the latter at a higher abstraction level. In this work, we propose a high-level platform to verify such designs, by leveraging the capabilities of a popular tool (Matlab/Simulink) to meet the requirements of a cycle accurate verification without bit-size restrictions and in multi-level inside the design architecture. The proposed high-level platform is augmented by an assertion-based verification to complete the verification coverage. The platform experimental results of the testcase provided good evidence of its performance and re-usability.

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i2.pp533-541
Xiaoqun Qin
In the face of the problem of high complexity of two-dimensional Otsu adaptive threshold algorithm, a new fast and effective Otsu image segmentation algorithm is proposed based on genetic algorithm. This algorithm replaces the segmentation threshold of the traditional two - dimensional Otsu method by finding the threshold of two one-dimensional Otsu method, it reduces the computational complexity of the partition from O (L4) to O (L). In order to ensure the integrity of the segmented object, the algorithm introduces the concept of small dispersion in class, and the automatic optimization of parameters are achieved by genetic algorithm. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the algorithm is not only better than the original two-dimensional Otsu algorithm, but also it has better segmentation effect.

Energy Efficient Operation of Three Phase Induction Motor using Delstar Converter for Machine Tools

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1706-1713
M. Premkumar , R. Sowmya
DELSTAR converter is an electronic system to be interfaced with the existing STAR – DELTA starter for machine tools. Induction motor consumes more power while it is operated at DELTA mode for a long time under no load condition. The proposed system gives the solution for the above stated problem. When the load on the motor is less than 40% of full load, it switches the motor to operate in STAR mode to save energy. When the load increases beyond 40%, it automatically switches the motor to operate in DELTA mode. The starting regimen is not disturbed. The proposed converter is recommended for applications where load changes are not more than 120 times/hour. This can be used with any capacity motor by choosing appropriate current transformers and setting the current level using the potentiometer built in. The proposed converter is designed for 5HP induction motor and experimentally tested.

FPGA Implementation of Higher Order FIR Filter

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1874-1881
Gurpadam Singh , Neelam R. Prakash
The digital Finite-Impulse-Response (FIR) filters are mainly employed in digital signal processing applications. The main components of digital FIR filters designed on FPGAs are the register bank to save the samples of signals, adder to implement sum operations and multiplier for multiplication of filter coefficients to signal samples. Although, design and implementation of digital FIR filters seem simple but the design bottleneck is multiplier block for speed, power consumption and FPGA chip area occupation. The multipliers are an integral part in FIR structures and these use a large part of the chip area. This limits the number of processing elements (PE) available on the chip to realize a higher order of filter. A model is developed in the Matlab/Simulink environment to investigate the performance of the desired higher order FIR filter. An equivalent FIR filter representation is designed by the Xilinx FIR Compiler by using the exported FIR filter coefficients. The Xilinx implementation flow is completed with the help of Xilinx ISE 14.5. It is observed how the use of higher order FIR filter impacts the resource utilization of the FPGA and it’s the maximum operating frequency.

Modestus Oliver Asali , Ferry Hadary , Bomo Wibowo Sanjaya
Two-wheeled self-balancing robot is a popular model in control system experiments which is more widely known as inverted pendulum and cart model. This is a multi-input and multi-output system which is theoretical and has been applied in many systems in daily use. Anyway, most research just focus on balancing this model through try-on experiments or by using simple form of mathematical model. There were still few researches that focus on complete mathematic modeling and designing a mathematical model based controller for such system. This paper analyzed mathematical model of the system. Then, the authors successfully applied a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller for this system. This controller was tested with different case of system condition. Controlling results was proved to work well and tested on different case of system condition through simulation on matlab/Simulink program.

MOOCs is the new wave of remote learning that has revolutionized it since its apparition, offering the possibility to teach a very big group of student, at the same time, in the same course, within all disciplines and without even gathering them in the same geographic location, or at the same time; Allowing the sharing of all type of media and document and providing tools to assessing student performance. To benefit from all this advantages, big universities are investing in MOOCs platforms to valorize their approach, which makes MOOC available in a multitude of languages and variety of disciplines. Elite universities have open their doors to student around the world without requesting tuition or claiming a college degree, however even with the major effort reaching to maximize students visits and hooking visitors to the platform, using recommending systems propose content likely to please learners, the dropout rate still very high and the number of users completing a course remains very low compared to those who have quit. In this paper we propose an architecture aiming to maximize users visits by exploiting users big data and combining it with data available from social networks.

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1815-1823
Gurumurthy Komanaplli , Neeta Pandey , Rajeshwari Pandey
In this paper a new, operational transresistance amplifier (OTRA) based, third order quadrature oscillator (QO) is presented. The proposed structure forms a closed loop using a high pass filter and differentiator. All the resistors employed in the circuit can be implemented using matched transistors operating in linear region thereby making the proposed structure fully integrated and electronically tunable. The effect of non-idealities of OTRA has been analyzed which suggests that for high frequency applications self-compensation can be used. Workability of the proposed QO is verified through SPICE simulations using 0.18μm AGILENT CMOS process parameters. Total harmonic distortion (THD) for the proposed QO is found to be less than 2.5%.The sensitivity, phasenoise analysis is also discussed for the proposed structure.
