Earned value management (EVM) is widely used when monitoring and estimating operations related to construction projects. As the scope complexity of projects expand, traditional EVM sometimes ineffective even results in conclusions that are contrary actual situation. Additionally, estimate produced by a deterministic does not account for uncertainty activities involved project. This study propos...

A reliable electronic voting machine (EVM) is proposed and implemented in this study, which integrated with a biometric fingerprint scanner to ensure secure election process. This EVM includes features such as an interactive user interface, hack-free design master lock. The system has the capability of registering data storing it database through proper authentication. Moreover, lowers requirem...

We propose a fast and accurate signal quality monitoring scheme that uses convolutional neural networks for error vector magnitude (EVM) estimation in coherent optical communications. build regression model to extract EVM information from complex constellation diagrams using small number of received symbols. For the additive-white-Gaussian-noise-impaired channel, proposed shows normalized mean ...

A fully integrated pulsewidth modulator for Class-S power amplifiers is presented. It consists of a triangular signal generator, a comparator and output buffer. The HBT BiCMOS design of PWM circuit is applied to the LTE frequency range, which converts digitally modulated 955MHz RF carrier with 2.87GHz sampling clock. This PWM shows an EVM 6.6%, a differential output voltage swing 1.35Vp-p with ...

By exploiting multiple non-degenerate four-wave mixing in a silicon-organic hybrid slot waveguide and 16-ary phase-shift keying signals, we propose and simulate three-input (A, B, C) multicasted 40-Gbaud (160-Gbit/s) optical hexadecimal addition/subtraction (A + B - C, A + C - B, B + C - A, A + B + C, A - B - C, B - A - C). The error vector magnitude (EVM) and dynamic range of signal power are ...
