In this paper, a technical concept and design of circular polarization detection patch array antenna using a double-balanced RF multiplier is proposed. The microwave integration technology is effectively employed to realize the proposed array antenna. The double-balanced RF multiplier is integrated with an orthogonal planar array antenna. The array antenna which consists of 12 patch elements an...

We study the performance of alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities through the GHK simulator. The sampling methods are randomized versions of some quasi-Monte Carlo samples (Halton, Niederreiter, Niederreiter-Xing sequences and lattice points) and some samples based on orthogonal arrays (Latin hypercube, orthogonal array and orthogonal array based Latin hy...

Orthogonal Array Testing is one of the most important techniques that produce test cases which are much lesser in number than black box testing, but are more relevant. In spite of its importance, the technique has not been explored as much as other techniques. The present work, therefore, explores the literature to find the gaps in the literature and hence propose a new technique based on Genet...

CNC machine tool is widely used by manufacturing engineers and production personnel to quickly and effectively set up manufacturing processes for new products. This study discusses an investigation into the use of Taguchi Parameter Design methodology for study of CNC turning operation for surface roughness as a response variable. The Taguchi parameter design method is an efficient experimental ...

It is proved that the collection of blocks of an affine 1-design that yields a linear orthogonal array is a union of parallel classes of hyperplanes in a finite affine space. In particular, for every prime power q and every m ≥ 2 there exists a unique (up to equivalence) complete linear orthogonal array of strength two associated with the classical design of points and hyperplanes in AG(m, q).

this study focused on the optimization of al—mg to cuzn34 friction stir lap welding (fslw) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using grey relational analysis (gra). first, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

We study constant coefficient four term recurrences for polynomials, in analogy to the three-term recurrences that are associated with orthogonal polynomials. We show that for a family of polynomials obeying such a four-term recurrence, the coefficient array is an ordinary Riordan array of a special type, and vice versa. In certain cases, it is possible to transform these polynomials into relat...

In this work we solve the problem of architecting a conceptual, near-term, cost-effective system of systems (SoS) to respond to small boats used by terrorists to attack maritime commerce traffic and critical shore infrastructures in the United States, by formulating the architecting problem as an assignment problem which is then solved using the orthogonal array experiment. Also known as the Ta...

in this study, amine functionalized kit-6 silica mesoporous magnetite nanocomposite (nh2-mmnc) was synthesized by chemical methods and used as an efficient and recoverable adsorbent for removal of ponceau 4r, as a toxic dye, from aqueous solutions. the synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by xrd, ft-ir, bet and sem instruments. the effect of various experimental parameters on the dye r...
