The BER performance for an optimal circular 16-QAM constellation is theoretically derived and applied in wavelet based OFDM system in additive white Gaussian noise channel. Signal point constellations have been discussed in much literature. An optimal circular 16-QAM is developed. The calculation of the BER is based on the four types of the decisio

In this article, we present the design of a modified crescent antenna for ultrawideband (UWB) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Different studies to optimize the design of this antenna for the UWB-RFID system have been performed, particularly to overcome the main challenges such as minimizing the size of the antenna, improving its read ran

In this paper, systems of second-order boundary value problems (BVPs) are considered. The applicability of the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) was extended to obtain exact solutions of the BVPs directly. Dalam makalah ini, sistem masalah nilai sempadan (MNS) berperingkat dua dipertimbangkan. Kegunaan kaedah homotopi-usikan (KHU) diperluaskan bag

We report a 56-year-old Malay woman with a tumour that involved the skin and caused hyoid bone erosion. There was no clinical or radiological evidence of regional lymph node involvement.
