Pengelog data untuk multi-meter digital
(2004-03-01)
Lai, Thiam Hee
A normal multimeter is used to measure the voltage and current of certain circuits and also the resistance across certain lines. As the world of electronics evolves, multimeter evolved from analog to digital. But how to incoporate the data measured from a digital multimeter into a computer? The answer to the above question is the datalogger of the digital multimeter. The datalogger is connected into the digital multimeter so that the data measured can be stored into its memory. Before the era of datalogger, some latest digital multimeters have serial interface ready. By linking the interface to the computer, one can get the recording of oscilloscope for slow signals. On the downside, the computer has to be present at the measurement location, and left running all the time. Besides, the digital multimeter occupies the serial port during the entire measurement. These disadvantages certainly points to wastage of computer resources. The datalogger designed will be free of these disadvantages. It can automatically captures the discrete measurement values supplied by the digital multimeter and puts them into permanent storage. When the need arises, the contents of the datalogger will then be downloaded into computer for data manipulation.

This project is to design a power electronics circuit that can be used in capacitor charging applications. The circuit is called a Half Bridge Series Loaded Resonance Converter. The function of this circuit is to supply resonance dc power. This circuit is act like a transformer which can step down an input dc voltage until the output voltage is less than half of the input voltage. For this project, the circuit using an input voltage of 30V. Analysis have been done using PSIM software. From PSIM simulation, we know that the output voltage produced depends on resonant frequency and switching frequency. Circuit operation mode will be effected if there is some changes in switching frequency. There are two modes of circuit operations which are continuous and discontinuous mode. Discontinuous mode occured when switching frequency is less than half of resonance frequency and continuous mode occured when switching frequency is more than half of resonance frequency. From the simulation of discontinuous mode, it shows that the output voltage is 5V. While for the continuous mode the output voltage is 12V. We have already know that when switching frequency is high, the output voltage produced is also high but it is limited until half of the input voltage. The designed switching circuit is using a PWM technique to control the MOSFET.

Mohd Mahadzir, Mohd Mustami
Nowadays, the developments of wireless communication fields are widely used. One of them is the usage of the antennas in data transmission between the receive antenna and the transmit antenna. Active Integrated Antenna (AIA) is a new technology that integrates the passive antenna element with active device in a single substrate. In this project, an inset feed microstrip patch antenna is integrated with a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to produce an AIA system. The purpose of this project is to investigate in terms of active and passive performance of the antenna. Indeed, this microstrip patch antennas are known to be easy to be integrated with active devices. This microstrip patch antennas will directly be integrated to the transistor, producing gains and low noise. Commonly, antennas that have been designed are not integrated directly to the active devices, causing high noise but with the AIA approach it could reduce the losses. This Low Noise Active Integrated Antenna (LNAIA) is resonated at 2 GHz that used transmission line feeding method with impedance matching at 50 ohm. The matching technique is important in designing the LNA. Besides that, this AIA’s have many advantages such as less cost, smaller size and good for radiation characteristic for microwave wireless communications.

Law, Eng Hui
A 2.1 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA), intended for use in a Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) receiver has been implemented in 0.18μm RF process. The amplifier provides a forward gain (S21) of 11.42dB with a noise figure of only 1.7dB and drawing 12.66mA from a 1.8V supply voltage. The 1dB-compression point of the LNA is -9.82dB. In this thesis, detailed analysis of the LNA architecture will be presented. The LNA employed an inductive source degeneration topology, that is, a degenerative inductor is used to provide 50Ω input impedance matching. An advantage of this method is that unlike other methods, it does not bring with it the thermal noise of an ordinary resistor because a pure reactance is noiseless. This LNA uses differential architecture rather than single-ended architecture to provide better common-mode rejection ratio. The main problem faced in the project was to obtain a 50Ω input and output impedance while maintaining the gain to be in the range of 10dB to 15dB. This gain specification is to ensure that the LNA provide enough gain but not too high as to avoid nonlinearity that can cause distortion. LNA should not consume too much power to have good portability. Finally, the performance of the designed low noise amplifier meets all of the specification.

It has been found that the Optimal method of this design of FIR digital filter provides the best result as it produces filter which meet the specification with the least number of coefficient. The suitable filter realization will be used is transversal filter that is the most widely using in implementation of the digital filter.
Design and analysis of discrete high slew rate low noise voltage regulator for rf transceiver system
(2005-03-01)
Mohamad Noor, Mardiana
Communication system consists of various circuits and having a good and regulated source is crucial in order to get the desired signals at the output. The common problems in getting such good sources are spikes, ripple and fluctuating DC input. Linear voltage regulator is a source circuit to supply a steady, constant output. In addition to its basic function, an attempt to implement its usage in the radio frequency circuits has been made through out this project. Three regulator circuits have been designed, which are negative voltage regulator, positive voltage regulator and ripple rejection voltage regulator. The basic schematics for these circuits were implemented from two types of integrated chips; LM317 and µA723. The positive voltage regulator is used to detect positive peak of ripple input voltage and negative voltage regulator performs vice versa task. Ripple rejection voltage regulator acts as an auto-ripple rejecter circuit, which will reject the ripple detected by positive and negative voltage regulators and supply smooth and constant input to the next circuitry. As the gain of the ripple rejection voltage regulator is very small compared to the input voltage, this regulator also can be applied in the gain compression circuit. Those circuits designed in this project are direct transformation from the schematics used in the low frequencies to the design using microstrips for RF circuits.

Mohd Zaini, Mohr Faizal
This final year project, which is entitled “Analysis and Design of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) by Using Soft Switching Technique for the Application of Active Power Filter”, is intended for analyzing and designing of PWM circuit by using the soft switching technique for the use of power device switching in active power filter. This switching technique can be used for power device switching in performing the process of turn-on and turn-off on a fixed time, whether at zero current or at zero voltage. Hence, power device switching can be performed without any constraint or all of a sudden. This is the product of zero current switching and zero voltage switching, which causes current to be in the same phase with the source voltage. PWM technique that has been chosen is sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). Soft switching technique has been implemented in order to overcome problems on energy losses of power devices during high-frequency switching and on reducing the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Power device that has been used as components in the inverter circuit is insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). In order to achieve this project objective, literature reviews have been done on PWM techniques, on soft switching techniques, and on inverter that used IGBT. Then, inverter circuit with PWM soft switching is designed by using SIMCAD V4.1 and PSPICE V9.2. The software simulation for the circuit is compared with theory to verify the circuit. Prototype has been developed after confirming the software simulation results. From the final results, it is found that PWM switching with the soft switching technique can be used to reduce losses and subsequently, to decrease the distortion and harmonic at the output.

Wan Khairuddin, Wan Nur Hafsha
Direct conversion receiver is a receiver system that is widely used for wireless communication.Direct conversion receiver replaced the architecture of superheterodyne receiver.The objectives of my project is to do analysis of IQ Demodulator IC model LT5516 produced by Linear Technology and also the analysis of direct conversion receiver system using LT5516 to see the performance of this receiver.The test circuit for LT5516 is designed using printed circuit board (PCB). Narrowband balun structure is designed for input of RF signal and LO signal.Air core inductor is used for balun design.The analysis of LT5516 cannot be done because the connection between the LT5516 pads and printed circuit board cannot be done so that the test circuit cannot function without the connection of this LT5516 IC.The LT5516 IC cannot be soldered on printed circuit board because the size of the IC is too small (4mmx4mm). The soldering method used is not effective but I still used this method because there are no other technology in this campus. LT5516 pads are connected to printed circuit board using wire-wrap as the conductor.Wire-wrap is soldered to LT5516 pads and connected to PCB pads but lastly IC LT5516 cannot be soldered on PCB because the IC pads are small and resulted the soldering joint.To solve this problem I decreased the amount of solder but the wire wrap could not stick on IC pads.Other components are soldered on PCB pads but the analysis still cannot be done without this IC LT5516. Aluminium box is designed for this test circuit .The aluminium box isdesigned to avoid radiation that will effect the output signal.The calculation for band pass filter and low pass filter are include in this report even they cannot be applied because the circuit not function and cannot be analyze.The suggestions also include at the end of the report to ensure that the direct conversion receiver can function well and can be analyze to see the performance of direct conversion receiver.
Semi-automatic features extraction of cervical cells
(2005-03-01)
Mohanadas, Veerayen
This project is entitled ‘Semi-automatic Features Extraction of Cervical Cells’. The project is aimed to create a user friendly software which can be able to analyze Pap smear images via image processing. Cytological screening using the Pap smear test is the most effective strategy for the detection of precancerous state and consequent control of cervical cancer. Cytological samples that are taken from Pap smear test will undergo further analysis to detect the degree of abnormality of the cervical cells. The results of the abnormality of the samples can be inaccurate since some types of the medical images are blurring and highly affected by unwanted noise. Those bottlenecks in the medical images are believed that can be reduced via implementations of an adaptive fuzzy c-means (AFCM) and moving k-means (MKM) clustering techniques. These clustering techniques were used to segment the Pap smear images and later the features of the cells were extracted using region growing based feature extraction (RGBFE) technique. The performance of AFCM and MKM were analyzed based on the segmentation results of 6 Pap smear images. In overall, MKM was produced much better images than AFCM. Although the results have revealed that AFCM was suffering from centre redundancy and poor final centres in most of the cases, but it has also shown an advantage over MKM where AFCM was not sensitive to initial centres.

Koay, Boon Kit
This final year project deals with effect of harmonic current on reading of analogue kWh meter. In the project, derivation of complex mathematic equation is not included but analysis is made based on the experimental results. A rectifier (which has adjustable capacitor and adjustable resistor connected in parallel as the load) is connected with kWh meter. The meter is then connected with pure sinusoidal voltage source, 50Hz, 240V. The rectifier represents the non-linear loads we use in daily life. When changing the resistance and the capacitance of the loads, the magnitude of the current and the value of total harmonic distortion will change as well. In the situation where the RMS current is not being changed, the change of active power when total harmonic distortion is increased is being compared. The active power refers to that of theoretical active power and that of sensed by the kWh meter. Besides that, the error percentage of kWh meter reading when total harmonic distortion is increased is studied too. In this project, voltage source is assumed not polluted with harmonic content.

Palaniappan, Sivakumar
Teaching Stethoscope is one of the latest biomedical gadgets which have been constructed in this project. This project is implemented by constructing hardware and software design. Basically, this project is divided into three categories which are signal amplification, wireless transmission and computer display. The components that involve in constructing hardware are stethoscope, microphone, instrumentation amplifier, buffer, integrator, low pass filter, audio amplifier and speaker. This part is the heart of the project whereby the signal will be captured through microphone and amplified with the instrumentation amplifier. It will be then filtered by an integrator and low-pass circuit below 200 Hz to reduce the noise. There will be two approaches of displaying the signal in the computer which is MATLAB and Microcontroller 89C51. This analog signal will be converted to digital signal by ADC before it is sent to the microcontroller. By using microcontroller 89C51 as data connection heart pulse are shown in LABVIEW software. The second option will be connecting the hardware to computer through microphone jack and display it through MATLAB in a pulse form. Wireless transmission involves the implementation of FM transmitter and FM receiver. Finally, output signal from the FM receiver will be amplified by using audio amplifier to be heard through the speaker.

Lightning strike is one of the phenomenons that can cause damage of properties, badly injury, and also the death. Cause of that, all the buildings which have more than 3 floors, must equip with the lightning conductor. For this project, one investigation have made to the area of Sport Centre of University Science Malaysia, Engineering Campus which doesn’t have the lightning protector. From that investigation, football field 1, football field 2 and rugby field have a high risk of lightning strike. In addition, these fields always full with the student everyday and definitely it is so dangerous. In this project, I have designed the lightning protection system which will protect the people who play at the fields of Sport Center. This system is divided by two sections. First section will responsible to protect the goal side. It is designed with 20 m high of iron net along the field wide. The second section will protect the center of the field. It has 20 meter high of two flag-poles at each side of field. Those flag poles and the iron net are equipped with the earth system for the over-current when the lightning strike occurs. From this project, the risk of lightning strike to people is less and safe for people to play at any time and any weather.
Theory, design, fabrication and testing of capacitive pressure transducer
(2005-03-01)
Virachami, Moganadass
Transducers are predominantly used as sensors, because with a few exceptions, their efficiency of conversion is very low and to achieve a higher efficiency of conversion, transducers need to use the electrical signals to the amplifier. The piezoelectric device (pressure sensing) is also a useful transducer (can be used in either direction). Transducer use of piezoelectric crystals is mainly confined to the conversion between pressure waves in a liquid or gas and electrical AC signals. The conversion of energy from an electrical form into stress can be achieved by the magnetically cored solenoids. Pressure Transducer operates to convert the physical variable pressure into an electrical output signal that is proportional to the pressure measurement. The output supply is in form of current or voltage signals. Standard signals allow combining transducers, controllers, computers or stored program controllers (SPC) of different manufacturers without incurring any problem. The standardization simplifies both works as the manufacturers and also as the designer or any company operating instruments and plants. Capacitive Pressure Transducer operates as a pressure sensing device which senses the changes of capacitance according to the changes of pressure applied to the transducer. The measurement of these changes (output) is defined in form of voltage signal using a special measurement circuit is build out of operational amplifiers, resistors, capacitors and switch. The measurement results and conclusion of the project conducted on the capacitive pressure transducer is presented in the last part of this report together with design of the pressure transducer and the measurement circuit.

Breast cancer is one of the common disease among woman nowadays. Cancer can be detected by using a method called Pap test. This method or test also has a few weaknesses such as blurness and disturbance from any area that undesirable in the process. This will gives effect to the diagnosis and the result that have been done. Through this project, a Pap smear processing image was developed using Borland C++ Builder in order to reduce the weaknesses. At the same time, a technique of enhancing the contrast of the image and filtering has been implemented to the Pap smear image to upgrade the image quality. The filtering process is very useful for any image that has a disturbance while being or after processed. Algorithms that have been used to enhanced the contrast are contrast stretching, bright stretching, dark stretching, histogram equalization and color saturation modification. Algorithms that being used to enhance the filtering processed are high pass filter, low pass filter and also the median filter. This process shows that this technique have successfully enhanced the image quality from the Pap smear images.
Design of power amplifier (pa) front-end transmitter for cdma application at 900mhz using 0.18 micron cmos technology
(2005-03-01)
Zahari, Muhamad Iskandar
Recent efforts in the design of integrated circuits for RF communication transceivers have focused on achieving higher levels of integration by including more and more analog functional blocks onto a single silicon CMOS chip. One of the final blocks that have yet to be successfully integrated is the power amplifier. The power amplifier is the final functional block in the transmit path and its function is to amplify the signal to be transmitted to the required transmit power level. In general, power amplifiers are difficult to integrate in CMOS because of technology limitations that severely limit the efficiency of the power amplifier. This thesis describes theoretical analysis and circuit techniques for the design and implementation of RF Class C power amplifier in CMOS technologies. There are very few methods exist for designing Class C power amplifier in the past, much of the design process has been empirical. The theoretical work in this thesis attempts to describe a method for designing a Class C power amplifier in CMOS without resorting to blind use of a circuit simulator. A 900MHz CMOS power amplifier was designed using Silterra 0.18µm RF MOSFET. This design is simulated using Cadence Design tool. In this simulation, the peak efficiency of the power amplifier was 37.7%. The power amplifier did meet the spectral mask requirements of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) cellular communications system for which it was designed. The power gain that had been achieved is 34.74 dB and meets the power amplifier specification for CDMA application.

This project is implemented to develop a user-friendly health indicator system. The system is a graphical user interface (GUI) built using the Borland C++ Builder software. The system is to assist physicians and other medical personnel to monitor a patient’s vital signs namely the patient’s blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen level concentration in blood and heart beat rate by just glimpsing at one screen instead of having to scrutinize four separate equipments in order to get readings. In general, the system is made up of three main modules which includes; a search module, real-time monitoring module and recovery module. The search module encompasses a box to key in the patient’s name or ID and a search button to locate the patient’s file. The real-time monitoring module shows the current measurements of the health parameters on the screen. Each parameter has an alarm that will flicker should any abnormalities occur. In practical, this system should be hooked up to hardwares that interpret signals acquired from the patient and measurements are stored in a source file. Thus, this system is also implemented to retrieve the measurements from the source file and present it on the screen in numerical and graphical form.

A stepper motor design optimization using
In this project, the design optimization of a stepper motor is presented. In general, the area of study can be divided into motor principles and construction, design methods, and digital control experiments. Theory is taught in classroom lectures, whereas control methods are learned primarily in laboratory situations. Instruction on motor design, however, is usually limited to the study of motor construction, with practically no laboratory time spent on the actual fabrication of motors. The production process, including material processing and winding, would take up too much time and expense. There is a need to fill this void in the area of small-motor design, and develop a program using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) as an approach to achieve optimization. The aim of optimum design in this project is to minimize the volume, weight and cost of stepper motor while keeping constraint variable at the desired value. In order to achieve the optimum design, Genetic Algorithms (GAs) approach has been applied. GAs approach is selected because it is a powerful and broadly applicable stochastic search and optimization techniques that works for many problems that are very difficult to solve by conventional methods. The design optimization procedure of a stepper motor is described in this project. A C++ program has been successfully developed based on the GAs by using the GAs library. This GAs library is a C++ library that contains tools and built-in components for using GAs to minimize the fitness function. In this project, the program that has been developed is run to get the optimization result with Microsoft Visual C++. In order to obtain better results from the program, some of the parameters have to be changed. These include GA parameter that is number of generation and size of population and penalty factor. From the result, it is shown that the objective function is achieved while keeping other constraint function at desired value. This project and successful results have proved the suitability of GA for design optimization of electrical equipment. It is shown that GA can be used to solve complex problems within a short period.
