    In this study, we examined the effect of phase noise on the optical millimeter-wave (mmwave) signal in a dense wavelength division multiplexing radio-over-fiber (DWDM-RoF) system. A single modulator was used to generate the optical mm-wave signal in the DWDM-RoF system. This paper addresses the impact of phase noise, which results from phase imbalance, on the optical mm-wave signal. To lower the effect of phase noise on the optical mm-wave signal, the phase imbalance should be controlled. The phase imbalance can be controlled and decreased by adjusting the phase at the phase shift (PS). The system performance was analyzed using various parameters such as bit error rate (BER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), and error vector magnitude (EVM). From the results, we found the phase imbalance affected the optical mm-wave signal due to the imbalanced splitting of the signal intensity at the MZM. The phase imbalance impacts the phase noise, which impacts the optical mm-wave signal. The phase noise could be decreased by controlling the phase imbalance at the phase of 5Ï€/12. The best results at the phase of 5Ï€/12 were collected for phase noise at 0.02 degrees.

    Determination of basic soil macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) that dissolve from organic matter (OM) prior to the plantation of fruit and vegetable corps is one of the important process of soil preparation towards precision farming. In this paper comparative analysis is performed for detection algorithm on OM, (N) and (P) sample using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) spectrometer in reflective mode with an effective range of 900nm to 1700nm. In pre-processing we execute data dimension reduction by combining multiple feature selection such as data normalization, permutation feature importance, principle component analysis, fisher linear discriminant and filter-based feature selection. Pre-processing able to reduce 50% data dimension. For prediction model development we combine with multiple classification algorithm such as multiclass decision jungle, decision forest, logistic regression and neural network to come out with highest accuracy of N and P detection. We conclude that near infrared spectroscopy combines with feature selection and multiclass classification able to determine nitrogen and phosphorus.

    Harumanis mango quality demanded by consumers is depending on the sweetness level of the fruit. The sweetness is evaluated by brix percentage using refractometer as a representative factor correlated with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy spectral absorbance. NIR spectroscopy method of sampling have been tested to overcome the time consuming, complex chemical analysis more importantly invasive sampling methods in order to determine the sugar content in mangoes. Spectral absorbance data from range 941 nm to 1685 nm of mango skin is correlated with Brix reading then tested through five pre-processing techniques. Data calibration and prediction of both data is evaluated using Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) model. In the final analysis, Unit vector normalization (UVN) technique has achieved as a best pre-processing technique for predicting results, with the coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.9836 and root mean square error (RMSE) values of 0.3131. Overall, the correlation of NIRS absorbance data and Brix data can be obtained using PLSR model with UVN pre-processing technique. Henceforth, we can conclude that the NIRS method of sampling can be used to identify sugar content in Harumanis mango by using time saving, non-invasive and less laborious method of sampling.

    A new class of two-dimensional (2-D) modified-FCC (M-FCC) OCDMA for cardinality enrichment towards 6G network accessibility
    In this paper, we introduce a new two-dimensional (2-D) wavelength/time optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) known as 2D Modified-Flexible Cross Correlation (M-FCC) code. The 2-D M-FCC code is developed from the one-dimensional flexible cross correlation code families with flexibility in-phase cross-correlation at any given number of users and weights. The main goal is to reduce noise as well as multiple-access interference (MAI) at the same time to accommodate higher cardinality with minimum noise. The increment of cardinality is to be engaged towards 6G network accessibility. From the numerical results, it indicated good performance whereas the 2-D M-FCC code at bit rate 622 Mbps with at BER of 3.49 ×10-28, can accommodate 200 number of cardinalities enrichment. Moreover, the 2-D M-FCC code shows good SNR curves as gradually decreases as the number of users increases at different bit rate 155 Mbps, 622 Mbps, 1.1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps, respectively.

    Wireless connectivity is a critical enabler for many IoT applications. Antennas are often required to be installed inside the device cover, which usually occurs in small sizes with optimal performance. On the other hand, a suitable antenna should also have high efficiency, gain and adequate bandwidth covering the desired frequency range. Here, we proposed new type of Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) with miniaturized resonator element to enhance the gain of an CPW antenna. Furthermore, the miniaturization of the Frequency Selective Surface unit cell is attained by coupling the two meandered wire resonators. The wire resonator is separated by thin and single substrate layer. The structure of the FSS is shown to have a FSS unit cell dimension that is miniaturized to 0.057λ. The CPW antenna size is only 28.8mm × 46.5mm operating at 2.45 GHz frequency. With the additional of the FSS, the antenna's gain reaches up from 1.8 dBi to 2.6 dBi with omnidirectional radiation pattern.

    This paper presents a Dual-sideband Optical Carrier Suppression (DSB-OCS) technique which is used to generate an optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal in radio over fiber (RoF) systems. The proposed system employs a Dual-Electrode Mach-Zehnder Modulator (DE-MZM) and a carrier of 40 GHz mm-wave for data transmission through the RoF systems. Characteristics determining the performance of the system, among which are the modulation index, phase imbalance and dispersion parameters, are included. The performance evaluations of the system show that the mm-wave signal output power follows MZM’s transfer function when the modulation index is raised. Moreover, the generated optical mm-wave signal power is affected by phase imbalance and optical splitting ratio. It is observed that the optical fiber dispersion influences the DSB-OCS system by decreasing the amplitude of the mm-wave and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

    Due to the increasing numbers of vehicles in the world which results in a rise in traffic density, smart city is seeking to minimize transportation problems such as accidents. To solve this issue, VANET has been developed to improve vehicles’ mobility and provide a safe city. VANET is a type of wireless technology which provides vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructures (V2I) communication system. Despite the advantages of VANET, it faces a lot of challenges; security and privacy, for instance, are the most critical ones. In this paper, we implement an approach used in Optical CDMA system given its success in optical domain. This technique is based on the 2D ZCC/MD code which is characterized by zero cross-correlation property. The transmission system is based on the VLC system, in which the information will circulate in optic domain using light in free space. The proposed system can provide the security and the privacy due to the 2D ZCC/MD code which assigns each user by a specific unique code.

    Nutrient composition in soil analysis is investigated by using nitrogen (N) in form of nitrate (NO3-) as a representative factor correlated with NIR spectroscopy spectral absorbance. NIR spectroscopy method of sampling has been tested to overcome time consuming, complex chemical analysis procedure and invasive sampling method in order to identify nitrate content in soil samples. Spectral absorbance data from range 950 nm to 1650 nm correlated with nitrate reading then tested through few pre-processing techniques. Five techniques have been listed as top performer, which are Multiplicative Scatter Correction using Common Offset (MSCCO), Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC), Range Normalization (RN), Mean Normalization (MN) and Reduced (R) technique. Data calibration and prediction of both data is evaluated using Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) model. In the final analysis, R technique has achieved as top performer pre-processing technique for both calibration and prediction results, with the coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.9991 and root mean square error (RMSE) values of 0.0886 for prediction. Overall, the correlation of NIRS absorbance data and nitrate can be obtained using PLSR model with R pre-processing technique. Henceforth, we can conclude that the NIRS method of sampling can be used to identify nitrate content in soil analysis by using time saving, non-invasive and less laborious method of sampling.

    Performance Analysis of Coherent Source SAC OCDMA in Free Space Optical Communication Systems
    In this paper, we investigate the performance of spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC OCDMA) systems under the effect of beat noise and turbulence. Three different multi-laser source configurations are considered in this analysis: shared multi-laser, separate multi-laser, and carefully controlled center frequency separate multi-laser. We demonstrate through Monte Carlo simulation that the gamma–gamma probability density function (pdf) cannot adequately approximate the measured intensity of overlapping lasers and that an empirical pdf is required. Results also show it is possible to achieve error-free transmission at a symmetrical data rate of 10 Gbps for all active users when only beat noise is taken into account by precisely controlling the center frequencies. However, only 30% of the active users can be supported when both beat noise and turbulence are considered.

    Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and radio over fiber (RoF) are promising technologies that are able to provide unlimited transmission capacity, which meets the growing demands of bandwidth in communication systems. In this paper, an architecture for DWDM-RoF access networks uses a single Mach Zehnder modulator (MZM) to generate the mm-wave signal. This paper aims to study the effect of phase imbalance on the mm-wave signal to reduce the insertion loss in the system. It is found that the phase imbalance affects the insertion loss. The phase imbalance can be controlled by adjusting the injected phase, and the best result is collected at π 3 and 5π 12 phases.
