Small antennas satisfying bandwidth requirements in wideband, broadband and multichannel communication systems are of wide interest among researchers. This paper investigates the resonant behaviour of proximity coupled circular fractal planar monopole against circular fractal planar monopole without proximity coupling. The antennas are fed using microstripline and coplanar waveguide technique. These antennas are designed and printed on low cost FR4 substrate ( height h=1.56mm and εr =4.3) of size 110 mm by 115 mm with circular patch radius of 40 mm. The planar fractal monopole shows multiband characteristics under different configurations of feed. The monopole can be used for various compact applications in 482 MHz to 4 GHz band.

The antenna is designed to operate at 1.5 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.5 GHz bands. It consists of a rectangular patch fed by a microstrip line with two additional arms of different lengths acting as resonators. Simulation results show the antenna achieves impedance matching across bandwidths of 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and 1 GHz at the three frequencies. It has an omnidirectional radiation pattern and gain between 5-6 dBi. The compact triple band design reduces the antenna size by 67% compared to a conventional patch antenna.
The document describes a study investigating copper nanofilm as a radiating patch for antenna applications. A 100nm thick copper nanofilm patch antenna and a 17micron thick bulk copper patch antenna were designed and fabricated on FR4 substrates. The nanofilm antenna was found to have a wider bandwidth (810MHz vs 350MHz for bulk antenna), higher return loss (-13.59dB vs -13.84dB for bulk antenna), and slightly lower gain. The increased bandwidth of the nanofilm antenna makes it suitable for applications requiring high data rate transmission such as wireless LAN. The results encourage the use of metallic nanofilms as radiating elements for antennas to improve bandwidth.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

ABSTRACT
Small antennas satisfying bandwidth requirements in wideband, broadband and multichannel
communication systems are of wide interest among researchers. This paper investigates the resonant
behaviour of proximity coupled circular fractal planar monopole against circular fractal planar monopole
without proximity coupling. The antennas are fed using microstripline and coplanar waveguide technique.
These antennas are designed and printed on low cost FR4 substrate ( height h=1.56mm and εr =4.3) of size
110 mm by 115 mm with circular patch radius of 40 mm. The planar fractal monopole shows multiband
characteristics under different configurations of feed. The monopole can be used for various compact
applications in 482 MHz to 4 GHz band.

1. INTRODUCTION
There is a continuing interest in broadband (BW 2:1) antennas operating over a wide frequency
range to satisfy high data rates in second to fifth generations of communication technologies for
multimedia applications. These systems need low-cost compact antennas with desired
performance characteristics. Few of the examples of such systems are mobile systems in the
second generation (2G) viz. GSM1800 and GSM1900, operating in the frequency bands 1710–
1880 MHz and 1850–1990 MHz, third generation (3G) systems viz. cdma-2000, WCDMA, and
TD-SCDMA operating in frequency band 1920–2170 MHz.
A number of recent books [1–2] and articles [3–15] have surveyed various bandwidth
enhancement techniques. The structural technique for enhancement of bandwidth of an antenna is
continuously evolving. Initially, it has involved primarily the antenna substrate. Now days both
the antenna substrate and its geometry have been targeted towards bandwidth enhancement.
Microstrip patches are modified in shape and incorporated with slots of various sizes and shapes.
The impedance matching techniques using the circuit theory approach are reported for bandwidth
enhancement [1-2]. To facilitate the increased demand for bandwidth, the planar monopoles using
printed circuit boards are also playing important role in various wireless communication
applications due to their low manufacturing cost, and easy integration into planar circuits.

This paper has investigated bandwidth enhancement in proximity coupled printed circular planar
fractal monopole antenna against the printed circular planar fractal monopole without proximity
coupling.
2. DESIGN OF ANTENNA
The designed antenna is a modification of Sierpinski triangular geometry incorporated in a
conventional circular microstrip patch antenna (CMPA) on iterative basis using a designed fractal
generator [13, 15-16]. The fractal generator has been designed by subtracting equilateral triangle
of dimensions 73.5 mm three times from a circle of radius, r = 40 mm as shown in Fig. 1. This
subtraction can be done in three steps 1. Subtract the triangle from circle with vertex of triangle at
0 deg., 2. Subtract triangle with vertex at 90 deg. from the geometry generated in step 1, 3.
Subtract triangle with vertex at 180 deg. from the geometry generated in step 2. The copper patch
has been designed using this generator. This patch is scaled down 4 times to be included in the
larger size iteration i.e. 2nd
iteration is accommodated in 1st
iteration, 3rd
in 2nd
iteration and 4th
in
3rd
iteration to design 4th iterated fractal antenna geometry as shown in Fig. 2.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.1 Reflection loss
The reflection loss or reflection coefficient pattern against varying frequency of the printed
circular fractal planar monopole fed using simple 50 Ω microstripline as seen in Fig. 3a (with full
background) is simulated and measured. The results are compared in Fig. 6. Both, simulated and
measured results are in close agreement with some tolerance. These results clearly indicate the
multiband nature of the monopole. The multiband behaviour of the monopole can be attributed to
self similar iterative fractal nature of the patch. Further, the space filling nature of the monopole
antenna geometry [15] reduces the size of the antenna to become independent of the size
dependent resonance. The resonant frequencies in the antenna are a function of iteration depth.
Increasing iteration depth increases the space filling properties of the fractal patch to affect
compactness in the printed fractal monopole [15]. The measured results of the printed circular
fractal planar monopole fed using simple 50 Ω microstripline with full background (Fig. 3a ) and
partial (Fig. 3b) are compared in Fig. 7. The results show that printed fractal monopole in both the
configurations behaves as multiband antenna. But, with partial ground, the bandwidth associated
with multiple bands becomes wider than with full background. The perturbation in the bandwidth
with background size is attributed to wider impedance matching as seen in Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b
with partial background as compared to full background. The partial background couples the
multiple resonances to justify the broader bandwidth. Further, these coupling effects are not
uniform across the multiple bands. Table 1 shows the variation in bandwidth with partial and full
background in planar circular fractal monopole. With full background, the printed fractal
monopole exhibits maximum bandwidth of 2.95 % (at -10 dB reflection coefficient) compared to

maximum 63.50 % (at -10 dB reflection coefficient) with partial background as seen from Table

exhibits a dual band antenna with wideband properties.

Table 1, Effect of ground size on the bandwidth exhibited by microstrpline fed printed circular planar
fractal monopole without proximity ring.
Now, the printed circular fractal planar monopole is fed using a gap coupled proximity ring with
50 Ω microstripline (Fig. 4b) and the measured results are obtained. These results are compared
with planar circular fractal monopole without the proximity ring (Fig. 3b) in Fig. 9. The lower
frequency shift is observed in proximity ring microstripline fed (partial back ground) monopole
compared to without proximity ring microstripline fed (full background) monopole from 0.860
GHz to 0.681 GHz. This indicates that incorporation of proximity ring and gap coupling
increases the size of the monopole to effect lower frequency shift. Further, the bandwidth in
multiple bands changes with background size as well as inclusion of proximity ring to indicate
their impact on coupled resonance (Fig. 7 and Fig. 8). The proximity concentric ring around the
antenna geometry with 50 ohm transmission line feed increases the bandwidth around the centre
frequencies at 0.681 GHz, 2.21 GHz, 2.94 GHz, 3.36 GHz compared to 0.860 GHz, 2.41 GHz,
3.11 GHz, 3.94 GHz with microstripline without proximity ring.
The improvement in bandwidth has been reported in Table 2. The maximum of 20 % bandwidth
has been noted with gap coupled proximity ring microstripline fed (partial background) planar
fractal printed monopole compared to 2.9 % in microstripline fed (full background) without
proximity ring.Further, the proximity ring planar fractal monopole is fed with 50 Ω CPW line.
The measured and simulated results are obtained in Fig. 10 to find a close match between them.
These results are compared with microstripline fed (partial background) proximity ring planar
circular fractal monopole as shown in Fig. 11. The CPW fed monopole has exhibited multiband
properties with small bandwidth improvements around the same resonating frequencies compared
to microstripline. This indicates that there is minimum impact on coupled resonance of
micropstripline or CPW feed when printed monopole is gap coupled using proximity ring.

3.2 RADIATION PATTERNS
The radiation pattern of the proximity ring fractal antenna fed using microstripline and CPW
technique in azimuthal plane at 0 deg. elevation for four resonant frequencies have been shown in
Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 respectively. These patterns are similar and nearly omni-directional at all the
resonant frequencies. The maximum gains of 2.625 dB using microstripline and around 0 dB
using CPW have been observed.

To obtain further insight, the radiation patterns have been studied comparatively in azimuth as
well as elevation plane at one of the resonant frequency 0.681 GHz for both microstripline and
CPW as shown in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16. These patterns show changes in orientation with change in

4. CONCLUSIONS
The paper emphasizes bandwidth enhancement process in printed planar circular fractal
monopole. The planar circular fractal monopole with gap coupled proximity ring shows
multiband bandwidth enhancement using microstripline as well as CPW feed techniques due to
self-similarity properties in the iterative fractal antenna. The monopole exhibits wideband
characteristics with similar and omni-directional patterns at various resonant frequencies in
azimuth plane. The planar monopole can be used for compact wideband applications. The
compact behavior of the fractal antenna can be attributed to its space filling properties. The
proposed fractal antenna can be fabricated on low cost FR4 substrate material. It is simple in
design and finds applications in various types of compact wireless communications.
