Assoc. Prof. Dr.Chandan Kumar
Chakrabarty of Universiti Tenaga
Nasional, Putrajaya Campus,
Malaysia obtained his PhD in
1996 in Inductively Coupled RF
Plasma Nitriding from Flinders
University of South Australia.
Prior to that he obtained his
MSc and BSc (Hon) in Physics in
1989 and in 1986 respectively,
both from University of Malaya,
Kuala Lumpur. His current
research area revolves around RF
& Microwave Engineering.
Various types of Electronic
Design Automation (EDA) tools
have been designed and are
currently extensively used in RF
circuit designs. Ever since
their introduction, the EDA
tools have evolved rapidly into
becoming a powerful tool in
order to meet the needs and
requirements in the RF market.
To describe the usage of
schematic simulator, narrowband
filter is constructed and
analyzed. This follows tuning
and optimizing the passive
circuit in achieving the desired
output. Since the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)’s
release of the frequency band
from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz for
commercial communication
application, UWB radio system
has been extensively researched
and experimented. The course
will look at the application of
ultra wideband antenna and
filter. This followed by
demonstration of filter and
antenna radiation simulation
with 3D electromagnetic
simulator. |

Dr Rajendran
Parthiban of Monash
University, Sunway Campus,
Malaysia, completed his
Bachelor of Engineering with
first class honours in 1997,
and his PhD in optical
networks in 2004 from the
University of Melbourne,
Australia. His research
interests are in design and
management of optical and
wireless sensor networks,
application of photonics in
biomedical engineering, and
radio-frequency
identification (RFID)
technology.
This tutorial covers the
fundamentals of queuing
theory and self-similar
traffic. It explains how
these concepts can be
applied in relation to
network dimensioning. The
course also describes how to
formulate network
dimensioning problems in
general. It then briefly
discusses how these problems
can be solved using
heuristic algorithms. The
course extends these general
network dimensioning methods
to optical backbone networks
that include both circuit
switched and burst switched
networks. The topics also
include ways that can be
used to compare different
optical backbone network
architectures. |

Dr. Zulfadzli
Yusoff graduated from the
Department of Electronics,
University of York, U.K., in
1999 and in 2004, received
his Ph.D. degree in
photonics from the
Optoelectronics Research
Center (ORC), University of
Southampton, U.K. He is
currently a senior lecturer
with the Faculty of
Engineering, Multimedia
University, Cyberjaya,
Malaysia.
Microstructured optical
fiber (MOF) is a new class
of optical fiber with micron
scale structures. Sometimes
it is also referred to as
photonic crystal fiber (PCF)
as its principle is based on
that of photonic crystals.
Because of its confinement
characteristics not possible
in conventional optical
fiber, MOF is now finding
applications in fiber-optic
communications, fiber
lasers, nonlinear devices,
high-power transmission,
highly sensitive gas
sensors, and other areas.
This short tutorial will
look at the history of MOF,
discussing its interesting
optical properties including
nonlinearity, dispersion,
polarization,
air-light-overlap,
fabrication, and material as
well as looking at some of
the practical applications
of MOF in various fields.

Dr. Razali
Jidin is currently an
Associate Professor at the
College of Engineering
(COE), Universiti Tenaga
Nasional. Dr. Razali
obtained his PhD from
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, USA, in 2005 from
the Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer
Science. His current
research interests are
embedded system,
applications of field
programmable logic arrays (FPGA)
and hardware-software
co-design.
This tutorial aims to
introduce FPGA technology,
what is reconfigurable logic
or filed programmable logic
arrays (FPGA) technology,
give an overview of current
CPU/FPGA devices covering
on-chip resources, design
tools to implement designs
on FPGA (design entry,
synthesis and
implementation), software
radio on FPGA, an
introduction to HDL
(Hardware Descriptive
Language) to implement a
design on FPGA devices,
hardware descriptive
language and software radio
implementation to leverage
FPGA architecture and last
but not least, an
introduction to Computer
Aided Tools (CAD) to program
FPGA. |
