    A nine bit comb shaped delay line consisting of Mach Zhender Interferometer (MZI) and MMI coupler is realized on Silicon platform at 1550nm.The device spans 35μm and offers a variable delay from 5fs to 40fs.Simulated Insertion loss of the device is -25dB. FDTD method is used for the analysis. The delayed signal is fed to the antenna array and the variation in the radiation pattern is observed

    Abrupt Scene Change Detection

    A number of automated shot-change detection methods for indexing a video sequence to facilitate browsing and retrieval have been proposed in recent years. This paper emphasizes on the simulation of video shot boundary detection using one of the methods of the color histogram wherein scaling of the histogram metrics is an added feature. The difference between the histograms of two consecutive frames is evaluated resulting in the metrics. Further scaling of the metrics is performed to avoid ambiguity and to enable the choice of apt threshold for any type of videos which involves minor error due to flashlight, camera motion, etc. Two sample videos are used here with resolution of 352 X 240 pixels using color histogram approach in the uncompressed media. An attempt is made for the retrieval of color video. The simulation is performed for the abrupt change in video which yields 90% recall and precision value

    Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a frequency division multiplexing scheme utilized as a digital multi-carrier modulation technique, implemented using optical fiber link for practical applications thereby developing optical OFDM using OptSim simulation. OFDM has many advantages over other modulation techniques such as a high resistance to inter-symbol interference (ISI) and it is robust against fading caused by multipath propaga­tion. Optical fiber cable (OFC) as a transmission media is used for distortion less transmission of data at a very higher data speed. OFC cable has a lot of advantages over other media. And OFDM over OFC cable will provide data speeds at a very high speed and with very less losses. In this work opti­cal transmitter and receiver for OFDM based optical network has designed for high speed data transmission over optical fiber. While modeling the sys­tem we have also used post,,pre and symmetric compensation technique to reconfigure the bandwidth along with add drop multiplexer,tunable filters and optical amplifiers to achieve high performance with minimum distortion and low bit error rate (BER).DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i5.526
