A multi-relay cooperative diversity protocol based on the concept of Generalized Spatial Modulation (GSM) scheme is proposed in this paper, assuming that decode-and-forward relaying protocol is adopted at relays. This scheme is referred to as Distributed Generalized Spatial Modulation (DGSM) with activating more than one relay. The system performance of the proposed diversity protocol in terms of the Symbol Error Rate (SER) is evaluated and compared to the performance of GSM and Distributed Spatial Modulation (DSM) schemes. Simulation results show that DGSM systems with activating more than one relay perform almost the same as DSM systems for the same spectral efficiency. It is also demonstrated that a performance enhancement of about 3 dB is achieved over GSM schemes for the same modulation order, which increases the energy efficiency and the reachability using the proposed model. Therefore, the proposed scheme can be effectively used in various 5G wireless networks.

In this paper, imposing the Hadamard Transform (HDT) on Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC) schemes using multiple transmit antennas is proposed in order to increase the reliability and improve the error performance of wireless communications. It is referred to as joint Hadamard transform and OSTBC schemes with multiple transmit antennas. However, HDT is used to change the location of constellation points by converting the transmit symbols of OSTBC system, and hence extending the Euclidean distance between transmit symbols for a precise detection. Simulation results demonstrated that increasing the number of transmit antennas in OSTBC systems employing 8-PSK improves the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance as in the case of OSTBC 2×2 scheme where an SNR of about 13.5 dB is required to achieve a BER of 〖10〗^(-6), while only about 7 dB in OSTBC 8×8 scheme is required to obtain the same error probability. It is also demonstrated that imposing the Hadamard criteria on the OSTBC 2×2, 4×4, and 8×8 schemes has showed a performance improvement of about 3 dB, 6 dB and 9 dB, respectively, as compared to the conventional OSTBC systems.

تقدم هذه الأطروحة برنامج حاسوبي تفاعلي لتصميم خطوط النقل الكهربائي ثلاثية الأطوار باستخدام MATLAB. يمكن استخدام هذا البرنامج كوسيلة تعليمية داخل وخارج الفصل الدراسي لشرح أساسيات و ضواهر خطوط النقل الكهربائي.تتناول اغلب الكتب المرجعية المتاحة حاليا لمحتويات خطوط النقل التصميم الكهربائي فقط ولهذا السبب فان اغلب طلاب هندسة القوى الكهربائية يتخرجون من الجامعة وبدون دراية كافية عن الجزء المتعلق بالتصميم الميكانيكي والمتمثل في حسابات ارتخاء الخط والشد على الأبراج وزيادة وزن الموصلات نتيجة لتجمع الثلوج أو زيادة سرعة الرياح وتغير كل من ذلك مع درجات حرارة الجو. كما أن هذا البرنامج مزود ببعض البرامج الإضافية الأخرى والمتمثلة في حسابات قيم سعات ومتحاثات خطوط النقل أخدا في الاعتبار السلك الأرضي. كما أن هذا البرنامج يمكن استخدامه لمعرفة المعاوقات والسعات التسلسلية ( الصفرية والموجبة).وقد تم تزويد هدا البرنامج بقاعدة بيانات تحتوى على مواصفات شاملة للعديد من الموصلات المستخدمة في خطوط النقل الكهربائي.كما أن هذا البرنامج يمكن استخدامه لحسابات شدة المجال الكهربائي حول الموصلات وبالقرب من الأرض. Abstract This thesis presents an interactive computer program for three phase overhead transmission line design using MATALB. This program can be used as a self learning tool to understand the course material offered in class and to enhance students understanding to the three phase transmission line subject. This first course is normally given as a core course to all electrical engineering students. Most of the existing text books in power system analysis nowadays cover the Electrical line design only and describe the line performance very efficiently with very few power text books which treat the mechanical line design part. Therefore electrical engineering students with power engineering major are often graduated from school without having sufficient background concerning the mechanical line design features such as; line sag, the mechanical tension at the tower and the conductor sag due to temperature variations or line loading, conductor thermal limit ….etc. The program is also equipped with an additional feature to compute the line sequence impedances and the line sequence capacitances. Other line features are also provided in this package such as ; thermal limit line calculation, line voltage stability phenomena and the electrical field calculation due to transmission line. Therefore using this program the students will then be able to compute the line sequence parameters for both the single circuit as well as the double circuit tower configuration, with and without ground wire. The package has been also provided with a built in data base library to most of the available power line conductors. Therefore power engineering students will then be able to understand the transmission line course contents in more depth and to use the other supporting program modules as a self learning tool for line design and line modeling performance.
