Design a reconfigurable dipole antenna, which is able to reconfigure between three different frequency bands: 3.5 GHz, 4 GHz, and 5 GHz.

Simulation Project
Specifications and Requirements
ELEC875
Choose any ONE of these task:
A. Design a reconfigurable dipole antenna, which is able to reconfigure between three different frequency bands: 3.5 GHz, 4 GHz, and 5 GHz.
B. Design a reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna, which is able to reconfigure between two different frequency bands. The first band should be 2.5 GHz and the second band should be 5 GHz.
Specifications
Simulation Projects can be conducted “individually” or in a group of “two
students”. Under no circumstances, more than two students are permitted in
a group.
For task A, following are the specifications
1. Use copper material for any metallic parts
2. Thickness of the dipole should be no more than ?/15
3. Switch to be used: PINN Diode (for specifications and lumped element data, you can select any supplier provided you include the datasheet in your submitted zip folder)
4. Only one port should be used to feed the dipole
Specifications
Simulation Projects can be conducted “individually” or in a group of “two
students”. Under no circumstances, more than two students are permitted in a
group.
For task B, following are the specifications
1. Substrate: Rogers RT/Duriod 5880 (lossy)
2. Thickness of the substrate: 1.6mm
3. Switch to be used: PINN Diode (for specifications and lumped element data, you can select any supplier provided you include the datasheet in your submitted zip folder)
4. Only one feeding point should be used, e.g., microstrip transmission line or coaxial probe
5. Input impedance should be referenced to 50-ohms
Requirements
You are required to present the following results during Demo (for the chosen task):
1. Initial antenna design for each case and its input impedance in frequency domain (No Reconfiguration)
2. Briefly explain mechanism chosen to achieve reconfiguration and design choices
3. Relevant results (e.g. input impedance in frequency domain, radiation pattern, etc) for both, ON and OFF states, assuming only resistive lumped elements
4. Relevant results (e.g. input impedance in frequency domain, radiation pattern, etc) for both, ON and OFF states, assuming realistic lumped element models using data-sheets
5. Comparison between the results of resistive lumped elements and realistic lumped elements, and justifications/recommendations to improve the design model
Evaluation and Deliverables
• Simulation Project Demonstration and Viva will take as specified in iLearn using the usual room.
• Please have all your Project files open on the PCs on the day, ready for demo.
Ensure that you copy the results folders and bring it along on the day so that the
simulations need not be executed during the viva and the results are readily
available. For instance, after copying, your files should be similar to:

Evaluation and Deliverables
• Before attending the viva, you must upload all your .CST files as one zipped folder through iLearn. In this step, do not include the results folders, only the design files are required. For instance:

Grade Expectation
HD Student demonstrates excellent understanding of simulation software and modelling processes. Command on reconfigurable design is evident and simulation models are perfectly working. Student clearly understands the results and confidently analyses them. Student presents a solid argument about design choices and demonstrates excellent understanding of modelling tools.
D Student demonstrates very good understanding of simulation software and modelling processes. Familiarity with reconfigurable design is demonstrated and a simulation model is well developed relative to opportunity. Student clearly understands the results and analyses are appropriately conveyed. Student is confident about the design choices and demonstrates fluency in modelling tools.
Cr Student demonstrates good understanding of simulation software and modelling processes. Familiarity with reconfigurable design is demonstrated and a simulation model is well developed relative to opportunity. Student understands the results.
P Student demonstrates basic understanding of simulation software and modelling processes. Familiarity with reconfigurable design is demonstrated and a simulation model is presented, adhering to the specifications. Student is able to interpret the results.
F Student does not demonstrate understanding of the simulation software and modelling processes. Model is flawed and no appropriate simulation results produced. Student is not able to interpret the results and justifications are flawed.

Should pit bull terriers be banned in my community

 Discussion Forum: Counterarguments (Should pit bull terriers be banned in my community) You created a question about the topic for your W6 Rough Draft. For this discussion, you will give an answer to that question in the form of a thesis statement. "Dieting Makes People Fat" Main Post: Share your thesis statement with your classmates. Please note: As with last week’s discussion, nothing here is set in stone. Be open to changing everything about your topic, including your position and audience, as you research it and get feedback from your classmates. Topic + Position/Purpose + Supporting Points =Thesis Statement Example: Suppose the question you posed in the Week 5 discussion was something like, “Should pit bull terriers be banned in my community?” After doing some preliminary research, you have concluded that pit bulls, if raised properly, are no more dangerous than other breeds of dogs. Your thesis statement can be something like, “Pitbulls should not be banned

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.

 Start by reading and following these instructions: Create your Assignment submission and be sure to cite your sources, use APA style as required, and check your spelling. Assignment: Recommendations Document Due Week 6 (100 pts) Main Assignment Recommendations Document The 1250 to 1500-word deliverable for this week is an initial draft of your recommendations. Note that this is a working document and may be modified based on insights gained in module eight and your professor's feedback. This document should contain the following elements: Summary of your problem or opportunity definition A list of possible recommendation alternatives. In this section, you are not yet at the point of suggesting the best set of recommendations but you are trying to be creative and explore all the different ways that the problem or opportunity might best be addressed. The end result here will be a list of alternatives among which you will choose your final recom
