GWO has a high-performance capability of solving constrained, as well as unconstrained optimization problems. In this paper, the beamforming of smart antennas in a code division multiple access system based on the GWO algorithm is investigated. The sidelobe level (SLL) is minimized along with peak sidelobe level reduction, as well as an optimal beam pattern has been accomplished by using GWO to uniform linear antenna arrays. In this work, an amplitude is introduced as constant, while the interspacing distance between antenna array elements and the number of elements in a linear array are variables. The simulation results show that a faster convergence and likely high accurate beamforming are gained using GWO based method. Finally, it is shown that the GWO outperforms the genetic algorithm (GA) based method.

Using smart antenna and beamforming algorithms contributed to that subscribers get a higher-gain signal and better directivity as well as reduce the consumed power for users and the mobile base stations by adjusting the appropriate weights for each element in the antenna array that leads to reducing interference and directing the main beam to wanted user. In this paper, the performance of three of beamforming algorithms in multipath environment in terms of Directivity and side lobe level reduction has been studied and compared, which are least mean square (LMS), genetic algorithm (GA) and grey wolf optimization (GWO) technique. The simulation result appears that LMS algorithm aids us to get the best directivity followed by the GWO, and we may get most sidelobe level reduction by using the GA algorithm, followed by LMS algorithm in second rank.

As cell phone is usually hold next to the head of the user during conversations, hence, much attention must be paid to investigate the health effects produced due to interaction of head tissue with cell phone radiations. This aim of this work is to the implications of cell phone usage on human head through the use of a human head model that composed of multi layers. The human head model was simulated to evaluate the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and determine variation within the head exposed to RF radiations from the cell phone operating at 900 MHz.

This is so because points in the search space correspond to different selections of a PID controller's three parameters. By choosing different points of parameter space, we can produce, for example, different step responses for a step input. A PID controller can be determined by moving in this search space on trial-and-error basis. The main problem in the selection of the three coefficients is that these coefficients do not readily translate into the desired performance and robustness characteristics that the control system designer has in mind. Several rules and methods using root locus and performance indices. The first design uses the Integral of Time multiplied by Absolute Error (ITAE) performance index. Hence we select the three PID coefficients (Ki, Kp, and Kd) to minimize the ITAE performance index, which produces a good transient response to a step input. Our paper uses the Genetic Algorithm (GA). In this method the selection of the three PID coefficients depends on the minimization of the Mean Squared Error (MSE), which will produce an excellent transient response to a step input. : PID Controller, ITAE, and Genetic Algorithm GA.

The core of Retinex computation is clearly specified in recent Matlab implementations. The recent Retinex algorithms use several free parameters to control the enhancement degree. In this paper we introduce a proposed algorithm for image enhancement using Retinex algorithm. The proposed algorithm based on the previous algorithms for Retinex computation, the major difference here is that the main control parameter for enhancement degree (enhancement factor) is computed automatically during processing according to a proposed relation introduced in this paper. The proposed relation depends on the illumination degree of the areas (blocks) of the scene under processing this is useful for very bad illumination scenes or images. This research also shows that the proposed algorithm is useful for the images with medium illumination.
