By definition, a remote laboratory is the use of telecommunication to remotely conduct laboratory experiments with real measuring devices and real objects of investigation. Remote laboratory allows users to send control commands which can be pre-processed in order to prevent damage to real expensive equipment, to execute experiments in a real laboratory, and then collect …
The Cars of the Future
More and more people own cars nowadays. As roads become more populated, the chance of accidents also increases. With the rising trend of global road accidents per annum, it poses a tremendous concern among stakeholders ranging from car manufacturers to consumers. The damage caused by road accidents are considered a "global tragedy" where millions of …
5G in Malaysia: Progress and Challenges (Part II)
In previous article, the technical challenge/obstacle concerning the coexistence with incumbent services was mentioned. The 3.5GHz band (C-band) identified for 5G network is currently utilized by Malaysia East Asia Satellite (MEASAT) for their operational satellites, of which installation and testing of equipment for a satellite control station is set on Langkawi Island. MEASAT-3, MEASAT-3a, and …

Malaysia is poised to benefit from a 10-year 5G partnership between Ericsson and Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) to drive the nationwide deployment of the next-generation wireless cellular technology in Malaysia. Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) which is wholly owned by the Minister of Finance (Incorporated) and is licensed under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (the …
Designing Matched Bandstop Filter for Very High Frequency (VHF) Band
A high-performance filter is always desired for wireless communication systems and applications. However, its performance is limited by the technology used to realize the filter due to the inevitable losses inherited from each technology. For instance, microstrip filters experience higher loss compared to coaxial or waveguide types which have higher inherent quality factor (Q-factor) up …

Use Git to Work Together
Imagine you are working in a team to write a book and some of your team members are working on chapter 1 while others are assigned to work on chapter 2. After each writer completes their assigned chapter, the works can now be merged into one complete book. This method however has a risk. While …
The Challenge of Using SCPI Commands
In my previous article, I introduced SCPI commands and their applications. The original idea of SCPI is to specify a common syntax, command structure, and data formats to be used by all test and measurement instruments. It does so by introducing many subsystem keywords for interfacing such as SYSTem and CONFigure. These intermediatory keywords helps the developers …
