The P3 Intersection Graph

We define a new graph operator called the P3 intersection graph, P3(G)- the intersection graph of all induced 3-paths in G. A characterization of graphs G for which P-3 (G) is bipartite is given . Forbidden subgraph characterization for P3 (G) having properties of being chordal , H-free, complete are also obtained . For integers a and b with a > 1 and b > a - 1, it is shown that there exists a graph G such that X(G) = a, X(P3( G)) = b, where X is the chromatic number of G. For the domination number -y(G), we construct graphs G such that -y(G) = a and -y (P3(G)) = b for any two positive numbers a > 1 and b. Similar construction for the independence number and radius, diameter relations are also discussed.

Abstract. The edge C4 graph E4(G) of a graph G has all the edges of Gas its vertices, two vertices in E4(G) are adjacent if their corresponding edges in G are either incident or are opposite edges of some C4. In this paper, characterizations for E4(G) being connected, complete, bipartite, tree etc are given. We have also proved that E4(G) has no forbidden subgraph characterization.

GALLAI AND ANTI-GALLAI GRAPHS OF A GRAPH

Abstract. The paper deals with graph operators-the Gallai graphs and the anti-Gallai graphs. We prove the existence of a finite family of forbidden subgraphs for the Gallai graphs and the anti-Gallai graphs to be H-free for any finite graph H. The case of complement reducible graphs-cographs is discussed in detail. Some relations between the chromatic number, the radius and the diameter of a graph and its Gallai and anti-Gallai graphs are also obtained.

Investigations on broadband planar monopole and slot radiators and their suitability for UWB applications

In recent years, there is a visible trend for products/services which demand seamless integration of cellular networks, WLANs and WPANs. This is a strong indication for the inclusion of high speed short range wireless technology in future applications. In this context UWB radio has a significant role to play as an extension/complement to existing cellular/access technology. In the present work, we have investigated two major types of wide band planar antennas: Monopole and Slot. Four novel compact broadband antennas, suitable for poratble applications, are designed and characterized, namely 1. Elliptical monopole 2. Inverted cone monopole 3. Koch fractal slot 4. Wide band slot The performance of these designs have been studied using standard simulation tools used in industry/academia and they have been experimentally verified. Antenna design guidelines are also deduced by accounting the resonances in each structure. In addition to having compact sized, high efficiency and broad bandwidth antennas, one of the major criterion in the design of impulse-UWB systems have been the transmission of narrow band pulses with minimum distortion. The key challenge is not only to design a broad band antenna with constant and stable gain but to maintain a flat group delay or linear phase response in the frequency domain or excellent transient response in time domain. One of the major contributions of the thesis lies in the analysis of the frequency and time-domain response of the designed UWB antennas to confirm their suitability for portable pulsed-UWB systems. Techniques to avoid narrowband interference by engraving narrow slot resonators on the antenna is also proposed and their effect on a nano-second pulse have been investigated.

Investigations on the Radiation Characteristics of Planar Printed UWB Antennas With Modified Ground Planes

A major challenge in the transmission of narrow pulses is the radiation characteristics of the antenna. Designing the front ends for UWB systems pose challenges compared to their narrow and wide band counterparts because in addition to having electrically small size, high efficiency and band width, the antenna has to have excellent transient response. The present work deals with the design of four novel antenna designs- Square Monopole, Semi-Elliptic Slot, Step and Linear Tapered slot - and an assay on their suitability in UWB Systems. Multiple resonances in the geometry are matched to UWB by redesigning the ground-patch interfaces. Techniques to avoid narrow band interference is proposed in the antenna level and their effect on a nano second pulse have also been investigated. The thesis proposes design guidelines to design the antenna on laminates of any permittivity and the analyzes are complete with results in the frequency and time domains.
