Dissemination methods of tsunami Information in Cilacap uses voice and siren. There are some constraints on the methods, especially in social aspects for particular society. Utilization of electronic information board is one of alternative solutions that can be offered to the society in responding tsunami information or warning. In this paper, a wireless electronic information board is designed to display the tsunami disaster warning visually. In normal condition or when there is no disaster, the information board can be utilized to display the information about evacuation procedure. The proposed electronic information board is implemented in multicolor using three sets of LED dot matrix panel P10 which have 32 x 16 pixels resolution and is controlled using microcontroller. The result showed that this device was capable to show the tsunami information such as “Status Awas”, “Status Siaga”, “Status Waspada”, and “Evacuation Route”.

Window methods that are frequently used in the design of finite impulse response filters are also applicable to antenna array designs. This paper explores the application of a Kaiser function in a power-weighted antenna array design, focusing on the determination of the Kaiser function’s β parameter. The determination, which includes the calculation, optimization, and validation of the β parameter, was carried out based on a specific configuration of a linear antenna array design. The observation of this exploration emphasized the suppression of the sidelobe level (SLL) and the width of main lobe (WML) performance. By changing the β parameter, the Kaiser function is capable of approximating different window methods, since it plays an important role in defining the set of weighting coefficients for a specifically targeted SLL. Kaiser function application in power-weighted antenna array designs with a linear arrangement indicates the need of β parameter optimization because of the disagreement between the obtained SLL and the targeted SLL. The optimized β parameter produced a smaller SLL error for even and odd numbers of elements. From the validation, the average SLL error percentage for a targeted SLL of 25 dB, 35 dB, and 45 dB was 6%, 4.31%, 6.10%, respectively.
