How can I put the first two tables side by side and then add the 3rd table below them in IEEEtrans style document class and at the top/bottom of the page by modifying code below? (I don't want any other manuscript text go in between them) Thanks in advance.

Edit: @Torbjørn T. But, it is running without error on TeXnicCenter.
