Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) units are one of the most power-hungry devices in the radio-frequency (RF) chains of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Therefore, utilizing low-resolution ADCs in uplink massive MIMO systems is a practical solution to decrease power consumption. However, when high modulation orders are employed for high-rate communication, the achievable rate saturates after a finite SNR value due to the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon. This thesis proposes a novel pseudo-random quantization (PRQ) scheme that can help compensate for the effects of SR and makes communication with high-order modulation schemes with one-bit quantization possible. The ADC thresholds at the receiver side of uplink one-bit massive MIMO systems are changed to work with the PRQ scheme. We modify linear detectors for one-bit non-zero threshold quantization and propose new detection methods for the frequency-flat and frequency-selective fading scenarios. For flat fading, we offer a two-stage detector that works with PRQ. The first stage is an iterative method called Boxed Newton Detector (BND) that utilizes Newton's method to maximize the log-likelihood. The second stage, Nearest Codeword Detector (NCD), exploits the first stage to create a small set of most likely candidates based on sign constraints to increase performance. For frequency-selective fading, we design a new frequency-domain equalization (FDE) scheme, called the projected quasi-Newton detector (PQND), to optimize the log-likelihood using a quasi-Newton approach that works with PRQ in both orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and single carrier (SC) systems. The proposed methods outperform the existing detectors with comparable complexity.

Operating principles and practical design aspects of all SiC DC/AC/DC converter for MPPT in grid-connected PV supplies ÖZTÜRK, SERKAN; Popos, Polat; Utalay, Volkan; Koc, Atila; Ermiş, Muammer; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK (2018-12-01) A 20 kW, 20 kHz high frequency (HF) link maximum power point tracking (MPPT) converter for a grid-connected PV supply, based on all silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, is presented. In the developed converter, SiC power MOSFETs are used in the low-voltage PV panel side and SiC Schottky diodes on the high-voltage DC output, in order to maximize the power conversion efficiency and the power density. Operating principles of the resulting dual H-bridge MPPT converter and the practical aspects of the con...
Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for maximum efficiency operation Acik, A; Cadirci, I (1998-05-22) An active-clamped, zero-voltage switched forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier is designed and implemented for some low output voltage applications where maximized efficiency is of utmost importance. The converter efficiency is maximized due to soft-switching of the main, active clamp and the synchronous rectifier MOSFET switches. Experimental results are presented for a converter with a de input voltage of 48V, an output voltage of 5V and a de electronic load up to 10A. The ...
Oversampling in One-Bit Quantized Massive MIMO Systems and Performance Analysis Üçüncü, Ali Bulut; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2018-12-01) Low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have attracted much attention lately for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication and systems with large bandwidth. Especially, 1-bit ADCs are suitable for such systems due to their low-power consumption and cast. In this paper, we illustrate the benefits of using faster than symbol rate (FTSR) sampling in an uplink massive MIMO system with 1-bit ADCs in terms of symbol error rate (SER). We show that the FTSR sampling provides about 5-dB ...
Sinus Output 3-Phase Inverter Topology for Improved Drive Efficiency Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2014-09-24) Traditionally electrical drives and uninterruptable power supplies generate pulse width modulated outputs. Harmonic content of such waveforms are known to cause problems. Therefore, it is worthwhile to investigate 3-phase sinus output topologies, which can compete with traditional inverter topologies, regarding performance and cost. In this paper, first some topologies for producing single-phase sinus output are reviewed. Then, the possibility of using these single-phase units for producing 3-phase output i...
Sequential Linear Detection in One-Bit Quantized Uplink Massive MIMO with Oversampling Üçüncü, Ali Bulut; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2018-01-01) Owing to their low power consumption and cost, employing 1-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADC) in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has attracted significant attention, which resulted in such systems to be examined widely in the recent literature. In our previous studies, benefits of temporal oversampling in 1-bit quantized uplink massive MIMO systems is investigated by employing a high complexity zero-forcing (ZF) detector. In this study, we propose a sequential linear receiver as an...
