Noncoherent differential demodulation of CPM signals with joint frequency offset and symbol timing estimation
Çulha, Onur; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, noncoherent differential demodulation of CPM signals with joint carrier frequency offset and symbol timing estimation is investigated. CPM is very attractive for wireless communications owing to major properties: good spectral efficiency and a constant envelope property. In order to demodulate the received CPM signal differentially, the symbol timing and the carrier frequency offset have to be estimated accurately. There are numerous methods developed for the purpose. However, we have not en...
Progressive failure analysis of composite shells
Olcay, Yasemin; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the progressive failure behavior of laminated fiber reinforced composite shell structures under different loading conditions. The laminates are assumed to be orthotropic and the first order shear deformation theory is applied. Three-node layered flat-shell elements are used in the analysis. To verify the numerical results obtained, experimental and analytical results found in literature are compared with the outputs of the study, and the comparison is found to ...
Nonuform pulse repetition interval optimization for pulse doppler radars
Mercan, Hasan; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, a method of optimization of nonuniform pulse repetition interval for pulse Doppler radars is investigated. PRI jittering technique is used for the selection of inter-pulse intervals. An environment with white Gaussian noise and clutter interference is defined and applying generalized likelihood ratio test, a sufficient statistic function for the detection of the target is derived. The effect of jitter set selection on range and Doppler ambiguity resolution and clutter rejection is investigat...
Mutual coupling calibration of antenna arrays for direction-of-arrival estimation
Aksoy, Taylan; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
An antenna array is an indispensable portion of a direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation operation. A number of error sources in the arrays degrade the DOA estimation accuracy. Mutual coupling effect is one of the main error sources and should be corrected for any antenna array. In this thesis, a system theoretic approach is presented for mutual coupling characterization of antenna arrays. In this approach, the idea is to model the mutual coupling effect through a simple linear transformation between the mea...
Multi-tone representation of arbitrary waveforms and application to the analysis of nonlinear amplifiers and feedforward linearizers
Mutlu, Ahmet; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Characterization of nonlinear systems is a challenging task as the output can not be expressed simply in terms of input signal. Therefore, a universal analysis method is essential to simplify this procedure. Modeling of the input signal is a crucial part of such analysis. In this thesis, multi-tone representation is employed to model arbitrary, stochastically not well-defined input signals and thereafter characterize nonlinear systems. In order to verify the validity of multitone representation, multi-tone ...
