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 modeling concept is primarily applied to real life amplifier characterization in single amplifier configuration. This experiment demonstrated potential of multi-tone modeling concept in nonlinear system characterization and encouraged application of the concept to analysis of feedforward linearizers, which are complicated systems due to the presence of two nonlinear amplifiers and the requirement of strict amplitude, phase and delay matching within two loops of the circuit. It has been assumed that main and error amplifiers can be modeled with third order AM/AM nonlinearities and there exists no delay mismatch within the loops. Hence, closed form expressions relating the main and adjacent channel power at the output of the feedforward system to the system parameters are obtained. The developed model is verified by RF and system simulations. As a result, a mathematical handy tool to specify circuit parameters rapidly for optimum linearity performance and efficiency is achieved.

Nonlinear estimation techniques applied to econometric problems
Aslan, Serdar; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
This thesis considers the filtering and prediction problems of nonlinear noisy econometric systems. As a filter/predictor, the standard tool Extended Kalman Filter and new approaches Discrete Quantization Filter and Sequential Importance Resampling Filter are used. The algorithms are compared by using Monte Carlo Simulation technique. The advantages of the new algorithms over Extended Kalman Filter are shown.
Chaotic digital modulation and demodulation
Öztürk, Uygar; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
This thesis considers a communication system with chaotic modulation. Noise-like signals are generated by chaotic systems with different parameters to modulate binary digital signals. Demodulation is performed by both the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Optimum Decoding Based Smoothing Algorithm (ODSA). Simulations are performed using both of these algorithms for different parameters affecting the performance of the communication system. Simulation results of these algorithms are compared.
Interception techniques for direct sequence spread spectrum signals
Karadeniz, Uygar; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this work interception and spreading sequence estimation of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals, in low signal to noise power ratios is discussed. For interception an approach based on autocorrelation fluctuations is employed and also symbol period is estimated from this interception process. Spreading sequence estimation is performed by using eigenanalysis of the correlation matrix and estimated symbol period. These approaches are applied on different kinds of DSSS signals including 3rd gener...
Constructions of resilient boolean functions with maximum nonlinearity
Şahin, M. Özgür; Yücel, Melek D; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, we work on the upper bound for nonlinearity of t-resilient Boolean functions given by Sarkar and Maitra, which is based on divisibility properties of spectral weights of resilient functions and study construction methods that achieve the upper bound. One of the construction methods, introduced by Maity and Johansson, starts with a bent function and complements some values of its truth table corresponding to a previously chosen set of inputs, S, which satisfies three criteria. In this thesis,...
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...
