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 generation UMTS signal and LPI radar signals. In order to examine the channel effects such as; multipath, interference and colored noise, on the performance of applied techniques, detailed analysis results are obtained. The results are compared with the performances of alternative interception techniques.

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...
Waveform design for pulse doppler radar Ağırman, Handan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This study is committed to the investigation of optimum waveforms for a pulse doppler radar which uses a non linear high power amplifier in the transmitter. The optimum waveform is defined as the waveform with the lowest peak and integrated side lobe level, the narrowest main lobe in its autocorrelation and the narrowest bandwidth in its spectrum. The Pulse Compression method is used in radar systems since it is more advantageous in terms of the resolution. Among all pulse compression methods, the main focu...
Signal reconstruction from nonuniform samples Serdaroğlu, Bülent; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) Sampling and reconstruction is used as a fundamental signal processing operation since the history of signal theory. Classically uniform sampling is treated so that the resulting mathematics is simple. However there are various instances that nonuniform sampling and reconstruction of signals from their nonuniform samples are required. There exist two broad classes of reconstruction methods. They are the reconstruction according to a deterministic, and according to a stochastic model. In this thesis, the mos...
Target detection by the ambiguity function technique and the conventional fourier transform technique in frequency coded continuous wave radars Akangöl, Mehmet; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) Continuous Wave (CW) radars are preferred for their low probability of intercept by the other receivers. Frequency modulation techniques, the linear frequency modulation (LFM) technique in particular, are commonly used in CW radars to resolve the range and the radial velocity of the detected targets. The conventional method for target detection in a linear FMCW radar makes use of a mixer followed by a low-pass filter whose output is Fourier transformed to get the range and velocity information. In this thes...
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...
