In this study, emitter identification techniques have been investigated and a schema has been proposed to solve the emitter identification problem in Electronic Warfare systems. Clustering technique, histogram based deinterleaving techniques and a continuous wavelet transform based deinterleaving technique have been reviewed. A receiver simulator software has been developed to test the performance of these techniques and to compare them against each other. To compensate the disadvantages of these techniques, a schema utilizing the beneficial points of them has been developed. With the modifications proposed a resultant schema has been obtained. Proposed schema uses clustering and deinterleaving together with other proposed modifications. Tests made through out this study have shown that this usage improves performance of emitter identification system. Hence, proposed schema can be used to identify the emitters in real EW systems.

An investigation of jamming techniques through a radar receiver simulation
Kırkpantur-Çadallı, Atiye Aslı; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this study, various jamming techniques and their effects on detection and tracking performance have been investigated through a radar receiver simulation that models a search radar for target acquisition and single-target tracking radar during track operation. The radar is modeled as looking at airborne targets, and hence clutter is not considered. Customized algorithms have been developed for the detection of target azimuth angle, range and Doppler velocity within the modeled geometry and chosen radar p...
Successive target cancelation for radar waveform sidelobe reduction
Haliloğlu, Onur; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
Many radars suffer from masking of weaker targets by stronger ones due to range sidelobes of pulse compression codes. We propose a method to prevent this by successively detecting targets and canceling their effects. Performance of the proposed method will be investigated in various scenarios with regard to existence of noise, targets, and the Doppler effect.
Analysis of slot coupled microstrip patch antennas
Ballıkaya, Elif; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Method of Moments (MoM)/Green’s function formulation is developed for the analysis of electromagnetic radiation from planar rectangular microstrip antennas with different feeding techniques. Investigated structures are microstrip line fed patch antenna, proximity coupled patch antenna and slot coupled patch antenna. For all these structures equivalent problems are defined. Then, integral equations where currents are the unknowns are obtained from boundary conditions and by using spectral domain representati...
Range resolution improvement of fmcw radars
Kurt, Sinan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar has wide application areas in both civil and military use. The range resolution is a critical concept for these FMCW radars as for the other radar types. There are theoretical restrictions in the range resolution. In addition, the non-ideal properties of the modules used in the systems negatively affects the range resolution. The transmitter leakage, non-linear frequency sweep, FM to AM distortion and measurement errors are some of the critical non-ideal prop...
Frame synchronization in OFDM systems
Gürsan, Hakan Yesari; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, we considered the problem of frame synchronization and channel estimation in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Since framing error may cause severe ISI and may disturb the orthogonality of the subcarriers, frame synchronization must be accomplished at the OFDM receiver. Furthermore, the effects of channel must be compensated to obtain the symbols accurately. We investigated several frame synchronization algorithms including a maximum likelihood (ML) synchronizer whic...
