Durmaz, Murat
Denoising signals is an important task of digital signal processing. Many linear and non-linear methods for signal denoising have been developed. Wavelet based denoising is the most famous nonlinear denoising method lately. In the linear case, Kalman filter is famous for its easy implementation and real-time nature. Wavelet- Kalman filter developed lately is an important improvement over Kalman filter, in which the Kalman filter operates in the wavelet domain, filtering the wavelet coeffi- cients, and resulting in the filtered wavelet transform of the signal in real-time. The real-time filtering and multiresolution representation is a powerful feature for many real world applications. This study explains in detail the derivation and implementation of Real-Time Wavelet-Kalman Filter method to remove noise from signals in real-time. The filter is enhanced to use different wavelet types than the Haar wavelet, and also it is improved to operate on higer block sizes than two. Wavelet shrinkage is integrated to the filter and it is shown that by utilizing this integration more noise suppression is obtainable. A user friendly application is developed to import, filter and export signals in Java programming language. And finally, the applicability of the proposed method to suppress noise from seismic waves coming from eartquakes and to enhance spontaneous potentials measured from groundwater wells is also shown.

Blind and semi-blind channel order estimation in simo systems
Karakütük, Serkan; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
Channel order estimation is an important problem in many fields including signal processing, communications, acoustics, and more. In this thesis, blind channel order estimation problem is considered for single-input, multi-output (SIMO) FIR systems. The problem is to estimate the effective channel order for the SIMO system given only the output samples corrupted by noise. Two new methods for channel order estimation are presented. These methods have several useful features compared to the currently known te...
An alternative multi-tone representation of complex signals for feedforward systems
Coskun, Hakan; Mutlu, Ahmet; Demir, Şimşek (2004-12-01)
Signals used in wireless communication have various stochastic behaviors depending on the type of the modulation. The systems are nonlinear and analysis of these systems with various types of signals is tedious. Therefore developing a universal analysis method and representing any type of input signal with a certain model, such as multi-tone representation and modeling, simplify the analysis and design of these systems enabling initial rapid optimizations and understanding of the system performance. In this...
A new method for D-dimensional exact deconvolution
Tuncer, Temel Engin (1999-05-01)
Deconvolution is an important problem of signal processing, and conventional approaches. including Fourier methods, have stability problems due to the zeros of the convolution kernel. In this paper, we present a new method of multidimensional exact deconvolution. This method is always stable, even when the convolution kernel h(n) has zeros on the unit circle, and there exist closed-form solutions for the one-dimensional (1-D) case (D = 1). For the multidimensional case (D > 1), the proposed method yields st...
A new method for signal interpolation
Tuncer, Temel Engin (2006-04-19)
Interpolation is an important problem of signal processing. Even though there are several methods for interpolation, it is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a new method for interpolation with certain advantages compared to the previous methods. The proposed method is based on the least squares error optimum design of the interpolating filter. Interpolating filter is chosen as the Kaiser filter since it can be configured in a variety of shapes by the appropriate choice of cut-off and shape pa...
