We have been actively involved in the research and management activities of European Co-Operation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (EU COST) actions such as COST 238 Prediction and Retrospective Ionospheric Modeling over Europe (PRIME), COST 251 Improved Quality of Service in Ionospheric Telecommunication System Planning and Operation, COST 271 Effects of the Upper Atmosphere on Terrestrial and Earth-Space Communications, COST 296 Mitigation of Ionospheric Effects on Radio Systems (MIERS) and COST 724 Developing the Scientific Basis for Monitoring, Modeling and Predicting Space Weather. In this thesis High Frequency (3-30 MHz) (HF) radar system under ionospheric disturbances has been identified globally and some operational suggestions have been presented. The use of HF radar system is considered from the identification of ionospheric propagation medium point of view. Doppler velocity is considered as the characteristic parameter of the propagation medium. ap index is chosen as the parameter for disturbance characterization due to geomagnetic storms in the ionosphere. The main difficulty is the scarcity of data, which is rare and confidential. Therefore semi-synthetic data are generated. Dependence of Doppler velocity and group range of the echo signal on ap index is examined and some details of dependence are studied and demonstrated. Thus, effects of space weather on the ionosphere and as a result on HF radar wave propagation are displayed. These results are examples of system identification. This can be used in communication system planning and operation.

Leo satellites : dynamic modelling, simulations and some nonlinear attitude control techniques Karataş, Soner; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis nonlinear control method techniques are investigated to control the attitude of Low Earth Orbit satellites. Nonlinear control methods are compared with linear control methods. Simulations are done using Matlab and Simulink software and BILSAT-1 parameters are used in the simulations. Reaction wheels are used as the actuator.
Development of a pc numerical system for high voltage sphere gap control Kasap, Onur; Hızal, Mirzahan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, a high precision motion and position control system has been developed and applied to a high voltage sphere gap control and measurement system. The system is able to support up to 3-axes position and motion control. The control system includes a microcontroller card, three DC servo motor driver cards and a data storage unit. To provide communication between computer and motion control system, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is used. The microcontroller card is equipped with an USB interf...
High performance CMOS capacitive interface circuits for MEMS gyroscopes Silay, Kanber Mithat; Akar, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis reports the development and analysis of high performance CMOS readout electronics for increasing the performance of MEMS gyroscopes developed at Middle East Technical University (METU). These readout electronics are based on unity gain buffers implemented with source followers. High impedance node biasing problem present in capacitive interfaces is solved with the implementation of a transistor operating in the subthreshold region. A generalized fully differential gyroscope model with force feed...
High performance readout electronics for uncooled infrared detector arrays Yıldırım, Ömer Özgür; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis reports the development of high performance readout electronics for resistive microbolometer detector arrays that are used for uncooled infrared imaging. Three different readout chips are designed and fabricated by using a standard 0.6 m CMOS process. Fabricated chips include a conventional capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) type readout circuit, a novel readout circuit with dynamic resistance nonuniformity compensation capability, and a new improved version of the CTIA circuit. The fabr...
Camera controlled pick and placeapplication with Puma 760 arm Durusu, Deniz; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis analyzes the kinematical structure of Puma 760 arm and introduces the implementation of image based pick and place application by taking care of the obstacles in the environment. Forward and inverse kinematical solutions of PUMA 760 are carried out. A control software has been developed to calculate both the forward and inverse kinematics solution of this manipulator. The control program enables user to perform both offline programming and real time realization by transmitting the VAL commands (...
