In the first part of the thesis, the 2-D structures in stratified media are analyzed using an efficient MoM technique. The method is used to optimize transmitted or reflected electric fields from the 2-D structures. The genetic algorithm is used in the optimization process. In the second part a 3-D MoM technique is implemented to analyze multilayered structures with periodically implanted material blocks. Using the method, the dispersion and reflection characteristics of the structure are calculated for different configurations. The results are compared with the results found in the literature and it is seen that they are in good agreement. Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation (AWE) technique is utilized to obtain the Pade approximation of the solution in terms of frequency. The high order derivatives that are required by the AWE technique are calculated through Automatic Differentiation technique. Using the AWE method, the dispersion diagram and reflection characteristics of the periodic structures are obtained in a shorter time. The results are compared with the ones obtained through direct calculation and it is seen that they are in perfect agreement. The reflection coefficients that are obtained from the 3-D MoM procedure are used to calculate Green’s functions that approximate electric field of an infinitesimal dipole on the periodically implanted substrate. Using the calculated Green’s functions and the spectral domain MoM procedure, dispersion characteristics of a microstrip line on the periodically implanted substrate are obtained.

Multiview 3d reconstruction of a scene containing independently moving objects
Tola, Engin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, the structure from motion problem for calibrated scenes containing independently moving objects (IMO) has been studied. For this purpose, the overall reconstruction process is partitioned into various stages. The first stage deals with the fundamental problem of estimating structure and motion by using only two views. This process starts with finding some salient features using a sub-pixel version of the Harris corner detector. The features are matched by the help of a similarity and neighbo...
Image segmentation based on variational techniques
Altınoklu, Metin Burak; Ünver, Baki Zafer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this thesis, the image segmentation methods based on the MumfordShah variational approach have been studied. By obtaining an optimum point of the Mumford-Shah functional which is a piecewise smooth approximate image and a set of edge curves, an image can be decomposed into regions. This piecewise smooth approximate image is smooth inside of regions, but it is allowed to be discontinuous region wise. Unfortunately, because of the irregularity of the Mumford Shah functional, it cannot be directly used for ...
Identification of electromagnetic scattering mechanisms by two dimensional windowed fourier transform approach
Germeç, K. Egemen; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, it is demonstrated that the two-dimensional Windowed Fourier Transform (WFT) can be effectively used to analyze the local spectral characteristics of electromagnetic scattering signals in the two-dimensional spatial frequency domain. The WFT is the extension of the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), which was originally derived to analyze the local spectral characteristics of one dimensional time functions. Since the WFT focuses on the local spectral behavior of the scattered field, the si...
Joint frequency offset and channel estimation
Avan, Muhammet; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this thesis study, joint frequency offset and channel estimation methods for single-input single-output (SISO) systems are examined. The performance of maximum likelihood estimate of the parameters are studied for different training sequences. Conventionally training sequences are designed solely for the channel estimation purpose. We present a numerical comparison of different training sequences for the joint estimation problem. The performance comparisons are made in terms of mean square estimation err...
Use of Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation Technique in the Analysis of Multilayer Structures With Doubly Periodic Dielectric Gratings
Gudu, Tamer; Alatan, Lale (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09-01)
The reflection and dispersion characteristics of multilayer structures that involve periodically implanted material blocks are obtained by using the MoM solution of the volume integral equation. The asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique is utilized to obtain a Pade approximation of the solution in terms of a parameter such as frequency or incident angle. The use of AWE technique enables a fast sweep with respect to the approximation parameter. Moreover, a robust method for extracting the dispersion...
