In this thesis the direction of arrival estimation of wideband signals using frequency invariant beamforming method is examined. The difficulty with the direction of arrival estimation of wideband signals is that it is not possible to obtain a single covariance matrix valid for the whole frequency spectrum of the signal. There are various methods proposed in the literature to overcome this difficulty. The common aim of all the methods is to obtain a composite covariance matrix for the overall band of the signal. In this thesis, we concentrate on a method in [12]. This method is based on a beamforming technique that provides frequency invariant beams in the band of interest. Therefore there is no need for frequency decomposition as it is done with the other wideband methods. A comparison of the frequency invariant beamforming method with coherent signal subspace methods and narrow band methods is also given.

Direction finding for coherent, cyclostationary signals via a uniform circular array
Atalay Çetinkaya, Burcu; Koç, Arzu; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this thesis work, Cyclic Root MUSIC method is integrated with spatial smoothing and interpolation techniques to estimate the direction of arrivals of coherent,cyclostationary signals received via a Uniform Circular Array (UCA). Cyclic Root MUSIC and Conventional Root MUSIC algorithms are compared for various signal scenarios by computer simulations. A cyclostationary process is a random process with probabilistic parameters, such as the autocorrelation function, that vary periodically with time. Most of ...
A new feedback-based contention avoidance algorithm for optical burst switching networks
Toku, Hadi Alper; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this thesis, a feedback-based contention avoidance technique based on weighted Dijkstra algorithm is proposed to address the contention avoidance problem for Optical Burst Switching networks. Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been proposed as a promising technique to support high-bandwidth, bursty data traffic in the next-generation optical Internet. Nevertheless, there are still some challenging issues that need to be solved to achieve an effective implementation of OBS. Contention problem occurs when t...
Sensorless vector control of induction motor based on flux and speed estimation
Ertuğrul, Barış Tuğrul; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
The main focus of the study is the implementation of techniques regarding flux estimation and rotor speed estimation by the use of sensorless closed-loop observers. Within this framework, the information about the mathematical representation of the induction motor, pulse width modulation technique and flux oriented vector control techniques together with speed adaptive flux estimation a kind of sensorless closed loop estimation technique- and Kalman filters is given. With the comparison of sensorless closed...
State-space identification of switching linear discrete time-periodic systems with known scheduling signals
Uyanik, Ismail; Hamzacebi, Hasan; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2019-01-01)
In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain state-space identification method for switching linear discrete time-periodic (LDTP) systems with known scheduling signals. The state-space identification problem of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems has been widely studied both in the time and frequency domains. Indeed, there have been several studies that also concentrated on state-space identification of both continuous and discrete linear time-periodic (LTP) systems. The focus in this study is the fam...
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...
