Diversity methods are used to improve the reliability of the communication between transmitter and receiver. These methods use redundancy to reduce the errors in the communication link. Apart from the conventional diversity methods, multiuser diversity has an aim of maximizing the sum capacity of a multi-user system. To benefit from multiuser diversity, the opportunistic scheduling method grants the channel access to the user which has the best channel quality among all users. Therefore, the cumulative sum of the information sent to all users, which is the sum capacity, is maximized in the long term. Although the opportunistic scheduling maximizes the sum capacity, it has some drawbacks such as the feedback load growing with the number of users and the problem of fairness for the users which may have lower channel quality than some other users. In this thesis, these two issues are investigated for the broadcast channels. Feedback quantization, which gives partial information on the channel state, is studied to mitigate the feedback load with a goal of little loss in the sum capacity. The thresholds for the finite feedback quantization are determined to provide fairness and to reduce the feedback load at the same time. To provide fairness, users are grouped into clusters and thresholds are optimized for each cluster. A method is proposed by extending the one given by Floren et. al. to solve the mentioned problems and the proposed method is compared with some other scheduling methods in the literature.

Near capacity operating practical transceivers for wireless fading channels Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have received much attention due to their multiplexing and diversity capabilities. It is possible to obtain remarkable improvement in spectral efficiency for wireless systems by using MIMO based schemes. However, sophisticated equalization and decoding structures are required for reliable communication at high rates. In this thesis, capacity achieving practical transceiver structures are proposed for MIMO wireless channels depending on the availability of channe...
Design and implementation of low phase noise phase locked loop based local oscillator Bölücek, Muhsin Alperen; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, a low phase noise local oscillator operating at 2210 MHz is designed and implemented to be used in X-Band transmitter of a LEO satellite. Designed local oscillator is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based frequency synthesizer which is implemented using discrete commercial components including ultra low noise voltage controlled oscillator and high resolution, low noise fractional-N synthesizer. Operational settings of the synthesizer are done using three wire serial interface of a microcontroller....
Design and realization of broadband instantaneous frequency discriminator Pamuk, Gökhan; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) n this thesis, RF sections of a multi tier instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) receiver which can operate in 2 – 18 GHz frequency band is designed, simulated and partially realized. The designed structure uses one coarse tier, three medium tiers and one fine tier for frequency discrimination. A novel reflective phase shifting technique is developed which enables the design of very wideband phase shifters using stepped cascaded transmission lines. Compared to the classical phase shifters using coupled ...
Detection of airport runways in optical satellite images Zöngür, Uğur; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this thesis, a detection method is proposed for airport runways, which is the most distinguishing element of an airport. This method, which operates on large optical satellite images, is composed of a segmenta...
