In this study, Window-based computer program, named Synthesis Software, is developed for designing filters with equal-ripple or maximally flat passbands and general stopbands by using cascade synthesis technique in transformed frequency domain. Synthesis technique is applicable to lumped element and commensurate line distributed element filters with Lowpass, Highpass or Bandpass characteristics. Singly or Doubly terminated filters can be synthesized. friendly environment for typing in the parameters of the filter to be designed. This part uses Synthesis and Plot parts as modules. This software is based on the previous softwares developed in EEE Department of Middle East Technical University. All the previous softwares were gathered in the well-known software Filpro, which is in DOS environment, in Pascal. Thus, the new software is actually a conversion of Synthesis part of Filpro from DOS environment into Windows environment in the language C#, with some improvements in root finding algorithms for numerical conditioning. Synthesis Software is has three parts. The first and main part is the implementation of synthesis technique by using object oriented programming technique. In this way, synthesis technique implementation is isolated from other parts of Synthesis Software and it can be used by other filter design programs as a module. The second part of the program is responseplotting section. In this part Insertion Loss, Return Loss, Time Delay, Phase and Smith Chart responses are calculated and displayed. The last part is User Interface, which provides user

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...
Modelling and noise analysis of closed-loop capacitive sigma-delta mems accelerometer
Boğa, Biter; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
This thesis presents a detailed SIMULINK model for a conventional capacitive Σ-Δ accelerometer system consisting of a MEMS accelerometer, closed-loop readout electronics, and signal processing units (e.g. decimation filters). By using this model, it is possible to estimate the performance of the full accelerometer system including individual noise components, operation range, open loop sensitivity, scale factor, etc. The developed model has been verified through test results using a capacitive MEMS accelero...
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 ...
Lowpass broadband harmonic filter design
Zubi, Hazem; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis an analytical design method of the improved broadband passive harmonic filter (IBF) for three phase diode rectifier front-end type adjustable speed drives is presented. The method is based on frequency domain modeling of the rectifier and filter. The success of the method involves accurate representation of the load harmonics. With the harmonics well defined, the harmonic and fundamental frequency equivalent circuits are utilized to analytically calculate the voltages/currents. Thus, the size...
Parameter extraction and image enhancement for catadioptric omnidirectional cameras
Baştanlar, Yalın; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2005)
In this thesis, catadioptric omnidirectional imaging systems are analyzed in detail. Omnidirectional image (ODI) formation characteristics of different camera-mirror configurations are examined and geometrical relations for panoramic and perspective image generation with common mirror types are summarized. A method is developed to determine the unknown parameters of a hyperboloidal-mirrored system using the world coordinates of a set of points and their corresponding image points on the ODI. A linear relati...
