In this thesis work, importance of radome structures for antenna systems is emphasized. Structural and electromagnetic requirements of various types of radome structures are analyzed and specific properties are given. Electromagnetic scattering analysis of sandwich type radome seams has been done. Total antenna system far electromagnetic field expression, which is the combination of original antenna far electromagnetic field and the scattered electromagnetic field of the framework of the sandwich radome structure has been found and simulated. To enhance electromagnetic transparency of sandwich type radomes two sandwich radome design methods are proposed which are expressed as Geometrical Randomization and Tuning the Seams. Electromagnetic scattering level minimizations advanced by these design methods are presented with related simulations.

Decentralized estimation under communication constraints Üney, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, we consider the problem of decentralized estimation under communication constraints in the context of Collaborative Signal and Information Processing. Motivated by sensor network applications, a high volume of data collected at distinct locations and possibly in diverse modalities together with the spatially distributed nature and the resource limitations of the underlying system are of concern. Designing processing schemes which match the constraints imposed by the system while providing a ...
Design and construction of reduced size planar spiral antenna in the 0.5-18 ghz frequency range Yıldız, İnanç; Hızal, Altunkan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) In this thesis, theoretical and practical evaluation of usual spiral antenna is revised. Working principles of both types of planar spiral antennas as Equiangular and Archimedean are introduced. A predesigned microstrip tapered balun used for feeding section of a spiral antenna is simulated on Ansoft HFSS software. Successful simulation results are obtained and measurements of implemented balun structure are made by using an HP 8722 D vector network analyzer. Antenna measurement techniques used in this stud...
Interference suppression by using space-time adaptive processing for airborne radar Eryiğit, Özgür; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) is an effective method in Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) operation of airborne radars. Clutter suppression is the key to successful MTI operation. Airborne radars are different than the ground based ones in regard to clutter due to the displacement of the platform during operation. When STAP methods are to be investigated, one needs to have accurate signal models while evaluating performance. In this thesis, a comprehensive received signal model is developed firs...
Tunable frequency microstrip antennas by rf-mems technology Erdil, Emre; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of tunable frequency microstrip antennas using RF MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) technology. The integration of RF MEMS components with radiators enable to implement tunable systems due to the adjustable characteristics of RF MEMS components. In the frame of this thesis, different types of structures have been investigated and designed. The first structure consists of a microstrip patch antenna which is loaded with a microstrip stub whose ...
MMSE based iterative turbo equalization for antenna switching sytems Yıldırım, Recep Ali; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis, we study the performance of an antenna switching (AS) system in comparison to an Alamouti coded system. We analyze the outage probabilities and propose minimum mean-squared error based iterative equalizers for both systems. We see from the outage probability analysis of both systems that the AS system may achieve the same diversity order of the Alamouti coded scheme contingent on the transmission rate and constellation size. In the proposed receiver, MMSE equalization and channel decoding ar...
