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 the man-made communication signals exhibit cyclostationarity due to the periodicity arising from their carrier frequencies, chip rates, baud rates, etc. Cyclic Root MUSIC algorithm exploits the cyclostationarity properties of signals to achieve signal selective direction of arrival estimation. Spatial smoothing is presented to overcome the coherent signals problem in a multipath propagation environment. Forward spatial smoothing and forward backward spatial smoothing techniques are investigated. Interpolation method is presented to cope with the restrictions of spatial smoothing on array structure. Although the array structure that is considered in this thesis (Uniform Circular Array), is not suitable for applying spatial smoothing directly, using interpolation method makes it possible. Performance of Cyclic Root MUSIC and Conventional Root MUSIC algorithms are compared under variation of various factors by computer simulations. Effects of signal type on the performance of the algorithms are observed by using different signal scenarios.

Frequency invariant beamforming and its application to wideband direction of arrival estimation Babataş, Eren; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) 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 si...
Fpga implementation of jointly operating channel estimator and parallelized decoder Kılcıoğlu, Çağlar; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, implementation details of a joint channel estimator and parallelized decoder structure on an FPGA-based platform is considered. Turbo decoders are used for the decoding process in this structure. However, turbo decoders introduce large decoding latencies since they operate in an iterative manner. To overcome that problem, parallelization is applied to the turbo codes and the resulting parallel decodable turbo code (PDTC) structure is employed for coding. The performance of a PDTC decoder and...
Signal reconstruction from nonuniform samples Serdaroğlu, Bülent; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) Sampling and reconstruction is used as a fundamental signal processing operation since the history of signal theory. Classically uniform sampling is treated so that the resulting mathematics is simple. However there are various instances that nonuniform sampling and reconstruction of signals from their nonuniform samples are required. There exist two broad classes of reconstruction methods. They are the reconstruction according to a deterministic, and according to a stochastic model. In this thesis, the mos...
Comparison and evaluation of three dimensional passive source localization techniques Batuman, Emrah; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Passive source localization is the estimation of the positions of the sources or emitters given the sensor data. In this thesis, some of the well known methods for passive source localization are investigated and compared in a stationary emitter sensor framework. These algorithms are discussed in detail in two and three dimensions for both single and multiple target cases. Passive source localization methods can be divided into two groups as two-step algorithms and single-step algorithms. Angle-of-Arrival (...
Nonlinear image restoration Ungan, Cahit Uğur; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis analyzes the process of deblurring of degraded images generated by space-variant nonlinear image systems with Gaussian observation noise. The restoration of blurred images is performed by using two methods; a modified version of the Optimum Decoding Based Smoothing Algorithm and the Bootstrap Filter Algorithm which is a version of Particle Filtering methods. A computer software called MATLAB is used for performing the simulations of image estimation. The results of some simulations for various o...
