This study aims to present a sequential method for the classification of the autoregressive processes. Different from the conventional detectors having fixed sample size, the method uses Wald’s sequential probability ratio test and has a variable sample size. It is shown that the suggested method produces the classification decisions much earlier than fixed sample size alternative on the average. The proposed method is extended to the case when processes have unknown variance. The effects of the unknown process variance on the algorithmperformance are examined. Finally, the suggested algorithm is applied to the classification of fixed and rotary wing targets. The average detection time and its relation with signal to noise ratio are examined.

An overview of detection in MIMO radar Bilgi Akdemir, Şafak; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis study, an overview of MIMO radar is presented. The differences in radar cross section, channel and received signal models in different MIMO radar configurations are examined. The performance improvements that can be achieved by the use of waveform diversity in coherent MIMO radar and by the use of angular diversity in statistical MIMO radar are investigated. The optimal detector under Neyman-Pearson criterion for Coherent MIMO radar when the interfering signal is white Gaussian noise is devel...
Use of the ambiguity function technique for target detection in phase coded continuous wave radars Çankaya, Erkan; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) The goal of this thesis study is to investigate the Ambiguity Function Technique for target detection in phase-coded continuous wave radar. Also, phase shift keying techniques are examined in detail. Continuous Wave (CW) Radars, which are also known as Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars, emit continuous signals in time which are modulated by either frequency modulation or phase modulation techniques. Modulation of the transmitted radar signal is needed to estimate both the range and the radial veloci...
Nonlinear estimation techniques applied to econometric problems Aslan, Serdar; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) This thesis considers the filtering and prediction problems of nonlinear noisy econometric systems. As a filter/predictor, the standard tool Extended Kalman Filter and new approaches Discrete Quantization Filter and Sequential Importance Resampling Filter are used. The algorithms are compared by using Monte Carlo Simulation technique. The advantages of the new algorithms over Extended Kalman Filter are shown.
Nonuform pulse repetition interval optimization for pulse doppler radars Mercan, Hasan; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) In this thesis, a method of optimization of nonuniform pulse repetition interval for pulse Doppler radars is investigated. PRI jittering technique is used for the selection of inter-pulse intervals. An environment with white Gaussian noise and clutter interference is defined and applying generalized likelihood ratio test, a sufficient statistic function for the detection of the target is derived. The effect of jitter set selection on range and Doppler ambiguity resolution and clutter rejection is investigat...
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...
