In this thesis, target induced glint error phenomenon is analyzed and the glint reduction techniques are evaluated. Glint error reduction performance of the methods is given in a comparative manner. First, target glint is illustrated with the dumbbell model which has two point scatterers. This illustration of the glint error builds the basic notion of target scattering centers and effect of scattering characteristics on glint error. This simplest approach is also used to understand the glint reduction methods. In an effort to evaluate the glint reduction techniques, a model based upon the concept of coherent summation of scattering complexes is used . The model is also used for introducing the basic properties of glint phenomenon. Basics of the glint phenomenon and glint reduction techniques are discussed with particular emphasis on diversity methods. Frequency diversity and spatial diversity techniques are described and investigated with generated simulation data. The diversity selection methods which are used to eliminate the erroneous data are introduced and their performances are investigated. Glint error reduction results of various scenarios including both reduction techniques and selection methods are evaluated in comparison with each other. The results indicate that significant reduction of glint error is possible by the appropriate utilization of diversity techniques in radar systems.

Comparative evaluation of SAR image formation algorithms
Şahin, Halil İbrahim; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
In the scope of this thesis, simulation-based analyses and comparative evaluation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation techniques, namely Time Domain Correlation, Range Stacking, Range Doppler and Chirp Scaling algorithms, are presented. For this purpose, first, the fundamental concepts of SAR such as SAR geometry, resolution and signal properties are explained. A broadside SAR simulator that provides artificial raw data as an input to the algorithms is designed and implemented. Then, the mathe...
Radar performance analysis approaches for the evaluation of radar systems
Yener, Ümit; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
In this thesis study, some approaches are proposed for radar performance analysis. It turns out that average power and antenna aperture area (equivalently, antenna gain) are the most important parameters for the assessment or comparison of radar systems. Search and track load concepts and the utilization trade between search and tracking tasks in multifunction radars are also presented. For long distance search / tracking tasks, performance of a two-radar system is analyzed, and it is shown that cross range...
Electromagnetic target recognition with the fused MUSIC spectrum matrix method: Applications and performance analysis for incomplete frequency data
Secmen, Mustafa; Ekmekci, Evren; Sayan, Gönül (2007-01-01)
The aim of this paper is to apply an electromagnetic target recognition method, which is based on the use of fused MUSIC spectrum matrices, to the case of incomplete frequency domain data. The aforementioned method was suggested recently and succesfully applied to both canonical and complicated targets in the presence of complete frequency domain data [1]. However, most of the real world applications involve the use of severely incomplete frequency data, especially missing low frequency information. In this...
Radar cross section analysis by shooting and bouncing rays method
Çakır, Mustafa Kağan; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2015)
In this study, a MATLAB code incorporating `Shooting and Bouncing Rays (SBR) Method` is developed for calculating Radar Cross Section (RCS) of complex shapes. The code can calculate ray paths, magnetic current sheets, incident and scattered electric fields and RCS in horizontal, vertical and cross polarizations. While reflection effects are calculated by SBR algorithm, diffraction effects due to edges and corners are handled by `Equivalent Edge Currents (EEC’s)`. Wave frequency, aspect angle and number of r...
MUTATION CLASSES OF SKEW-SYMMETRIZABLE 3 x 3 MATRICES
Seven, Ahmet İrfan (2013-05-01)
Mutation of skew-symmetrizable matrices is a fundamental operation that first arose in Fomin-Zelevinsky's theory of cluster algebras; it also appears naturally in many different areas of mathematics. In this paper, we study mutation classes of skew-symmetrizable 3 x 3 matrices and associated graphs. We determine representatives for these classes using a natural minimality condition, generalizing and strengthening results of Beineke-BrustleHille and Felikson-Shapiro-Tumarkin. Furthermore, we obtain a new num...
