Any signal in nature includes periodic signals with different frequencies and weightings. Therefore, any signal can be represented using summation of simple periodic functions. Representation of signals with periodic functions is called Fourier series representation. This powerful utility of the Fourier series is aimed to be used for adaptive control. In the direction of this aim, a novel approach for model reference adaptive control is proposed in this thesis. The Fourier series basedmodel reference adaptive control represents an alternative for uncertainty parametrizations used in model reference adaptive control. Commonly designed MRAC schemes use known functions of system variables or in some cases neural networks for uncertainty parametrization. In this study, these parametrization methods are replaced with Fourier series. The sine and cosine elements; which are functions of time with periods that are multipliers of precessors, are used as basis functions. An adaptation law for estimating the weightings of the periodic functions is derived using Lyapunov stability principle. The adaptive input is calculated by multiplying the periodic basis functions and the estimated weights. In this thesis, two other alternative for the proposed method are examined. These alternatives are model following control and basic model reference adaptive control that uses known functions of system variables. These controllers are designed for a sample problem. Robustness properties of the model following controller is analyzed. Performances of these controllers are inspected under defined and random disturbances, and the results are compared with the proposed controller. The performance of the Fourier series based MRAC scheme is shown to be satisfactory. The comparison of the results indicates that the proposed controller gives better disturbance rejection for the same performance level.

Modeling of time domain represented signals with multitone signals
Cansız, Gökhan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Signals in certain systems, such as the transmitted signal in a cellular communication system, are strongly time dependent, non-deterministic and stochastically not well defined. Predicting the performance of the transmitter with such a signal at its input is important for efficient operation. Therefore, it is crucial to model a given time dependent waveform by multi-tone signals, which enables analytical derivations. In this thesis, multi-tone representation is employed to model the varying envelope arbitr...
Electromagnetic Scattering from Obstacles in the Near Field Region of Electrically Large Arrays
Cetin, Ramazan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Nepa, Paolo; Manara, Giuliano (2009-09-18)
In this paper, an efficient method for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering/radiation from the obstacles nearby electrically large array antennas, with nonuniform excitation, is proposed. The approach is based on the combination of a ray field representation of electrically large arrays and a DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) based representation of array current distribution. Proposed method is applied to a 2D problem: Radiation of a linear array of 2N+1 infinitely long current elements with tapered c...
Feature extraction of hidden oscillation in ECG data via multiple-FOD method
Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Erkuş, Ekin Can (null; 2019-10-30)
Fourier transform (FT) is a non-parametric method which can be used to convert the time domain data into the frequency domain and can be used to find the periodicity of oscillations in time series datasets. In order to detect periodic-like outliers in time series data, a novel and promising method, named as the outlier detection via Fourier transform (FOD), has been developed. From our previous studies, it has been shown that FOD outperforms most of the commonly used approaches for the detection of outliers...
Interference suppression capability of faster than symbol rate sampling and frequency domain oversampling
Balevi, Eren; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
Detection of symbols in the presence of many interference sources is a difficult task in wireless channels. It is obligatory to reduce the interference for reliable communication. In this dissertation, minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection is investigated to suppress interference. Faster Than Symbol Rate (FTSR) sampling and Frequency Domain Oversampling (FDO) methods are proposed to enhance the interference suppression level of MMSE detection for both single user and multiuser communication. The aim of...

The propagation characteristics of radio signals are important parameters to consider when designing and operating radio systems. From the point of view Working Group 2 of the COST 296 Action, interest lies with effects associated with propagation via the ionosphere of signals within the HF band. Several aspects are covered in this paper:
