In this thesis a non-linear adaptive beamforming technique, Adaptive Projections Subgradient Method [1] (APSM) is considered. This method uses projections over convex sets in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. Main advantage of this method is observed if the signal-of-interest is due to digital modulation and when there are more jammers than the number of antennas. The performance of this non-linear beamforming technique is compared with well-known methods including Minimum Variance Distortionless Response [2] (MVDR) Beamformer, Robust Capon Beamformer [3] (RCB), Covariance Matrix Reconstruction [4] (CMR) Beamformer and Recursive Least Squares [5] (RLS) Capon Beamformer. A new beamformer is proposed in order to fill the gap between the non-linear and classical beamformer methods. It is shown that this new beamformer performs better than well-known methods when the number of jammers are larger than the number of antennas like APSM. However, the computational complexity of this method is significantly lower than APSM. The beamformer methods are compared in a variety of scenario in order to outline the advantages and disadvantages clearly.

Performance of a non-linear adaptive beamforming algorithm for signal-of-interest extraction Özkan, Oğuz; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-05-19) In this article, a non-linear adaptive beamforming technique, Adaptive Projections Subgradient Method (APSM) [1] is considered. This technique uses projections over convex sets in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. Main advantage of this technique is observed if the signal-of-interest is due to digital modulation and when there are more jammers than the number of antennas. The performance of this non-linear beamforming technique is compared with well-known method Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVD...
On localization and tracking using received signal strength measurements / Yılmaz, Alptekin; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this study, first, some received signal strength (RSS) based localization techniques, including maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), multidimensional scaling (MDS) and weighted least squares (WLS), are investigated and compared to each other via a simulation study within the perspective of a collaborative localization scenario. MLE using RSS measurement model, called RSS-MLE is known in the literature to be significantly biased. An important observation of this work is that the aforementioned bias can be...
Identification of structural non-linearities using describing functions and the Sherman-Morrison method Ozer, Mehmet Bulent; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Royston, Thomas J. (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01) In this study, a new method for type and parametric identification of a non-linear element in an otherwise linear structure is introduced. This work is an extension of a previous study in which a method was developed to localize non-linearity in multi-degree of freedom systems and to identify type and parameters of the non-linear element when it is located at a ground connection of the system. The method uses a describing function approach for representing the non-linearity in the structure. The describing ...
Maximum likelihood estimation of transition probabilities of jump Markov linear systems Orguner, Umut (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-10-01) This paper describes an online maximum likelihood estimator for the transition probabilities associated with a jump Markov linear system (JMLS). The maximum likelihood estimator is derived using the reference probability method, which exploits an hypothetical probability measure to find recursions for complex expectations. Expectation maximization (EM) procedure is utilized for maximizing the likelihood function. In order to avoid the exponential increase in the number of statistics of the optimal EM algori...
A sequential classification algorithm for autoregressive processes Otlu, Güneş; Candan, Çağatay; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) 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 pro...
