For several applications such as satellite communication, filters are required since antenna systems are operating as both receiving and transmitting. There is a possibility of leakage from transmit to the receive path in these kind of systems which needs to be isolated in order to protect equipments after filter. Low loss, high isolation and bandpass characteristics are desired for the filtering, which can be validated with waveguide filters. In this study, bandpass waveguide filter design operating in X-Band for satellite communication systems is investigated from the theory to validation. For this purpose, 13th order and 15th order shunt connected symmetrical iris waveguide filters are realized. Suitable flange type, theoretical synthesis procedure, optimization on dimensions, simulation comparisons of the realizable filter are inspected. Also, optimization and tuning work, that are unavoidable for this order of filters, are precisely searched. Results of different manufacturing techniques as screw connection, laser welding and brazing are examined. As a result, a bandpass filter passes signals between 7.25 GHz to 7.75 GHz and rejects signals after 7.9 GHz at least 70 dB is obtained. The filter has at least 17 dB return loss and 0.5 dB insertion loss in the passband region.

GAN-HEMT based KU-band RF power amplifier design for SATCOM applications
Polater, Ahmet Mert; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
As many of today’s wireless applications need, transmitters of satellite communication (SATCOM) applications require one of the vital circuits in microwave world; a unique RF power amplifier, the sub circuit which is located just before the antenna of the transmitter. RF power amplifiers are the circuits used to amplify the low-power RF signals to achieve adequately high-power signals for various applications. Different than the traditional Si transistor-technology based power amplifiers, the main aim of this ...
Blind channel estimation based on the Lloyd-Max algorithm innarrowband fading channels and jamming
Dizdar, Onur; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In wireless communications, knowledge of the channel coefficients is required for coherent demodulation. In this thesis, a blind channel estimation method based on the Lloyd-Max algorithm is proposed for single-tap fading channels. The algorithm estimates the constellation points for the received signal using an iterative least squares approach. The algorithm is investigated for fast-frequency hopping systems with small block lengths and operating under partial-band and partial-time jamming for both detecti...
Broadband loaded dipole antenna design by genetic algorithm optimization
Asan, Bahri; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
It is well known that standard dipole antenna is not convenient to be used in broadband wireless communication applications because of its narrow frequency bandwidth. To broaden the bandwidth of a dipole, lumped loading is the generally applied method. Positive effects of resistive, capacitive and inductive loading are discussed and proved for a pretty long time. This thesis investigates broadband lumped loaded dipole antenna design procedure by using genetic algorithm optimization techniques. First, unload...
A bidirectional LMS algorithmfor estimation of fast time-varying channels
Yapıcı, Yavuz; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
Effort to estimate unknown time-varying channels as a part of high-speed mobile communication systems is of interest especially for next-generation wireless systems. The high computational complexity of the optimal Wiener estimator usually makes its use impractical in fast time-varying channels. As a powerful candidate, the adaptive least mean squares (LMS) algorithm offers a computationally efficient solution with its simple first-order weight-vector update equation. However, the performance of the LMS alg...
A high efficiency power amplifier at x-band for satellite communication
Sen, Ozlem; Dudak, Celal; Nakiboğlu, Barış (null; 2003-12-01)
Efficiency linearity trade off is an important criteria in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite transmitter. In this paper, two X-band power amplifiers, one class A power amplifier and one harmonically terminated class A amplifier, are designed with an output power of 7W, total gain of 18.5dB and bandwidth of 200MHz are designed and compared in terms of efficiency and linearity. With acceptable linearity, the former is expected to give 30% efficiency while the later is expected to give 50% efficiency at 8.2GHz w...
