In Band Full Duplex systems are getting popular to meet the increasing demand of consumers and stringent requirements of developing 5G systems. In this type of communication, receiver and transmitter frequencies are at the same carrier frequency and occurs simultaneously, increasing both data rates and spectral efficiency. Its advantage over time division duplexing and frequency division duplexing have been theoretically proven and practically demonstrated in a number of recent studies. One major bottleneck of this type of duplexing is the echo created by the leakage from the transmitter to the receiver due to the same carrier frequency of the receiver and the transmitter. A typical design challenge is to suppress this leakage so that the transmitted signal does not appear as a blocker, reducing receiver’s sensitivity. A novel method is to use an electrical balance duplexer which provides an isolation in a single antenna receiver if the antenna impedance is equal to a balancing impedance connected to the other side of the duplexer. However, antenna impedance varies considerably due to environmental factors, reducing the suppression. In order to achieve adequate suppression in practical implementations, a varying matching load, tuned to the varying antenna impedance is required. Typical way of creating a matching load is to construct a digitally configurable load which can be externally switched to desired impedance. However, discrete number of switches limit the performance and hence isolation in some cases. In the context of this thesis, a new balancing architecture for electrical balance duplexer is proposed and analyzed. Unlike other works in the literature, the proposed architecture has the capability to suppress in a continuous range of impedances rather than discrete steps. This system offers flexibility to the designers as the system can respond even to the slightest change in the antenna impedance maintaining maximum available isolation. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, it is implemented in a fully integrated system along with a power amplifier able to provide 1W of power and a differential LNA. The MMIC is tuned to work in the X-band and fabricated in a commercial 0.25 um GaN on SiC technology. The measurement results show that the proposed system achieves a self interference cancellation level of more than 40 dB within a 100 MHz bandwidth for antenna impedance values up to 2.0:1 VSWR.

A Novel Transceiver Architecture for Highly Dispersive NOMA Channels
Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2018-06-06)
When the requirements of internet of things (IoT) and machine-type communication (MTC) are considered, the 5G technology needs to support high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity of users/devices, and the demand for low latency, short packet duration, low power, high mobility and diverse service types. In this paper, first a new multiple access technique belonging to the class of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based on multi-code signaling (MCS) is proposed for the uplink data transmission m...
A Sigma Delta micro accelerometer with 6 mu g/root Hz resolution and 130 dB dynamic range
Sonmez, Ugur; Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (2014-11-01)
This paper reports the implementation of a low noise, high dynamic-range I I" pound readout for low cost capacitive Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers. The readout circuit sets the bandwidth of the I I" pound loop through an extra feedback path, and hence allows the closed loop system to operate with the low noise characteristics similar to a second-order I I" pound analog-to-digital converter. A thorough noise analysis of the proposed accelerometer shows that the mechanical noise is the...
X-band high power GaN power amplifier design and implementation
Işık, Ali İlker; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
High frequency power amplifiers play a crucial role in design, development and overall performance of wireless communication systems. Demanding requirements of the power amplifiers require improvements in output power, efficiency and bandwidth. GaN devices attract high frequency power amplifier designers due to the superior material characteristics of GaN. In this thesis, a power amplifier operating at X-band is designed and realized using a GaN discrete bare die transistor. It provides over 15 W output pow...

This paper presents a vibration-based electromagnetic (EM) energy harvester system utilizing novel and highly efficient interface electronics. The energy harvesting module up-converts the environmental low frequency vibrations for increased AC power output. The interface circuit employs a boot-strap technique to reduce the threshold voltage of the rectifiers further increasing the power conversion efficiency of the overall system. The complete system, composed of an energy harvester module, and a compact 0....
An Efficient Constrained mm-Wave Hybrid Massive MIMO Beamforming for JSDM based NOMA
Bayraktar, Murat; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer (2021-06-01)
Massive MIMO and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) are key technologies for next generation wireless systems due to their distinct advantages. We previously proposed a general framework on unification of code-domain NOMA and joint spatial division and multiplexing (JSDM) which is a spatial user-grouping based hybrid beamforming method for massive MIMO. In this paper, we propose a constrained analog beam-former design for JSDM based systems. Moreover, we propose joint group processing for the digital bea...
