General solutions for branch-line couplers using different Line lengths are provided in this paper. Explicit expressions are derived with which a hybrid with any given power division ratio can be designed. In the design, one of the characteristic impedances or lengths of the branches can be chosen arbitrarily to suit a given design specification, This approach brings flexibility in choosing the characteristic impedances or the lengths of the branches, and is helpful especially in monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit applications where restrictions imposed on microstrip transmission lines do not allow the use of conventional branch-line couplers employing quarter-wave-long lines, However, the resultant bandwidth is narrower compared to that of the conventional coupler.

ACCURATE MATCHING AND RECONSTRUCTION OF LINE FEATURES FROM ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION STEREO AERIAL IMAGES Ok, Ahmet; Heipke, C.; Rottensteiner, F.; Soergel, U.; Toprak, V. (2011-06-17) In this study, a new reconstruction approach is proposed for the line segments that are nearly-aligned(<= 10 degrees) with the epipolar line. The method manipulates the redundancy inherent in line pair-relations to generate artificial 3D point entities and utilize those entities during the estimation process to improve the height values of the reconstructed line segments. The best point entities for the reconstruction are selected based on a newly proposed weight function. To test the performance of the pro...
Accurate Reconstruction of Near-Epipolar Line Segments from Stereo Aerial Images Ok, Ali Ozgun; Wegner, Jan Dirk; Heipke, Christian; Rottensteiner, Franz; Soergel, Uwe; Toprak, Vedat (2012-01-01) In this study, a new 3D reconstruction approach for line segments from stereo images is proposed which covers the case that the image lines are nearly-aligned (<= 10 degrees) with the epipolar line. The method manipulates the redundancy inherent in line pair-relations to generate artificial 3D points and utilizes those entities during the estimation process to improve the reconstruction of the line segments. The best points for the reconstruction are selected based on a newly proposed weight function. To te...
Profit-oriented disassembly line balancing with stochastic task times in hybrid lines Gümüşkaya, Volkan; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Altekin, Tevhide; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013) We offer a solution approach for profit-oriented disassembly line balancing problem in hybrid lines with stochastic task times. When task times are stochastic, there is a probability that some of the tasks are not completed within the predefined cycle time. For task incompletions, the most commonly used remedial actions are stopping the line or offline repairs. Stopping the line is to stop the line until the incomplete tasks are completed, while in offline repair, incomplete tasks are completed in an offlin...
Forward Kinematics of the 6-6 general Parallel Manipulator Using Real Coded Genetic Algorithms Rolland, Luc; Chandra, Rohitash (2009-07-17) This article examines an optimization method to solve the forward kinematics problem (FKP) applied to parallel manipulators. Based on Genetic Algorithms (GA), a non-linear equation system solving problem is converted into an optimization one. The majority of truly parallel manipulators can be modeled by the 6-6 which is an hexapod constituted by a fixed base and a mobile platform attached to six kinematics chains with linear (prismatic) actuators located between two ball joints. Parallel manipulator kinemat...
Uniform and nonuniform V-shaped planar arrays for 2-D direction-of-arrival estimation Filik, T.; Tuncer, Temel Engin (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2009-09-22) In this paper, isotropic and directional uniform and nonuniform V-shaped arrays are considered for azimuth and elevation direction-of-arrival (DOA) angle estimation simultaneously. It is shown that the uniform isotropic V-shaped arrays (UI V arrays) have no angle coupling between the azimuth and elevation DOA. The design of the UI V arrays is investigated, and closed form expressions are presented for the parameters of the UI V arrays and nonuniform V arrays. These expressions allow one to find the isotropi...
