A non-linear filter is developed for continuous-time systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time. The filter developed can approximate the a priori and a posteriori probability density function (pdf) with weighted Gaussian sums inside specific search regions. To make the approximations, first, Gaussians are placed with equal intervals inside the search regions and deterministic sample points are chosen within the search regions. The pdf values are then calculated at sample points using numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the a priori pdf and using Bayes' rule for the a posteriori pdf. These values are used to find the weights of Gaussians using least-squares method. This process is similar to curve fitting with Gaussian radial basis functions. Inside the search regions, locations of the sample points and mean and covariance values of Gaussians are found by the help of a unscented Kalman filter (UKF). By adjusting the width of the search regions, all the parts, or the ones close to mean values of pdfs, can be approximated. The performance of the filter developed is analysed using a non-linear system with a single-state variable and two radar tracking applications. It is compared with particle filter, UKF and converted measurement Kalman filter for these cases.

Time-resolved optically stimulated luminescence (osl) studies on samples containing quartz and feldspar
Yeltik, Aydan; Bulur, Enver; Department of Physics (2009)
Time Resolved OSL (TR-OSL) is a technique to record the luminescence decay curve data after a brief stimulation pulse and can possibly be used for the separation of luminescence signals from quartz and feldspars. In this study luminescence emission from quartz and feldspar samples was investigated. TR-OSL signals of these samples were studied for the variations with preheating and annealing temperature, stimulation pulse width and total stimulation time, optical bleaching, radiation dose and measurement tem...
Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations
Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
Characteristic Mode Analysis of Unit Cells of Metal-Only Infinite Arrays
Haykır, Yiğit; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2019-09-01)
Characteristic mode analysis of metal only unit cells of periodic structures is performed using Method of Moments based formulation. Ewald's transformation is incorporated for a fast and cost efficient solution and the advantages over spatial Green's function are discussed. The influence of the unit cell size on the characteristic modes is demonstrated. Various metal-only reflectarray elements are compared and their radiation characteristics are interpreted using the theory of characteristic modes. It is sh...
Allpass variable fractional delay filters by pole loci interpolation
Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2010-04-15)
A simple, accurate and efficient variable fractional delay (VFD) IIR filter is presented. The method is based on the interpolation of pole loci of maximally-flat allpass fractional-delay filters. The responses of the proposed VFD filter for different fractional delay values are simulated and the approximation errors are shown to be very small.
Equipotential shells for efficient inductance extraction
Beattie, M; Krauter, B; Alatan, Lale; Pileggi, L (2001-01-01)
To make three-dimensional (3-D) on-chip interconnect inductance extraction tractable, it is necessary to ignore parasitic couplings without compromising critical properties of the interconnect system. It is demonstrated that simply discarding faraway mutual inductance couplings can lead to an unstable approximate inductance matrix. In this paper, we describe an equipotential shell methodology, which generates a partial inductance matrix that is sparse yet stable and symmetric. We prove the positive definite...
