—We study the detectors based on the ambiguity function. These detectors have been shown to be useful for the detection of linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals in the literature. We show that the detectors based on the projection of the cross-ambiguity surface are optimal for the detection of nonfluctuating targets in the Bayesian sense. The given optimality property strengthens the earlier results in the literature and enables us to compare different classes of detectors.

On the Implementation of Optimal Receivers for LFM Signals using Fractional Fourier Transform
Candan, Çağatay (2008-05-30)
We present a novel receiver structure for the detection and parameter estimation of linear frequency modulated signals. The proposed structure is based on the relations between the fractional Fourier transform and the ambiguity function. It has been shown that the optimal ML receiver, which is the peak detector in the ambiguity plane, can be implemented at a reduced search complexity with the proposed method. The proposed method uses two 1-dimensional search operations in two different fractional Fourier do...
On the Impact of Fast-Time and Slow-Time Preprocessing Operations on Adaptive Target Detectors
Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Candan, Çağatay (2018-04-27)
Conventional adaptive detectors assume independent and identically distributed (iid) secondary data vectors which is not contaminated with the target signal. Yet, the input to the adaptive detectors are produced by preprocessing the raw data in fast-time and slow-time dimensions, in general. This paper mainly aims to study the impact of fast-time matched filtering on the adaptive target detectors, namely Kelly's detector, adaptive matched filter (AMF) and adaptive coherence estimator (ACE). It is shown that...
A representation theorem for quantum systems
Dosi, Anar (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-07-01)
In this note representations of quantum systems are investigated. We propose a unital bipolar theorem for unital quantum cones, which plays a key role in proving a representation theorem for quantum systems. It turns out that each quantum system is identified with a certain quantum L-a-system up to a quantum order isomorphism.
On The Optimality of Maisel Sidelobe Blanking Structure
COŞKUN, Osman; Candan, Çağatay (2014-05-23)
We present an optimal sidelobe blanker (SLB) detector for Swerling-1 and Swerling-0 targets and compare the performances of the suggested detector with the classical Maisel SLB structure. The optimal SLB detector depends on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and jammer to noise ratio (JNR) values and may not be practical for implementation in many applications. The goal of this work is to compare the Maisel structure with the optimal detector which utilizes additional information on target and jammer and asses...
A study on improving decisions in closed set speaker identification
Demirekler, Mübeccel; Saranlı, Afşar (1997-04-24)
In this study, closed-set, text-independent speaker identification is considered and the problem of improving the reliability of the decisions made by available algorithms is addressed. The work presented here is based on the idea of combining the evidences from different algorithms or decision strategies to improve the recognition performance and the reliability. For this purpose, the models generated by a single algorithm for 17 speakers from the SPIDRE; database are considered and a matrix of speaker-to-...
