Radar receivers collect mixed signals from all electromagnetic sources in the environment. The ultimate goal of electronic intelligence is to find the types of these sources with the help of a priori information, known as emitter identification. Emitter identification system aims to find a representative for each emitter in the environment and update them over time. Hence, such a non-stationary and continuous flow of data is of this thesis concern which is beyond the scope of traditional –offline or batch- machine learning systems. Another challenge is that the system can not know all possible emitter types and does not have a priori knowledge about the number of emitters. Therefore, incremental or online learning methods should be considered for the update of emitter representatives. After obtaining a representative for each emitter in a typical incremental learning algorithm, these representatives should be compared with a list of previously available emitter types. This part requires symbolic data analysis since the radar parameters generally operate interval-based. During simulations, among incremental learning algorithms, fuzzy ART, Bayesian ART, SOM and KDESOINN are examined and several extensions are proposed for the selected online learning networks. An ART-based structure based on Jaccard index is also proposed and tested for symbolic classification. The results indicate that the proposed symbolic data analysis method has outperformed other distance metrics and that the proposed algorithmic extensions enhance the performance of the selected online learning algorithms, while KDESOINN is observed to perform the best in terms of accuracy.

Parametric spectral estimation methods of clutter profile for adaptive radar detection and classification Eraslan, Berna; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Identiﬁcation of unwanted echoes in a received radar signal is crucial in order to improve the radar detection performance. In the scope of thesis, currently proposed parametric spectrum estimation techniques, such as MUSIC, ESPRIT and Burg, are evaluated in order to estimate moments of clutter components in received radar echo. Since none of these methods has the ability of estimating Doppler spread and adequate accuracy, Stochastic Maximum Likelihood (SML) method is implemented, working with the best perf...
Parameter estimation of multicomponent micro-doppler signals / Yıldız, Hüseyin; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Vibrating and rotating parts on a radar target is known to generate frequency modulated echo signal which is called micro-Doppler signal. Micro-Doppler signals are commonly modeled as the sum of sinusoidally modulated signals and the parameters, such as amplitude, frequency, phase, of these modulations are useful in the identification of these targets. In this thesis, the parameters of micro-Doppler signals from helicopter targets are estimated for the classification of the helicopters. Time-frequency analy...
Algebraic spectral moments based moving clutter parameter estimation and clutter suppression Oktar, Onur; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In many modern radar systems, it is desired to detect the presence of targets in the interference which includes clutter and noise. Various signal processing techniques are proposed to effectively suppress the clutter and increase the signal to interference ratio. To achieve optimum suppression, radar system must know clutter characteristics and process the radar echoes based on these characteristics. For ground radars, the clutter environment characteristics are relatively stable and predictable. These cha...
Simulation and verification of security attacks on light-weight RFID protocols Ahmed, Saman; Diker Yücel, Melek; Department of Cryptography (2014) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is fast reaching all avenues of application. From retail to warehousing, tracking farm animals to monitoring medicine dosage in human body, traffic control to airport baggage control, it is penetrating all forums and industries and providing ease of deployment and automated visibility and management of inventories which was not possible with traditional barcodes. Along with its superiority over barcodes, RFID systems are also required to be costeffective to b...
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Radar for Range Detection Kaya, Tevfik; Sahin, Enes Burak; Nesimoglu, Tayfun (2018-11-02) In this paper, a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Radar is built using radio frequency techniques. Radar can measure the nearest object's range from 2 to 30 meters with 1-meter range resolution. The design process was carried out by using computer-aided design techniques, and mathematical tools. The hardware prototype was built and measurements were carried out confirming successful operation of the range detection radar.
