Linearization of RF power amplifiers with memoryless baseband predistortion method Kolcuoğlu, Turusan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In modern wireless communication systems, advanced modulation techniques are used to support more users by handling high data rates and to increase the utilization efficiency of the limited RF spectrum. These techniques are sensitive to the nonlinear distortions due to their high peak to average power ratios. Main source of nonlinear distortion in transmitter topologies are power amplifiers that determine the overall efficiency and linearity of the transmitter. To increase linearity without sacrificing effi...
Modeling of asymmetric intermodulation distortion and memory effects of power amplifiers Yüzer, Ahmet Hayrettin; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) This dissertation is focused on developing a new passband behavioral model in order to account for asymmetric intermodulation distortion resulted from memory effect. First, a measurement setup is prepared to measure the AM/AM, AM/PM distortion, magnitudes and the phases of intermodulation (IMD) and fundamental (FUND) components which are created by the amplifier where phase is calculated only by measuring magnitudes. Then, responses of a sample amplifier are measured for different excitation situations (cen...
Experimental analysis and modelling of wear in rocket rail launchers Açmaz, Emre; Akkök, Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) Launchers are military systems that are responsible for communication with munitions, safe seperation and aiming of rockets and missiles to the target. Since they are military equipments, they are used in harsh environments. One of the most important design considerations for military equipment is its maintability and one of the most important parameter which affects the maintability is wear in launchers. Therefore, for predicting the life-time of a launcher, wear should be investigated beside other paramet...
Comments and Critics on the Discrepancies between the Oslo Manual and the Community Innovation Surveys in Developed and Developing Countries Beyhan, Berna; Dayar, Elif; Fındık, Derya; Tandoğan, Sinan (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), 2009) This study aims to investigate how successful Community Innovation Survey (CIS) is in reflecting main concerns of measuring innovation stated in the Oslo Manual. Although this survey has been widely applied throughout the European countries since 1992, the discussions over its suitability as a reliable tool to measure innovation along different cultures of innovativeness still remain. Motivated by the arguments on the reliability of CIS as a tool to measure innovation and its conformity to the guidelines of...
More Results from the Opera Experiment at the Gran Sasso Underground Lab Kamışcıoğlu, Mustafa (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt; 2017-09-05) The OPERA experiment reached its main goal by proving the appearance of nu(tau) in the CNGS nu(mu) beam. Five nu(tau) candidates fulfilling the analysis defined in the proposal were detected with a S/B ratio of about ten allowing to reject the null hypothesis at 5.1 sigma. The search has been extended by loosening the selection criteria in order to obtain a statistically enhanced, lower purity, signal sample. One such interesting neutrino interaction with a double vertex topology having a high probability o...
