The aim of this study is to compare the performance of different multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) array topologies, intended to be used in ultra-wideband (UWB) near-field imaging applications, by using an analysis method that does not include the effects of image reconstruction algorithm. For this purpose, maximum projection method, previously proposed for the analysis of UWB arrays under far-field conditions, is utilized and modified to obtain two way beam patterns of UWB arrays operating in the near-field. The side lobe levels of these beam patterns are shown to be a clear performance criterion for evaluating the performance of sparse antenna arrays. Numerical simulation results are compared with previously reported results for some commonly used array configurations and a good agreement is observed.

The Fast Multipole Method for Sparse Solution of Linear Inverse Scattering Problems Miran, Emre Alp; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2018-11-02) The sparse solution for the linear inverse problems provide useful results for many fundamental engineering applications such as radar imaging. The studies in the literature has shown that the computational methods for the sparse solution tend to be slow as the imaging problem gets electromagnetically large, therefore the image reconstruction gets harder for the existing computational resources. The fast multipole method (FMM) can reduce the number of operations and the memory requirement for the solution o...
Sparse linear sensor arrays: analysis of recent coarray based arrays and array design for nonlinear processing Epçaçan, Erdal; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-09) In this thesis, sparse linear sensor arrays have been studied. The study of sparse arrays in this work can be considered under two main headings: Analysis and comparison of recently proposed coarray based arrays, and the adaptation of the nonlinear apodization method for linear arrays and its use in sparse linear array design. Recently proposed coarray-based sparse arrays are designed with closed form structures without the need for any optimization and have much higher degrees of freedom (DOF) than a unif...
Analysis of Face Recognition Algorithms for Online and Automatic Annotation of Personal Videos Yılmaztürk, Mehmet; Ulusoy Parnas, İlkay; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan (Springer, Dordrecht; 2010-05-08) Different from previous automatic but offline annotation systems, this paper studies automatic and online face annotation for personal videos/episodes of TV series considering Nearest Neighbourhood, LDA and SVM classification with Local Binary Patterns, Discrete Cosine Transform and Histogram of Oriented Gradients feature extraction methods in terms of their recognition accuracies and execution times. The best performing feature extraction method and the classifier pair is found out to be SVM classification...
Investigation of tightly coupled arrays for wideband applications Arda, Kaan; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10) This thesis aims to provide in depth research on tightly coupled dipole arrays to be used in ultrawideband apertures applications. First, operation principles of tightly coupled dipole arrays are investigated. Starting from the Wheeler’s current sheet aperture concept, some calculations on bandwidth and impedance concepts are conducted. B.A. Munk’s addition to the concept, use of capacitive elements between adjacent dipoles, are introduced. Array unit cell is modeled using equivalent circuit approach,...
Performance improvement of a 3-D configuration reconstruction algorithm for an object using a single camera image Özkılıç, Sibel; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) Performance improvement of a 3-D configuration reconstruction algorithm using a passive secondary target has been focused in this study. In earlier studies, a theoretical development of the 3-D configuration reconstruction algorithm was achieved and it was implemented by a computer program on a system consisting of an optical bench and a digital imaging system. The passive secondary target used was a circle with two internal spots. In order to use this reconstruction algorithm in autonomous systems, an auto...
