Revolutionary developments in semiconductors lead to efficient deployment of lasers and photodetectors, thus enabling optical transmission of data signals, whether in fiber optic links or free space. Line of sight transmission characteristic of optics ensures the security of the data. With the incessant increase in the numbers of satellites and the data payload required to handle, it is inevitable that in the future we will see a shift towards optical networking, especially in the earth orbiting satellites. We demonstrate a novel all-optical multiplexing technique for doubling the usable spectral bandwidth and number of channels in subcarrier-modulated data transmission over free-space optical connections. By taking advantage of the chromatic-dispersion-induced RF power fading of a given subcarrier frequency, we can transmit two subcarrier channels that occupy the same frequency space.. We successfully transmit and receive two 155 Mbit/s data channels that are both located at 7.1 GHz.

The technological advances in Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and wireless communications have enabled the realization of wireless sensor networks (WSN) comprised of large number of low-cost, low-power multifunctional sensor nodes. These tiny sensor nodes communicate in short distances and collaboratively work toward fulfilling the application specific objectives of WSN. However, realization of wide range of envisioned WSN applications necessitates effective communication protocols which can address ...
Multi-objective evolutionary routing protocol for efficient coverage in mobile sensor networks
Attea, Bara'a A.; Khalil, Enan A.; Coşar, Ahmet (2015-10-01)
Individual sensors in wireless mobile sensor networks (MSNs) can move in search of coverage region for the sensing accuracy and for reaching the most efficient topology. Besides, sensors' clustering is crucial for achieving an efficient network performance. Although MSNs have been an area of many research efforts in recent years, integrating the coverage problem of MSNs with the efficient routing requirement that will maximize the network lifetime is still missing. In this paper, we consider the coverage op...
Frequency tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS technology
Erdıl, Emre; Topallı, Kagan; Unlu, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2007-04-01)
A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is presented that is monolithically integrated with RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitors for tuning the resonant frequency. Reconfigurability of the operating frequency of the microstrip patch antenna is achieved by loading it with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) stub on which variable MEMS capacitors are placed periodically. MEMS capacitors are implemented with surface micromachining technology, where a 1-mu m thick aluminum structural layer is plac...
HYBRID BEAMFORMING WITH TWO BIT RF PHASE SHIFTERS IN SINGLE GROUP MULTICASTING
Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-03-25)
In this paper, an efficient hybrid beamforming architecture combining analog and digital beamforming is proposed to reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains. It provides a good compromise between the higher degree of freedom of digital beamforming and hardware cost and complexity. In this hybrid system, two bit RF phase shifters are used as analog beamformers due to the fact that this enables the conversion of the combinatorial optimization problem to a continuous programming formulation. The overal...
Real-time intrusion detection and prevention system for SDN-based IoT networks
Sarıça, Alper Kaan; Angın, Pelin; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-9)
The significant advances in wireless networks with the 5G networks have made possible a variety of new IoT use cases. 5G and beyond networks will significantly rely on network virtualization technologies such as SDN and NFV. The prevalence of IoT and the large attack surface it has created calls for SDN-based intelligent security solutions that achieve real-time, automated intrusion detection and mitigation. In this thesis, we propose a real-time intrusion detection and mitigation system for SDN, which aims...
