Multiple-snapshot maximum-likelihood (ML) direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem is studied for the intermittent jamming scenario. The intermittent jamming modality is based on the assumption that only a subset of the collected snapshots are contaminated by the jammer while the others are jammer-free; but the receiver does not know which is which. This type of jamming is frequently encountered in practice either inadvertently, say due to the sporadic activity of a non-hostile system; or intentionally, say due to the activity of an adversary sweeping the operational bandwidth of the receiver. Exact maximum likelihood solution for the problem is analytically intractable and an expectation maximization (EM) method based solution is developed for coherent and non-coherent signal models. Coherent signal model assumes that the phase difference between the coefficients of two consecutive snapshots are known a-priori which is an assumption compatible with the Swerling-1/3 target models in the radar signal processing literature. Non-coherent signal model does not have such an assumption and it is suitable for Swerling-2/4 targets. The suggested EM based solution is shown to yield an important estimation accuracy improvement over conventional maximum-likelihood solution which ignores the intermittency of jammer and also over the atomic norm based high resolution estimation techniques. Cramer-Rao type performance lower bounds for the problem is also provided to illustrate the efficacy of the suggested estimator.

Maximum-Weight Scheduling with Hierarchical Modulation Yalcin, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Onat, Furuzan Atay; Aktas, Defne; Numanoglu, Tolga; Kolagasioglu, Ahmet Ertugrul (2014-01-01) In this paper, hierarchical modulation is used in conjunction with maximum-weight scheduling to achieve lower transmission delays. Via hierarchical modulation, the scheduled user has the option to transmit to two users simultaneously. The results are compared with classical single-layered transmission. Simulation results show that packet transmission delays are lowered without any loss in throughput. In addition to this, it is demonstrated that hierarchical modulation is robust in point-to-point settings, a...
Performance analysis of direction-of-arrival estimation algorithms in the presence of array imperfections and multipath for different antenna array geometries / Çalışkan, Mustafa; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Direction of Arrival (DOA) Estimation is an important topic in signal processing. In this thesis, DOA estimation is considered when there are gain/phase mismatches, mutual coupling for the antennas and multipath signals are observed. In the first part, DOA estimation for uniform linear array (ULA) in the presence of mutual coupling is considered. Different methods in the literature are investigated and a promising solution for this case [1] is implemented. Auxiliary sensors are used and MUSIC algorithm is e...
DETERMINATION OF OPTIMUM INJECTED CURRENT PATTERNS IN ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY KOKSAL, A; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 1995-08-01) The problem of finding the optimum current under different constraints in electrical impedance tomography is cast into a non-linear optimization problem. Optimum currents are investigated for a two-dimensional cylindrical body with a concentric or an eccentric inhomogeneity under the constraints of constant dissipated power and constant total injected current. For a concentric inhomogeneity, it is shown that the opposite drive results in a better distinguishability than the cosine current pattern under the ...
Maximum-weight scheduling with hierarchical modulation for lower delay Yalcin, Ahmet Zahid; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Onat, Furuzan Atay; Aktas, Defne; Numanoglu, Tolga; Kolagasioglu, Ahmet Ertugrul (2016-01-01) In this paper, hierarchical modulation is used in conjunction with maximum-weight scheduling to achieve lower transmission delays. Via hierarchical modulation, the scheduled user has the option to transmit to two users simultaneously. In order to reflect service differentiation schemes used in upper layers, a scenario in which each user generates packets with different priority levels is considered. It is assumed that as long as there are high priority packets waiting in the scheduled user's queue, lower pr...
High Performance Harmonic Isolation By Means of The Single-phase Series Active Filter Employing The Waveform Reconstruction Method Senturk, Osman S.; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2009-09-24) This paper proposes the Waveform Reconstruction Method (WRM), which is utilized in the single-phase Series Active Filter's (SAF's) control algorithm, in order to extract the load harmonic voltage component of voltage harmonic type single-phase diode rectifier loads. Employing WRM and the line current sampling delay reduction method (SDRM), a single-phase SAF compensated system provides higher harmonic isolation performance and higher stability margins compared to the system using conventional synchronous re...
