We propose a miniaturized photonic switch, which utilizes (recently discovered) plasmon analog of index enhancement. An index is tuned via a control (auxiliary) pulse. The operation principle of the proposed device, composed of a few layers of nanorod dimers, is different than the conventional photonic switches. In the proposed device, a stop band is created at the desired frequency determined by the control pulse frequency. Calculated modulation depths are quite large, and response time is determined by the plasmon lifetime. The method we propose here is based on linear operation that requires low power and has very small foot-print that satisfies the major needs to be the choice of a switching scheme for integrated optics.

Analysis of vision aided inertial navigation systems
Yuksel, Yigiter; Kaygisiz, H. Burak (2006-04-19)
We propose in this paper a method to integrate inertial navigation systems with electro optic imaging devices. Our method is based on updating the inertial navigation system in a Kalman filter structure using line of sight measurements obtained from a camera. The proposed method is analyzed based on a UAV scenario generated by our trajectory simulator and the results are provided here. The results show that even a single vision aid can improve the performance of inertial navigation system.
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,...
Automatic Point Matching and Robust Fundamental Matrix Estimation for Hybrid Camera Scenarios
Bastanlar, Yalin; Temizel, Alptekin; Yardimci, Yasemin (2009-04-11)
In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the fundamental matrix for hybrid cameras robustly. In our study a catadioptric omnidirectional camera and a perspective camera were used to obtain hybrid image pairs. For automatic feature point matching, we employed Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and improved matching results with the proposed image preprocessing. We also performed matching using virtual camera plane (VCP) images, which are unwarped from the omnidirectional image and carries perspec...
GPS-Based Real-Time Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites Using Robust Unscented Kalman Filter
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Erdogan, Eren; Pamuk, Onur (2017-11-01)
In this research, a novel algorithm for real-time orbit determination (RTOD) is presented using the robust unscented Kalman filter (RUKF) with global positioning system (GPS) group and phase ionospheric correction (GRAPHIC) observables. To increase the reliability of the solution, a robust approach is included in the UKF to cope with the bad, invalid, or degraded measurements leading to the divergence or inaccurate output of the filter. Robustness is provided by making the filter less sensitive to faulty me...
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...
