An experimental and theoretical study on the utilization of observation channel for transmitter noise cancellation in in-band full-duplex radios

Conventional Half-Duplex (HD) systems orthogonalize transmitted and received signals either in time, frequency or both in order not to interfere a signal-of-interest with a transmitted signal. If this interference (also known as self-interference, SI) can be suppressed, a radio can perform simultaneous transmission and reception in the same time & frequency resource and, hence, known as In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD). IBFD systems potentially double the spectral efficiency compared to their HD counterparts as long as the SI does not saturate the ADC and is suppressed up to the receiver noise floor. However, unlike in HD systems, in IBFD the SI comprises transmitter noise. There are numerous research in literature that offer either propagation domain or analog domain transmitter noise cancellation solutions. Nevertheless, while the former suggestion requires multiple antennas, the latter needs either a bespoke & complex analog circuit design or a transmitter/receiver beamforming or both. In this thesis, an observation receiver is utilized in order to capture the same transmitter noise realization which leakes to the receiver for performing transmitter noise cancellation in the digital domain. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first digital domain transmitter noise cancellation technique performed in a nonlinear, single-antenna hardware setup.

On event signal reconstruction in wireless sensor networks
Atakan, Baris; Akan, Oezguer B. (2007-05-18)
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the effective detection and reconstruction of the event signal is mainly based on the regulation of sampling and communication parameters used by the sensor nodes. The aim of this paper is to understand the effect of these parameters on the reconstruction performance of event signal in WSN. Theoretical analysis and results show that with proper selection of sampling and communication parameters, the event signal can be satisfactorily reconstructed at the sink. Furthermore,...
An alternative multi-tone representation of complex signals for feedforward systems
Coskun, Hakan; Mutlu, Ahmet; Demir, Şimşek (2004-12-01)
Signals used in wireless communication have various stochastic behaviors depending on the type of the modulation. The systems are nonlinear and analysis of these systems with various types of signals is tedious. Therefore developing a universal analysis method and representing any type of input signal with a certain model, such as multi-tone representation and modeling, simplify the analysis and design of these systems enabling initial rapid optimizations and understanding of the system performance. In this...
Investigation of microwave metamaterial based on H-shaped resonator in a waveguide configuration and its sensor and absorber applications
Sabah, Cumali; Taygur, Mehmet Mert; ZORAL, EMİNE YEŞİM (2015-04-13)
A microwave metamaterial (MTM) based on H-shaped resonator in a waveguide configuration is introduced and investigated both numerically and experimentally for X-band frequencies. The proposed model is designed and fabricated on both sides of the substrate and exhibits strong magnetic resonance at around 10.5GHz. Additionally, it has very simple design which improves and simplifies the fabrication process. Besides, only one single slab is used in the simulation and experiment which provides a reduction in th...
Effects and characterisations of pulse electrodeposition parameters of silver in terms of scattering parameter and surface roughness for waveguides operating at high frequencies
Başaran, Caner; Karakaya, İshak (2021-01-01)
The signal quality of antennas and waveguides in the transmission of electromagnetic waves are very much dependent on the surface finish of these devices. Effects of pulse parameters on the surface properties of silver coatings of the copper substrates have been analysed in terms of surface roughness and S-parameter (scattering parameter). The duty cycle, frequency and average current density were used as three pulse parameters. Three levels were selected for each parameter in the experimental design. The s...
A new technique for line interference monitoring and reduction in biopotential amplifiers
Ider, Yusuf Ziya; Koymen, H. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1990-6)
Hardware developed to record the common mode line frequency signal on the body simultaneously with the ECG lead signals of a 15-channel computerized cardiograph is described. This interference reference signal and its quadrature, obtained by software, are linearly combined to be subtracted from any one of the channels to reduce the interference to below the quantization level of the 12 b A/D converter. Coefficients of the linear combination are estimated using linear regression, which is applied to the rela...
