Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Papercraft Doppler Radar Measurements Based on Covariance Eigenvalue Spectrum-Assisted Empirical Mode Decomposition(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Onay, Fatih; Onay, Fatih; Karatay, Anil; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDoppler radar systems encounter challenges due to their high costs, cumbersome designs, and heavy weights, especially in resource-limited environments. As a promising alternative, papercraft Doppler radar has emerged, offering a lightweight, easily deployable and cost-effective solution. However, despite many advantages, papercraft-based radar faces inherent challenges due to the material used, which leads to vulnerability to external stimuli. In this article, a novel method is proposed demonstrating that papercraft Doppler radar can achieve high performance comparable to its aluminum counterparts and perform multitarget detection even in noisy environment with multiple stimuli. For the first time, we integrate a papercraft Doppler radar with the proposed covariance eigenvalue spectrum (CES)-assisted empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method, significantly improving the performance of the papercraft radar system. Single and multitarget detection, exploiting proper intrinsic mode function (IMF) selection, is achieved through the CES algorithm, which distinguishes between the target and unwanted components via proper windowing and weighting of the decomposed radar signal. According to the results, the proposed method significantly enhances multitarget movement detection and outperforms existing methods.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Practical and Cost-Effective Approach for Thermal Light Characterization Based on Confined Area Measurements(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPhoton statistics and optical coherence measurements are essential in understanding light sources' properties and behaviors. However, the measurement setups require sophisticated detectors with short integration times. Otherwise, the results are indeed time average, which poses a significant challenge, particularly for thermal light sources due to their very short coherence times. In this article, we present a novel, practical, and low-cost measurement procedure for characterizing photon statistics and the second-order coherence function of thermal light using an ordinary charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. We focus on single-pixel analysis through the experiments since measurements of randomly distributed light in a confined region follow Bose-Einstein statistics. This way, the likelihood of averaging during detection is reduced, allowing us to extract statistical information from the spatially distributed intensity values. The outcomes prove the effectiveness of confined area measurements method by overcoming the detector's long exposure time issue.
