Conference Object Adaptive Limited Feedback Scheme for Stream Selection Based Interference Alignment in Heterogeneous Networks(IEEE, 2016) Beyazıt, Esra Aycan; Özbek, Berna; Le Ruyet,D.This paper presents a stream selection based interference alignment approach with imperfect channel state information for heterogeneous networks. The proposed algorithm performs the selection of a stream sequence among a predetermined set of sequences. Those selected sequences are the ones that mostly contribute to the sum rate when performing the exhaustive search. These stream sequences form a regular structure where the first stream is associated to a pico user. The effect of imperfect channel state information on the proposed algorithm is analyzed and a bit allocation scheme is proposed by deriving an upper bound on the rate loss due to quantization. © 2016 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Electromagnetic Effects of Equatorially Misaligned Rf Cavities(IOP Publishing, 2021) Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, FatihOne of the most challenging problems in modern particle accelerator systems is the manufacture of RF cavities within the desired tolerance limits. In this study experimental and computational investigations to quantify the effects of transversal half-cell misalignments on the fundamental accelerator cavity parameters and beam dynamics are presented. Equivalent circuit components of an equatorially misaligned single-cell aluminum elliptical cavity are obtained from the measured data and are employed to calculate longitudinal impedance and modal wake function. Critical coupling and bead-pull measurements are performed at the TM010-like mode frequency, 2.45 GHz for the quality factor and shunt impedance of the high-beta cavity. We report equivalent circuit analysis for higher-order modes and variations of the equivalent circuit components with respect to considered misalignment errors for the MICE experiment's muon cooling cavity. It is shown that using the equivalent circuit model decreases the computational load significantly for the wake field simulations of resonator cavities. Good agreement between simulations and measurements in terms of accelerating cavity parameters and impedances is illustrated.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Structure and Performance Evaluation of Fractional Lower-Order Covariance Method in Alpha-Stable Noise Environments(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2019) Ahmed, Areeb; Savacı, Ferit AcarBackground: All existing time delay estimation methods, i.e. correlation and covariance, depend on second or higher-order statistics which are inapplicable for the correlation of alpha-stable noise signals. Therefore, fractional lower order covariance is the most appropriate method to measure the similarity between the alpha-stable noise signals. Methods: In this paper, the effects of skewness and impulsiveness parameters of alpha-stable distributed noise on fractional lower order covariance method have been analyzed. Results: It has been found that auto-correlation, i.e. auto fractional lower order covariance, \ of non delayed alpha-stable noise signals follows a specific trend for specific ranges of impulsiveness and skewness parameters of alpha-stable distributed noise. The results also depict that, by maintaining the skewness and impulsiveness parameters of alpha-stable noise signals in a certain suggested range, better auto-correlation can be obtained between the transmitted and the received alpha-stable noise signals in the absence and presence of additive white Gaussian noise. Conclusion: The obtained results would improve signal processing in alpha-stable noise environment which is used extensively to model impulsive noise in many noise-based systems. Mainly, it would optimize the performance of random noise-based covert communication, i.e. random communication.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 18Separating Normosmic and Anosmic Patients Based on Entropy Evaluation of Olfactory Event-Related Potentials(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Güdücü, Çağdaş; Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Schaefer, L.; Aziz, M.; Schriever, V. A.; Özgören, Murat; Hummel, T.Objective: Methods based on electroencephalography (EEG) are used to evaluate brain responses to odors which is challenging due to the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio. This is especially difficult in patients with olfactory loss. In the present study, we aim to establish a method to separate functionally anosmic and normosmic individuals by means of recordings of olfactory event-related potentials (OERP) using an automated tool. Therefore, Shannon entropy was adopted to examine the complexity of the averaged electrophysiological responses. Methods: A total of 102 participants received 60 rose-like odorous stimuli at an inter-stimulus interval of 10 s. Olfactory-related brain activity was investigated within three time-windows of equal length; pre-, during-, and post-stimulus. Results: Based on entropy analysis, patients were correctly diagnosed for anosmia with a 75% success rate. Conclusion: This novel approach can be expected to help clinicians to identify patients with anosmia or patients with early symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders. Significance: There is no automated diagnostic tool for anosmic and normosmic patients using OERP. However, detectability of OERP in patients with functional anosmia has been reported to be in the range of 50%.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Compact Wideband Tapered-Fed Printed Bow-Tie Antenna With Rectangular Edge Extension(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Bozdağ, Göksenin; Seçmen, MustafaIn this article, a wideband printed bow-tie antenna is designed entire band of GPS (L5), PCS, IMT-2000, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX bands, and the most of frequency range of UWB. Apart from the traditional designs, the proposed antenna includes tapered printed line with a feeding point patch and triangular bows with rectangular edge extensions, which makes the antenna more compact. The antenna realized at the frequency band of 1.49-9.5 GHz (more than 6.3:1 ratio bandwidth) has the dimensions of 122mmx56mm (0.61(0)x0.28(0)). According to measurement results, the realized gain varies between almost 1 and 6.5 dBi with 4.44dBi average, which are in good agreement with simulation results. Radiation patterns at the lower frequencies of operating band show dipole like radiation pattern with higher cross-pol discrimination levels while they degrade at the higher frequencies due to increase in gain.
