However, conventional electrical, optical, and physical reconfiguration methods often come with several disadvantages such as deteriorated radiation pattern, reduced radiation efficiency, and high cost. Therefore, the aim of this article is to integrate microwave components that can be controlled using liquid metal (LM) displacement into a Doppler radar to adjust its main lobe direction and operating frequency to the desired values and enhance the measurement capacity of the respective radar. Through this study, multiple parameters of an operational Doppler radar have been simultaneously adjusted using LM displacement exploitation for the first time, thus avoiding the shortcomings associated with conventional reconfiguration methods. To achieve this objective, initially, a back-to-back Vivaldi antenna operating at 2.45 GHz is designed, and beam switching ability is imparted to the structure using the LM displacement method. Subsequently, various techniques are used to convert the structure into a dual-band antenna capable of simultaneous operation at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, ensuring the desired beam switching feature at both the frequencies. In addition, a power divider capable of switching between the two operating frequencies through LM assistance is proposed, and its integration into the radar system enables the control of both main lobe direction and frequency using the proposed method.Conference Object Detection Scheme for Pnc-Based Cell-Free Mimo Systems(IEEE, 2023) Cumali, Irem; Ozbek, Berna; Kurt, Gunes KarabulutCell-free multiple-input multiple-output (cell-free MIMO) is a promising concept to overcome inter-cell interference and avoid non-uniform data rates among users by combining the best features of ultra-dense networks and MIMO. Hence, cell-free MIMO can fulfill the increasing demand on data rate with uniformly good coverage for the sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications. In addition to that, physical-layer network coding (PNC) reduces the transmission delay since it requires only two time slots instead of four time slots to exchange information between two users. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme called PNC-based cell-free MIMO to improve reliability further while reducing the transmission delay. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme regarding the bit error rate in different system configurations. The proposed PNC-based cell-free MIMO achieves significantly lower error probability than the conventional cell-free MIMO.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Görgül kip ayrıştırması kullanılarak optik faz kırınımında hassasiyet iyileştirilmesi(IEEE, 2023) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihPhase diffraction is a potent property used in transparent dielectric film characterization. The measured diffraction pattern on the camera is evaluated by matching numerically computed diffraction patterns to determine the optical properties of the ultra-thin films (refractive index, thickness, etc.). However, the obtained diffraction data is not only a nonlinear and non-stationary signal but also exhibits micron-scale variations, thus limiting the measurement accuracy. Therefore, it is challenging to identify shifts in minima and deviations in amplitude on diffraction data to extract information about the optical properties of phase objects. In this study, it is aimed to improve the thickness sensitivity of the system by applying Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to plane wave-based near-field phase diffraction data. Since EMD is very sensitive to abrupt changes in the signal due to the spatial frequency components, the nanoscale variations in the film thickness become more observable and detectable. Experimental outputs and numerical simulations show that the decomposition increases the thickness sensitivity comparing the classical matching technique.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Parkinson hastalığı sınıflandırmasına yönelik ivmeölçer tabanlı zamanlama analizi(IEEE, 2023) Karaçalı, Bilge; Onay, FatihParkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia, resulting in cognitive and motor impairments. In this study, accelerometer signals were used to estimate the delay time between the command to start pedaling and the actual movement onset in three groups: healthy individuals (n=13), Parkinson's disease patients (n=13), and patients with freezing of gait symptoms (n=13). Features were extracted from the delay time distributions for each participant and subjected to a triple classification. Linear support vector machine achieved a classification accuracy of 69.2% for all participants. Notably, the average time to start pedaling was found to be significantly different among the three groups, and accelerometer-based timing analysis could be used as a diagnostic tool to assist clinical tests.Conference Object Dalgacık gürültü giderme yöntemiyle mikrodalga bileşen karakterizasyonunun iyileştirilmesi(IEEE, 2023) Karatay, Anıl; Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Yaman, FatihIn this study, an efficient approach is presented to improve the characterization of various microwave components commonly used in communication and radar applications, such as antennas and power dividers. The components were initially simulated and then fabricated using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurements of the fabricated components were performed using a low-cost but noisy coaxial cable, and the measurement results were processed using a wavelet-based noise reduction method. For comparison purposes, the Haar and Daubechies-4 (DB4) wavelet functions were applied separately, and the results were examined. It was observed that the correlation and root mean square error between the ideal and measurement results improved in a positive direction with the noise reduction application. This approach provides significant cost and labor advantages, particularly when expensive elements such as gold and silver are used in coaxial cables that are physically free from noise. The experimental and numerical results show good agreement between the ideal simulation results and the filtered measurement results.Conference Object Algıda gecikme ve kısa-ömürlü senkronizasyon temelli yeni bir hayali motor aktivite tanıma yaklaşımı(IEEE, 2023) Olcay, B. Orkan; Karaçalı, BilgeThis study proposes a novel approach for investigating a brain-computer interface that considers the temporal organization of brain activity, explicitly accounting for perception latency. To this end, we aligned the onset of task periods with the concurrence of left parietal and parieto-occipital electrodes to obtain the timings of perception latencies. Then, activity-specific synchronization timings between channel pairs were calculated using the time-aligned task periods. The perception latency and activity-specific synchronization timings were subsequently used for feature extraction and classification. The proposed approach achieved significantly better performance when comparing the proposed approach with the method that did not account for the perception latencyCorrection Corrections To “massive Mimo-Noma Based Mec in Task Offloading for Delay Minimization”(IEEE, 2023) Yılmaz, Saadet Simay; Özbek, Berna[No abstract available]Conference Object A Framework for Physical Layer Network Coding With Multiple Antennas for Bpsk(IEEE, 2023) İlgüy, Mert; Özbek, BernaPhysical layer network coding (PNC) is combined with multiple antennas to increase the spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems. In this work, we present a PNC framework including both uplink and downlink for binary phase shift keying (BPSK). In the uplink, we propose a scheme for detecting network-coded symbol (NCS) with reduced complexity. For the downlink, we propose a transmission scheme of NCS through maximum ratio transmission (MRT) by defining the precoding vector as an average of users' channels. The bit-error-rate (BER) performances and the comparison results with the conventional scheme in both downlink and uplink are provided for the proposed low-complexity PNC framework.Conference Object Testbed Sdr Implementation Approach for Millimetre Wave Iot Applications(IEEE, 2022) Glazkov, Roman; Özbek, Berna; Pyattaev, Alexander; Musavian, Leila; Koucheryavy, YevgeniMillimetre wave (mmWave) communication is a promising technology which can fulfil the growing demands for spectrum for future wireless networks. One of the key areas for the development of the mmWave networks is the Internet of Things (IoT) communications within fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G networks. For significant analysis and development of the compliant IoT systems through testbed implementation, current mmWave spectrum transceivers are too expensive when substantial number of the nodes is required by the IoT applications. Considering all the above, it is suggested to use Software Defined Radio (SDR) transceivers with a lower frequency band and with an increased distance between the nodes. The idea is to scale observation time and distance to emulate mmWave radio without actual mmWave hardware. Using scaling factors for the certain system parameters to keep the signal characteristics in accordance with the mmWave band makes it possible. This approach allows to develop mmWave IoT testbeds with significant improvement in the system scalability and cost-effectiveness without the need to transmit and receive the signal in the mmWave band. In this paper, the concept of SDR-based Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system combined with the observation time and distance scaling approach is proposed. As an example, a testbed with a simple Wireless Physical Network Coding scheme is implemented and demonstrated. © 2022 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Physical Layer Network Coding Enabled Noma With Multiple Antennas(IEEE, 2022) İlgüy, Mert; Özbek, Berna; Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Pereira, AathurIn this work, a combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with multiple antennas and physical layer network coding (PNC) scheme is proposed to increase the overall data rate. In the proposed scheme, we employ higher-order modulations for the users with relatively high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the PNC-NOMA pair to increase the data rate. Meanwhile, lower-order modulations are chosen for the users with relatively lower SNR values in the PNC-NOMA pair. We showed the results in terms of bit error rate (BER) for different number of antennas and users in the proposed PNC-NOMA scheme. © 2022 IEEE.
