    Experimental Investigation of Refractive Index Measurement of Common Solvents and Aqueous Solutions in the Infrared Wavelengths
    (2018) Yüksel, K.; İde, C
    We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a fast and simple technique to measure refractive index of liquids. A commercial Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) was implemented for interrogating sensor tips from a remote location. The system uses Fresnel reflected light from standard single mode fiber tips as sensing points without requiring any chemical coating, delicate fiber components, and/or sophisticated architecture at the sensor head. We reported new measurements of refractive indices of common solvents and solutions at both 1550 nm and 1625 nm. The precision of the proposed measurement system was found to be in the order of 10-4. The experimental results have been validated by the way of theoretical calculations.

    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.

    Carrier Frequency Offset Based Shared Randomness for Secure Transmission in M-Psk Noma
    (IEEE, 2023) Göztepe, Caner; Karabulut Kurt, Güneş; Özbek, Berna
    Power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enhances spectral efficiency by superposing multiple users in the same time-frequency resource block at the expense of exposing the users' data. However, current approaches to improve the secrecy levels of users are limited to rate reduction. This paper proposes a secure NOMA system based on the shared randomness extracted from the reciprocal carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) between the transmitter-receiver pairs for M-ary phase-shift keying. As multiple users will have physically separated oscillators, it will result in independent CFOs among users. This randomness is used to introduce a constellation rotation in the transmitted symbols. We show that under ideal CFO estimates, the proposed approach achieves perfect secrecy among all NOMA users without introducing any rate reduction. We also demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed approach by using a software-defined radio-based test bed. © 2023 IEEE.

    Detection Scheme for Pnc-Based Cell-Free Mimo Systems
    (IEEE, 2023) Cumali, Irem; Ozbek, Berna; Kurt, Gunes Karabulut
    Cell-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.

    Compact Proton Accelerator in Uhf Band at Kahvelab
    (JACoW Publishing, 2022) Esen, S.; Adıgüzel, A.; Koçer, O.; Çağlar, A.; Çelebi, E.; Öz, S.; Özcan, V.E.; Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, Fatih; Yılmaz, Hasan Önder
    Proton Test Beam at KAHVELab (Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation Laboratory) project aims to design and produce a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) operating at 800 MHz in Istanbul, Turkey using the local resources. The beamline consists of a proton source, a low energy beam transport (LEBT) line including the beam diagnostic section and the RFQ cavity itself. This RFQ is 4-vane, 1-meter-long cavity to accelerate the 20 keV beam extracted from plasma ion source to 2 MeV. Its engineering prototype is already produced and subjected to mechanical, low power RF and vacuum tests. In this study, the results of the first test production, especially the bead-pull test setup will be discussed. © 2022 Proceedings - Linear Accelerator Conference, LINAC. All rights reserved.

    A Framework for Physical Layer Network Coding With Multiple Antennas for Bpsk
    (IEEE, 2023) İlgüy, Mert; Özbek, Berna
    Physical 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.

    Sensory and Sensorimotor Gating in Children With Subclinical Hypothyroidism
    (2023) Kocaaslan Atlı, Sibel; Olgaç Dündar, Nihal; Erdoğan, Uğraş; Evirgen Esin, Nur; Bayazıt, Turan Onur; Kahya, Mehmet Cemal; Çatlı, Gönül; Gençpınar, Pınar; Dündar, Bumin Nuri
    Objective: Attention and learning problems have been reported in children diagnosed with subclinic hypothyroidism (SH). Sensory gating is an automatic phenomenon that is related to attentional processes. It is known that an impairment in sensory/sensorimotor gating negatively affects the signal processing mechanism and hence attention and learning processes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of SH on sensory gating processes via P50 suppression and prepulse inhibition (PPI) in children. Methods: Fifteen children aged 8-16 years, diagnosed with SH, and 15 healthy children were included in the study. Auditory P50 suppression and PPI paradigms were applied during the recordings. P50 suppression was examined via auditory brain potentials recorded by electroencephalography. PPI was evaluated via electromyography, in which the blink reflex was recorded by oculomotor muscle activity. Results: No statistical difference was found in P50 suppression and PPI processes between children in the SH and control groups. These findings indicate that the sensory gating processes children with SH are not affected. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that the sensory gating processes of SH children are not affected. However, considering that brain maturation continues until the age of 20s, it may be more useful to scrutinize these processes with a wider age range and a larger number of participants to reveal more clearly how sensory gating is affected by SH.

    Physical Layer Network Coding Enabled Noma With Multiple Antennas
    (IEEE, 2022) İlgüy, Mert; Özbek, Berna; Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Pereira, Aathur
    In 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.

    Interference Mitigation for Device-To Based Cellular Communications
    (IEEE, 2022) Acar, Süleyman Onur; Özbek, Berna
    Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks can improve the performance of cellular systems and it provides an effective way to meet growing mobile traffic and capacity demand. When user equipments are located in close proximity, they can communicate through direct links. In this case, D2D links can increase both energy and spectrum efficiency by reusing uplink (UL) cellular resources while satisfying the users' quality-of-service requirements. However, integrating D2D links into the cellular infrastructure causes an interference since D2D communication can increase co-channel interference and degrade cellular users' transmission link quality. In this paper, the interference mitigation techniques including power control, multiple antenna and resource allocation based on graph coloring are proposed for D2D communications underlaying cellular systems to increase the data rate of both the cellular users and D2D pairs. Compared to the prior works, in the proposed algorithm, D2D and cellular users have same priority for resource allocation. Finally, the proposed algorithm improves the overall system capacity significantly.

    Model-free output feedback controller design for twin rotor systems
    (Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi, 2020) Deniz, Meryem; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Bayrak, Alper
    In this work, tracking control of twin rotor systems is aimed. The control problem is restricted by the lack ofmathematical model of the twin rotor and further complicated by the unavailability of the angular velocitymeasurements. A model–free controller in conjunction with a high gain observer is designed. Experiments performed on atwin rotor system demonstrates the viability of the controller–observer couple.
