    On the effect of random sampling jitter on cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing algorithms for cognitive radio
    (IEEE, 2009) Öner, Mustafa Mengüç
    Cognitive radio is an enabling technology, which is expected to lead to a more efficient utilization of the available spectral resources due to its flexibility and its ability to sense its spectral environment. Recently, spectrum sensing methods based on exploiting the cyclostationary characteristics of communication signals have been drawing considerable interest. Imperfections in the cognitive radio receiver that affect the cyclic statistics of a signal of interest may lead to a degradation in the performance of spectrum sensing algorithms based on cyclostationarity. One such typical source of imperfection is random timing jitter in the sampling process. In this work, we explore the effect of random sampling jitter on the second order cyclostationary statistics of wide sense cyclostationary signals. General analytical expressions are derived for the cyclic statistics of sampled signals in the presence of sampling jitter and specific results are provided for two cases of interest. Subsequently, the effect of the jitter on a spectrum sensing algorithm is investigated via simulations.

    A broadband microwave amplifier design by means of immittance based data modelling tool
    (IEEE, 2002) Kılınç, Ali; Pınarbaşı, Hacı; Şengül, Metin; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper a practical broadband microwave amplifier design algorithm is introduced utilizing the immittance data-modelling tool. In the course of design, first, the optimum input and output terminations for the active device are produced employing the real frequency technique. Then, these terminations are modelled utilizing the new immittance-modelling tool to synthesize the front-end and back-end matching networks. An example is included to exhibit the implementation of the proposed design algorithm to construct a single stage BJT amplifier over a wide frequency band. It is expected that the proposed design algorithm will find applications to realize wideband microwave amplifiers put on MMIC for mobile communication.

    Analysis of self noise in a clock recovery systems with a high-order nonlinearity
    (IEEE, 1998) Panayırcı, Erdal
    This paper presents a new technique to compute efficiently the I and Q spectra, and the I - Q cross-spectrum of the self noise appearing at the output of the zero-memory, high order nonlinear device employed in a clock recovery system. It is known that these spectra play an important role in the phase jitter performance of the clock regenerator. The results are very general and applicable to many cases of practical interest. A numerical example provided at the end of the paper shows that the new approach yields very accurate results and is much faster that the usual computer simulation method.

    Circuit model for given reflectance data constructed with mixed lumped and distributed elements for high speed/high frequency communication systems
    (IEEE, 2005) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Şengül, Metin; Kılınç, Ali; Aksen, Ahmet
    In this paper, a reflectance-based "non linear interpolation method" is presented to model the measured or computed data, obtained from a "passive one-port physical device" using mixed lumped and distributed elements. Mixed element model is constructed with cascade connection of series inductors [L], commensurate transmission lines or so called Unit Elements [UE] and shunt capacitors[C]. Basis of the new model rests on the numerical generation of the scattering parameters of the lossless two-port constructed with cascade connection of simple [L]-[UE]-[C] elements which describes a lossless 2-port in Darlington sense. The new modeling technique does not require direct optimization of the circuit elements of the selected topology. Rather, two-variable reflection coefficient is directly determined by means of a non linear but "convergence guaranteed" interpolation process to best fit the given data. A low-pass filter input reflection coefficient modeling example is included to exhibit the utilization of the proposed modeling method.

    (IEEE, 2003) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Aksen, Ahmet; Çimen, Ebru Gürsu
    In this paper, a semi-analytic method is presented to describe symmetrical lossless networks with two-kinds of elements, namely, distributed and lumped elements in cascade connection. in terms of the independently chosen parameters, element values of the lossless symmetrical networks are given by explicit formulas up to nine elements. It is expected that the results presented in this paper will find immediate usage in performance assessment, design and simulation of analog/digital wireless communication systems put on MMICs or VLSI chips.

    Damar içi öne bakan ultrasonik görüntüleme için eşdeğer dizi örnekleme yöntemleri
    (IEEE, 2009-06-26) Tekeş, Coşkun; Karaman, Mustafa
    Damar içi öne bakan ultrasonik görüntüleme gerçek zamanlı hacimsel (üç boyutlu) görüntülemeye imkan vermesi bakımından yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Damar içi görüntülemede fiziksel boyutların küçük olması nedeniyle alıcı-verici kanal sayısı çok sınırlanmakta ve dolayısıyla yapay evreli dizi teknikleri kullanılmaktadır. Öte yandan, harekete bağlı görüntü bozukluklarını azaltmak için işaret gönderme alma adım sayısının azaltılması gerekmektedir. Bu, eşdeğer dizideki fazlalık frekans bileşenleri azaltılarak sağlanabilir. Bu çalışmada, eşdeğer dizideki fazlalık frekans bileşenlerinin azaltılmasına dayalı farklı örnekleme teknikleri incelenmiştir. Bu tekniklerin görüntü kalitesi 64 elemanlı bir halkasal dizinin asıl ve kontrol eşdeğer dizileri referans alınarak karşılaştırmalı olarak irdelenmiştir. Benzetim sonuçları 64 elemanlı bir halka dizi için 2049 asıl küme, 350 azaltılmış küme 40 dB içinde eşdeğer performans vermektedir.

    Forward-looking IVUS imaging using a dual-annular ring CMUT array: Experimental results
    (IEEE, 2007) Güldiken, Rasim Oytun; Zahorian, Jaime S.; Gürün, Gökçe; Qureshi, Muhammad Shakeel; Balantekin, Müjdat; Tekeş, Coşkun; Hasler, Paul E.; Karaman, Mustafa; Carlier, Stephane; Değertekin, Fahrettin Levent
    This paper presents the experimental results on forward-looking Intravascular ultrasound (FL-IVUS) using dual-annular-ring CMUT arrays. The array has a diameter of 1mm including bondpads which consists of separate, concentric 24 transmit and 32 receive ring arrays built on the same silicon substrate. This configuration has the potential for Independent optimization of each array and uses the silicon area more effectively without any drawback. For imaging experiments, we designed and constructed a custom integrated circuit using a standard 0.5 mu m CMOS process for data acquisition. A sample pulse-echo signal received from the oil-air Interface (plane reflector) at 6mm had a center frequency of 11MHz with 95% fractional 6-dB bandwidth. The measured SNR of the echo was 24 dB with no averaging. B-scan image of a wire-phantom was generated to test the resolution.

    Forward-looking IVUS imaging using an annular-ring CMUT array
    (IEEE, 2005) Değertekin, Fahrettin Levent; Karaman, Mustafa; Güldiken, Rasim Oytun
    A 64-element, 1.15mm diameter annular-ring CMUT array was characterized and used for forward-looking IVUS imaging tests. The array was manufactured using low temperature processes suitable for CMOS electronics integration on a single chip. The 43×140µm2 array element has suitable view angle for forward looking imaging around 15MHz center frequency and pulse-echo measurements show nearly 100% fractional bandwidth around 17MHz. For imaging and SNR measurements, RF A-scan data sets from various targets were collected using an interconnect scheme forming a 32-element array configuration. The results demonstrate that annular-ring CMUT arrays fabricated with CMOS compatible processes are capable of forward-looking IVUS imaging.

    Virtual team effectiveness using dyadic teams
    (IEEE, 2007) Karayaz, Gamze; Keating, Charles B.
    The importance of effectiveness for virtual teamwork continues to gain momentum as technology and globalization of work accelerate. The implementation of virtual teams provides one approach to enhance competitiveness, overcoming the disadvantages of space and time differences through collaborative technologies. The influence of structure to virtual team performance has not been clearly established in the literature. The purpose of this research study was to investigate the effectiveness of a dyad structured approach for virtual teams using a quasi-experimental research design. A virtual dyadic team is considered as two person-structured teams working on a particular task in a virtual collaborative environment. This research investigated four questions related to the influence of structure on virtual team effectiveness related to task performance, communication frequency, and team satisfaction.The results showed significance differences between the two virtual teams. Dyadic teams performed better in arriving at the task solution using less communication to finish the task. Dyadic teams were also more satisfied with their task solution than the self-structured teams. However, results indicated that dyadic teams were not satisfied with operating as a dyadic team in this study. The research also demonstrated that team satisfaction was the most significant predictor of virtual team effectiveness. The paper concludes with implications for technology managers and suggests guidance for improved effectiveness in design and implementation of virtual teams.
