    EEG signal compression based on classified signature and envelope vector sets
    (Wiley, 2009-03) Gürkan, Hakan; Güz, Ümit; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper, a novel method to compress electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is proposed. The proposed method is based on the generation process of the classified signature and envelope vector sets (CSEVS), which employs an effective k-means clustering algorithm. It is assumed that both the transmitter and the receiver units have the same CSEVS. In this work, on a frame basis, EEG signals are modeled by multiplying only three factors called as classified signature vector, classified envelope vector, and gain coefficient (GC), respectively. In other words, every frame of an EEG signal is represented by two indices R and K of CSEVS and the GC. EEG signals are reconstructed frame by frame using these numbers in the receiver unit by employing the CSEVS. The proposed method is evaluated by using some evaluation metrics that are commonly used in this area such as root-mean-square error, percentage root-mean-square difference, and measuring with visual inspection. The performance of the proposed method is also compared with the other methods. It is observed that the proposed method achieves high compression ratios with low-level reconstruction error while preserving diagnostic information in the reconstructed EEG signal.

    Design of multiband matching ladders without mutual coupling using parametric representation of Brune functions
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2020-10-01) Yıldız, Serkan; Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this study, a semianalytical method for the design of mutual coupling free multiband matching networks is introduced. A new parametric representation of Brune functions is used for the construction of multiband ladder network topologies without mutual induction. The method involves the use of Fujisawa's constraints for low pass ladders having finite transmission zeros, in a parametric representation of driving point impedance function resulting in mutual inductance free Brune sections. The developed parametric representation is incorporated with Real Frequency Techniques to design matching networks with a plurality of pass bands. Several illustrative design examples are presented to validate the method.

    An eclectic approach to design tunable amplifiers
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-07) Nesimoğlu, Tayfun; Aydın, Çağatay; Atilla, Doğu Çağdaş; Köprü, Ramazan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    Broadband amplifiers that can accommodate commercial communication standards such as GSM, UMTS, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Max are extremely important for radio equipment manufacturers. To achieve this coverage, the amplifier should provide high gain and efficiency over a band from 800 to 5200 MHz. Although there are transistor devices that have cut-off frequencies well over these frequencies, amplifiers covering such a broad-bandwidth are difficult to design due to the requirement of broadband matching networks. In this work, design of broadband tunable matching networks is investigated using Real Frequency Direct Computational Technique (RF-DCT). In order to be able to work on sample structures, impedance transforming filters are chosen and a broadband tunable matching network has been designed. Implementation of tunable inductors is investigated and the performance of a tunable matching network using tunable inductors and capacitors is demonstrated. Eventually a broadband frequency tunable amplifier has been designed using the tunable inductor concept.

    Immitance data modelling via linear interpolation techniques: a classical circuit theory approach
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-11) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Kılınç, Ali; Aksen, Ahmet
    With the advancement of the manufacturing technologies to produce new generation analog/digital communication systems, immitance data modelling has gained renewed importance in the literature. Specifically, models are utilized for behaviour characterization, simulation of physical devices or to design sub-systems with active and passive solid-state devices. Therefore, in this paper, new computer aided tools are presented to model one port immitance data by means of linear interpolation techniques. The basic philosophy of the new modelling tools is based on the numerical decomposition of the immitance data into its minimum and Foster parts. Computer algorithms are presented to model the minimum and the Foster parts of the given immitance data. Implementations of these algorithms are exhibited by means of examples. Depending on the application, modelling tools based on linear interpolation techniques may present 'computational and practical' advantages over the existing interpolation techniques, non-linear curve fittings or regression methods. It is expected that the new modelling tools will be utilized to provide initial circuit topologies to the commercially available analysis/simulation and design packages.

    A real frequency approach to describe lossless two-ports formed with mixed lumped and distributed elements
    (Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2001) Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    The design of microwave filters, matching networks, amplifiers, that Is the "Broadband Networks" with mixed lossless lumped and distributed elements, has been a significant concern of the circuit theoreticians of the field. Yet, there has been no complete practical solution Introduced In the literature so far. In this paper, an attempt has been made to design broadband networks constructed with a cascade connection of low pass LC ladders connected with commensurate transmission lines. The new design procedure Is based on the two-variable description of the Simplified Real Frequency Technique. Up to five mixed-elements explicit equations are given to describe some selected network topologies. In general, synthesis Is carried out employing a decomposition technique first Introduced by Alfred Fettwels. A "Double Matching Design" example is presented to exhibit the merits and the application of the new approach.

    A new method to represent speech signals via predefined signature and envelope sequences
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007) Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    A novel systematic procedure referred to as "SYMPES" to model speech signals is introduced. The structure of SYMPES is based on the creation of the so-called predefined "signature S = {S(R)(n)} and envelope E = {E(K) (n)}" sets. These sets are speaker and language independent. Once the speech signals are divided into frames with selected lengths, then each frame sequence X(i)( n) is reconstructed by means of the mathematical form X(i)( n) = C(i)E(K) (n) S(R)(n). In this representation, C(i) is called the gain factor, S(R)(n) and E(K) (n) are properly assigned from the predefined signature and envelope sets, respectively. Examples are given to exhibit the implementation of SYMPES. It is shown that for the same compression ratio or better, SYMPES yields considerably better speech quality over the commercially available coders such as G. 726 (ADPCM) at 16 kbps and voice excited LPC-10E (FS1015) at 2.4 kbps.

    SIMSec: A key exchange protocol between SIM card and service provider
    (Springer New York LLC, 2016-08-01) Ok, Kerem; Coşkun, Vedat; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Çevikbaş, Cem; Özdenizci Köse, Büşra
    Mobile technology is so popular and overdosed adoption is inevitable in today’s world. As the mobile technologies have advanced, Service Providers (SP) have offered services via Smartphones and some of them required secure data communication between the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards on Smartphones and the servers of SP. The latest SIM cards comply with recent specifications including secure domain generation, mobile signatures, pre-installed encryption keys, and other useful security services. Nevertheless, un-keyed SIM cards do not satisfy such requirements, thus end-to-end encryption between the SIM card and SP cannot be provided. In this paper, we provide a key exchange protocol, which creates a symmetric key through the collaborative work of the SIM card and the SP server. After a successful protocol performance, the SIM card and SP can perform end-to-end data encryption. After defining the protocol, we also discuss the security issues and provide a formal security analysis of the protocol using the Casper/FDR tool.

    Modeling of electrocardiogram signals using predefined signature and envelope vector sets
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007) Gürkan, Hakan; Güz, Ümit; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    A novel method is proposed to model ECG signals by means of "predefined signature and envelope vector sets (PSEVS)." On a frame basis, an ECG signal is reconstructed by multiplying three model parameters, namely, predefined signature vector (PSV)(R)," "predefined envelope vector (PEV)(K)," and frame-scaling coefficient (FSC). All the PSVs and PEVs are labeled and stored in their respective sets to describe the signal in the reconstruction process. In this case, an ECG signal frame is modeled by means of the members of these sets labeled with indices R and K and the frame-scaling coefficient, in the least mean square sense. The proposed method is assessed through the use of percentage root-mean-square difference (PRD) and visual inspection measures. Assessment results reveal that the proposed method provides significant data compression ratio (CR) with low-level PRD values while preserving diagnostic information. This fact significantly reduces the bandwidth of communication in telediagnosis operations. Copyright (c) 2007 Hakan Gurkan et al.
