Yayın Co-array optimization of CMUT arrays for forward-looking IVUS(IEEE, 2009-09) Tekeş, Coşkun; Karaman, Mustafa; Değertekin, Fahrettin LeventThe ring annular array structure is a preferred configuration for implementing Forward-Looking IVUS (FLIVUS) catheters as it allows for volumetric imaging as well as use of a guidewire at the center. CMUT technology is promising for these arrays especially with the flexibility of locating array elements on the circular donut area efficiently. To take advantage of this flexibility, in this study, we introduce a new co-array sampling strategy that improves imaging performance while keeping the number of firings at a level suitable for real-time imaging. The presented co-array sampling strategy is based on the idea of adjusting the element density of the co-array rings in radial direction to suppress side lobes. In non-uniform sampling of the co-array with a given number of firings, the inter-element distances are adjusted both in radial and angular direction from inner ring to outer ring to fit a given apodization function. To test the imaging performance, we performed numerical simulations of the co-array with non-uniform sampling fitting to the raised-cosine apodization. The simulation results shows that sidelobe level can be reduced more than 10 dB by using non-uniform co-array sampling. This approach does use uniform weighting of all Tx and Rx elements in beamforming, and hence does not cause any SNR loss for apodization.Yayın Power control in the cognitive cooperative multiple access channel(IEEE, 2012) Kaya, Onur; İşleyen, MuratWe extend several encoding and decoding techniques from cooperative communications framework, to a cognitive radio system consisting of a primary user (PU) and a secondary user (SU), sending their messages to a common receiver. Assuming that the transmitters and the receiver have full channel state information (CSI) collected and distributed by the common receiver, and that the SU knows the PU's codebook, the cooperation is obtained by block Markov superposition coding, and backwards decoding, which yield a causal overlay scenario. We formulate two rate optimization problems with the aim of, (i) maximizing the sum rate of the system, and (ii) maximizing the rate of the secondary user. We obtain the optimal power allocations for both cases, and the resulting rate regions. The power controlled cooperation turns out to be especially useful when maximizing the sum rate of the system, as it gives the PU significant rate rewards for allowing the cognitive transmitter to access its resources.Yayın A study on RF/microwave tunable inductor topologies(IEEE, 2013) Turgul, Volkan; Nesimoğlu, Tayfun; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaRecently, tunable structures gained importance due to frequency agile microwave circuits such as tunable filters, matching networks, amplifiers, etc. that are needed to realize reconfigurable radios. Deploying tunable inductors would increase the flexibility in reconfigurable microwave circuits when used in conjunction with variable capacitors. In this paper we investigate several tunable inductor topologies. Each proposed topology has certain advantages/disadvantages and these are addressed throughout the paper.Yayın New sufficient criteria for global robust stability of neural networks with multiple time delays(Işık University Press, 2012) Yücel, Eylem; Arık, SabriIn this paper, we study global robust asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for neural networks with multiple time delays. By employing suitable Lyapunov functionals, we derive a set of delay independent sufficient conditions for global robust asymptotic stability of this class of neural networks. Some examples are constructed to compare the reported results with the related existing results. This comparison proves that our results establish a new set of robust stability criteria for delayed neural networks. It is also demonstrated that the reported results can be easily verified as they can be expressed in terms of the network parameters only.
