    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.

    A novel image compression method based on classified energy and pattern building blocks
    (Springer International Publishing AG, 2011) Güz, Ümit
    In this paper, a novel image compression method based on generation of the so-called classified energy and pattern blocks (CEPB) is introduced and evaluation results are presented. The CEPB is constructed using the training images and then located at both the transmitter and receiver sides of the communication system. Then the energy and pattern blocks of input images to be reconstructed are determined by the same way in the construction of the CEPB. This process is also associated with a matching procedure to determine the index numbers of the classified energy and pattern blocks in the CEPB which best represents (matches) the energy and pattern blocks of the input images. Encoding parameters are block scaling coefficient and index numbers of energy and pattern blocks determined for each block of the input images. These parameters are sent from the transmitter part to the receiver part and the classified energy and pattern blocks associated with the index numbers are pulled from the CEPB. Then the input image is reconstructed block by block in the receiver part using a mathematical model that is proposed. Evaluation results show that the method provides considerable image compression ratios and image quality even at low bit rates.

    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.

    A new software tool to model measured RF-data with optimum circuit topology
    (IEEE, 2004) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Kılınç, Ali; Aksen, Ahmet
    In this paper a new S/W tool is presented to model measured RF data employing immitance interpolation techniques. This S/W tool also employs a recently developed sub-routine, which generates circuit models with least number of circuit elements by means of a novel numerical approach. Furthermore, an analytic procedure is introduced and implemented within the new S/W package to select proper sample-points subject to interpolation which in turn controls the interpolation error in the "near min-max sense" or the so-called "Chebyshev Sense". Hence, the optimum circuit topology for the given data is constructed. An example is presented to exhibit the utilization of the new tool. This new S/W package may be utilized as the front end to the commercially available Design and Analysis Packages such as ANSOFT, EAGELWARE etc.

    A novel fast algorithm for speech and audio coding
    (IEEE, 2007) Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this work a new mathematical modeling approach is proposed for the representation of the speech and audio signals. This approach is based on the generation of the so called Predefined Signature Sequence (PSS) and Predefined Envelope Sequence (PES) Sets. After the generation process of the PSS and PES sets, they are clustered by effective k-means clustering algorithm and the PSS and PES are redefined by using these centroids. By using this approach, the drawbacks by means of the size of the sets, speed of the reconstruction process (computational complexity) which arise in the proposed methods previously are highly eliminated. In spite of these improvements, the initial results proved that, the quality of the reconstructed signals remains within the limitations of the acceptable hearing quality.

    A novel method to represent the speech signals by using language and speaker independent predefined functions sets
    (IEEE, 2004) Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper a new modeling method of speech signals is introduced. The proposed method is based on the generation of the so-called Predefined Signature S={s(R)(t)} and Envelope Function E = {e(K)(t)} Sets (PSEFS). These function sets are independent of any speaker and any language. Once the speech signals are divided into frames with selected lengths, then each frame signal piece X-i(t) is synthesized by means of the mathematical form of x(i)(t)=C(i)e(K)(t)s(R)(t). In this representation, C-i is called the frame coefficient, s(R)(t) and e(K)(t) are properly assigned from the PSEFS respectively. It is shown that the proposed method provides fast reconstruction and substantial compression with acceptable hearing quality.

    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.

    Adaptive Kalman receiver for OFDM systems with transmit diversity in mobile wireless channels
    (Walter De Gruyter GMBH, 2004-12) Şen, Adnan; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
    A new joint channel tracking and symbol detection scheme is proposed in this paper for pilot symbol assisted transmit diversity OFDM systems by exploiting the correlation of the adjacent subchannels. Modelling the channel frequency response of every subcarrier corresponding to each transmit antenna as random processes, we employ Kalman filters for both channel tracking and subsequent decoding with diversity gain. Among different stochastic models, the AR model is adopted herein for channel dynamics. Since the proposed adaptive receiver uses two Kalman filters to track the variations of the channel and subsequently to detect the information symbols, they are combined in the coupled receiver structure. Finally the performance of the proposed method is studied through experimental results.

    Annular-ring CMUT arrays for forward-looking IVUS: Transducer characterization and imaging
    (IEEE, 2006-02) Değertekin, Fahrettin Levent; Güldiken, Rasim Oytun; Karaman, Mustafa
    In this study, a 64-element, 1.15-mm diameter annular-ring capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array was characterized and used for forward-looking intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging tests. The array was manufactured using low-temperature processes suitable for CMOS electronics integration oil a single chip. The measured radiation pattern of a 43 X 140- mu m(2) array element depicts a 40 degrees view angle for forward-looking imaging around a 15-MHz center frequency in agreement with theoretical models. Pulse-echo measurements show a -10-dB fractional bandwidth of 104% around 17 MHz for wire targets 2.5 mm away from the array in vegetable oil. For imaging and SNR measurements, RF A-scan data sets from various targets were collected using all interconnect scheme forming a 32-element array configuration. An experimental point spread function was obtained and compared with simulated and theoretical array responses, showing good agreement. Therefore, this study demonstrates that annular-ring CMUT arrays fabricated with CMOS-compatible processes are capable of forward-looking IVUS imaging, and the developed modeling tools can be used to design improved IVUS imaging arrays.
