    A novel nonlinear frequency modulated chirp signal for synthetic aperture radar and sonar imaging
    (Millî Savunma Üniversitesi, 2016-01-20) Bayındır, Cihan
    In order to maintain average power levels as well as high range resolution, phasecoded signals are used in radar and sonar signal processing. One of the most commonly used phase-coded signals is the linear frequency modulated chirp waveform. Various nonlinear frequency-modulated chirps are offered as alternatives to linear frequency modulated chirp. In this paper a new nonlinear frequency modulated chirp waveform is proposed. Properties like bandwidths, point spread functions and Fourier transforms are given for the proposed chirp signal. Synthetic imagery for spotlight imaging geometry is reconstructed by using the polar format and Stolt format processing techniques using the linear frequency-modulated (LFM) and proposed nonlinear frequency modulated chirp. Comparisons are presented, and it is shown that proposed waveform can improve the sonar image resolution.

    Fingertip electrocardiogram and speech signal based biometric recognition system In this research work, we presented a one-dimensional CNN-based person identification system which depends on the combination of both speech and ECG modalities to improve the overall performance compared to traditional systems. The proposed method has two approach: one is to develop combination of textindependent speech and fingertip ECG fusion system, the other one is to develop a robust rejection algorithm to prevent unauthorized access to the fusion system. In addition to the system robustness, we have developed an ECG spike and inconsistent beats removing algorithm, which detect and remove the problems caused by either portable fingertip ECG devices or movements of the patients. First approach has been tested on 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 people which were taken from LibriSpeech Corpus database and combination of both CYBHi and our private fingertip ECG database. The 3-fold cross validation test setup has been conducted while system working time was set to 10 seconds. In the first experiment, we achieved 90.22% accuracy rate for 90 people for ECG based system. For the speech based system, 97.94% accuracy rate has achieved for 90 people. For the combination of both system, 99.92% accuracy rate has been achieved. For the second approach, 90 people for ECG and Speech database were being used as genuine class, 26 people as imposter class, and after the performance evaluation in optimum rejection thresholds, 71.08% accuracy rate for imposters rejection and 71.05% accuracy rate for genuine recognition has achieved for ECG based system. For the speech based system, imposter class were 87.82% accurately rejected while genuine classes were 86.48% accurately identified. The combination of both system has achieved 91.68% accuracy for genuine identification rate whereas 96.05% accuracy for imposter rejection.

    Intracranial pressure (ICP) pulse wave morphology, including the ratios of the three characteristic peaks (P1, P2, and P3), offers valuable insights into intracranial dynamics and brain compliance. Traditional invasive methods for ICP pulse wave monitoring pose significant risks, highlighting the need for non-invasive alternatives. This pilot study investigates a novel non-invasive method for monitoring ICP pulse waves through closed eyelids, using a specially designed, liquid-filled, fully passive sensor system named ‘Archimedes 02’. To our knowledge, this is the first technological approach that enables the non-invasive monitoring of ICP pulse waveforms via closed eyelids. This study involved 10 healthy volunteers, aged 26–39 years, who underwent resting-state non-invasive ICP pulse wave monitoring sessions using the ‘Archimedes 02’ device while in the supine position. The recorded signals were processed to extract pulse waves and evaluate their morphological characteristics. The results indicated successful detection of pressure pulse waves, showing the expected three peaks (P1, P2, and P3) in all subjects. The calculated P2/P1 ratios were 0.762 (SD = ±0.229) for the left eye and 0.808 (SD = ±0.310) for the right eye, suggesting normal intracranial compliance across the cohort, despite variations observed in some individuals. Physiological tests—the Valsalva maneuver and the Queckenstedt test, both performed in the supine position—induced statistically significant increases in the P2/P1 and P3/P1 ratios, supporting the notion that non-invasively recorded pressure pulse waves, measured through closed eyelids, reflect intracranial volume and pressure dynamics. Additionally, a transient hypoemic/hyperemic response test performed in the upright position induced signal changes in pressure recordings from the ‘Archimedes 02’ sensor that were consistent with intact cerebral blood flow autoregulation, aligning with established physiological principles. These findings indicate that ICP pulse waves and their dynamic changes can be monitored non-invasively through closed eyelids, offering a potential method for brain monitoring in patients for whom invasive procedures are not feasible.
