Yayın Iterative channel estimation approach for space-time/frequency coded OFDM systems with transmitter diversity(Assoc Elettrotecnica Ed Elettronica Italiana, 2004-06) Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal; Doğan, HakanFocusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency selective channels, this paper pursues novel iterative channel estimation approaches for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems. Relying on the unifying signal model for SF-OFDM and ST-OFDM transmitter diversity systems, we develop computationally efficient, maximum a posteriori (MAP) channel estimation algorithms according to the MAP criterion. The algorithms require a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarriers iteratively using the expectation-maximisation (EM) method. In order to explore the performance, the closed-form expression for the average symbol error rate (SER) probability is derived for the maximum ratio combiner (MRC). Furthermore, to benchmark performance of the MAP channel estimator, the modified Cramer-Rao bound of channel estimates is also derived. Finally, we provide simulation results studying the influence of delay spread, propagation parameters and modelling mismatch on the performance of channel estimation techniques. Simulation results confirm our theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithms are capable of tracking fast fading and improving overall performance.Yayın Forward-viewing CMUT arrays for medical Imaging(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2004-07) Demirci, Utkan; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Oralkan, Ömer; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus ThomasThis paper reports the design and testing of forward-viewing annular arrays fabricated using capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) technology. Recent research studies have shown that CMUTs have broad frequency bandwidth and high-transduction efficiency. One- and two-dimensional CMUT arrays of various sizes already have been fabricated, and their viability for medical imaging applications has been demonstrated. We fabricated 64-element, forward-viewing annular arrays using the standard CMUT fabrication process and carried out experiments to measure the operating frequency, bandwidth, and transmit/receive efficiency of the array elements. The annular array elements, designed for imaging applications in the 20 MHz range, had a resonance frequency of 13.5 MHz in air. The immersion pulse-echo data collected from a plane reflector showed that the devices operate in the 5-26 MHz range with a fractional bandwidth of 135%. The output pressure at the surface of the transducer was measured to be 24 kPa/V. These values translate into a dynamic range of 131.5 dB for I-V excitation in 1-Hz bandwidth with a commercial low noise receiving circuitry. The designed, forward-viewing annular CMUT array is suitable for mounting on the front surface of a cylindrical catheter probe and can provide Doppler information for measurement of blood flow and guiding information for navigation through blood vessels in intravascular ultrasound imaging.Yayın An immitance based tool for modelling passive one-port devices by means of darlington equivalents(Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2001) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Aksen, Ahmet; Kılınç, AliAn immitance-based method is presented to model measured or computed data, obtained from a "passive one-port physical device" by means of its Darlington equivalent. In other words, the given data is modelled as a lossless two port terminated in a unit resistor. The basis of the new modelling tool rests on the numerical decomposition of the given immitance data into its Foster and minimum parts. Therefore, the proposed technique does not require any choice for the circuit topology to build the model. Rather, the optimum circuit topology that characterises the given data is the natural consequence of the modelling process proposed in this paper. A main algorithm is presented to construct the model from the given data. It is expected that the proposed modelling tool will find practical applications in the behaviour characterisation, simulation, and design of high speed/high frequency analog/digital mobile communication sub-systems manufactured on VLSI chips. An antenna-modelling example is included to systematically exhibit the implementation of the modelling technique.Yayın A novel method to represent speech signals(Elsevier Science BV, 2005-01) Akdeniz, Rafet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this work, speech signals are modeled by means of the so-called pre-defined "signature functions". The pre-defined signature functions are generated using the statistical properties of the speech signals. It has been exhibited that, with a few basic signature functions, any speech signal can be generated within a tolerable error.Yayın Distribution games: a new class of games with application to user provided networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-11-29) Taşçı, Sinan Emre; Shalom, Mordechai; Korçak, ÖmerUser Provided Network (UPN) is a promising solution for sharing the limited network resources by utilizing user capabilities as a part of the communication infrastructure. In UPNs, it is an important problem to decide how to share the resources among multiple clients in decentralized manner. Motivated by this problem, we introduce a new class of games termed distribution games that can be used to distribute efficiently and fairly the bandwidth capacity among users. We show that every distribution game has at least one pure strategy Nash equilibrium (NE) and any best response dynamics always converges to such an equilibrium. We consider social welfare functions that are weighted sums of bandwidths allocated to clients. We present tight upper bounds for the price of anarchy and price of stability of these games provided that they satisfy some reasonable assumptions. We define two specific practical instances of distribution games that fit these assumptions. We conduct experiments on one of these instances and demonstrate that in most of the settings the social welfare obtained by the best response dynamics is very close to the optimum. Simulations show that this game also leads to a fair distribution of the bandwidth.
