Design Of A High Performance Narrowband Low Noise Amplifier Using An On-Chip Orthogonal Series Stacked Differential Fractal Inductor For 5g Applications, Sunil Kumar Tumma, Bheemarao Nistala
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Inductors play a crucial role in the design of radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) and they typically consume a considerably large area and have a low-quality factor at high frequencies. The employment of fractal structure in on-chip inductors helps in improving the quality factor and also reduces the overall area besides improving the inductance value. In this paper, an orthogonal series stacked differential fractal inductor is proposed and the same is used to design a low noise amplifier (LNA) for 5G band (27--30 GHz) applications. The proposed inductor is fabricated on a multilayer printed circuit board and the measurement results …

For this purpose, a new control model has been developed that envisages flux change by applying probabilistic space vectors' torque and flux control. In the proposed predictive control algorithm, flux and torque errors are calculated for each candidate voltage vector. Thus, the optimal output voltage vector that …

Hyperheuristics For Explicit Resource Partitioning In Simultaneous Multithreadedprocessors, İsa Ahmet Güney, Kemal Poyraz, Gürhan Küçük, Ender Özcan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processors, various data path resources are concurrently shared by many threads. A few heuristic approaches that explicitly distribute those resources among threads with the goal of improved overall performance have already been proposed. A selection hyperheuristic is a high-level search methodology that mixes a predetermined set of heuristics in an iterative framework to utilize their strengths for solving a given problem instance. In this study, we propose a set of selection hyperheuristics for selecting and executing the heuristic with the best performance at a given stage. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of …

Peak Shaving And Technical Loss Minimization In Distribution Grids: Atime-Of-Use-Based Pricing Approach For Distribution Service Tariffs, Osman Bülent Tör, Mahmut Erkut Cebeci̇, Mehmet Koç, Saaed Teimourzadeh, Deren Atli, Simona Vasilica Oprea, Adela Bara
Peak Shaving And Technical Loss Minimization In Distribution Grids: Atime-Of-Use-Based Pricing Approach For Distribution Service Tariffs, Osman Bülent Tör, Mahmut Erkut Cebeci̇, Mehmet Koç, Saaed Teimourzadeh, Deren Atli, Simona Vasilica Oprea, Adela Bara
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Deployment of time-of-use (ToU)-based retail energy tariffs (i.e. tariff for energy consumption- not the tariff for distribution service) is a common practice to incentivize consumers to use more energy at off-peak times. Distribution service tariffs (DSTs) are usually time-independent, which results in insensitivity of load to the distribution service cost. However, DST can also be time-dependent, which is studied in this paper. This study presents a methodology to address the effect of ToU pricing (i.e. time-dependent) of DSTs on peak shaving and technical loss minimization in power distribution grids. Here, the main focus is to assess the level of consumers' …

A High-Level And Adaptive Metaheuristic Selection Algorithm For Solving Highdimensional Bound-Constrained Continuous Optimization Problems, Osman Gökalp, Aybars Uğur
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Metaheuristic algorithms are used to find sufficiently good solutions for the optimization problems that are not solvable in a polynomial time. Although metaheuristics offer a general problem-solving framework and can be applied to various types of optimization problems, their performances depend heavily on the problem to be solved. Thus, hybrid metaheuristics are used to combine strong parts of different algorithms. In this study, a novel adaptive metaheuristic selection algorithm is proposed for solving bound-constrained continuous optimization problems. The developed method hybridizes artificial bee colony, differential evolution, and particle swarm optimization at a high level where each algorithm works independently from …

The proposed decision rules are then modified to deal with the presence of thermal noise and interfering targets. The proposed detectors are investigated on the basis of synthetic data as well as real data of the IPIX radar database. The obtained results exhibit a high probability of …
On Efficient Computation Of Equilibrium Under Social Coalition Structures, Buğra Çaşkurlu, Özgün Eki̇ci̇, Fati̇h Erdem Kizilkaya
On Efficient Computation Of Equilibrium Under Social Coalition Structures, Buğra Çaşkurlu, Özgün Eki̇ci̇, Fati̇h Erdem Kizilkaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In game-theoretic settings the key notion of analysis is an equilibrium, which is a profile of agent strategies such that no viable coalition of agents can improve upon their coalitional welfare by jointly changing their strategies. A Nash equilibrium, where viable coalitions are only singletons, and a super strong equilibrium, where every coalition is deemed viable, are two extreme scenarios in regard to coalition formation. A recent trend in the literature is to consider equilibrium notions that allow for coalition formation in between these two extremes and which are suitable to model social coalition structures that arise in various real-life …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Induction motors are more attractive to car manufacturers because they are more robust and more cost effective to maintain in comparison with other types of electric machines. The evolution of their control makes them more efficient and less expensive. However, a new control technique known as sensorless control is being used to simplify the implementation of electric machines in electric vehicles. This technique involves replacing the flux and speed sensors with an observer. The estimation of these elements is based on the measurement of currents and voltages. The main purpose of the present study is to design a novel robust …
Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes
Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a charge-density oscillation that occurs when a beam of p-polarized monochromatic light impinges with a greater angle than the critical angle in a dielectric-metal interface. Because of the high losses related to metals, the generated surface plasmon waves propagate with high attenuation in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions in most of the dielectric-metal interfaces. An alternative to reduce such losses is to use a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) film. In this paper, we compared theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the SPR angle $\theta_{SPR}$ on the interfaces of a borosilicate prism (Bp) and …

Formation Of A Wireless Sensor Network Using Custom-Designed Sensors Having Lowpower And Low Cost Components, Veysel Yaman Akgün, Engi̇n Maşazade
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we first design a sensor with low power and low cost components, namely an MSP430G2553 microcontroller (MCU), nRF24L01+ communication unit, and a light-dependent resistor (LDR). Then, connecting these custom-designed sensors with a central node, a fusion center (FC), we form a wireless sensor network (WSN) in which sensors measure light intensities and send their measurements to the FC for final inference. Since the default addressing structure of nRF24L01+ can simultaneously connect up to 6 devices, in order to have more connections, we define a new addressing scheme for the transmissions between sensors and the FC. Finally, as …

Improving The Efficiency Of Dnn Hardware Accelerator By Replacing Digitalfeature Extractor With An Imprecise Neuromorphic Hardware, Majid Mohammadi Rad, Omid Sojodishijani
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Mixed-signal in-memory computation can drastically improve the efficiency of the hardware implementing machine learning (ML) algorithms by (i) removing the need to fetch neural network parameters from internal or external memory and (ii) performing a large number of multiply-accumulate operations in parallel. However, this boost in efficiency comes with some disadvantages. Among them, the inability to precisely program nonvolatile memory devices (NVM) with neural network parameters and sensitivity to noise prevent the mixed-signal hardware to perform a precise and deterministic computation. Unfortunately, these hardware-specific errors can get magnified while propagating along with the layers of the deep neural network. In …

A Novel Genome Analysis Method With The Entropy-Based Numerical Techniqueusing Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks, Bi̇hter Daş, Suat Toraman, İbrahi̇m Türkoğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The identification of DNA sequences as exon and intron is a common problem in genome analysis. The methods used for feature extraction and mapping techniques for the digitization of sequences affect directly the solution of this problem. The existing mapping techniques are not enough to detect coding and noncoding regions in some genomes because the digital representation of each base in a DNA sequence with an integer does not fully reflect the structure of an original DNA sequence. In the entropy-based mapping technique, we could overcome this problem because the technique deepens distinction rates of exon regions, and better reflects …

Passenger Scoring For Free-Pass Promotion In Public Transportation, Ufuk Demi̇r Alan, Derya Bi̇rant
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The focus of promotions targeted to increase the use of public transportation concentrates on increasing the attractiveness of it, particularly by decreasing transportation fares. To serve that purpose, this paper proposes a novel passenger scoring model, namely RFLT (recency, frequency, loyalty, and time), for offering a free-pass promotion in public transportation. It presents the comparison results of RFLT and wRFLT (weighted version) using a real-world dataset obtained by a near field communication (NFC) mobile payment application. The experimental results show that the w-RFLT model provides a more balanced score distribution than the RFLT model, and the frequency parameter (F), among …

A Subsynchronous Resonance Prevention For Dfig-Based Wind Farms, Davood Fateh, Ali Akbar Moti Birjandi, Josep M. Guerrero
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, subsynchronous resonance (SSR) instability was accurately analyzed in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms by the linearization of equations and modal analysis. In addition, the possibility of high compensation for the transmission lines connected to DFIG-based wind farms was provided using a SSR prevention controller (SSRPC). For this purpose, an SSRPC was connected to the output voltage of the grid side converter (GSC) of the DFIG. The GSC output voltage was selected as the connection point of the SSRPC because it directly affects the induction generator effect (IGE) and can be an inhibitor factor in its …

A Multibeam Subarrayed Time-Modulated Linear Array, Uğur Yeşi̇lyurt, İhsan Kanbaz, Ertuğrul Aksoy
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In conventional time-modulated arrays (TMAs), because of the usage of the RF-switch, harmonics are generated at multiples of the modulation frequency. In this study, the synthesis of time-modulated arrays has been analyzed for cognitive radio (CR) systems, in which these harmonics are suitably exploited for more efficient utilization of the spectrum. In order to accomplish the desired pattern at requested harmonic frequencies, a new excitation strategy with sinusoidal signals is proposed. The use of sinusoidal waveforms creates independent beams, allowing independent steering capability. Moreover, by utilizing the subarray structure, it is possible to have a smaller number of excitation functions …

In the present study we investigated classification and feature selection methods for the differentiation of two subtypes of NSCLC, namely adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC). The major advances in understanding the effects of therapy agents suggest that future targeted therapies will be increasingly subtype specific. We obtained positron emission tomography (PET) images of 93 patients with NSCLC, 39 of which had ADC while the rest had SqCC. Random walk segmentation was applied to delineate three-dimensional tumor …

Adaptive Blind Equalization For A Mimo Chaotic Communication System, Gökçen Çeti̇nel, Cabi̇r Vural
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
There exist few blind solutions for chaotic MIMO channel equalization. In this work, a chaotic MIMO channel equalization framework is proposed. The objective function to be minimized in the proposed solution is obtained by adopting the objective function developed for chaotic SISO channel equalization. Furthermore, an optimum filter that minimizes the proposed cost function is designed to recover chaotic input signals assuming that the channel is known. The stationary point of the adaptive solution is equal to the optimal filter if the adaptive filter coefficients change sufficiently slowly. The adaptive solution is contrasted with the optimum filter in terms of …

To further improve the transient and steady-state performance of automotive electronic throttle position tracking, in this paper an adaptive prescribed performance servo control strategy is designed and applied to a real electronic throttle control system. In view of the possible high gain of the prescribed performance controller in practice, the actuator constraint is also considered in the controller design. The designed servo controller can ensure the transient and steady-state responses of tracking error are limited in the range prescribed by the performance function, and converge with the prescribed convergence rate and have no overshoot. The incorporated adaptive updating law can …

A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz
A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Conventional energy architectures that utilize multiple ambient energy sources are initiated either by an external power supply or through the addition of an extra power source (e.g., battery) to the architecture. However, these interventions compromise the goal of a self-sustainable energy harvesting system. Moreover, conventional architectures are not effective in situations where space is limited (e.g., an artificial heart) or when access to this space is difficult (e.g., human implantable devices), due to their large battery size. Thus, conventional energy combiner circuits that use multiple energy sources are not well suited for supplying power to most applications. This paper presents …

Remac: A Novel Hybrid And Reservation-Based Mac Protocol For Vanets, Fi̇kri̇ Ağgün, Musa Çibuk, Shafqat Ur Rehman
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The period in which a roadside unit (RSU) of a vehicle remains in the coverage area is too short in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in which the vehicles move at high speeds. In this short period, it is necessary for the vehicles to join the network and establish continuous communication with the RSU. To accomplish this, the RSU and vehicles need an efficient and robust media access control (MAC) protocol. In this study, a new reservation-based MAC (ReMAC) protocol in which multiple channels are used is suggested to ensure rapid connection to RSUs, smooth transition between RSUs, and efficient …
