Nowadays, systems-on-chip have reached a level where nonrecurring engineering costs have become a great challenge due to the increase of design complexity and postfabrication errors. Embedded field programmable gate arrays (eFPGAs) represent a viable alternative to overcome these issues since they provide postmanufacturing flexibility that can reduce the number of chip redesigns and amortize chip fabrication cost. In this paper, we present an overview on eFPGAs and their architectures, computer aided design (CAD) tools, and design challenges. An eFPGA must be well-designed and accompanied by an optimized CAD tool suite to respond to target application's requirements in terms of power …


Simulation And Analysis Of Wind Turbine Radar Echo Based On 3-D Scattering Point Model, Jiangong Zhang, Bin Hao, Bo Tang, Li Huang, Jiawei Yang Jan 2020

Simulation And Analysis Of Wind Turbine Radar Echo Based On 3-D Scattering Point Model, Jiangong Zhang, Bin Hao, Bo Tang, Li Huang, Jiawei Yang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wind turbine (WT) arrays in wind farms can cause serious interference on nearby radar stations. This interference could be filtered out if wind turbine radar echo (WTRE) can be obtained accurately. Considering the singleness of in-field experiments, numerical simulation became the majority among such works, but few of them reached necessary accuracy. Therefore, we propose a solution method of WTRE based on three-dimensional (3-D) scattering point model. Firstly, we use the nonuniform rational B-spline to build the 3-D model of WT. Secondly, based on the method of moments (MoM), the Rao-Wilton-Gisson (RWG) basis function is adopted to discretize the integral …

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 …


Integrated Topic Modeling And Sentiment Analysis: A Review Rating Prediction Approach For Recommender Systems, Anbazhagan Mahadevan, Michael Arock Jan 2020

Integrated Topic Modeling And Sentiment Analysis: A Review Rating Prediction Approach For Recommender Systems, Anbazhagan Mahadevan, Michael Arock

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recommender systems (RSs) are running behind E-commerce websites to recommend items that are likely to be bought by users. Most of the existing RSs are relying on mere star ratings while making recommendations. However, ratings alone cannot help RSs make accurate recommendations, as they cannot properly capture sentiments expressed towards various aspects of the items. The other rich and expressive source of information available that can help make accurate recommendations is user reviews. Because of their voluminous nature, reviews lead to the information overloading problem. Hence, drawing out the user opinion from reviews is a decisive job. Therefore, this paper …


Retinal Vessel Segmentation Using Modified Symmetrical Local Threshold, Umar Özgünalp Jan 2020

Retinal Vessel Segmentation Using Modified Symmetrical Local Threshold, Umar Özgünalp

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Retinal vessel segmentation is important for the identification of many diseases including glaucoma, hypertensive retinopathy, diabetes, and hypertension. Moreover, retinal vessel diameter is associated with cardiovascular mortality. Accurate detection of blood vessels improves the detection of exudates in color fundus images, as well as detection of the retinal nerve, optic disc, or fovea. A retinal vessel is a darker stripe on a lighter background. Thus, the objective is very similar to the lane detection task for intelligent vehicles. A lane on a road is a light stripe on a darker background (i.e. asphalt). For lane detection, the symmetrical local threshold …

The genetic algorithm (GA) is then used to find the superior features among those extracted. After extracting superior features, a support vector machine-based feedback scheme is used to improve the performance of the biometric system. Two …


Automatic Characterization Of Copy Number Polymorphism Using High Throughput Sequencing, Can Alkan Jan 2020

Automatic Characterization Of Copy Number Polymorphism Using High Throughput Sequencing, Can Alkan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Genome structural variation, broadly defined as alterations longer than 50 bp, are important sources for genetic variation among humans, including those that cause complex diseases such as autism, developmental delay, and schizophrenia. Although there has been considerable progress in characterizing structural variation since the beginnings of the 1000 Genomes Project, one form of structural variation called segmental duplications (SDs) remained largely understudied in large cohorts. This is mostly because SDs cannot be accurately discovered using the alignment files generated with standard read mapping tools. Instead, they can only be found when multiple map locations are considered. There is still a …


On The Automorphisms And Isomorphisms Of Mds Matrices And Their Efficient Implementations, Muharrem Tolga Sakalli, Sedat Akleylek, Kemal Akkanat, Vincent Rijmen Jan 2020

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we explicitly define the automorphisms of MDS matrices over the same binary extension field. By extending this idea, we present the isomorphisms between MDS matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$ and MDS matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{mt}}$, where $t \ge 1$ and $m>1$, which preserves the software implementation properties in view of XOR operations and table lookups of any given MDS matrix over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$. Then we propose a novel method to obtain distinct functions related to these automorphisms and isomorphisms to be used in generating isomorphic MDS matrices (new MDS matrices in view of implementation properties) using the existing ones. The …

Nonlocal Means Estimation Of Intrinsic Mode Functions For Speech Enhancement, Sagar Reddy Vumanthala, Bikshalu K

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The main aim of this paper is to introduce a new approach to enhance speech signals by exploring the advantages of nonlocal means (NLM) estimation and empirical mode decomposition. NLM, a patch-based denoising method, is extensively used for two-dimensional signals like images. However, its use for one-dimensional signals has been attracting more attention recently. The NLM-based approach is quite useful for removing low-frequency noises based on nonlocal similarities present among samples of the signal. However, there is an issue of under averaging in the high-frequency regions. The temporal and spectral characteristics of the speech signal are changing markedly over time. …

On The Asymptotic Analysis Of The High-Order Statistics Of The Channel Capacity Over Generalized Fading Channels, Ferkan Yilmaz Jan 2020

On The Asymptotic Analysis Of The High-Order Statistics Of The Channel Capacity Over Generalized Fading Channels, Ferkan Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this article, we provide further asymptotic analysis to the higher-order statistics (HOS) of the channel capacity over generalized fading channels, especially by proposing simple and closed-form expressions each of which can be easily computed as a tight bound revealing the existence of constant gap between the actual and asymptotic HOS of the channel capacity in the limit of both high and low signal-to-noise ratios. As such, we show that these closed-form asymptotic expressions are insightful enough to comprehend the diversity gains. The mathematical formalism we followed in this article is illustrated with some selected numerical examples that validate the …

Reliability Comparisons Of Mobile Network Operators: An Experimental Case Study From A Crowdsourced Dataset, Engi̇n Zeydan, Ahmet Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It is of great interest for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to know how well their network infrastructure performance behaves in different geographical regions of their operating country compared to their horizontal competitors. However, traditional network monitoring and measurement methods of network infrastructure use limited numbers of measurement points that are insufficient for detailed analysis and expensive to scale using an internal workforce. On the other hand, the abundance of crowdsourced content can engender various unforeseen opportunities for MNOs to cope with this scaling problem. This paper investigates end-to-end reliability and packet loss (PL) performance comparisons of MNOs using a previously …

The penetration of inverter-based power plants (IBPPs), such as large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants (LPPPs), is ever increasing considering the merits of renewable energy power plants (REPPs). Given that IBPPs are added to power systems or replaced by conventional power plants, they should undertake the most common tasks of synchronous generators. The low-frequency oscillation (LFO) damping through the power system stabilizers (PSSs) of synchronous generators is regarded as one of the common tasks in power plants. This paper proposes an optimal fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller implemented in the control loop of IBPPs for LFO damping in power systems. For this …
