Cognitive And Encrypted Communications: State Of The Art And A New Approach For Frequency-Agile Filters, Yahya Lakys, Balwant Godara, Alain Fabre
Cognitive And Encrypted Communications: State Of The Art And A New Approach For Frequency-Agile Filters, Yahya Lakys, Balwant Godara, Alain Fabre
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Several communication techniques are investigated in the first part of this paper: software radio, cognitive radio and encrypted communications. State of the art of research on agile and reconfigurable filters, passive as well as active, necessary for transceivers is then made and various tables for comparison are given. In the third part, a new theory for a 2^{nd}-order frequency-agile filter is introduced. The center frequency of the filter is proportional to the gain of a feedback amplifier and thus can be tuned over a wide frequency range. This new theory is thereafter generalized to the n^{th}-class leading to a center …

Delay Compensation In Bilateral Control Using A Sliding Mode Observer, Tuğba Leblebi̇ci̇, Berk Çalli, Mustafa Ünel, Asif Sabanovic, Seta Bogosyan, Meti̇n Gökaşan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In bilateral control applications, time delays in the communication channel have destabilizing effects and cause degradations in the performance of the system. In this paper, a sliding mode observer is used in conjunction with a disturbance observer to predict states of the slave system. Predicted states are then used in control formulation. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method avoids instability due to time delays in bilateral operation and provides satisfactory performance.
An Algorithm To Minimize Within-Class Scatter And To Reduce Common Matrix Dimension For Image Recognition, Ümi̇t Çi̇ğdem Turhal, Alpaslan Duysak
An Algorithm To Minimize Within-Class Scatter And To Reduce Common Matrix Dimension For Image Recognition, Ümi̇t Çi̇ğdem Turhal, Alpaslan Duysak
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a new algorithm using 2DPCA and Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization Procedure for recognition of face images is proposed. The algorithm consists of two parts. In the first part, a common feature matrix is obtained; and in the second part, the dimension of the common feature matrix is reduced. Resulting common feature matrix with reduced dimension is used for face recognition. Column and row covariance matrices are obtained by applying 2DPCA on the column and row vectors of images, respectively. The algorithm then applies eigenvalue-eigenvector decomposition to each of these two covariance matrices. Total scatter maximization is achieved taking the …
Change Detection Without Difference Image Computation Based On Multiobjective Cost Function Optimization, Turgay Çeli̇k, Zeki̇ Yetgi̇n
Change Detection Without Difference Image Computation Based On Multiobjective Cost Function Optimization, Turgay Çeli̇k, Zeki̇ Yetgi̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we propose a novel method for unsupervised change detection in multi-temporal satellite images by using multiobjective cost function optimization via genetic algorithm (GA). The spatial image grid of the input multi-temporal satellite images is divided into two distinct regions, representing ``changed'' and ``unchanged'' regions between input images, via the intermediate change detection mask produced by the GA. The dissimilarity of pixels of ``changed'' regions and similarity of pixels of ``unchanged'' regions between input multi-temporal images are measured using image quality metrics which consider correlation, spectral distortion, radiometric distortion, and contrast distortion. The contextual information of each pixel …

Cooperative Diversity With Continuous Phase Modulation, Ni̇yazi̇ Odabaşioğlu
Cooperative Diversity With Continuous Phase Modulation, Ni̇yazi̇ Odabaşioğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In recent years, there has been a vast amount of research on cooperative diversity due to its potential capacity increase. Almost all of the research has been based on linear modulation formats such as phase-shift keying (PSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). On the other hand, continuous phase modulation (CPM) promises impressive advantages relative to linear modulations for wireless communication systems. In this paper, a cooperative diversity scheme with space-time coded (STC) CPM is introduced. Both amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) modes were considered for cooperation. Simulation results showed that the proposed system is very suitable for wireless fading channels, …
Determining Wave Propagation Characteristics Of Mv Xlpe Power Cable Using Time Domain Reflectometry Technique, Ghulam Murtaza Hashmi, Ruslan Papazyan, Matti Lehtonen
Determining Wave Propagation Characteristics Of Mv Xlpe Power Cable Using Time Domain Reflectometry Technique, Ghulam Murtaza Hashmi, Ruslan Papazyan, Matti Lehtonen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, the wave propagation characteristics of single-phase medium voltage (MV) cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) power cable are determined using time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurement technique. TDR delivers the complex propagation constant (attenuation and phase constant) of lossy cable transmission line as a function of frequency. The frequency-dependent propagation velocity is also determined from the TDR measurements through the parameters extraction procedure. The calibration of the measuring system (MS) is carried-out to avoid the effect of multiple reflections on the accuracy of measurements. The results obtained from the measurements can be used to localize the discontinuities as well as the …
Co-Occurrence Matrix And Its Statistical Features As A New Approach For Face Recognition, Alaa Eleyan, Hasan Demirel
Co-Occurrence Matrix And Its Statistical Features As A New Approach For Face Recognition, Alaa Eleyan, Hasan Demirel
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a new face recognition technique is introduced based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). GLCM represents the distributions of the intensities and the information about relative positions of neighboring pixels of an image. We proposed two methods to extract feature vectors using GLCM for face classification. The first method extracts the well-known Haralick features from the GLCM, and the second method directly uses GLCM by converting the matrix into a vector that can be used in the classification process. The results demonstrate that the second method, which uses GLCM directly, is superior to the first method that …

Design And Ground Plane Optimization Of A Cpw-Fed Ultra-Wideband Antenna, Mohammed Al-Husseini, Ali Ramadan, Youssef Tawk, Ali El-Hajj, Karim Y. Kabalan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, an ultra-wideband antenna based on an egg-shaped conductor and a co-planar waveguide (CPW) feed is presented. The ground plane incorporates an egg-shaped slot with parametrized center and dimensions. By resizing the slot and moving its center, a slotted or a partial ground can be obtained. Based on this configuration, a parametric study that aims at achieving the best ultra-wideband (UWB) response of the antenna is done. The study shows that an excellent UWB response is achieved for a certain ground slot size, beyond which the response starts to degrade. However, as the slot size tends to infinity, …
Minimization Of Load Shedding By Sequential Use Of Linear Programming And Particle Swarm Optimization, Mehrdad Tarafdar Hagh, Sadjad Galvani
Minimization Of Load Shedding By Sequential Use Of Linear Programming And Particle Swarm Optimization, Mehrdad Tarafdar Hagh, Sadjad Galvani
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Minimization of load shedding during contingency conditions is solved as an optimization problem. As a new topic, instead of local load shedding, total load shedding of a large power system is considered. Power generation rescheduling is considered to minimize the load shedding, as well. Different importance factors for buses are also considered. The linear programming method (LP) is used to solve this problem in a short period of time without considering some power system constraints. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is also used to solve the problem by considering all power system constraints, but with a longer solving time. Finally, a …
Design Of Cdba-Based Active Polyphase Filter For Low-If Receiver Applications, Mehmet Sağbaş
Design Of Cdba-Based Active Polyphase Filter For Low-If Receiver Applications, Mehmet Sağbaş
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A novel first-order active-RC polyphase filter section, using current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBAs), is presented. The section uses 6 resistors, 2 capacitors, and 2 CDBAs. The transfer function of the proposed section has a single pole and optionally a single zero. Increasing the number of cascading sections, any higher order polyphase filter can be realized. This paper also introduces the leakage caused by element deviation and the effects of the amplifier in nonideal cases. Furthermore, nonideal performances of the proposed filter section are tested with PSpice simulations.
A Vision Based Feedback Mechanism For 6-Dof Stewart Platform, Utku Büyükşahi̇n
A Vision Based Feedback Mechanism For 6-Dof Stewart Platform, Utku Büyükşahi̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Eyes are the most ubiquitous sensors of humankind. However, ``Vision Based Sensors" are not as common as what this fact would suggest. A survey of the previous work on image processing would reveal that the bulk of the research in this area have been conducted since the year 2000. These facts clearly show that image processing is the technology of our century, and is very open to further development. In this work, a system that combines a classical mechanism of the 20th century with the recent technology of the 21st century is presented and the design, theoretical background, the software …
Delay-Dependent Stability Criteria For Interval Time-Varying Delay Systems With Nonuniform Delay Partitioning Approach, Mehmet Nur Alpaslan Parlakçi
Delay-Dependent Stability Criteria For Interval Time-Varying Delay Systems With Nonuniform Delay Partitioning Approach, Mehmet Nur Alpaslan Parlakçi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper investigates the conservatism reduction of Lyapunov-Krasovskii based conditions for the stability of a class of interval time-varying delay systems. The main idea is based on the nonuniform decomposition of the integral terms of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The delay interval is decomposed into a finite number of nonuniform segments with some scaling parameters. Both differentiable delay case and nondifferentiable delay case and unknown delay derivative bound case are taken into consideration. Sufficient delay-dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of matrix inequalities. Two suboptimal delay fractionation schemes, namely, linearization with cone complementary technique and linearization under additional constraints are …
