A Methodology For Memristance Calculation, Reşat Mutlu, Ertuğrul Karakulak Jan 2014

A Methodology For Memristance Calculation, Reşat Mutlu, Ertuğrul Karakulak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A memristor is a newly found fundamental circuit element whose behavior can be predicted using either the charge-dependent function called memristance or the flux-dependent function called memductance. Therefore, it is important to find the memristance or memductance function of a memristor. To the best of our knowledge, there is no methodology describing how to obtain the memristance function or memristor characteristic in the literature for this purpose as of yet. In this work, a methodology is suggested to find the memristance or memductance functions. The methodology suggests first doing several experiments with a memristor using a square-wave signal to acquire …

Increasing Key Space At Little Extra Cost In Rfid Authentications, Gökhan Dalkiliç, Mehmet Hi̇lal Özcanhan, Hafi̇ze Şen Çakir Jan 2014

Increasing Key Space At Little Extra Cost In Rfid Authentications, Gökhan Dalkiliç, Mehmet Hi̇lal Özcanhan, Hafi̇ze Şen Çakir

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Traditional authentication and key establishment protocols utilize nonce parameters as a means for message freshness, recent aliveness, and key derivation. Improving identity verification, increasing key space, or making secret updates more complex through nonces are not goals. Generating random numbers as nonces and not making the most out of them can be considered as a loss in resource stricken radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. By increasing the shared secrets slightly, a new functionality for the nonces is introduced, which makes the authentication and key establishment protocols of RFID systems more secure, in general. The proposed method contributes to the security …

In this study, user expectation data are collected by means of the 'expectation questionnaire'. The internal consistencies of the answers to the questionnaire are measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Fuzzy logic methodologies are used to evaluate the expectation variables in the proposed evaluation framework. The evaluation variables are not represented in the results equally; they are reflected by the weights assigned by the users. Our proposed framework provides the overall degree …

The pattern can be represented in the form of a frequent itemset or association rule. Furthermore, a rule or pattern is marked as sensitive if its disclosure risk is above a given threshold. Numerous techniques have been used to hide sensitive association rules by performing some …


A New Method For Extraction Of Speech Features Using Spectral Delta Characteristics And Invariant Integration, Hassan Farsi, Samana Kuhimoghadam Jan 2014

A New Method For Extraction Of Speech Features Using Spectral Delta Characteristics And Invariant Integration, Hassan Farsi, Samana Kuhimoghadam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a new feature extraction algorithm that is robust against noise. Nonlinear filtering and temporal masking are used for the proposed algorithm. Since the current automatic speech recognition systems use invariant-integration and delta-delta techniques for speech feature extraction, the proposed algorithm improves speech recognition accuracy appropriately using a delta-spectral feature instead of invariant integration. One of the nonenvironmental factors that reduce recognition accuracy is the vocal tract length (VTL), leading to a mismatch between the training and testing data. We can use the invariant-integration feature idea for decreasing the VTL effects. The aim of this paper is to provide …

One of the main sources of uncertainties in controlling the attitude of a satellite is the time delays seen in sensor data. Although it is possible to process sensor data to correct the deficiencies caused by delays, it is more suitable to design the controller robust enough to handle uncertainties well. In this study, the attitude of a 3-degrees of freedom satellite model, incorporating uncertainties (both sensor data delay and actuator misplacements), is controlled using a suitably designed fuzzy variable structure controller (FVSC). The performance of the FVSC is evaluated and compared to that of other reference controllers [proportional-derivative (PD), …

An Efficient Approach To The Local Optimization Of Finite Electromagnetic Band-Gap Structures, David Duque, Vito Lancellotti, Bastiaan Pieter De Hon, Antonius Tijhuis Jan 2014

An Efficient Approach To The Local Optimization Of Finite Electromagnetic Band-Gap Structures, David Duque, Vito Lancellotti, Bastiaan Pieter De Hon, Antonius Tijhuis

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a methodology based on linear embedding via Green's operators (LEGO) and the eigencurrent expansion method (EEM) to efficiently deal with and locally optimize 2-D electrically large electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures. In LEGO terminology, the composite EBG structure is broken up (diakopted) into constitutive elements called ``bricks'' that we characterize through scattering operators by invoking Love's equivalence principle, while, at the same time, the electromagnetic interaction among the bricks is captured by transfer operators. The resulting electromagnetic problem is then succinctly formulated through an integral equation involving the total inverse scattering operator S^{-1} of the structure. To perform local …

Both the stability method of checking the characteristic values inside the unit circle and a Lyapunov function-based stability result are taken into consideration. Second, a simple Lyapunov--Krasovskii functional (LKF) is selected, and utilizing a generalized Jensen sum inequality, a sufficient stability condition is presented in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Third, a novel LKF is proposed …

However, the ABC algorithm suffers from slow convergence and poor exploitation. Additionally, there are bleak chances of …


Perceptual Quality Evaluation Of Asymmetric Stereo Video Coding For Efficient 3d Rate Scaling, Nükhet Özbek, Gi̇zem Ertan, Oktay Karakuş Jan 2014

Perceptual Quality Evaluation Of Asymmetric Stereo Video Coding For Efficient 3d Rate Scaling, Nükhet Özbek, Gi̇zem Ertan, Oktay Karakuş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In 3D perception, the binocular suppression of the human vision, perceiving high quality 3D video in the case of a view in higher quality, can be exploited in asymmetric stereo video coding for efficient 3D rate scaling. Hence, the best stereo rate-visual distortion performance may be gained by asymmetric coding, which is the reduction of the spatial and/or quantization resolution of the low-quality view, while keeping the high-quality view in full resolution. However, how to determine the level of asymmetry and what type of scaling should be chosen are still in question. In this work, we try to assess the …

A Low-Order Nonlinear Amplifier Model With Distributed Delay Terms, Ahmet Hayretti̇n Yüzer, Şi̇mşek Demi̇r Jan 2014

A Low-Order Nonlinear Amplifier Model With Distributed Delay Terms, Ahmet Hayretti̇n Yüzer, Şi̇mşek Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a novel behavioral modeling technique for the characterization of memory effects of amplifiers is proposed. This characterization utilizes asymmetric intermodulation distortion (IMD) components, which are the result of a 2-tone excitation of a nonlinear amplifier. These asymmetric IMD components are represented basically by a power series, where each term in the series has its own time delay term. These time delay terms successfully justify the presence of asymmetry in the intermodulation components, which leads to the prediction of amplitude-to-amplitude and amplitude-to-phase distortions. The parameters of the model are extracted using 2-tone measurements. A 100-W peak power amplifier …
