Analysis of Mixed-Element Structures Formed With Shunt Capacitors Separated by Transmission Lines
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019) Şengül, Metin Y.; Çakmak, Gökhan
In this brief, the analysis of mixed-element structures formed with shunt capacitors separated by commensurate transmission lines is performed first time in the literature. First, a low-pass lumped-element ladder network is considered. Then the series inductors are replaced with commensurate transmission lines. As a result, a practically important mixed-element structure is obtained. Then the description of the structure by means of two frequency variables (one for shunt capacitors and one for transmission lines) is detailed: Explicit expressions for the coefficients of the descriptive two-variable polynomials in terms of the coefficients of the single variable boundary polynomials are derived for various numbers of elements, which are obtained first time in the literature. Finally, a mixed-element broadband matching network is designed to illustrate the usage of the obtained expressions. If it is preferred not to have shunt capacitors, they can be replaced with open-ended stubs via Richard's transformation. So the resultant circuit is extremely suitable for microstrip fabrication.
Analytic Solution of the Feldtkeller Equation
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2009) Şengül, Metin Y.
In every reflectance-based application like broadband matching circuit modeling etc. a nonlinear equation following from energy conservation the Feldtkeller equation must be solved in order to obtain real networks. In the literature however there is no analytic solution available but only numerical solutions. Consequently the resulting error depends on the accuracy of the numerical tools. In this paper an analytic solution is proposed which is based on the modified ABCD-parameters of a lossless reciprocal two-port network. An algorithm is presented and examples are included to illustrate the implementation of the analytical method. (C) 2008 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Broadband Decoupling and Matching of a Superdirective Two-Port Antenna Array
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) Volmer, Christian; Şengül, Metin Y.; Weber, Joern; Stephan, Ralf; Hein, Matthias A.
Decoupling and matching networks may be used to improve the performance of compact antenna arrays where mutual radiator coupling has caused a degradation of the diversity capabilities. A popular network consists of a 180 degrees rat-race directional coupler which decouples the antenna ports followed by impedance matching networks at each port. Researchers however usually neglect the presence of losses both within the antenna array and the decoupling and matching network. For this reason we have built various narrowband and broadband matching networks and compare their performances with the help of calibrated far-field measurement data.

The branch impedances of the lattice network are considered as singly terminated lossless LC networks since it is not desired to dissipate power in the equalizer. After giving the algorithm its usage has been illustrated via an example. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Code Shift Keying Impulse Modulation for Uwb Communications
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) Erküçük, Serhat; Kim, Dong In; Kwak, Kyung Sup
In this paper the system performance of M-ary code shift keying (MCSK) impulse modulation is studied in detail and compared to M-ary pulse position modulation (MPPM) under single- and multi-user scenarios. For that bounds on the semi-analytic symbol-error rate (SER) expressions are derived and simulation studies are conducted. When practical implementations of MCSK and MPPM are considered it is shown that MCSK can provide about 2 dB performance gain over MPPM as it reduces the effects of multipath delays on the decision variables by randomizing locations of the transmit pulse.

Conditional Power and Rate Adaptation for Mqam/Ofdm Systems Under Cfo With Perfect and Imperfect Channel Estimation Errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015) Dong, Zhicheng; Fan, Pingzhi; Panayırcı, Erdal; Lei, Xianfu
In this paper a new conditional power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) with perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI). The conventional adaptive scheme is shown to be a special case of the conditionally adaptive scheme technique that enables the resulting nonconvex optimization problem which is solved in a feasible way. It leads to a solution for optimal power adaptation that maximizes the spectral efficiency of an OFDM system using M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) under average power and instantaneous bit error rate (BER) constraints. Closed-form expressions for the average spectral efficiency (ASE) of adaptive OFDM systems are derived for perfect and imperfect CSI cases. The theoretical results and computer simulations show that range of the conditional adaptation becomes narrow and the performance of constant power and continuous rate is very close to that of the conditionally adaptive power and continuous rate for higher CFO or high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values.

(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009) Şengül, Metin Y.
In this work an algorithm to design lossless ladder networks with simple lumped elements connected via commensurate transmission lines is proposed. After giving the algorithm a lumped-element low-pass Chebyshev filter was transformed to its mixed-element counterpart to illustrate the utilization of the algorithm. The filter designed for a frequency band around 1 GHz was fabricated and experimentally characterized. We find very good agreement between measured and simulated transducer power gain over the entire frequency band of interest.

Correlation of Ternary Liquid- Equilibrium Data Using Neural Network-Based Activity Coefficient Model
(Springer, 2014) Özmen, Atilla
Liquid--liquid equilibrium (LLE) data are important in chemical industry for the design of separation equipments and it is troublesome to determine experimentally. In this paper a new method for correlation of ternary LLE data is presented. The method is implemented by using a combined structure that uses genetic algorithm (GA)--trained neural network (NN). NN coefficients that satisfy the criterion of equilibrium were obtained by using GA. At the training phase experimental concentration data and corresponding activity coefficients were used as input and output respectively. At the test phase trained NN was used to correlate the whole experimental data by giving only one initial value. Calculated results were compared with the experimental data and very low root-mean-square deviation error values are obtained between experimental and calculated data. By using this model tie-line and solubility curve data of LLE can be obtained with only a few experimental data.

Design of Broadband Microwave Amplifiers With Mixed-Elements Via Reflectance Data Modeling
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2008) Şengül, Metin Y.; Yarman, Sıddık Binboğa
A practical method is introduced to design single-stage broadband microwave amplifiers with mixed lumped and distributed elements via modeling the reflectance data obtained from lumped-element input and output matching network prototypes. The same transducer power gain level is obtained by using less number of lumped-elements in the mixed-element amplifier than that of the lumped-element amplifier prototype. A mixed-element amplifier design is presented to exhibit the utilization of the method. It is expected that the method will be employed to design microwave amplifiers for broadband communication systems. (C) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Design of Broadband Single Matching Networks
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2009) Şengül, Metin Y.
In general commercially available software tools are preferred to design broadband matching networks for wireless communication systems. But they need a properly selected matching network topology with good initial element values. Therefore in this paper a new real frequency technique is presented to generate broadband single matching networks with suitable initial element values. In the proposed method load impedance is written in terms of ABCD-parameters of the desired matching network and the source resistor. Then free parameters are optimized which in turn yields the desired matching network with initial element values. It is not needed to select a circuit topology for the matching network which is the natural consequence of the matching processes. Also there is no need to select the desired transducer power gain level , the proposed technique naturally provides a gain curve fluctuating around the final available level. Eventually the initial design is improved by optimizing the performance of the matched system employing the commercially available computer-aided design (CAD) packages. An algorithm and two examples are given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed technique. (C) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Design of Distributed-Element Rf Filters Via Reflectance Data Modeling
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2008) Şengül, Metin Y.; Yarman, Sıddık Binboğa; Volmer, Christian; Hein, Matthias A.
A reflectance-based modeling method is presented to obtain the distributed-element counterpart of a lumped-element network which is described by measured or computed reflectance data at a set of frequencies. Numerical generation of the scattering parameters forms the basis of this modeling tool. It is not necessary to select a circuit topology for the distributed-element model which is the natural consequence of the modeling process. Our approach supplements the known interpolation methods by a simple technique that does not involve complicated cascaded circuit topologies and whose numerical convergence is proven. To illustrate the utilization of the proposed method a lumped-element low-pass Chebyshev filter is transformed to its distributed-element counterpart. The filter designed for a frequency band around 1 GHz was fabricated and experimentally characterized. We find excellent agreement between measured and simulated transducer power gain over the entire frequency band. (c) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Design of Practical Matching Networks With Lumped Elements Via Modeling
(IEEE, 2007) Yarman, Sıddık Binboğa; Şengül, Metin Y.; Kılınç, Ali
It is a common practice to utilize commercially available software tools to design matching networks for wireless communication systems. Most of these tools require a properly selected matching network topology with good initial element values. Therefore in this paper a practical method is presented to generate matching networks with initial element values. In the implementation process of the proposed method first the driving point immitance data for the matching network is obtained in a straight forward manner without optimization. Then it is modeled as a realizable bounded-real input reflection coefficient which in turn yields the desired matching network with reasonable element values. Eventually the initial design is improved by optimizing the performance of the matched system employing the commercially available computer-aided design (CAD) packages. An example is given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed method. It is shown that new method provides excellent results as a front-end when utilized together with CAD tools.

Detection of Interdependent Primary Systems Using Wideband Cognitive Radios
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2013) Yılmaz, Burak; Erküçük, Serhat
Cognitive radios (CRs) may be sharing multiple frequency bands with primary systems if the CR is a wideband or an ultra wideband (UWB) system. In that case the CR should ensure all the coexisting primary systems in these bands are detected before it can start data transmission. In this work we study the primary system detection performance of a wideband CR assuming that there are multiple coexisting primary systems and that these primary systems may be jointly active. Accordingly we consider the implementation of energy detection scheme in multiple bands followed by two detection methods: (i) a maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) based detection (i.e. joint detection) that takes into account the statistics of simultaneously operating systems in independent bands and (ii) a Neyman-Pearson (NP) test based detection that optimizes the threshold values independently in each band (i.e. independent detection). For a simpler implementation of the independent detection we show that the threshold values obtained from joint detection can be used in order to achieve the optimum NP test based independent detection results. In addition to quantifying the gain of joint detection over independent detection in terms of probabilities of false alarm and detection for practical scenarios we also present the operation capability of CRs in terms of the fractions of time the CR can access the channel without interfering with the primary systems. The results are important for the practical implementation of multiband detection when the primary systems are known to be interdependent. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Dual-Hop Amplify-And Multi-Relay Maximum Ratio Transmission
(Korean Inst Communicatıons Sciences (KICS), 2016) Erdoğan, Eylem; Güçlüoğlu, Tansal
In this paper the performance of dual-hop multi-relay maximum ratio transmission (MRT) over Rayleigh flat fading channels is studied with both conventional (all relays participate the transmission) and opportunistic (best relay is selected to maximize the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)) relaying. Performance analysis starts with the derivation of the probability density function cumulative distribution function and moment generating function of the SNR. Then both approximate and asymptotic expressions of symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability are derived for arbitrary numbers of antennas and relays. With the help of asymptotic SER and outage probability diversity and array gains are obtained. In addition impact of imperfect channel estimations is investigated and optimum power allocation factors for source and relay are calculated. Our analytical findings are validated by numerical examples which indicate that multi-relay MRT can be a low complexity and reliable option in cooperative networks.

Effect of Power and Rate Adaptation on the Spectral Efficiency of Mqam/Ofdm System Under Very Fast Fading Channels
(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2012) Dong, Zhicheng; Fan, Pingzhi; Panayırcı, Erdal; Mathiopoulos, P. Takis
In this article the effect of power and rate adaptation on the spectral efficiency of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) is investigated in the presence of frequency selective and very rapidly time-varying fading channels under power and instantaneous bit error rate (BER) constraints. Lower bounds on the maximum spectral efficiency of adaptive OFDM/MQAM systems with perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) are obtained together with a closed-form expression for the average spectral efficiency of adaptive OFDM systems. The delay between the channel estimation and the actual transmission is also considered in this article. The theoretical and numerical results show that the adaptive MQAM/OFDM systems under fast fading channels have substantial gains in spectral efficiency over the non-adaptive counterparts with perfect CSI or moderate imperfect CSI. The theoretical and numerical results also show that a good way to deal with the delay CSI under very rapidly time-varying channels is to increase the subcarrier bandwidth of the OFDM system while ignoring the impact of the cyclic prefix.

Energy Efficient Robust Scheduling of Periodic Sensor Packets for Discrete Rate Based Wireless Networked Control Systems
(Elsevier, 2020) Farayev, Bakhtiyar; Uçar, Seyhan; Şadi, Yalçın; Coleri, Sinem
Wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) require the design of a robust scheduling algorithm that meets the stringent timing and reliability requirements of control systems, despite the limited battery resources of sensor nodes and adverse properties of wireless communication for delay and packet errors. In this article, we propose a robust delay and energy constrained scheduling algorithm based on the exploitation of the mostly pre-known periodic data generation nature of sensor nodes in control systems. We first formulate the joint optimization of scheduling, power control and rate adaptation for discrete rate transmission model, in which only a finite set of transmission rates are supported, as a Mixed-Integer Non-linear Programming problem and prove its NP-hardness. Next, we propose an optimal polynomial-time power control and rate adaptation algorithm for minimizing the transmission time of a node subset. We then design a novel polynomial-time heuristic scheduling algorithm based on first determining the concurrently transmitting node subsets and then distributing them uniformly over time by a modified Karmarkar-Karp algorithm. We demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm in terms of robustness, delay and runtime on the Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) simulation platform, which we developed in network simulator-3 (ns3).

Energy Efficient Scma Supported Downlink Cloud-Rans for 5g Networks
(IEEE, 2020) Ferdouse, Lilatul; Erküçük, Serhat; Anpalagan, Alagan; Woungang, Isaac
Cloud-radio access networks (C-RANs) are regarded as a promising solution to provide low cost services among users through the centralized coordination of baseband units for 5G wireless networks. The coordinated multi-point access, visualization and cloud computing technologies enable C-RANs to provide higher capacity and wider coverage, as well as manage the interference and mobility in a centralized coordinated way. However, C-RANs face many challenges due to massive connectivity and spectrum scarcity. If not properly handled, these challenges may degrade the overall performance. Recently, the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme has been suggested as an attractive solution to support multi-user resource sharing in order to improve the spectrum and energy efficiency in 5G wireless networks. In this paper, among various NOMA schemes, we consider and implement the sparse code multiple access (SCMA) scheme to jointly optimize the codebook (CB) and power allocation in the downlink of C-RANs, where the utilization of SCMA in C-RANs to improve the energy efficiency has not been investigated in detail in the literature. To solve this NP-hard joint optimization problem, we decompose the original problem into two sub-problems: codebook allocation and power allocation. Using the conflict graph, we propose the throughput aware SCMA CB selection (TASCBS) method, which generates a stable codebook allocation solution within a finite number of steps. For the power allocation solution, we propose the iterative level-based power allocation (ILPA) method, which incorporates different power allocation approaches (e.g., weighted and NOMA successive interference cancellation (SIC)) into different levels to satisfy the maximum power requirement. Simulation results show that the sum data rate and energy efficiency performances of SCMA supported C-RANs depend on the selected power allocation approach. In terms of energy efficiency, the performance significantly improves with the number of users when the NOMA-SIC aware geometric water-filling based power allocation method is used.
