Article Citation Count: 23Comparison of Improved Slope Uniform Theory of Diffraction with Some Geometrical Optic and Physical Optic Methods for Multiple Building Diffractions(Taylor & Francis inc, 2009) Kara, Ali; Kara, A.; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThis article presents a review of diffraction algorithms based on the uniform theory of diffraction for multiple building transition zone diffractions and proposes an improved uniform theory of diffraction model for fast and more accurate field prediction for multiple diffractions. The proposed method is based on the improved version of the slope uniform theory of diffraction and Fresnel zone concept, called the slope uniform theory of diffraction with convex hull. This article also provides a comparison for uniform theory of diffraction based algorithms and discusses the results for computation time and accuracy. Furthermore, the slope uniform theory of diffraction and the slope uniform theory of diffraction with convex hull methods are compared with a physical optics solution based on numerical computation of the Kirchhoff-Huygens integrals. Results of extensive simulations are presented and discussed for the development of fast and accurate radio network planning tools.Article Citation Count: 0On the accuracy of an emitter localization method based on multipath exploitation in realistic scenarios(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, Ali; Dalveren, Y.; Tabakcioglu, M. B.; Kara, A.; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThis study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a method proposed for passive localization of radar emitters around irregular terrains with a single receiver in Electronic Support Measures systems. Previously, the authors targeted only the theoretical development of the localization method. In fact, this could be a serious concern in practice since there is no evidence regarding its accuracy under the real data gathered from realistic scenarios. Therefore, an accurate ray-tracing algorithm is adapted to enable the implementation of the method in practice. Then, realistic scenarios are determined based on the geographic information system map generated to collect high-resolution digital terrain elevation data, as well as realistic localization problems for radar emitters. Next, simulations are performed to test the localization method. Thus, the performance of the method is verified for practical implementation in the electronic warfare context for the first time. Lastly, the performance bounds of the method are discussed.
