    On the Design and Effectiveness of Simulink-Based Educational Material for a Communication Systems Course
    (Wiley, 2020) Coruk, R. Busra; Yalcinkaya, Bengisu; Kara, Ali
    The methods used in engineering education have gained diversity in parallel with rapidly evolving technology. New technological methods along with the traditional methods have been adopted for undergraduate education. Today, Simulink-based educational materials are used in many fields in engineering education. However, in the literature, the contribution of such educational materials to the learning process has not been measured thoroughly. This study presents a comprehensive measurement method to improve the created course material and show the effectiveness of developed course material in students' success. First, educational material was developed for an undergraduate electrical engineering course: communication systems. A feedback group made up of diverse student learners was employed extensively in the material development phase. Next, the impact of the developed material on the success of the students was examined using both qualitative and quantitative measurement tools including questionnaires, one-to-one interviews, and class and university level anonymous surveys. This also included students' performance regarding laboratory quizzes and achievement of course learning outcomes. Overall, the measurement results show that the course material increased students' success in the course. Moreover, students' general perception of the course material was positive.

    Modeling and Measurement of Human Body Blockage Loss at 28 Ghz
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Benzaghta, Mohamed; Gokdogan, Bengisu Yalcinkaya; Coruk, Remziye Busra; Kara, Ali
    Millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) spectrum is an essential enabler to the fifth generation (5G) wireless technology. Humans are one of the most noticeable blockers that cause temporal variation in indoor radio channels. This paper presents human blockage measurements at 28 GHz, with several humans of different sizes. The effect of the crossing orientations of the human bodies is investigated for three different transmitter heights. A human blockage model based on the Fresnel diffraction scheme is shown to be applicable in estimating the human blockage loss in indoor radio links considering various body sizes, different crossing orientations, and different transmitter heights. The findings reported in this paper could help improve indoor radio channel models at 28 GHz bands for 5G technologies considering the presence of human body blockages.

    On the Classification of Modulation Schemes Using Higher Order Statistics and Support Vector Machines
    (Springer, 2022) Coruk, Remziye Busra; Gokdogan, Bengisu Yalcinkaya; Benzaghta, Mohamed; Kara, Ali
    The recognition of modulation schemes in military and civilian applications is a major task for intelligent receiving systems. Various Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) algorithms have been developed for this purpose in the literature. However, classification with low computational complexity as well as reasonable processing time is still a challenge. In this paper, a feature-based approach along with various classifiers is employed based on statistical features as well as higher-order moments and cumulants. An over-the-air (OTA) recorded dataset consisting of four analog and ten digital modulation schemes are used for testing the proposed method at 0-20 dB SNR. The overall accuracy for quadratic Support Vector Machine (SVM) is found to be as high as 98% at 10 dB. The comparison of the results with other AMC papers published in the literature indicates that the proposed method present higher accuracy, especially for realistic channel induced OTA dataset.

    Low Signature UAVs: Radar Cross Section Analysis, Simulation, and Measurement in X-Band
    (Springer London Ltd, 2025) Unalir, Dizdar; Yalcinkaya, Bengisu; Aydin, Elif
    The increasing prevalence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is driving the development of radar systems capable of detecting them. This hampers the deployment of UAVs in military operations. While radar cross section reduction (RCSR) can be a valuable solution, the research on this subject is inadequate. This paper presents an RCSR approach adopting a shaping technique for UAVs, demonstrating the proposed approach's efficacy through simulations and actual experimental measurements performed in X-Band on a four-legged UAV model. Using electromagnetic computational instruments, the shaping is applied to the designed UAV model with parameter-based simulations, the simulated radar cross section (RCS) values are derived, and the comparative analysis of these instruments is conducted. Experimental measurements are performed in laboratory conditions using a vector network analyzer. Actual measurement results are validated by simulative findings with the examination of the influence of frequency, polarization, and aspect angle on RCS. The demonstrated measuring approach allows cost-effective and easily applicable research on RCS in X-Band, a commonly utilized frequency range in military. An average RCSR of 10 dBsm has been accomplished with the presented shaping approach.

    An Experimental Study on the Influence of Human Movement in Indoor Radio Channel at 28ghz
    (Ieee, 2021) Benzaghta, Mohamed; Coruk, Remziye Busra; Yalcinkaya, Bengisu; Kara, Ali
    Human activities around the communication link in an indoor environment have a significant impact on millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems, which are used for the new generation of communication networks (5G). Therefore, it is essential to evaluate short range indoor links from the link blockage point of view. This paper presents the propagation measurements in the presence of human activity, for a short range indoor office environment communication link at 28 GHz. During the experimental measurements, the human activity of three and six persons were observed for three different antenna height combinations. The human blockage (shadowing effect) is characterized in terms of the shadowing event duration, temporal fading, as well as overall attenuation. The results reported by this experimental study is believed to be vital in designing future mmWave communication systems that can overcome the deep fades caused by human blockage in short indoor communication links. Yet, this paper constitutes a part of an ongoing research study, further detailed results will be foreseen to present the precise effect of human movements around the propagation link at 28GHz.

    Blockage Loss and Shadow Fading Behavior of Millimeter-Wave Signals Due To Human Bodies at 28 Ghz
    (Wiley, 2024) Benzaghta, Mohamed; Gokdogan, Bengisu Yalcinkaya; Coruk, Remziye Busra; Kara, Ali
    As the millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) spectrum is considered to be an essential enabler to the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. Human movements are one of the most significant factors that cause transient blockage in indoor mm-wave channels. In this letter, human blockage measurements and shadow fading statistics due to human body movements in an indoor office environment are reported for the 28 GHz band. The effect of human bodies on the channel is measured for several scenarios including a variety of population and using diverse antenna heights. The reported shadow fading statistics include both the duration and the depth of the blockage fade, and accordingly, we propose several empirical models that cater for such blockage events. The findings reported in this letter could improve the modeling of indoor radio channels at 28 GHz bands by considering the presence of humans, as well as their movements.

    Low Radar Cross Section Uav Design in X-Band
    (Ieee, 2022) Unalir, Dizdar; Sezgin, Sila; Yuva, Cansu Sena; Yalcinkaya Gokdogan, Bengisu; Aydin, Elif; Gokdogan, Bengisu Yalcinkaya
    As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become widespread in defense industry, the radar technology that can detect them has also improved. These improvements cause UAVs to be detected more easily, which limits their effectiveness in military usage. Although the reduction of the radar cross-section (RCS) can provide a solution to this issue, the studies regarding that is insufficient in the literature. In this study, a shaping method is recommended to reduce the RCS of UAVs, and it is shown the method is effective to address the problem. Firstly, using a simulation tool, an UAV model is designed from simple shapes and the model is validated by comparing it with the ones in literature. Secondly, RCS values are measured using vertical and horizontal polarization throughout 360 degrees by incrementing the aspect angle by one degree in X-Band using the CST Studio Suite environment. Then, considering the hardware and aerodynamic requirements as well as limitations of the UAV model, a shaping technique is applied to the body, legs and the hollow parts of the UAV model with parametric simulations. The results show that the recommended shaping technique can provide a significant reduction in the RCS of an UAV.

    A Hybrid-Flipped Classroom Approach: Students' Perception and Performance Assessment
    (Univ Nac Colombia, Fac ingenieria, 2023) Gokdogan, Bengisu Yalcinkaya; Coruk, Remziye Busra; Benzaghta, Mohamed; Kara, Ali
    This study presents an improved hybrid-flipped classroom (hybrid-FC) education method based on technology-enhanced learning (TEL) along with diluted classes for a course on probability and random processes in engineering. The proposed system was implemented with the participation of two student groups who alternated weekly between attending face-to-face activities and fully online classes as a sanitary measure during the pandemic. The education model was combined with the flipped classroom (FC) approach in order to improve the quality of learning and address the negative effects of remote education. Before the lessons, the students studied the course material, filled a question form, and then took a low- stake online quiz. Then, the students attended a session where the questions reported in the forms were discussed, and they took an online problem-solving session followed by an individual quiz. Class sessions were available to both online and face-to-face students, as well as in the form of video recordings for anyone who missed lessons. Qualitatively and quantitatively, the proposed education method proved to be more effective and comprehensive than conventional online methodologies. The students' performances were evaluated via quizzes and exams measuring the achievement of the course learning outcomes ( CLOs). Weekly pre/post-tests were applied to examine the students' progress in each topic. Midterm and final exams were planned to measure the level of success for all course topics. Additionally, the students' perception was assessed with questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. A performance assessment showed an apparent increase in the success rate, and the students' perception was found to be positive.

    Model Enhancement for UAV Stealth in X-Band
    (IEEE, 2025) Unalir, Dizdar; Yalcinkaya, Bengisu; Aydin, Elif
    With the rapid advancement of technology, radar detection techniques continue to evolve, challenging the effectiveness of traditional unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) stealth techniques. As the usage of UAVs in military applications expands, the need for effective radar cross section reduction (RCSR) methods to enhance their stealth capabilities has grown significantly. In this study, we propose an enhancement of a previously developed Low-RCS UAV model, focusing on RCSR with shaping technique in the X-band. For the identification and optimization of the UAV model's highly reflective components, a detailed simulative analysis of the RCS was performed using CST Studio Suite Environment. The modifications are applied to the body and leg components to minimize radar reflections. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed enhancements significantly reduced RCS values compared to the original Low-RCS UAV model. A total of 13 dBsm reduction in RCS was observed compared to the traditional UAV models. Comparative analysis for different frequencies in X-Band and various aspect angles confirmed the effectiveness of the improved design, validating its potential for stealth applications. The findings can contribute to the research in UAV stealth technology and provide insights into future low-visibility UAV designs.
