Article Citation - Scopus: 10Multipath Exploitation in Emitter Localization for Irregular Terrains(Czech Technical University, 2019-06-14) Dalveren,Y.; Kara,A.Electronic Support Measures (ESM) systems have many operational challenges while locating radar emitter's position around irregular terrains such as islands due to multipath scattering. To overcome these challenges, this paper addresses exploiting multipath scattering in passive localization of radar emitters around irregular terrains. The idea is based on the use of multipath scattered signals as virtual sensor through Geographical Information System (GIS). In this way, it is presented that single receiver (ESM receiver) passive localization can be achieved for radar emitters. The study is initiated with estimating candidate multipath scattering centers over irregular terrain. To do this, ESM receivers' Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time of Arrival (TOA) information are required for directly received radar pulses along with multipath scattered pulses. The problem then turns out to be multiple-sensor localization problem for which Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)-based techniques can easily be applied. However, there is high degree of uncertainty in location of candidate multipath scattering centers as the multipath scattering involves diffuse components over irregular terrain. Apparently, this causes large localization errors in TDOA. To reduce this error, a reliability based weighting method is proposed. Simulation results regarding with a simplified 3D model are also presented. © 2019 RADIOENGINEERING.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16A Study on the Performance Evaluation of Wavelet Decomposition in Transient-Based Radio Frequency Fingerprinting of Bluetooth Devices(Wiley, 2022-01-18) Almashaqbeh, Hemam; Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, AliRadio frequency fingerprinting (RFF) is used as a physical-layer security method to provide security in wireless networks. Basically, it exploits the distinctive features (fingerprints) extracted from the physical waveforms emitted from radio devices in the network. One of the major challenges in RFF is to create robust features forming the fingerprints of radio devices. Here, dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) provides an accurate way of extracting those robust features. However, its performance on the RFF of Bluetooth transients which fall into narrowband signaling has not been reported yet. Therefore, this study examines the performance of DT-CWT features on the use of transient-based RFF of Bluetooth devices. Initially, experimentally collected Bluetooth transients from different smartphones are decomposed by DT-CWT. Then, the characteristics and statistics of the wavelet domain signal are exploited to create robust features. Next, the support vector machine (SVM) is used to classify the smartphones. The classification accuracy is demonstrated by varying channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the size of transient duration. Results show that reasonable accuracy can be achieved (lower bound of 88%) even with short transient duration (1024 samples) at low SNRs (0-5 dB).Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Development of a Digital Communications Course Enriched by Virtual and Remote Laboratory Tools(2011-08) Kara,A.; Kara, Ali; Cagiltay,N.; Çağıltay, Nergiz; Dalveren,Y.; Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, Ali; Çağıltay, Nergiz; Dalveren, Yaser; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Software Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Software EngineeringDigital communications is a basic concept for rapidly growing fields of Electrical, Computer and Electronics Engineering like wireless and mobile communication systems, radar and electronic warfare, telemetry and many signal processing techniques.

In order to evaluate its effectiveness, the proposed model is tested on a new dataset containing tiny (100 x 100 pixels) and low resolution (96 dpi) vehicle images. The proposed model is then compared with well-known VGG16-based CNN models in terms of accuracy and complexity. Results indicate that although the well-known models provide higher accuracy, the proposed method offers an acceptable accuracy (92.9%) as well as a simple and lightweight solution for vehicle classification in low quality images. Thus, it is believed that this study might provide useful perception and understanding for further research on the use of standard low-cost cameras to enhance the ability of the intelligent systems such as intelligent transportation system applications.Doctoral Thesis Düşük Çözünürlüklü Görüntülerde Araç Tespiti ve Siniflandirmasi için Birden Fazla Aşamali Modüler Bir Yöntem(2025) Maiga, Bamoye; Dalveren, YaserAkıllı ulaşım sistemlerinde (ITS) gerçek zamanlı araç tespitinin önemi, şehir trafiğindeki araç sayısındaki sonsuz ve sürekli artışla vurgulanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, çok çeşitli kamera kaliteleri ve çözünürlükleri, farklı görüş açıları ve zayıf aydınlatma ve olumsuz hava koşulları gibi harici ve kontrol edilemeyen değişkenlerin etkisi, doğru araç tespiti ve sınıflandırmasında birçok zorluk yaratmaktadır. Derin öğrenme tabanlı nesne algılama algoritmalarının çoğu, daha önce bahsedilen bu koşullar düşük görünürlük ve/veya düşük çözünürlüklü görüntülere neden olduğu için bu tür durumlarda zorlanmaktadır. Bu kısıtlamaların üstesinden gelmek için bu çalışma, loş ışık, kötü hava koşulları ve düşük çözünürlük gibi zorlu görüntüleme durumlarına uyarlanmış gerçek zamanlı araç tespiti ve sınıflandırması için yeni, modüler, etkili ve güvenilir bir yaklaşım önermektedir. Önerilen yaklaşım iki özel veri kümesinin oluşturulmasını içermektedir. İlk veri kümesi PASCAL VOC formatında 4.500 düşük çözünürlüklü trafik manzarası görüntüsünden oluşmakta ve transfer öğrenme yoluyla bir nesne tespit modelini eğitmek için kullanılmaktadır. İkinci veri kümesi, iki farklı sınıflandırma modelini eğitmeyi amaçlayan, her biri 100 × 100 piksel boyutlarında ve 96 dpi ve altında çözünürlüğe sahip beş araç türünün 10.000 düşük çözünürlüklü görüntüsünü içerir. Önerilen yaklaşım, son teknoloji ürünü tek aşamalı bir dedektör (SSD) olan EFFICIENTDET1'i hafif bir özel evrişimli sinir ağı (CNN) sınıflandırıcısı ve bir XGBoost sınıflandırıcısı ile entegre etmektedir. Bu kombinasyon, hem makine hem de derin öğrenme algoritmalarının güçlü yönlerinden faydalanarak tespit performansını ve sınıflandırma doğruluğunu artırır. Önerilen yaklaşımın etkinliği deneysel değerlendirme ile gösterilmiştir. Önerilen yaklaşım, 0,9323 ortalama ortalama hassasiyet (mAP) ile aynı veri kümesi üzerinde karşılaştırılabilir koşullarda geleneksel ve son teknoloji nesne algılama modellerinden belirgin şekilde daha iyi performans göstermektedir. Ayrıca, çoklu işlemin uygulandığı önerilen yaklaşım, kare başına 26 milisaniyelik bir çıkarım hızına ulaşmaktadır. Bu, son teknoloji ürünü nesne yöntemlerine kıyasla hem doğruluk hem de çıkarım hızında önemli bir gelişmeye işaret etmektedir. Önerilen yaklaşımın modüler, uyarlanabilir ve ölçeklenebilir yapısı, onu ITS'deki uygulamalar için ideal kılmaktadır. Önerilen yaklaşımın yüksek doğruluğunun yanı sıra çıkarım hızı, düşük görüntü kalitesi veya olumsuz çevresel faktörler gibi koşullar altında gerçek zamanlı uygulamalar için etkili ve operasyonel bir seçenek haline getirmektedir. Sonuç olarak, önerilen yaklaşım, zorlu durumlarda daha güvenli ve daha etkili ulaşım yönetimi sağlayabileceğinden, derin öğrenme tabanlı araç algılama alanında büyük bir potansiyele sahiptir. Bu bulgular, verimli bir nesne algılama modelinin çok işlemli bir mimaride özel sınıflandırıcılarla birleştirilmesinin, gerçek zamanlı araç algılamada gelecekteki araştırmalar için umut verici bir yönü temsil ettiğini göstermektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1From Street Canyons To Corridors: Adapting Urban Propagation Models for an Indoor IQRF Network(MDPI, 2025-11-13) Doyan, Talip Eren; Yalcinkaya, Bengisu; Dogan, Deren; Dalveren, Yaser; Derawi, MohammadAmong wireless communication technologies underlying Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart buildings, IQRF (Intelligent Connectivity Using Radio Frequency) technology is a promising candidate due to its low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and wide coverage. However, effectively modeling the propagation characteristics of IQRF in complex indoor environments for simple and accurate network deployment remains challenging, as architectural elements like walls and corners cause substantial signal attenuation and unpredictable propagation behavior. This study investigates the applicability of a site-specific modeling approach, originally developed for urban street canyons, to characterize peer-to-peer (P2P) IQRF links operating at 868 MHz in typical indoor scenarios, including line-of-sight (LoS), one-turn, and two-turn non-line-of-sight (NLoS) configurations. The received signal powers are compared with well-known empirical models, including international telecommunication union radio communication sector (ITU-R) P.1238-9 and WINNER II, and ray-tracing simulations. The results show that while ITU-R P.1238-9 achieves lower prediction error under LoS conditions with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 5.694 dB, the site-specific approach achieves substantially higher accuracy in NLoS scenarios, maintaining RMSE values below 3.9 dB for one- and two-turn links. Furthermore, ray-tracing simulations exhibited notably larger deviations, with RMSE values ranging from 7.522 dB to 16.267 dB and lower correlation with measurements. These results demonstrate the potential of site-specific modeling to provide practical, computationally efficient, and accurate insights for IQRF network deployment planning in smart building environments.Article Citation - WoS: 10Multipath Exploitation in Emitter Localization for Irregular Terrains(Spolecnost Pro Radioelektronicke inzenyrstvi, 2019-06-14) Dalveren, Yaser; Kara, AliElectronic Support Measures (ESM) systems have many operational challenges while locating radar emitter's position around irregular terrains such as islands due to multipath scattering.
