    An Application of High-Power Electromagnetic Pulse: Forming of Sheet Metal Using Electromagnetic Waves
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Inanan,G.; Baranoglu,B.; Aydin,E.
    In this study, the application of high velocity metal forming process by means of electromagnetic field is proposed. Electromagnetic Sheet Metal Forming (ESMF) is a process of forming sheet metal with very high speed (in milliseconds) without mechanical contact using the energy density of a pulsed magnetic field. In this process, deformation of the workpiece is driven by a transient electric current that is induced in a coil using a capacitor bank and discharge switch. This study presents some experiments and their results by examining the effects of different parameters in the proposed ESMF setup. The analysis and modelling of Electromagnetic sheet metal forming (ESMF) process is presented, as well. It has been seen that, it is possible to design a new system using the outcomes of this study. © 2015 Chamber of Electrical Engineers of Turkey.

    Indoor Location Finding Algorithms for Mobile Robots Carrying Passive Rfid Tags
    (2012) Özyurt,E.; Aydin,E.; Yapici,A.C.
    Precise localization of mobile robots is critical issue in military, industrial and show business applications. In the literature, several localization techniques has been proposed, in which reader is carried by the mobile object. But in this study a passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag is attached to mobile robot and the reader antennas being dispersed around the environment. This novelty protects the mobile robot from an increase of weight and results in saving in battery consumption. Also by this way, an increase in mobile object requires a mere increase in low cost passive RFID tags in the navigation system. We have applied a signal pattern matching algorithm, Weighted Centroid Localization (WCL) and Selective Adaptive Weighted Localization (SAWCL) algorithms to locate the tag via Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and we compare the results. In this study a pilot application is implemented and a prototype is developed to show the proof of concept of the system. © 2012 IEEE.

    In this study, the parameters that effects the operating frequency of dual frequency H-shaped antenna are examined. These parameters are determined as type of the dielectric constant of substrate, substrate thickness, dimensions of the antenna and dimensions of the slots that are used to obtain shape of H. The produced and simulated results of the proposed antennas are presented and compared with the studies in literature. © 2013 IEEE.

    Design Considerations for Near To the Ground Communication System and Associated Sub-Ghz Low Profile Antenna
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Yilmaz,V.S.; Bilgin,G.; Aydin,E.; Kara,A.
    This paper presents propagation aspects of a peer-to peer communication link where antennas are placed near to the ground (low height). First, some of the propagation models are evaluated for understanding of propagation mechanisms. In this regard, as the height of the antennas are very low and the distance is large enough, reflecting angle becomes very small that makes use of two ray model. On the other hand, in the horizontal plane, the positions of the scattering objects, as a source of lateral waves, might vary largely due to the terrain undulations along with variety of objects around the link. This makes propagation mechanisms a little bit complicated. In order to design low profile, high gain sub-GHz antenna for such propagation environment, microstrip antenna with vertical ground was designed and fabricated. The antenna is required to be protected from natural and man-made effects. Therefore, the antenna with associated sensors are embedded into a metal box with a dielectric cover. All these are discussed and some of the findings are presented. © 2017 IEEE.

    Analysis of a Dual Frequency Circular Patch Antenna
    (2012) Can,S.; Kapusuz,K.Y.; Aydin,E.
    This study demonstrates resonant frequencies of several shorting pin loaded circular antennas, which are dual-frequency antennas. Dual-frequency operation is formed by using a shorting pin, which is connected between ground and the radiated part of the antenna. There are various studies, which are used to produce dual-frequency operation, and among those methods, a shorting pin is used to form dual frequency circular patch antennas since there are rare studies on this issue and size reduction is possible by inserting a pin to an antenna. This study is done to expand the studies in the literature about a shorting pin loaded circular patch antennas. The parameters that affect the resonant frequencies of the antenna are also evaluated. The thickness, permittivity and shorting pin positions are varied and the resonant frequencies are examined according to the change of these parameters. Frequency ratios are determined for each variation and the results are compared.

    Miniaturized 2.4 Ghz Antenna Design for Uav Communication Link;
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Yilmaz,V.S.; Kara,A.; Aydin,E.
    In many communications applications, unlike conventional antennas, lightweight, flexible, small antennas that can adapt to mechanical and industrial constraints are required. In this study, the results of antenna design operating at 2.4 GHz are presented for use in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tele command links. In the parametric and optimization studies carried out on the antenna, it is aimed to increase the gain while keeping the size as small as possible. The requirements of the industry, such as light, aesthetics, miniature and high gain aspects of the antenna were targeted in the design process. Finally, an antenna of 55.2x88 mm size and 7dB gain was achieved using commercial electromagnetic design tools. The designed antenna become satisfying industrial requirements with these features. © 2020 IEEE.

    A bayes decision model for RSS based location estimation;
    (2007) Dinçer,Z.; Öktem,R.; Aydin,E.
    This work introduces a location estimation method based on Bayes Decision Theory using Radio Signal Strengths for indoor environment. Signal Strengths are observed through three transmitters at three distinct frequencies in UHF band, an active RFID tag and a modem connected to a computer. The test environment is 2100cmx720cm, which is divided into classed of square grids. For each class, a set of received signal strengths are measured and processed. Assuming that the class in which the RFID tag was located in the previous time of measurement is known, the next location (class) is estimated using Bayes Decision Theory. Proposed method is tested in a laboratory environment with obstacles. Results show that proposed method will be successful in location estimation where the estimation error stays within around 2m.

    Study of an Rfid Based Moving Object Tracking System
    (2007) Aydin,E.; Öktem,R.; Dinçer,Z.; Akbulut,I.K.
    This paper presents a study on localization and tracking of an object carrying an active RFID tag. The study incorporates processing of the signals received from transmitters, in a way to locate and track the coordinate in an indoor environment. During the course of the project, both outdoor and indoor experiments have been conducted. Empirical distance vs signal strength formulations are formed by use of the collected data. Deviation of the reported values from the theory is analyzed, and the effects of reflections from doors, windows, etc. are observed. In order to improve the accuracy of tracking, Bayesian and Kalman Filtering approaches are incorporated.
