Article ISAR Imaging of Drone Swarms at 77 GHz(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2025) Coruk, Remziye Busra; Kara, Ali; Aydin, ElifThe proliferation of easily available, internet-purchased drones, coupled with the emergence of coordinated drone swarms, poses a significant security threat for airspace. Detecting these swarms is crucial to prevent potential accidents, criminal misuse, and airspace disruptions. This paper proposes a novel inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging technique for high-resolution reconstruction of drone swarms at 77 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency, offering a valuable tool for military and defense antidrone systems. The key parameters affecting down-range and cross-range resolution (0.05 m), ultimately enabling the generation of detailed ISAR images are discussed. Here, we create diverse scenarios encompassing various swarm formations, sizes, and payload configurations by employing ANSYS simulations. To enhance image quality, different window functions are evaluated, and the Hamming window is selected due to its highest peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) (16.3645) and structural similarity (SSIM) (0.9067) values, ensuring superior noise reduction and structural preservation. The results demonstrate that the effectiveness of high-resolution ISAR imaging in accurately detecting and characterizing drone swarms pave the way for enhanced airspace security measures.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Aptamer-Based Magnetic Isolation and Specific Detection System for listeria Monocytogenes from Food Samples(Elsevier, 2024) Bayramoglu, Gulay; Ozalp, Veli Cengiz; Arica, Mehmet YakupIn this work, an aptamer-based magnetic system was designed for specific and rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food samples. To prepare the selective magnetic system against the target bacterium, firstly, magnetic particles (Fe3O4) were coated with two hydrophilic polymer layers. The specific aptamer immobilized magnetic system efficiently captured L. monocytogenes cells in a competitive response time of approximately 10 min. The magnetic aptamer detection system was very specific to L. monocytogenes and had high selective, up to 97.6 % compared to the Listeria species (Listeria ivanovii, Listeria innocua, and Listeria seeligeri) and other bacteria species Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Basillus subtilus. The isolation and detection of L. monocytogenes from food samples using the presented method are fast and reliable. Moreover, another significant factor to be contemplated is the use of a few chemicals for detection, reducing the cost of analysis, and the results can be obtained within 18 h.
