Anisotropy Effect on Performance of Subcarrier Intensity Modulated Binary Phase Shift Keying Optical Wireless Communication Links in Weakly Turbulent Underwater Channel
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
The effect of the anisotropy on the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of subcarrier intensity modulated (SIM) binary phase shift keying (BPSK) optical wireless communication (OWC) links operating in weakly turbulent underwater channels is examined. BER variations versus the anisotropic factor are examined when the bandwidth, photodetector responsivity, load resistor and the underwater turbulence parameters are varied. As anisotropy in the underwater channel becomes larger, SIM BPSK OWC links have better BER performance at any link and turbulence parameter.

Antenna Synthesis by Levin's Method Using a Novel Optimization Algorithm for Knot Placement
(Applied Computational Electromagnetics Soc, 2023) Sener, Goker
- Antenna synthesis refers to determining the antenna current distribution by evaluating the inverse Fourier integral of its radiation pattern. Since this inte-gral is highly oscillatory, Levin's method can be used for the solution, providing high accuracy. In Levin's method, the integration domain is divided into equally spaced sub-intervals, and the integrals are solved by transfer-ring them into differential equations. This article uses a new optimization algorithm to determine the location of these interval points (knots) to improve the method's accuracy. Two different antenna design examples are pre-sented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the pro-posed method for antenna synthesis applications.

Aperture Averaging in Multiple-Input Single-Output Free-Space Optical Systems
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2015) Baykal, Yahya; Kamacioglu, Canan; Uysal, Murat; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Kamacoʇlu, Canan
Multiple-input single-output systems are employed in free-space optical links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. We formulate the power scintillation as a function of transmitter and receiver coordinates in the presence of weak atmospheric turbulence by using the extended Huygens Fresnel principle. Then the effect of the receiver aperture averaging is quantified. To get consistent results, parameters are chosen within the range of validity of the wave structure functions. Radial array beams and a Gaussian weighting aperture function are used at the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. It is observed that the power scintillation decreases when the source size, the ring radius, the receiver aperture radius, and the number of array beamlet increase. However, increasing the number of array beamlets to more than three seems to have negligible effect on the power scintillation. It is further observed that the aperture averaging effect is stronger when radial array beams are employed instead of a single Gaussian beam.

Ber Evaluations for Multimode Beams in Underwater Turbulence
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Arpali, Serap Altay; Baykal, Yahya; Arpali, Caglar
In underwater optical communication links, bit error rate (BER) is an important performance criterion. For this purpose, the effects of oceanic turbulence on multimode laser beam incidences are studied and compared in terms of average BER (< BER >), which is related to the scintillation index. Based on the log-normal distribution, < BER > is analysed for underwater turbulence parameters, including the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature, the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy, the parameter that determines the relative strength of temperature and salinity in driving index fluctuations, the Kolmogorov microscale length and other link parameters such as link length, wavelength and laser source size. It is shown that use of multimode improves the system performance of optical wireless communication systems operating in an underwater medium. For all the investigated multimode beams, decreasing link length, source size, the relative strength of temperature and salinity in driving the index fluctuations, the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature and Kolmogorov microscale length improve the < BER >. Moreover, lower < BER > values are obtained for the increasing wavelength of operation and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy in underwater turbulence.

Bit-Error Performance of Optical Wireless System Using Higher Order Mode Laser in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2018) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
The average bit-error-rate, (BER), of optical wireless system using higher order mode laser beam is investigated when atmospheric turbulence shows anisotropic and non-Kolmogorov characteristics. Results reveal that increase in anisotropy in both x- and y-directions positively affects the optical wireless systems performance. Increase in the beam order results in an increase in (BER) for any anisotropy level, and thus, higher order beams adversely affect the optical wireless systems performance. Larger structure constant, beam source size, and propagation distance result in larger (BER), but larger wavelength, inner scale length, and signal-tonoise ratio tend to reduce (BER). Increase in the power-law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulent spectrum first increases the (BER) until a certain value, and then (BER) starts to decrease when the power-law exponent is further increased. Adverse effect of higher order laser beam holds to be valid for any power-law exponent of non-Kolimogorov turbulence. (C) 2018 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)

Case Study on Thermal Optimization of Oil Immersed Transformer Used in Solar Power Plant Based on Genetic Algorithm and Computational Fluid Dynamics
(Vinca inst Nuclear Sci, 2023) Iskender, Ires; Yukselen, Emir
Transformers are one of the most capital investments in the solar power generation. Their safe and stable operations in the electrical networks are important. The main failure factor of transformers is the high temperature generated by the losses during operation, which increases the probability of insulation damage that significantly affects the useful life of transformer. Considering the importance of oil temperature and its effects on the life of the transformer, a numerical method is developed in this paper to optimize the cooling system of the transformer. In this regard, genetic algorithm is used as an optimization method to minimize the total cost of the cooling system while maintaining the required thermal conditions of the transformer. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out among the effective cooling geometry parameters using 3-D electromagnetic and thermal models of the photovoltaic transformer to evaluate and analyze the temperature distribution. The accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method is established by comparing the numerical results with those obtained from the experimental test. The results of the proposed method are found to be in a good agreement with the experimental and simulation results.

Cross-Beam Scintillations in Underwater Medium
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2016) Baykal, Yahya
The fluctuation in the intensity, which is quantified by the scintillation index, is evaluated for cross beams when such beams propagate in an underwater medium experiencing turbulence. The variations in the scintillation index are investigated against the changes in the size of the cross beams, the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature, and the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid.

Design of a Novel Converter Between Li-Ion Battery and Supercapacitor To Feed Synthetic Aperture Radar Loads for Satellite Applications
(int Journal Renewable Energy Research, 2020) Tulay, Gencer; İskender, İres; Iskender, Ires; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
For satellite applications the active duty life of a satellite depends mainly on the battery lifespan. The charging or discharging current has an important role in useful life of batteries. For this purpose, the converters used in power supplies including batteries should be accurately designed such that the large current of batteries can be prevented. The power converter proposed in this paper is used to transfer energy from battery to supercapacitor when SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) load is active. Accordingly, the lifespan of battery and hence the lifespan of satellite will be extended. Parallel to preventing the large discharging current of batteries the proposed converter has another important property such that it is able to vary the input voltage without having any stability problems. The operating performance of the converter that is composed of Weinberg and Buck converters is analyzed using PSpice software and the results of simulations are verified through experiments. The results show that how well the converter operates satisfying the conditions required for satellite applications.

Effect of Anisotropy on Intensity Fluctuations in Oceanic Turbulence
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Baykal, Yahya
For an optical spherical wave propagating in an oceanic turbulent medium, the effect of anisotropy on the received intensity fluctuations is investigated. For different anisotropy factors, the variations of the scintillation index vs. the ratio that determines the relative strength of temperature and salinity in the index fluctuations, the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature, the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy, viscosity, link length and the wavelength are plotted. It is found that, for all the oceanic turbulence and the link parameters of interest, as the medium becomes more anisotropic, the intensity of the optical spherical wave fluctuates less. It is concluded that the performance of an optical wireless communication systems (OWCS) operating in anisotropic oceanic turbulence is better than the performance of OWCS operating in isotropic oceanic turbulence.

Effects of Adaptive Optics on Bit Error Rate of M-Ary Ppm Oceanic Optical Wireless Communication Systems With Aperture Averaging in Strong Turbulence
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2021) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Scintillation is the result of oceanic turbulence reducing the bit error rate (BER) performance of oceanic optical wireless communication (OWC) systems. The scintillation, also known as intensity fluctuations, occurs due to the turbulence-induced wavefront deformations. The correction of deformations by adaptive optics (AO) reduces the scintillation effect of turbulence and results in improved BER performance. In this paper, an oceanic OWC (OOWC) system that has a Gaussian laser beam at the transmitter, finite-sized circular aperture at the receiver, employing M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) and operating in strong oceanic turbulence, is considered. Improvement in the BER performance of the OOWC system is examined with the implementation of AO correction. Comparison of BER performances between the AO and non-adaptive optics OOWC systems is shown by calculating the metric defined. BER of M-ary PPM OOWC links is evaluated over gamma-gamma fading channels. The modified Rytov theory together with the Zernike filter functions is used to find the AO corrected aperture averaged scintillation index where extended Huygens-Fresnel technique is used to obtain the average received signal power.

Field Correlation of Flat-Topped Beams in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Atmosphere
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin
Field correlation of flat-topped beams in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere is formulated and evaluated. Larger anisotropic factor causes higher field correlations. Smaller field correlations are seen when the transverse distance at the receiver plane increases. Smaller field correlations are observed at large off-axis transverse receiver points, which are valid for any anisotropic factor and for any power-law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulence. When the flat-topped beam is composed of large number of Gaussian beams, the field correlation becomes smaller. In anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence, longer propagation distances, larger structure constants, smaller inner scales and smaller source sizes decrease the field correlation. Larger power law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulence increases the field correlations at any anisotropic factor.

Flat-Topped Beam Transmittance in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Marine Atmosphere
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2017) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
Turbulence affects optical propagation, and, as a result, the intensity is attenuated along the path of propagation. The attenuation becomes significant when the turbulence becomes stronger. Transmittance is a measure indicating how much power is collected at the receiver after the optical wave propagates in the turbulent medium. The on-axis transmittance is formulated when a flat-topped optical beam propagates in a marine atmosphere experiencing anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence. Variations in the transmittance are evaluated versus the beam source size, beam number, link distance, power law exponent, anisotropy factor, and structure constant. It is found that larger beam source sizes and beam numbers yield higher transmittance values; however, as the link distance, power law exponent, anisotropy factor, or structure constant increase, transmittance values are lowered. Our results will help in the performance evaluations of optical wireless communication and optical imaging systems operating in a marine atmosphere.

Improvement of Underlay Cooperative Cognitive Networks Bandwidth Efficiency Under Interference and Power Constraints
(Ksii-kor Soc internet information, 2019) Preveze, Barbaros; Alkhayyat, Ahmed; Al-Mishmish, Hameed R. M.
The definition of the bandwidth efficiency (BE) of cognitive cooperative network (CCN) is the ratio between a number of the licensed slot(s) or sub-channel(s) used by the unlicensed users to transmit a single data packet from the unlicensed transmitter to unlicensed destination, and from unlicensed relay(s) to unlicensed destination. This paper analyzes and improves the BE in the underlay CCN with a new reactive relay selection under interference and power constraints. In other words, this paper studies how unlicensed cooperative users use the licensed network slot(s) or sub-channel(s) efficiently. To this end, a reactive relay selection method named as Relay Automatic Repeat Request (RARQ) is proposed and utilized with a CCN under interference and power constraints. It is shown that the BE of CCN is higher than that of cooperative transmission (CT) due to the interference and power constraint. Furthermore, the BE of CCN is affected by the distance of the interference links which are between the unlicensed transmitter to the licensed destination and unlicensed relay to the licensed destination. In addition, the BE for multiple relays selection over a CCN under interference and power constraints is also analyzed and studied, and it is shown that the BE of CCN decreases as the number of relays increases.

Intensity Correlation of Collimated Gaussian Beams Propagating in Biological Tissues
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Baykal, Yahya
Intensity correlations in turbulent biological tissues are evaluated when collimated Gaussian laser beam is used. Variations of the intensity correlations in biological tissues are investigated versus the diagonal distance from the origin of the observation plane for various tissue distances, biological tissue types, strength coefficients of the refractive-index fluctuations, starting points at the observation plane. Also, intensity correlations in biological tissues for various biological tissue types versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, small length-scale factor, fractal dimension. It is found that intensity correlations become smaller at larger diagonal distance, tissue distance, strength coefficients of the refractive-index fluctuations, and at smaller source size, small length-scale factor and fractal dimensions. Behaviour of the intensity correlations is found to depend on the type of the biological tissue. Our results can be used in tissue identification and to find the disorders in biological tissues.

Variations of the field correlations against the variations in the ring radius of laser array beam, number of beamlets composing the laser array, source size, underwater turbulence parameters, i.e. the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature and rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, are investigated. Field correlations of laser arrays are found to be larger than the field correlations of the single beams. The effect of underwater turbulence is to reduce the field correlation of laser arrays.

M-Ary Pulse Position Modulation Performance With Adaptive Optics Corrections in Atmospheric Turbulence
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin
The performance of M-ary pulse position modulated (PPM) optical wireless communication (OWC) systems in atmospheric weak turbulence medium is evaluated by using adaptive optics corrections. Piston, tilt, defocus and coma components of adaptive optics corrections are applied to the avalanche photodetector (APD) type of receiver and the results are obtained depending on various turbulence and receiver parameters. The lognormal channel distribution is used to model the weak atmospheric turbulence conditions. Adaptive optics correction increases the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an OWC system operating in atmospheric turbulence conditions. Piston component yields the highest BER performance, followed by the tilt, defocus and coma adaptive optics correction components respectively.
A Novel Method To Solve 2nd Order Neumann Type Boundary Value Problems in Electrostatics
(Applied Computational Electromagnetics Soc, 2017) Sener, Goker; Şener, Göker; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
In this paper, the numerical method of nonpolynomial spline approximation is used to solve 2nd order Neumann type boundary value problems (bvp's) in electrostatics. This new approach provides more accurate results than the polynomial approximations and the spectral methods. The literature contains very little on the solution of Neumann type bvp's because of the fact that a unique solution does not exist for all problems. In electrostatics, Neumann type bvp's are encountered for finding the electrostatic potential inside closed surfaces where the normal derivative of the electric potential is specified everywhere on the surface. Two examples are presented to prove the accuracy of the proposed method. In these examples, the governing differential equation is solved to find the electrostatic potential inside a region bounded by conductors that are maintained at constant voltages. The results are compared with the analytic solutions.

Performance Analysis of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Free-Space Optical Systems With Partially Coherent Gaussian Beams and Finite-Sized Detectors
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2016) Baykal, Yahya; Uysal, Murat; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are employed in free-space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. We consider a MIMO FSO system, which consists of a radial laser array with partially coherent Gaussian beams at the transmitter and a detector array with Gaussian apertures at the receiver. The average power and the power correlation function at the finite-sized receiver apertures are formulated by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle in weak atmospheric turbulence. This let us further quantify the performance metrics such as the power scintillation index, the aperture averaging factor, and the average bit error rate (BER) as functions of system parameters. The derived power scintillation equation correctly reduces to the existing coherent and partially coherent Gaussian beam scintillation indices in the limiting cases. Using the performance metrics, we analyze the effect of various practical system parameters on the performance of a MIMO FSO system. Practical system parameters include the transmitter and receiver ring radius, number of beamlets, number of finite-aperture receivers, source size, degree of source coherence, receiver aperture radius, link distance, and the structure constant of atmosphere.

Scintillation Index of Optical Spherical Wave Propagating Through Biological Tissue
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Baykal, Yahya; Arpali, Caglar; Arpali, Serap Altay
Effects of the tissue turbulence on the propagation of an optical spherical wave are analysed. For this purpose, scintillation index of an optical spherical wave which is propagating in a soft tissue is formulated and evaluated in weakly turbulent soft tissue. Scintillation index of the optical spherical wave is examined against the changes in the tissue parameters which are the tissue length between the optical spherical wave source and the detector, random variations in the refractive index of the tissue and the outer scale of the tissue turbulence. According to our graphical outputs, it is observed that increase in the random variations of the refractive index of the tissue results in an increase in the scintillation index at a certain realization of the turbulence spectrum. On the other hand, larger outer scales and longer tissue lengths yield larger scintillations. The variation of the scintillation index of the optical spherical wave versus the wavelength is also investigated. It is found that at small tissue lengths, wavelength has almost no effect on the scintillations; however, when the tissue length reaches a certain value, shorter wavelengths give rise to larger intensity fluctuations.
