A Novel Design of Two Loosely Coupled Bandpass Filter Based On Hilbert-Zz Resonator With Higher Harmonic Suppression
(Ieee, 2013) Mezaal, Yaqeen S.; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Ali, Jawad K.; 7688
New characteristics of fractal design scheme has been introduced to generate compact two poles capacitively coupled microstrip bandpass filter by using additional coupling stubs for different wireless applications. The presented fractal scheme is based on specific type of Hilbert space-filling curve which is called Hilbert-zz fractal geometry. The performance of generated bandpass filter structure has been analyzed using Sonnet software package with a relative dielectric constant of 9 and a substrate thickness of 1.27 mm. Results show that these filters possess good transmission and return loss characteristics, besides higher harmonics suppressions; meeting the specifications of most of wireless communication systems.
Analysis of flat-topped Gaussian vortex beam scintillation properties in atmospheric turbulence
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2019) Elmabruk, Kholoud; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.
We analyze the scintillation properties of a flat-topped Gaussian vortex beam propagating in a weakly turbulent atmosphere. We utilize a random phase screen model to perform this analysis. We evaluate the scintillation against the changes of topological charge, beam order, operating wavelength, receiver aperture side length, and source size parameters. The results show that using a flat-topped Gaussian vortex beam with a high topological charge causes a reduction in scintillation. Increasing the receiver aperture side length reduces scintillation level. As the source size increases, scintillation decreases. Our results also indicate that a flat-topped Gaussian vortex beam with high topological charges has less scintillation than the fundamental Gaussian beam. We believe that our findings will be useful in improving the performance of next-generation optical communication links and networks.

Angle-of-arrival fluctuations for general-type beams
(Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; 7688; 7812
Starting with the recently introduced phase correlation function of a general-type beam, the angle-of-arrival fluctuations are derived and evaluated in atmospheric turbulence for lowest-order Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian, annular, and flat-topped beams. Our motivation is to examine the improvement in the performance of optical atmospheric links when such beams are employed. For these beams, the dependence of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations on the propagation length, displacement and focusing parameters, source size, inner and outer scales of turbulence, and receiver radius is investigated. It is found that in the majority of the cases examined, the angle- of- arrival fluctuations remain small and hence are not expected to adversely affect the operation of free-space atmospheric links. It is observed that amongst the beams considered, the cos-Gaussian beam offers the least amount of angle-of-arrival fluctuations, while the worst behavior is exhibited by the cosh-Gaussian beam. This situation is reversed, however, if focused beams are used. (C) 2007 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
Annular, cosh and cos Gaussian beams in strong turbulence
(Springer Heidelberg, 2011) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
For the strong atmospheric turbulence regime, the asymptotic on-axis scintillation behavior of annular, cosh and cos Gaussian beams is theoretically derived and illustrated with numerical examples. It is observed from the plots that annular Gaussian beams exhibit more scintillations than a Gaussian beam, regardless of the amplitude coefficient and source size settings. For small source sizes, cosh Gaussian beams seem to have an advantage over Gaussian beams in terms of reduced scintillation, but for large source sizes a switchover occurs where cos Gaussian beams assume the advantage. Analysis of the effect of inner scale value shows that scintillations increases for all beams as the inner scale increases.
Apertured averaged scintillation of fully and partially coherent Gaussian, annular Gaussian, flat toped and dark hollow beams
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
Apertured averaged scintillation requires the evaluation of rather complicated irradiance covariance function. Here we develop a much simpler numerical method based on our earlier introduced semianalytic approach. Using this method, we calculate aperture averaged scintillation of fully and partially coherent Gaussian, annular Gaussian flat topped and dark hollow beams. For comparison, the principles of equal source beam power and normalizing the aperture averaged scintillation with respect to received power are applied. Our results indicate that for fully coherent beams, upon adjusting the aperture sizes to capture 10 and 20% of the equal source power, Gaussian beam needs the largest aperture opening, yielding the lowest aperture average scintillation, whilst the opposite occurs for annular Gaussian and dark hollow beams. When assessed on the basis of received power normalized aperture averaged scintillation, fixed propagation distance and aperture size, annular Gaussian and dark hollow beams seem to have the lowest scintillation. Just like the case of point-like scintillation, partially coherent beams will offer less aperture averaged scintillation in comparison to fully coherent beams. But this performance improvement relies on larger aperture openings. Upon normalizing the aperture averaged scintillation with respect to received power, fully coherent beams become more advantageous than partially coherent ones. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Bit error rate analysis of Gaussian, annular Gaussian, cos Gaussian, and cosh Gaussian beams with the help of random phase screens
(Optical Soc Amer, 2014) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
Using the random phase screen approach, we carry out a simulation analysis of the probability of error performance of Gaussian, annular Gaussian, cos Gaussian, and cosh Gaussian beams. In our scenario, these beams are intensity-modulated by the randomly generated binary symbols of an electrical message signal and then launched from the transmitter plane in equal powers. They propagate through a turbulent atmosphere modeled by a series of random phase screens. Upon arriving at the receiver plane, detection is performed in a circuitry consisting of a pin photodiode and a matched filter. The symbols detected are compared with the transmitted ones, errors are counted, and from there the probability of error is evaluated numerically. Within the range of source and propagation parameters tested, the lowest probability of error is obtained for the annular Gaussian beam. Our investigation reveals that there is hardly any difference between the aperture-averaged scintillations of the beams used, and the distinctive advantage of the annular Gaussian beam lies in the fact that the receiver aperture captures the maximum amount of power when this particular beam is launched from the transmitter plane.

Complex degree of coherence and power moments of cylindrical sinc Gaussian beam
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
Complex degree of coherence and power moment aspects of cylindrical sinc Gaussian beam are investigated. To do this, we have used the random phase screen approach. It is seen that on the source plane, cylindrical sinc Gaussian beam has zero on-axis intensity and the sidelobes resemble the sinc or the Gaussian profile depending on the relative magnitudes of width parameter and the source size. Upon propagation in turbulent atmosphere, the initially flat complex degree of coherence becomes curved as the beam propagates, it then partially follows the intensity profile, and eventually turns into a delta function. Power moments are evaluated up to the fifth degree and over two different aperture sizes. In the aperture size of pointlike scintillations, the behaviors of power moments are similar to those of intensity moments. In aperture averaging conditions however, the differences between the variations of moments with respect to the propagation distance and degree of the moments become much less. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Complex degree of coherence for partially coherent general beams in atmospheric turbulence
(Optical Soc Amer, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; Cai, Yangjian; 7688; 7812
With the use of the general beam formulation, the modulus of the complex degree of coherence for partially coherent cosh-Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, Gaussian, annular and higher-order Gaussian optical beams is evaluated in atmospheric turbulence. For different propagation lengths in horizontal atmospheric links, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence at the source and receiver planes are examined when reference points are taken on the receiver axis and off-axis. In the on-axis case, it is observed that in propagation, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence are symmetrical and look like the intensity profile of the related coherent beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere. For all the beams considered, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence profiles turn into Gaussian shapes beyond certain propagation lengths. In the off-axis case, the moduli of complex degree of coherence patterns become drifted at the earlier propagation lengths. Among the beams investigated, the cos-Gaussian beam is found to be almost independent of the changes in the source partial coherence parameter, and the annular beam seems to be affected the most against the variations of the source partial coherence parameter.

Convergence of general beams into Gaussian intensity profiles after propagation in turbulent atmosphere
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Sermutlu, Emre; Baykal, Yahya; Sermutlu, Emre; 7688; 7812; 17647
It is shown that a general shaped laser beam will eventually approach a Gaussian average intensity profile after propagation in turbulent atmosphere. In our formulation, source field at the exit plane of the laser is taken as the product of arbitrary functions of source transverse coordinates with Gaussian exponential modulations. Following the expansion of the arbitrary functions in terms of Hermite polynomials, the average receiver intensity expression is derived using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the conditions for the intensity profile to assume a Gaussian shape are stated. The results are illustrated by simulating various source field distributions. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Correction of amplitude distortions for truncated Bessel beam and SER estimation for 4ASK
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
We apply amplitude corrections to a truncated Bessel beam that has propagated through turbulent atmosphere modelled by random phase screens. These corrections are realized via transmitting an unmodulated beam in parallel to the one carrying the 4 amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulated message signal. On the receiver side, the amplitude corrections are obtained by dividing the intensity of the unmodulated beam by its free space equivalence. The corrections are then used to restore the amplitude distortions of the beam carrying the 4ASK modulated message signal and in the determination of decision boundaries for the received 4ASK symbols. The success of the system is visually inspected by comparing the received intensity profiles before and after the application of corrections. Furthermore, simulation analysis of symbol error rate (SER) is made, where the proposed set-up is found to be quite insensitive to wavelength difference between the unmodulated and modulated beams. On the other hand, the difference in the structure constant values of these two beams seems to have profound effect on system performance.
Estimation of aperture averaged scintillations in weak turbulence regime for annular, sinusoidal and hyperbolic Gaussian beams using random phase screen
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
Using the random phase screen method, aperture averaged scintillations for annular, sinusoidal and hyperbolic Gaussian beams are estimated. Prior to this estimation, the designed random phase screen setup is tested against the known results of the existing literature from the aspects of receiver intensity distribution, point-like scintillation index and aperture averaged scintillation of spherical and Gaussian beam waves. Having obtained satisfactory results, we then proceed to estimate aperture averaged scintillations for annular, sinusoidal and hyperbolic Gaussian beams. Our findings indicate that at a fixed aperture radius of 5 cm, sine Gaussian beam exhibits the highest scintillation, annular Gaussian beam has on the other hand has the lowest scintillations. When examined against varying aperture sizes, the scintillation ordering of beams does not change. Furthermore, although larger aperture sizes achieve substantial scintillation reductions, the rate of reductions gradually become smaller. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Intensity fluctuations of focused general-type beams in atmospheric optics links
(Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2007) Baykal, Yahya; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7812; 7688
The intensity fluctuations of focused general-type beams in weakly turbulent atmospheric links are formulated and numerically evaluated. Focused general-type beams in general cover very large range of beams, however in this work we concentrate specifically on the focused sinusoidal-Gaussian, annular and flat-topped beams. The behavior of the scintillations for these beams is examined versus the focusing distance, wavelength of operation and the source size. In our formulation, atmospheric turbulence is introduced through the Rytov method where the free space field (i.e., in the absence of turbulence) at the receiver plane for the general-type focused beam is found by utilizing the Huygens-Fresnel principle. Figures are presented showing the scintillation index for focused general-type beams and collimated general-type beams. To find out the source and medium parameters that will yield favourable scintillation levels, the intensity fluctuations of the focused sinusoidal-Gaussian, annular and flat-topped beams are compared. Within the range of selected source and medium parameters, our observations indicate that the intensity fluctuations in weak turbulence tend to be the smallest for the focused flat-topped Gaussian beams and the largest for the focused cos-Gaussian beams. Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian and annular beams experience interim level fluctuations. The comparison of the scintillation levels for the mentioned types of focused beams follow the same tendency for all the propagation distances. Also, the intensity fluctuations of the focused general-type beams in turbulence are compared with their collimated counterparts. Such a comparison reveals that for all the beams at a selected source size, the scintillations are nearly the same for both the focused and the collimated cases at all the propagation distances, except for the flat-topped Gaussian beams. When focused flat-topped Gaussian beams are employed, the intensity fluctuations seem to be lower as compared to the equivalent collimated flat-topped Gaussian beam at shorter link lengths.
Intensity fluctuations of partially coherent cos Gaussian and cosh Gaussian beams in atmospheric turbulence
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2011) Baykal, Yahya; Çil, Celal Zaim; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Cil, Celal Z.; Cai, Yangjian; Korotkova, Olga; 7812; 7688
On-axis and off-axis scintillation indices of partially coherent collimated cos Gaussian and cosh Gaussian beams are evaluated on their propagation in a weakly turbulent atmosphere. In the coherent limits, our results are in quite good agreement with those for the existing Rytov scintillation index of coherent cos Gaussian and cosh Gaussian beams, especially for very small and very large sized beams and at weaker turbulence levels. The on-axis scintillation index becomes lower as the degree of source coherence decreases for both cos Gaussian and cosh Gaussian beams. Comparing to the partially coherent Gaussian beam on-axis scintillations, partially coherent cos Gaussian beam scintillations are generally lower and partially coherent cosh Gaussian beam scintillations are higher. Scintillations of Gaussian beams are very close to the scintillations of equal-power cos Gaussian and are quite similar to the scintillations of equal-power cosh Gaussian beams. Off-axis evaluations yield that the scintillations of both cos Gaussian and cosh Gaussian beams increase as the diagonal distance from the origin increases, being valid for all degrees of partial coherence.
Investigation of new microstrip bandpass filter based on patch resonator with geometrical fractal slot
(Public Library Science, 2016) Mezaal, Yaqeen S.; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
A compact dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter using geometrical slot is presented in this paper. The adopted geometrical slot is based on first iteration of Cantor square fractal curve. This filter has the benefits of possessing narrower and sharper frequency responses as compared to microstrip filters that use single mode resonators and traditional dual-mode square patch resonators. The filter has been modeled and demonstrated by Microwave Office EM simulator designed at a resonant frequency of 2 GHz using a substrate of epsilon(r) = 10.8 and thickness of h = 1.27 mm. The output simulated results of the proposed filter exhibit 22 dB return loss, 0.1678 dB insertion loss and 12 MHz bandwidth in the passband region. In addition to the narrow band gained, miniaturization properties as well as weakened spurious frequency responses and blocked second harmonic frequency in out of band regions have been acquired. Filter parameters including insertion loss, return loss, bandwidth, coupling coefficient and external quality factor have been compared with different values of perturbation dimension (d). Also, a full comparative study of this filter as compared with traditional square patch filter has been considered.
Irradiance fluctuations of partially coherent super Lorentz Gaussian beams
(Elsevier, 2011) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Gökçe, Muhsin Caner; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688; 28643
By using the semi-analytic approach introduced earlier, we formulate and subsequently evaluate the irradiance fluctuations of partially coherent super Lorentz Gaussian beams for orders of 10 and 11. Within the range of examined source and propagation conditions, our calculations show that there will be less fluctuations at short propagation distances as the Lorentzian property is increased. But the reverse will be applicable, if the longer propagation distances are considered. The use of focusing will cause reductions, particularly for beams with increased Lorentzian property.

Laguerre-Gaussian beam scintillation on slant paths
(Springer, 2012) Yuceer, Mehmet; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
Scintillation evaluations for Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams for slant paths are made using Rytov approximation. On- and off-axis scintillation is formulated and calculated up to several tens of kilometers of slant distances for different zenith angles. Scintillation index variations against radial receiver point and different source sizes are also investigated. In all cases evaluated, it is found that LG beams with higher radial mode numbers result in less scintillation than Gaussian beam. Kolmogorov spectrum function is utilized in the scintillation calculations.
New Dual Band Dual-Mode Microstrip Patch Bandpass Filter Designs Based On Sierpinski Fractal Geometry
(Ieee, 2013) Mezaal, Yaqeen S.; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Ali, Jawad K.; 7688
Dual band dual mode chebychev microstrip bandpass filter designs are introduced for first time in this paper. The proposed filter designs are based on the use of dual mode square slotted patch microstrip resonator. These filter structures are fractally generated using Sierpinski fractal curve geometry applied to the conventional square microstrip patch from 1st to 2nd iteration levels where the first band designed at fundamental frequencies (5.475, 5.45 and 5.4) GHz for each iteration while the second band(8.925, 9.15, 9.05) GHz for each iteration. These filters have been designed using a substrate with a dielectric constant of 10.8 and thickness of 1.27mm. The performance of filter structures, based on resonators has been evaluated using a full-wave based electromagnetic simulator Sonnet software package. Performance simulation results show that these filter structures are compact in addition to good frequency responses and narrow bands gained.
New microstrip bandpass filter designs based on stepped Impedance hilbert fractal resonators
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Mezaal, Yaqeen S.; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Ali, Jawad K.; 7688
The proposed microstrip bandpass filters in this paper have compact sizes and narrow band responses which are the requirements of modern wireless communication circuits. These filters are constructed from dual-edge coupled resonators; each resonator is based on applying step impedance resonator generator on first and second iteration of Hilbert fractal resonators on each segment of each iteration level. They have been designed for the industrial, scientific, and medical band (ISM) band applications at a centre frequency of 2.4 GHz using a substrate with a dielectric coefficient of 9.6 and thickness of 0.508 mm. The performance of bandpass filters has been analysed using a method of moments (MoM) based on software package, Microwave Office 2009, from Advanced Wave Research Inc., which is widely adopted in microwave research and industry. Simulation responses show that these filters possess good frequency response characteristics with second harmonics suppression. Moreover, these filters showed noticeable miniaturization which is an important feature for many communication applications. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
Non-Kolmogorov spectrum scintillation aspects of dark hollow and flat topped beams
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Cai, Yangjian; 7688
The scintillation aspects of dark hollow (DH) and fiat topped (FT) beams propagating in the turbulent atmosphere containing the non-Kolmogorov power spectrum are investigated. It is found that low scintillations will occur when the exponent of the power spectrum is just above the numeric value of 3. Initially, the rises in scintillations will take place as the exponent becomes larger, but later the scintillation reductions will be experienced as the exponent grows further, eventually minimum scintillations will be seen when the exponent has reached the value of 4. This will be the case, for scintillation variations against propagation distance, source size, wavelength, inner and outer scales of turbulence. Furthermore, it is found that at the small source sizes, DH beams will offer less scintillation than FT beams, while at the large source sizes, the reverse will be applicable. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Off-axis Gaussian Schell-model beam and partially coherent laser array beam in a turbulent atmosphere
(Elsevier, 2007) Cai, Yangjian; Lin, Qiang; Baykal, Yahya; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7812; 7688
The propagation of an off-axis Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral formula. Analytical formulae for the cross-spectral density and corresponding partially coherent complex curvature tensor of an off-axis GSM beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere are derived. Based on these formulae, the propagation properties of such kind of beam in a turbulent atmosphere are investigated in detail. Furthermore, the methods are extended to investigate the propagation properties of a partially coherent laser array beam in a turbulent atmosphere. The properties of an off-axis GSM beam and a partially coherent laser array beam in a turbulent atmosphere are closely related with the beam parameters and the structure constant of the turbulent atmosphere.
