Modeling and characterization of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers
(Bilkent University, 2000)The Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (cMUT) is a device used for the generation and detection of ultrasonic sound waves. The device is constructed on a silicon substrate using a microfabrication process. ... -
Motion artifact reduction techniques in magnetic resonance imaging
(Bilkent University, 1991)It is shown that the expansion/shrinkage and rotational motions of the body cause phase and amplitude distortions and non-rectangular sampling over the A:-domain. If these distortions are not compensated then the reconstructed ... -
Multi-layer traffic engineering in optical networks under physical layer impairments
(Bilkent University, 2010)We study Traffic Engineering (TE) in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks and propose a multi-layer TE method. MPLS provides powerful TE features for IP networks and is ... -
Multichannel and phase based magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography
(Bilkent University, 2016-09)Imaging of electrical properties (EPs, i.e. conductivity and dielectric permittivity) of tissues give valuable information about the physiological and pathological conditions of tissues. Among the EP imaging modalities, ... -
Nanomechanical characterization of materials by enhanced higher harmonics of a tapping cantilever
(Bilkent University, 2005)In a tapping-mode atomic force microscope, the periodic interaction of the tip with the sample surface creates a tip-sample interaction force, and the pure sinusoidal motion of the cantilever is disturbed. Hence, the ... -
