MIMO SAR Ground Moving Target Indication via Compressed Sensing
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mashhadi, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a coherent imaging technique capable of generating fine resolution images from long term standoff ranges, either day or night. The use of multiple antennas for SAR is referred to as multichannel SAR or Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO) SAR and offers the additional abilities to perform height estimation of the ground, improve the resolution and suppress undesired interferences. Ground moving target indication (GMTI) is the one that we explored in this research. Since the pattern of moving target in imaging zone is sparse, we can use compressed sensing for reducing computational complexity caused by additional channels. In our thesis, after modelling the...

Abstract
The unique properties of modified Hermite pulses is utilized to develop a novel pulse technique for Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications. The proposed method increases the bandwidth of the pulse up to 10 GHz and overcomes the coexistence problem of UWB and vulnerable narrowband systems through suppressing narrowband interference. Consequently it improves the range of UWB communications by increasing the power, without disturbing the narrowband systems. The pulse technique is implemented in high frequency pulse generation circuits and could be fully integrated in BiCMOS process. The nulls of the frequency response are tuned to be located in a definite narrowband system with the number of the...
Semi-empirical modelling of hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils exposed to deionized and saline environments
, Article Journal of Contaminant Hydrology ; Volume 249 , 2022 ; 01697722 (ISSN) ; Sadeghi, H ; Sharif University of Technology

2022
Abstract
Clay liners are widely used as porous membrane barriers to control solute transport and to prevent the leakage of leachate both in horizontal and vertical flow scenarios, such as the isolated base and ramps of sanitary landfills. Despite the primary importance of saturated hydraulic conductivity in a reliable simulation of fluid flow through clay barriers, there is no model to predict hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils permeated with saline aqueous solutions because most of the current models were developed for pure water. Therefore, the main motivation behind this study is to derive semi-empirical models for simulating the hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils in the presence of...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abedian, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Dynamic properties such as the natural frequency of a structure have a significant role in the design process. The importance of this consideration is because of resonance. In this case, the amplitude of the vibration is magnified to levels that may lead to a catastrophic event. While the usual design process depends on the collected experiences and statistical data, a developing trend is to implement smart technologies to develop smart structures that are capable of self-monitoring, diagnostics and repair. Smart material components such as shape memory alloys (SMAs) and piezoelectric ceramics are increasingly being used by vibration control practitioners. Shape memory alloys are applied as...

Coordinated Tuning of Power System Stabilizer in Iran Power Grid for Damping Local and InterArea Oscilation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Parniani, Mostafa (Supervisor)
Abstract
Power systems aredynamic and complex systems that are always subject to continuous changes and disturbance. Power system stability is a requirement for its satisfactory utilization. High speed Automatic voltage controllers with high gain tend to deteriorate both the electromechanical oscillation damping and small signal stability margin. Power system stabilizer (PSS) is a complementary controller that uses exciter voltage reference modulation to improve the electromechanical oscillation damping and stability margin. Optimal operation of PSS requires appropriate tuning according to the grid and power plant characteristics. In a largepower grid, absence or improper tuning of PSSs may cause one...

Abstract
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are so popular in aerial imaging because of their high resolution. Ground moving target indication (GMTI) is one of the most challenging problems in this field. The use of multiple antennas in transmit and receive is an innovative idea that can overcome the limitations of SAR systems. In this paper, after modelling the received signal and focusing it, we propose an algorithm for GMTI with the use of compressed sensing. The proposed algorithm has low complexity compared to similar algorithms. Simulation results show that this approach is accurate in estimation of positions and velocities of moving targets. © 2018 IEEE
An Intelligent Triangular Pattern Recognition in Stock Price Charts
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fazli, Mohammad Amin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Stock price patterns are a technical analysis approach to forecast future trends with tremendous practical benefits. However, the current algorithms solely rely on machine learning techniques and deep neural networks which could be a problem in countries where data sets such as these are not available. We propose an algorithm based on geometry and mathematics for this problem, leading to an O(n^3logn + n^2k) complexity, where k is the number of triangular patterns

Abstract
Physical separation methods, especially membrane technology, can be a good substitute for biological wastewater treatment, due to its simple constructions and operations. There are many papers and patents in this field. Membranes need to be cleaned periodically to be able to operate economically, and need to be replaced after a while. Several factors can influence the membrane cleaning procedure, including pressure of backwash, acid and base concentration, duration of forward washing, and duration of acid-base backwashing. In this study the effect of these parameters was investigated to find an optimum condition which could result in a good polyethersulphone (PES) membrane cleaning with less...

Abstract
Pentamode metamaterials are a type of extremal designer metamaterials, which are able to demonstrate extremely high rigidity in one direction and extremely high compliance in other directions. Pentamodes can, therefore, be considered as building blocks of exotic materials with any arbitrarily selected thermodynamically admissible elasticity tensor. The pentamode lattices can then be envisioned to be combined to construct intermediate extremal materials, such as quadramodes, trimodes, and bimodes. In this study, we constructed several primary types of anisotropic pentamode lattices (with midpoint positioning of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 42% of the main unit cell diagonal) and then...
Design and Implementation of a Ultra-Wideband Pulse Interference Immune Communications
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fotowat-Ahmady, Ali (Supervisor) ; Medi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the serious challenges in Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems, especially Impulse radio (IR) systems, is the IEEE 802.11a in the middle of the UWB band (In band Interferer) which affects the system performance severely. Matched filter concept shapes the output noise based on its spectrum. For solving the mutual interference between UWB and narrow-band (NB) systems, the unique properties of modified Hermite pulses is utilized to develop a pulse for UWB communications. Matched filter is implemented by designing this pulse featuring notches that can be tuned to a certain frequency. Therefore, NB interferer can be nulled out passing through the matched filter. 0.18 µm CMOS technology has been...

Abstract
As a primary step of establishment of an extensive air shower array consisting 20 scintillation detectors we optimized an individual detector. Square shaped scintillators are placed under a metal pyramid Light Enclosure with a photomultiplier tube (PMT) at the vertex of it. A set of experiments are performed to optimize the height of light enclosures by comparing 4 different heights 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 m. These experiments are supported by a Monte Carlo simulation of detection process. In this article, by considering experimental and simulation results we concluded that 20 cm is an optimum height for light enclosures

Abstract
This paper introduces a straightforward technique for parameters estimation of the RC equivalent circuit model of a battery cell with the main aim of its implementation in real-time digital simulator frameworks. The RC model parameters are precisely estimated by the analysis of the battery cell voltage curve during relaxation time using the pulse current test. In this regard, Least-squares fitting is used to mitigate the error of the battery cell voltage response, which leads to a precise estimation of the RC model parameters as a function of the state-of-charge. Exponential and Gaussian functions are utilized to define the resistances and the capacitances in the RC model respectively based...
