This thesis proposes a generalized estimation framework for acoustic based shooter localization system relying on time of arrival (ToA) and direction of arrival (DoA) of gunshot acoustic events, namely muzzle blast and shockwave. This framework is valid in case both acoustic events are present or one of them is missing. Furthermore, it provides a solution not only for a single shooter but also for simultaneous multiple shooters. As regards to details, this thesis proposes a DoA estimation method based on beamforming for simultaneous multi shooter detection in reverberant environment. A system calibration method for adjusting microphone positions in the microphone array and estimating local speed of sound to enhance shooter localization accuracy is also proposed in this thesis. Finally, this thesis proposes an architecture and a hardware design for the implementation of this acoustic based shooter localization system.

HYBRID BEAMFORMING WITH TWO BIT RF PHASE SHIFTERS IN SINGLE GROUP MULTICASTING
Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-03-25)
In this paper, an efficient hybrid beamforming architecture combining analog and digital beamforming is proposed to reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains. It provides a good compromise between the higher degree of freedom of digital beamforming and hardware cost and complexity. In this hybrid system, two bit RF phase shifters are used as analog beamformers due to the fact that this enables the conversion of the combinatorial optimization problem to a continuous programming formulation. The overal...
Shooter Localization System Calibration and Implementation
Akman, Caglar; Sonmez, Tolga; Ozugur, Ozgur; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-19)
This paper proposes a mathematical system model and a related novel system calibration method for acoustic based shooter detection system with multi microphone array which utilizes muzzle blast and shockwave due to bullet physics. System calibration method estimates system parameters namely, sound speed, bullet speed, and microphone array position from a single shot to improve shooter localization accuracy. In this paper the overall system architecture and system implementation of acoustic sensor node for d...
Multi-DSP and -FPGA-Based Fully Digital Control System for Cascaded Multilevel Converters Used in FACTS Applications
Atalik, Tevhid; Deniz, Mustafa; Koc, Erkan; Gercek, Cem Ozgur; Gultekin, Burhan; Ermiş, Muammer; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK (2012-08-01)
In this paper, a fully digital controller based on multiple digital signal processor (DSP) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) boards has been proposed for parallel-operated cascaded multilevel converters (CMC) used in flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) applications. The proposed system is composed of a DSP-based master controller in combination with a multiple number of slave DSP boards, FPGA boards, microcontrollers, a programmable logic controller (PLC), an industrial computer, and their periph...
Multiple target localization & data association for frequency-only widely separated MIMO radar
Kalkan, Yilmaz; Baykal, Buyurman (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-01)
The multiple target localization using only Doppler frequencies in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar is a problem of great interest. The Doppler frequencies include all relevant information about the location, velocity and direction of the targets. Hence, these frequencies can be used efficiently for data association and target localization. The MIMO configuration and the frequency diversity of the system enable us to easily determine the number of moving targets using only the Doppler frequencies...
Detailed Noise Analysis of Current-to-Frequency Converters for Precision Analog Accelerometers
Nuzumlali, Omer Lutfi (2016-04-14)
This paper presents a detailed noise analysis of current-to-frequency converters (CFC) for current output precision analog accelerometers. In the proposed method, time domain approach is used instead of frequency domain approach and the standard deviation of the velocity error after a fixed period of time is calculated. The noise analysis demonstrates that the error caused by voltage noises does not increase with time. However, the standard deviation of the error due to the feedback current noise increases ...
