EYYUBOĞLU Co-Supervisor: Prof. Jawad K. ALI December 2014, 132 pages In this dissertation, new microstrip bandpass and bandstop filters based on fractal resonators have been presented in an attempt to construct filter designs with smaller size for almost modern wireless applications. The proposed bandpass filter structures have been generated based on Moore, Hilbert, Hilbert-zz and Sierpinski fractal geometries while the proposed bandstop filter is based on Hilbert Fractal resonators. The space-filling property and the self-similarity of the configurations related to the consecutive iteration levels of these fractal geometries have been found to create compact filter structures with accepted performance results. Narrowband compact Moore fractal filters from 2nd and 3rd iteration levels have been designed for 2.4 GHz band application using a relative dielectric constant of 10.8 and dielectric thickness of 1.27 mm with good performance results in their quasi elliptic responses. For 3rd iteration Moore bandpass filter, size reduction percentage iv as compared with 2nd iteration one resonating at the same frequency and using the same substrate material for 3rd iteration structure is 43% .The simulated and measured results are well-matched to each other . Stepped impedance Hilbert microstrip bandpass filters have designed with characteristics of compacted sizes and narrow band responses which are the requisites of recent wireless communication systems. These filters are built from two edge coupled resonators, each resonator has been achieved by applying step impedance resonator generator on 1st and 2nd iterations of Hilbert fractal resonators on each segment for each fractal iteration . They have been proposed for the ISM band applications at center frequency of 2.4 GHz using a substrate with a dielectric coefficient of 9.6 and thickness of 0.508 mm. Results show that these filters own satisfactory output frequency responses. Size reduction percentage as compared with 1st iteration stepped impedance Hilbert bandpass filter operating at similar frequency and using similar substrate material for 2nd iteration structure is 63.34% . New fractal design scheme based on Hilbert-zz curve has been used to produce compact microstrip bandpass filter .This fractal filter has been realized using two coupled resonators using additional coupling stubs .The material substrate has relative dielectric constant of 9 and thickness of 1.27 mm. Simulation graphs demonstrate that these filters possess good transmission and return loss features for the resultant frequency responses. It should be mentioned that Moore, stepped impedance Hilbert resonator and Hilbert- zz bandpass filters exhibit higher harmonics eliminations in out of passband regions of their frequency responses which are much desired properties in modern wireless communications. Miniaturized microstrip bandpass filters have been designed using Sierpinski fractal curves from 0th to 3rd iteration levels. The intended filter designs have been performed using dual-mode square slotted microstrip resonator in accordance with adopted fractal iterations. These microstrip bandpass filters have less bandwidth and sharper transmission responses than those of the single mode resonator and traditional square patch filter. Filter structures generating from the successive v iterations of the applied fractal geometries exhibit a noticeably low insertion loss, and sharper response of about 1% fractional bandwidth as compared with the conventional microstrip square patch filter of 3% fractional bandwidth constructed at the same resonant frequency of 5.33 GHz and using substrate material of dielectric coefficient of 10.8 and thickness of 1.27 mm. A new dual-band microstrip bandpass filter has been designed using Peano fractal geometry at resonant frequencies of 2.25 GHz and 4.825 GHz using a substrate of a relative dielectric constant of 10.8 and thickness of 1.27 mm. The topology of this filter consists of dual edge coupled resonators constructed from 1st iteration of Peano fractal geometry. Simulated responses show that this filter has well frequency responses as well as dual bands gained which are highly requested in current communication systems. On the other hand, new designs of Wide Bandpass Filter (WBPF) and Narrow Bandstop Filter (NBSF) based on Hilbert fractal resonators have been investigated using Sonnet simulator. The frequency responses properties of the proposed filters have been studied to observe the corresponding broad bandpass and narrow bandstop behaviours at the frequency around 2GHz.Moreover, the phase dispersion and surface current density details about proposed filters have been presented and analyzed. The proposed fractal filters have been found to possess compact sizes with flexible designs in addition to good frequency responses. The modeling, simulation and performance evaluation have been performed using the method of moment (MoM) package Microwave Office 2009 from Advanced Wave Research (AWR) and a full-wave based electromagnetic simulator Sonnet software package which are very commonly used in electronics industry and research institutions.

Tamilnadu, India. *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Space-filling Curves have been extensively used as a mapping from the multi-dimensional space into the one-dimensional space. Space filling curve represent one of the oldest areas of fractal geometry. Mapping the multi-dimensional space into one-dimensional domain plays an important role in every application that involves multidimensional data. We describe the notion of space filling curves and describe some of the popularly used curves. There are numerous kinds of space filling curves. The difference between such curves is in their way of mapping to the one dimensional space. Selecting the appropriate curve for any application requires knowledge of the mapping scheme provided by each space filling curve. Space filling curves are the basis for scheduling has numerous advantages like scalability in terms of the number of scheduling parameters, ease of code development and maintenance. The present paper report on various space filling curves, classifications, and its applications. It elaborates the space filling curves and their applicability in scheduling, especially in transaction.

  • Fractal-Based Magnetic Resonance Imaging Coils for 3T Xenon Imaging Fractal-Based Magnetic Resonance Imaging Coils for 3T Xenon Imaging
    Fractal-based magnetic resonance imaging coils for 3T Xenon imaging Fractal-based magnetic resonance imaging coils for 3T Xenon imaging By Jimmy Nguyen A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in thePartial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Applied Science McMaster University © Copyright by Jimmy Nguyen 10 July 2020 McMaster University Master of Applied Science (2020) Hamilton, Ontario (Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering) TITLE: Fractal-based magnetic resonance imaging coils for 3T Xenon imaging AUTHOR: Jimmy Nguyen, B.Eng., (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Michael D. Noseworthy NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 77 ii Abstract Traditional 1H lung imaging using MRI faces numerous challenges and difficulties due to low proton density and air-tissue susceptibility artifacts. New imaging techniques using inhaled xenon gas can overcome these challenges at the cost of lower signal to noise ratio. The signal to noise ratio determines reconstructed image quality andis an essential parameter in ensuring reliable results in MR imaging. The traditional RF surface coils used in MR imaging exhibit an inhomogeneous field, leading to reduced image quality. For the last few decades, fractal-shaped antennas have been used to optimize the performance of antennas for radiofrequency systems. Although widely used in radiofrequency identification systems, mobile phones, and other applications, fractal designs have yet to be fully researched in the MRI application space. The use of fractal geometries for RF coils may prove to be fruitful and thus prompts an investiga- tion as the main goal of this thesis. Preliminary simulation results and experimental validation results show that RF coils created using the Gosper and pentaflake offer improved signal to noise ratio and exhibit a more homogeneous field than that ofa traditional circular surface coil.

    Page 1 Chapter 1— Introduction 1.1— Introduction The twin subjects of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics have been behind an enormous change in the way scientists and engineers perceive, and subsequently model, the world in which we live. Chemists, biologists, physicists, physiologists, geologists, economists, and engineers (mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, aeronautical etc) have all used methods developed in both fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics to explain a multitude of diverse physical phenomena: from trees to turbulence, cities to cracks, music to moon craters, measles epidemics, and much more. Many of the ideas within fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics have been in existence for a long time, however, it took the arrival of the computer, with its capacity to accurately and quickly carry out large repetitive calculations, to provide the tool necessary for the in-depth exploration of these subject areas. In recent years, the explosion of interest in fractals and chaos has essentially ridden on the back of advances in computer development. The objective of this book is to provide an elementary introduction to both fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics. The book is split into approximately two halves: the first—chapters 2–4—deals with fractal geometry and its applications, while the second—chapters 5–7—deals with chaotic dynamics. Many of the methods developed in the first half of the book, where we cover fractal geometry, will be used in the characterization (and comprehension) of the chaotic dynamical systems encountered in the second half of the book. In the rest of this chapter brief introductions to fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics are given, providing an insight to the topics covered in subsequent chapters of the book.

  • Boosted Fractal Integral Paths for Object Detection
    Boosted Fractal Integral Paths for Object Detection Arne Ehlers, Florian Baumann, Bodo Rosenhahn Institut fur¨ Informationsverarbeitung (TNT) Leibniz Universitat¨ Hannover, Germany flast [email protected] Abstract. In boosting-based object detectors, weak classifiers are often build on Haar-like features using conventional integral images. That approach leads to the utilization of simple rectangle-shaped structures which are only partial suitable for curved-shaped structures, as present in natural object classes such as faces. In this paper, we propose a new class of fractal features based on space-filling curves, a special type of fractals also known as Peano curves. Our method incor- porates the new feature class by computing integral images along these curves. Therefore space-filling curves offer our proposed features to describe a wider variety of shapes including self-similar structures. By introducing two subtypes of fractal features, three-point and four-point features, we get a richer represen- tation of curved and topology separated but correlated structures. We compare AdaBoost using conventional Haar-like features and our proposed fractal feature class in several experiments on the well-known MIT+CMU upright face test set and a microscopy cell test set. 1 Introduction Most object detection frameworks inspired by Viola and Jones [1] are based on simple Haar-like features using integral-images. Haar-like features are easy and fast in compu- tation, but represent only rectangular structures. Such detection frameworks often apply very large sets of low-resolution training images to learn the classifiers. These training sets mostly contain low-resolution object details which are often corrupted with com- pression artefacts.

  • Space-Filling Curves
    Chapter 2 Space-Filling Curves Summary. We begin with an example of a space-filling curve and demon- strate how it can be used to find a short tour through a set of points. Next we give a general introduction to space-filling curves and discuss properties of them. We then consider the space-filling curve heuristic for the traveling salesperson problem and show how a corresponding order of the points can be computed fast, in particular in a probabilistic setting. Finally, we consider a discrete version of space-filling curves and present experimental results on discrete space-filling curves optimized for special tasks. 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Example: Heuristic for Traveling Salesperson Problem A space-filling curve maps a 1-dimensional space onto a higher-dimensional space, e.g., the unit interval onto the unit square. We will use space-filling curves in the form of the space-filling curve heuristic for the NP-hard Euclidean traveling salesperson problem [67]. The Euclidean traveling salesperson problem is the problem of finding the shortest closed tour through a set of points. Figure 2.1 shows a point set, tours through the point set constructed using the space-filling curve heuristic with two different space-filling curves, and the shortest tour through the point set. We demonstrate the space-filling curve heuristic for this task by the example of the two-dimensional Hilbert curve [78]. Consider the following construction (a) Point set (b) Heuristic using (c) Heuristic using (d) Shortest tour Moore curve Sierpi´nskicurve Figure 2.1: Short tours through a point set.
