Accurate Prediction Of Crosstalk For Rc Interconnects, Selahatti̇n Sayil, Merlyn Rudrapati
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This work proposes an accurate crosstalk noise estimation method in the presence of multiple RC lines for use in design automation tools. The method correctly models the loading effects of non switching aggressors and aggressor tree branches using resistive shielding effect and realistic exponential input waveform. Noise peak and width expressions derived show very good results in comparison to HSPICE results. Results show that average error for noise peak is 4.1% and for the width is 6.8% while allowing for very fast analysis.

In combination with the Method of Moments, it can be used for the calculation of the per-unit length transmission line parameters of multi-conductor interconnections, or to directly determine the internal impedance of conductors. This paper presents a new and fast calculation method for the DtN boundary operator in the important case of rectangular structures, based on the superposition of parallel-plate waveguide modes. Especially for its non-differential form, some numerical issues need to be addressed. It is further explained how the DtN operator can be determined for …
Weak Penetration And Radiation Through Apertures In Conducting Bodies Of Revolution, Korkut Yeği̇n
Weak Penetration And Radiation Through Apertures In Conducting Bodies Of Revolution, Korkut Yeği̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The simplest way to solve for penetration through small apertures in conducting surfaces is to treat the body as a scatterer and determine the interior field as the sum of the incident field and the scattered field contributed by the current induced on the surface of the body. However, it is well known that, if the aperture is very small or if the penetrated field is very weak this method yields very inaccurate results, which, in turn, prohibits proper design of electronic systems, especially for electromagnetic compatibility and interference. Previously, alternative integral equations formulations were proposed to remedy this problem …

Two Dimensional Ebg Structures For Multiband Noise Mitigation, Antonio Orlandi, Antonio Ciccomancini
Two Dimensional Ebg Structures For Multiband Noise Mitigation, Antonio Orlandi, Antonio Ciccomancini
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper a two dimensional (2D) electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) structure is proposed for multi band noise mitigation in PWR/GND plane pairs. Excellent noise suppression (-60 dB) is achieved in multiple bands within the range 0--8 GHz with a low start frequency. Because of the 2D EBG, no additional metal layer is required. Signal Integrity analysis is also studied by modelling a microstrip to stripline transition (both single ended and differential) and by evaluating insertion loss, TDR as well as eye diagram.

Post-Miocene Deformation In The South Of The Galatean Volcanic Province, Nw Of Central Anatolia (Turkey), Bora Rojay, A. Karaca
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Central Anatolia, located on the immense Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, has a complicated neotectonic evolution, and NE-SW-trending Neogene horsts-graben systems that rejuvenate pre-existing palaeostructures are among the most important structures which help us understand the tectonic evolution of Central Anatolia. Post-Miocene deformational studies were carried out in Miocene-Quaternary sequences situated at the southeastern margin of the Galatean Volcanic Province (NW of Central Anatolia, Turkey) in order to understand the deformational history of Central Anatolia. The structural analyses were based on bedding attitude data and fault plane slip data. Fold analysis in Miocene units gave an asymmetrical fold axis trending 046ºN. Although …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Demirci migmatitic quartzofeldspathic gneisses of the Sünnice Massif, exposed in the İstanbul Zone north of Bolu, have compositions that show them to be paragneisses, associated with subordinate para-amphibolites. They consist principally of metamorphosed, rather calcareous greywackes, with sediment derived from a continental arc source. They occur in the para-autochthon below a nappe pile (Çele meta-ophiolite), deformed and subjected to amphibolite facies metamorphism before the emplacement of late Neoproterozoic metavolcanic rocks later subjected to greenschist-facies metamorphism (Yellice volcanics). As they are overlain in sequence by nappes comprising sections of the Çele meta-ophiolite with ocean floor basalt and island arc tholeiite …

Timing Of The Quaternary Elazığ Volcanism, Eastern Turkey, And Its Significance For Constraining Landscape Evolution And Surface Uplift, Ali̇ Seyrek, Rob Westaway, Malcolm Pringle, Sema Yurtmen, Tuncer Demi̇r, George Rowbotham
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The eastern part of the Anatolian plateau in eastern Turkey has experienced dramatic landscape evolution in the Late Cenozoic, surface uplift having been associated with the disruption of former lake basins and the development of the modern high-relief landscape, incised by the upper reaches of the River Euphrates and its major tributary, the Murat. Overall, the altitude of the plateau decreases gradually westward, and it has been assumed that uplift on any given timescale has varied regionally in a similar manner. However, using the Ar-Ar method, we have dated an episode of basaltic volcanism around the city of Elazığ to …
