1) A
Meteorological Radar System for Zonal Precipitation Measurements:
This project was sponsored
by Turkish Scientific and Technological Foundation (TÜBİTAK). It aimed the measurement
of precipitation by an integrated radar and computer system. Y. Tanık
participated in the project as the member responsible for the design and
implementation of the interface unit between the radar and the computer. The
unit performed range gate integration and digitization of the output ready to
be processed by a computer. (1978-1981).
2)
Design and Prototype Implementation of an LPC10 Vocoder:
The project was contracted
by Military Electronics Industries Company (ASELSAN).
An LPC10 vocoder satisfying the relevant NATO Stanag was designed and
implemented. The system was designed based on Z80 and TMS32010 processors. Dr.
Tanık worked as the project director and primary designer. (1982-1986).
Prof. Tanık has worked as a
consultant in the Microwave & System Technologies (MST) division in ASELSAN .
A group of academic staff from METU which he also belongs to, has worked on
several projects in
the department. He has contributed especially to electronic warfare system
design, development of numerous signal processing algorithms and direction
finding systems. (1984-2000).
4)
Modification of an Analog Radio Link System into Digital:
The project was contracted
by TELETAŞ (at present, a division of ALCATEL), one of the leading companies in
telecommunication sector in Turkey, to TÜBİTAK-TAEGAE (at present, BİLTEN). The
purpose was to replace baseband sections of the analog radios, which were
produced under the license of ITT, by digital communication units to achieve
digital transmission at 34 Mbps. Dr. Tanık worked as the primary designer of
the system. He also supervised the work on the design of synchronizers, equalizers
and detectors of the 4-MSK signals. (1985-1987).
5) ECCM
Unit for Frequency Hopping Transceivers:
This project was contracted
by ASELSAN. It aimed the design and
implementation of a prototype unit to be used in conjunction with the frequency
hopping VHF transceivers. Dr. Tanık worked as the project director and the
primary designer. He also supervised the design of the synchronization units
(1987-1988).
6)
Carrier and Symbol Synchronization for HF Digital Modems:
This project was supported
by the EPP group of AGARD/NATO. Dr. Tanık was the director of the project. The
main goal of the project was to compare several synchronization algorithms to
be used in modems operating in HF (fading, dispersive) channels. For this
purpose a flexible computer simulation program was developed and it was used
for performance evaluations (1989-1992).
7)
Evolution of Land Mobile Radio (Including Personal) Communications (COST231):
This was an international
research project with 14 European countries as participants. The project took
place as a part of the COST program (Cooperation in the Fields of Science and
Technology in Europe) in 1989. The aim of the project was to make research
towards developing the standards for third generation mobile systems to be used
primarily in Europe. The scope of the project was very broad including studies
concerning propagation measurements and modeling, alternative transmission
techniques, integrated data and voice communication, etc. Turkey participated
in the project by signing the Memorandum of Understanding in 1990.
A team from METU worked in
the project particularly dealing with the CDMA systems and channel
characterization. Prof. Tanık was the director of the Turkish Team and a member
of the COST231 Management Committee. (1990-1996)
8) A
Prototype Millimetric Wave ESM/ECM System Design:
This project was sponsored
by the Turkish Government. It aimed the design and implementation of a
prototype millimetric wave ESM/ECM system. Prof. Tanık was responsible for the
design of the pulse processing units and waveform generators (1990-1994).
9)
Consultancy for the Development of a GSM Transceiver:
Prof. Tanık worked as a
consultant to a group of engineers in ASELSAN
Communication Division, who worked towards developing a GSM transceiver.
Consultancy was provided on problems such as GMSK waveform synthesis, receiver
synchronization, channel identification, ML detection, etc. (1993-1994).
10)
Participation in the Design of Spread Spectrum System Units for a Packet Radio
System:
The project was contracted
by ASELSAN
Communications Division. It involved participating in the design of spread spectrum receiver units to be
used in a tactical TDMA packet radio system. The work was carried by a group
directed by Prof. Tanık in TÜBİTAK-BİLTEN institute (1996-1997).
11)
Consultancy in the Design of an Integrated Digital Radio System:
The project was contracted
by ASELSAN Communications Division. It
involved participation in the design work of a voice/data radio
communication system for PMR ( Private Mobile Radio )
use. The work was carried by a group directed by Prof. Tanık in TÜBİTAK-BİLTEN
institute (1998).
12)
Analysis and Development of Algorithms for Antenna Nulling Systems for a TDMA
Packet Radio System:
The project was supported
by ASELSAN
Communications Division. It aimed the performance analysis and development
of algorithms for antenna nulling systems for interference cancellation. The
work was carried out by a group directed by Prof. Tanık, in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering Department, METU (1998-2001).
13) Consultancy
for the Development of an
Air Defense Radar:
Prof. Tanık worked together
with a group of faculty members and engineers from ASELSAN , as the coordinator of signal
processing studies group, for designing an air defense radar prototype.
(2003-2007).
This work was provided to ASELSAN
Communications Division to carry out feasibility studies for a new wide
band software defined radio, covering modulation, coding, networking aspects
etc. Prof. Tanık acted as the coordinator of a group of faculty members and as
a researcher (2007-2009).
15) Waveform Design for Narrow Band Command
Control Communication System:
The project was supported
by ASELSAN
Communications Division. It aimed a communication system design including
modulation, spectrum analysis, channel characterization, synchronization, equalization, coding, and networking aspects. The work was
carried out by a group directed by Prof. Tanık, in Electrical and Electronics
Engineering Department, METU (2009-2011).
