Acknowledgements
I would like to offer my respect and sincere appreciation to my advisor Professor
Mahta Moghaddam for her support, guidance and patience during my radar
project. Specifically, I would like to thank her for giving me the opportunity to
conduct my research in MiXIL Lab and keeping her faith in me during the course
of project. She enlightened my way with her insight on the subject and she has
always been a role model and a wise mentor to me more than an advisor.
Special thanks to MiXIL Lab colleagues Ruzbeh Akbar, Xueyang Duan, Agnelo
Silva, Pratik Shah, Richard Chen, Mariko Burgin, Guanbo Chen, Daniel Clewley,
Uday Khankhoje, John Stang, Mark Haynes, Majid Albahkali, Jane Whitcomb,
Alireza Tabatabaeenejad and Mariko Burgin for your company, help and
encouragement. I learned many new things from you and discussing ideas and
hearing your experiences contributed a lot in my academic growth. Your profound
wisdom has always been an invaluable resource of information all along my
studies in the lab.
I would like to express my gratitude to M. Batuhan Gundogdu, Bahri Maras,
Deniz Kumlu, Mehmet Savran, Ihsan Burak Tolga, Alptekin Yilmazer, Ahmet
Asena, Cansu Pazarbasioglu, Jay Hsueh, Benjamin Ries, Sara Lanier, Cathy Liu,
Maria Minin, Sue Caroll, Lance Parr, Cathy Parr and Camillia Lee for their
sincere friendship, hospitality, support and making my staying enjoyable in US
during my education. I vividly recall every moment we spent and had fun together
and these memories will last forever just as our precious friendship.

I am very thankful to Emine Bozyurt and Tugce Tuncay for their caring and
hospitality. I believe families are made in the heart and you always made me feel
the warmth of home while being far away from my homeland as you have been
my second family here in Los Angeles.
I further would like to thank to my brothers in arms in Turkish Navy and Turkish
Navy for giving me the opportunity to study at University of Southern California
and supporting me financially for my education. I am very proud of serving as a
Naval Officer.
From the bottom of my heart, I say a big “THANK YOU” to my great family. I
made it to this stage and I couldn’t have done it without you.
