Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS) members Özgür Gürbüz Ünlüyurt and İbrahim Tekin won the 2018 Elginkan Foundation Technology Award.
Özgür Gürbüz Ünlüyurt and İbrahim Tekin received their awards at the ceremony held on June 24, 2019 with their project "Full Duplex Radio Design, Implementation and Full Duplex Medium Access Control".
The novel dual-antenna full duplex radio developed in the project has up to 100 dB of self-interference cancellation, enabling wireless transmission at twice the speed of conventional radios for low and medium power levels, short and medium ranges, and providing up to 10 times higher throughput for wireless networks using the novel S-CW FD protocol.
