    Microstrip Stub Filter Design with Enhanced Performance Inspired by SIW Structures Operating at 1.93 GHz GSMBand

    This paper reports a microstrip stub filter design operating at 1.93 GHz GSM band with enhanced performance inspired by SIW structures. In the designed filter additional vias are placed around the microstrip lines to enhance the encasing of the electromagnetic fields while propagating through the filter to develop the filter performance. The filter was examined with electromagnetic simulations for various numbers of vias and different via to microstrip line distances. Results show that the maximum transmission coefficient (S21 parameter) magnitude value reached in the pass band of the filter increases with the number of the vias and as the vias get closer to the lines. On the other hand, when the via number increases and the space between them and the lines narrows, the frequency at which the maximum S21 value is attained shifts to lower frequencies. The designed filters were manufactured, too. Results obtained in the measurements agree well with the simulation results. Additionally, a receiver system operating at 1.93 GHz band was constructed. System experiments were carried out with the constructed prototype for the manufactured filters. Results show that a greater signal level in the filter pass band is achieved and unwanted signals outside the filter pass band are suppressed more in the system where the filter with vias is used instead of the filter without any additional via. The findings indicate that the designed filters inspired by SIW structures are promising for applications requiring high signal quality.

    Fluctuations in the European Housing Market: Forecasting the House Price Index Change with Time-Series Models
    (Gazi Univ, 2026-03-15) Soylemez, Ismet; Nalici, Mehmet Eren; Unlu, Ramazan
    This study presents a comparative analysis of a time series models for forecasting changes in the Housing Price Index (HPI) in 27 European countries. Accurate HPI forecasting is essential for the development of effective policies and investment strategies. The study uses quarterly data from Q4 2013 to Q3 2024. Methodologically, the stationarity of the data is tested using the Dickey-Fuller test and differencing is applied to non-stationary series. The ARIMA, Holt Linear Trend, Additive Damped Trend and Exponential Smoothing models are evaluated based on the lowest mean squared error (MSE) value for each country. The findings confirmed the heterogeneous structure of the European housing market, showing that no single model is suitable for all countries. The ARIMA model provided the most accurate results for nine countries, while the Holt Linear Trend and Additive Damped Trend models performed best in seven countries each. Forecasts for the period 2025-2026 are generated based on these results. This study highlights the importance of adopting country-specific and adaptable forecasting approaches to accommodate the varying dynamics of European housing markets.
