A pattern switchable micromachined antenna operating at 26 GHz is proposed. The antenna consists of a microstrip circular patch and a ring antenna placed concentrically. The antenna can switch between conical and broadside radiation patterns by exciting TM21 mode of the ring and TM11 mode of the circular patch, respectively. The ring is excited by two ports and the patch is excited parasitically. Two different techniques are proposed to switch between these patterns. In the first approach in phase and out of phase feeding of the antenna is employed whereas in the second approach both ports are fed in phase and the beam control is achieved by inserting two slots to the ring. The absence or presence of the slot can be controlled by placing a switch at the center of each slot. Hence, switches control pattern selection in this configuration.

Beam Switching Reflectarray Monolithically Integrated With RF MEMS Switches Bayraktar, Omer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2012-02-01) A reflectarray antenna monolithically integrated with 90 RF MEMS switches has been designed and fabricated to achieve switching of the main beam. Aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) elements are used to form a 10 x 10 element reconfigurable reflectarray antenna operating at 26.5 GHz. The change in the progressive phase shift between the elements is obtained by adjusting the length of the open ended transmission lines in the elements with the RF MEMS switches. The reconfigurable reflectarray is...
Frequency tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS technology Erdıl, Emre; Topallı, Kagan; Unlu, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2007-04-01) A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is presented that is monolithically integrated with RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitors for tuning the resonant frequency. Reconfigurability of the operating frequency of the microstrip patch antenna is achieved by loading it with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) stub on which variable MEMS capacitors are placed periodically. MEMS capacitors are implemented with surface micromachining technology, where a 1-mu m thick aluminum structural layer is plac...
Dual-polarised T/R antenna system suitable for FMCW altimeter radar applications Secmen, M.; Demir, S.; Hizal, A. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2006-10-01) The authors propose a dual-polarised T/R antenna system that utilises a 3 dB 90 degrees hybrid coupler and a dual-polarised antenna. From the practical point of view the T/R isolation performance of this system can be made better than that of systems using circulators. There is no power loss both in transmit and receive modes compared to 6 dB total loss in a conventional system using a hybrid coupler and a single polarised antenna. To validate the system performance, a sample structure is realised for a C b...
RF MEMS Based Millimeter Wave Phased Array for Short Range Communication Bayraktar, Omer; Kobal, Enis; Sevinç, Yusuf; Cetintepe, Cagri; Comart, Ilker; Demirel, Kaan; Topalli, Ebru Sagiroglu; Akın, Tayfun; Demir, Şimşek; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-05-17) This paper presents millimeter wave phased array antenna for short range communication applications at 35 GHz. The antenna array is formed by 1 x 16 microstrip antipodal tapered slot antennas each connected to RF MEMS phase shifters for beam steering. The simulation and measurement results of the single antenna element are presented and the phase shifter structure to be used in the array is described in the paper. RF MEMS phase shifters are fabricated using an in-house surface micromachining process.
A Pattern Reconfigurable Compact Antenna Structure Based on Shorted Microstrip Patches Çelik, Feza Turgay; Alatan, Lale; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2022-01-01) A compact pattern reconfigurable antenna structure is proposed. The proposed antenna structure is composed of two shorted quarter-wave microstrip patch antennas placed side by side to share a common shorting plane. Therefore, the total length of the antenna is a half wavelength. Pattern reconfiguration is achieved by exciting two antennas with different phases and consequently steering the main beam. With such a compact antenna, beam steering up to 350 is demonstrated.
