Countermeasure methods for high power microwave pulses /
Keskin, Muharrem; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, a limiter structure is investigated to decrease the effects of High Power Microwave (HPM) pulses coupled from front-door by using vanadium dioxide (VO2). To prove that vanadium dioxide can be used as an RF limiter, this structure is examined, realized and measured. Firstly, susceptibility of LNA to HPM pulses is investigated by an experimental setup to determine the destruction threshold levels of LNA technology for direct injection of HPM pulses. Based on these threshold levels, diode limit...

Kaluza-klein reduction of higher curvature gravity models
Kuyrukcu, Halil; Başkal, Sibel; Department of Physics (2010)
The standard Kaluza-Klein theory is reviewed and its basic equations are rewritten in an anholonomic basis. A five dimensional Yang-Mills type quadratic and cubic curvature gravity model is introduced. By employing the Palatini variational principle, the field equations and the stress-energy tensors of these models are presented. Unification of gravity with electromagnetism is achieved through the Kaluza-Klein reduction mechanism. Reduced curvature invariants,field equations and stress-energy tensors in fou...
Deep-trench RIE optimization for high performance MEMS microsensors
Aydemir, Akın; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2007)
This thesis presents the optimization of deep reactive ion etching process (DRIE) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors with high aspect ratio structures. Two optimization processes have been performed to achieve 20 μm depth for 1 μm opening for a dissolved wafer process (DWP) and to achieve 100 μm depth for 1 μm opening for silicon-on-glass (SOG) process. A number of parameters affecting the etch rate and profile angle are investigated, including...
Design and realization of high power low loss combiners
Suna, Gonca; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In recent high power microwave systems, power generation is commonly achieved by combining a bunch of transistor amplifier. Regarding the efficiency of power combining operation, insertion loss of the combiner is a critical parameter. In this thesis, several low loss power combiners, namely, microstrip Wilkinson combiner in 6-18 GHz frequency range, suspended stripline branchline couplers in 16.5-17.5 GHz frequency range and finally, planar probe coaxial waveguide combiners in 8.5- 11.5 GHz and 15.5-17.5 GH...
