The Method of Moments (MoM) has been used extensively to solve electromagnetic problems. Its popularity is largely attributed to its adaptability to structures with various shapes and success in predicting the equivalent induced currents accurately. However, due to its dense matrix, especially for large structures, the MoM suffers from long matrix solution time and large storage requirement. In this thesis it is shown that use of wavelet basis functions result in a MoM matrix which is sparser than the one obtained by using traditional basis functions. A new wavelet system, different from the ones found in literature, is proposed. Stabilized Bi-Conjugate Gradient Method which is an iterative matrix solution method is utilized to solve the resulting sparse matrix equation. Both a one-dimensional problem with a microstrip line example and a two-dimensional problem with a rectangular patch antenna example are studied and the results are compared.

Design of an electromagnetic classifier for spherical targets
Ayar, Mehmet; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
This thesis applies an electromagnetic feature extraction technique to design electromagnetic target classifiers for conductors, dielectrics and dielectric coated conductors using their natural resonance related late-time scattered responses. Classifier databases contain scattered data at only a few aspects for each candidate target. The targets are dielectric spheres of varying sizes and refractive indices, perfectly conducting spheres varying sizes and dielectric coated conducting spheres of varying refra...
Analysis and design of passive microwave and optical devices using the multimode interference technique
Sunay, Ahmet Sertaç; Birand, Mehmet Tuncay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
The Multimode Interference (MMI) mechanism is a powerful toool used in the analysis and design of a certain class of optical, microwave and millimeter wave devices. The principles of the MMI method and the self-imaging principle is described. Using this method, NXM MMI couplers, MMI splitter/combiners are analyzed. Computer simulations for illustrating the "Multimode Interference Mechanism" are carried out. The MMI approach is used to analyze overmoded 'rectangular metallic' and 'dielectric slab' type of wa...
Analysis of coupled lines in microwave printed circuit elements
Piroğlu, Şefika Özkal; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Full wave analysis of microstrip lines at microwave frequencies is performed by using method of moments in conjunction with closed-form spatial domain Green’s functions. The Green’s functions are in general Sommerfeld-type integrals which are computationally expensive. To improve the efficiency of the technique, Green’s functions are approximated by their closed-forms. Microstrip lines are excited by arbitrarily located current sources and are terminated by complex loads at both ends. Current distributions ...
Solving the forward problem of electrical source imaging by applying the reciprocal approach and the finite difference method
Ahi, Sercan Taha; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
One of the goals of Electroencephalography (EEG) is to correctly localize brain activities by the help of voltage measurements taken on scalp. However, due to computational difficulties of the problem and technological limitations, the accuracy level of the activity localization is not perfect and should be improved. To increase accuracy level of the solution, realistic, i.e. patient dependent, head models should be created. Such head models are created via assigning realistic conductivity values of head ti...
A monolithic phased array using rf mems technology
Topallı, Kağan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis presents a novel monolithic phased array implemented using the RF MEMS technology. The structure, which is designed at 15 GHz, consists of four linearly placed microstrip patch antennas, 3-bit distributed RF MEMS low-loss phase shifters, and a corporate feed network. The RF MEMS phase shifter employed in the system consists of three sections with a total of 28 unit cells, and it occupies an area of 22.4 mm 2.1 mm. The performance of the phase shifters is improved using high-Q metal-air-metal ca...
