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 waveguides and devices. The application of the MMI technique is investigated experimentally by using a metallic waveguide structure operating in the X-band. The construction of the related structure and the related experimental work are reported.

Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors
Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
Reliability improvement of RF MEMS devices based on lifetime measurements
Gürbüz, Ozan Doğan; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This thesis presents fabrication of shunt, capacitive contact type RF MEMS switches which are designed according to given mm-wave performance specifications. The designed switches are modified for investigation in terms of reliability and lifetime. To observe the real-time performance of switches a time domain measurement setup is established and a CV (capacitance vs. voltage) curve measurement system is also included to measure CV curves, pull-in and hold-down voltages and the shifts of these due to actuat...
High performance readout electronics for uncooled infrared detector arrays
Yıldırım, Ömer Özgür; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis reports the development of high performance readout electronics for resistive microbolometer detector arrays that are used for uncooled infrared imaging. Three different readout chips are designed and fabricated by using a standard 0.6 m CMOS process. Fabricated chips include a conventional capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) type readout circuit, a novel readout circuit with dynamic resistance nonuniformity compensation capability, and a new improved version of the CTIA circuit. The fabr...
Development of a pc numerical system for high voltage sphere gap control
Kasap, Onur; Hızal, Mirzahan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, a high precision motion and position control system has been developed and applied to a high voltage sphere gap control and measurement system. The system is able to support up to 3-axes position and motion control. The control system includes a microcontroller card, three DC servo motor driver cards and a data storage unit. To provide communication between computer and motion control system, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is used. The microcontroller card is equipped with an USB interf...
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...
