Optimum design of feed structures for high G/T passive and active antenna arrays
Demir, S; Toker, Canan (1999-03-01)
In this work, noise analysis of parallel feed structures is presented. Signal and noise behavior of the feed structures are signified by the newly introduced concepts of "coherent' and "incoherent" impedance match of power-combining structures. It is also shown that a feed structure can be redesigned for low-noise operation without affecting the radiation characteristics. Optimum design of parallel feed structures for low-noise operation is explained, Also an optimum use of active elements in such structure...
Beam Steerable Traveling Wave Meander Line Antenna Using Varactor Diode for X-Band Applications
Gokalp, Nihan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2008-07-11)
This paper presents a novel beam steerable meander line antenna with varactor diode for X-band applications. Beam steering has been achieved by loading the arms of the meander line antenna with varactor diodes. The capacitances of the varactor diodes have been controlled by DC bias voltage. Instead of varactor diodes, RF-MEMS variable capacitances can be used to scan the beam. Since the insertion loss of MEMS capacitances are small compared to loss of varactor diodes, use of MEMS capacitors will increase th...
Analysis and design of microstrip patch antennas with arbitrary slot shapes
Şener, Göker; Alatan, Lale; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
A new method is proposed that provides simple and effcient design and analysis algorithm for microstrip antennas with arbitrary patch shapes. The proposed procedure uses the mutiport network model (MNM) where the antenna is considered as a cavity bounded by perfect electric conductors on the top and the bottom surfaces and perfect magnetic conductor on the side surfaces. Ports are defined along the periphery of the patch, and the impedance matrix representing the voltage induced at one port due to a current...
Analysis and design of slotted substrate integrated waveguide antenna on cylindrical surface
Bayraktar, Ömer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis presents novel traveling wave conformal shunt slot arrays on cylindrical substrate integrated waveguide (CSIW) placed on a cylindrical surface in the circumferential direction at K-band. Mutual couplings of longitudinal slots on broad wall of CSIW are formulated and active admittance formulas of the slots are derived which are used in Elliott’s design procedure to design slotted CSIW arrays. The designs are carried out at 25 GHz using non-uniform and uniform slot separations. The non uniform slo...
Optimum number of antenna elements in a sub-array for highest G/T
Demir, S (1998-06-26)
There are a number of different parallel arm feed topologies which give the same radiation pattern characteristics. On the of her hand, noise temperature and efficiency of those feed structures will possibly, be not the same. In this wort parallel arm feed structures are studied for their noise and efficiency performance using the noise equivalent line length method and an optimum number of antenna elements for a sub-array is obtained by comparing noise temperature and efficiencies of the structures.
