An X band dual polarized slotted waveguide antenna array is designed with very high polarization purity for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. Horizontally polarized radiators are designed using a novel non-inclined edge wall slots whereas the vertically polarized slots are implemented using broad wall slots opened on baffled single ridge rectangular waveguides. Electromagnetic model based on an infinite array unit cell approach is introduced to characterize the slots used in the array. 20 by 10 element planar array of these slots is manufactured and radiation fields are measured. The measurement results of this array are in very good accordance with the simulation results. The dual polarized antenna possesses a low sidelobe level of -35 dB and is able to scan a sector of ±35 degrees in elevation. It also has a usable bandwidth of 600 MHz.

Design of dual polarized wideband microstrip antennas
Yıldırım, Meltem; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a wideband dual polarized microstrip antenna is designed, manufactured and measured. Slot coupled patch antenna structure is considered in order to achieve the wideband characteristic. Although rectangular shaped slot coupled patch antennas are widely used in most of the applications, their utilization in dual polarized antenna structures is not feasible due to space limitations regarding the positioning of two separate coupling slots for each polarization. For a rectangular slot, the parame...
Theoretical investigation and design of wideband dielectric resonator antennas
Yüksel, Yılmaz Çağrı; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
The aim of this thesis is to utilize Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRA) as array elements due to their advantages over other conventional antenna elements such as dipoles and microstrip patches. Depending on both the excitation mechanisms and the antenna shape, a Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) provides its designer multiple independent degrees of freedom. In this thesis three antenna shapes, namely hemispherical, cylindrical and rectangular DRAs, are investigated. The cylindrical and the rectangular sh...
Design and implementation of microwave lumped components and system integration using MEMS technology
Temoçin, Engin Ufuk; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis presents the design and fabrication of coplanar waveguide to microstrip transitions and planar spiral inductors, and the design of metal-insulator-metal capacitors, a planar band-pass, and a low-pass filter structures as an application for the inductors and capacitors using the RF MEMS technology. This thesis also includes a packaging method for RF MEMS devices with the use of “benzocyclobutene” as bonding material. The transition structures are formed by four different methods between coplanar ...
Analysis and design of active annular ring coupled circular patch antenna
Gebeşoğlu, Durmuş; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
This thesis includes the design, production and measurement of the active, dual band annular ring coupled circular patch antenna. The dual band operation is achieved by using stacked patches. 3 dB hybrid is used to obtain circular polarization. Effects of antenna parameters on the input impedance and frequency ratio between the resonance frequencies are observed. Design has been achieved step by step. Firstly, dual band operation is investigated by using stacked patches. An annular ring antenna and a circul...
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...
