Özgün, Ali
A microstrip patch antenna array with substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) feed network is designed and realized. With this configuration, waveguide which is advantageous in high frequency designs is integrated to antenna array in planar form by eliminating the drawback of the bulky structure of them. The design is based on an E-plane SIW power divider in multilayer form. For the feed network, a 4-way E-plane SIW power divider is constituted with 3-layered structure and an antenna system is obtained by merging the antenna layer with this 3-layered feed network. Through this multilayer feed network, resultant antenna system has a compact structure which is not enlarged by the feeding part. The developed network has comparable performance with microstrip counterparts and it is more advantageous for higher frequencies due to the planar waveguide structure. Through the realization of the design, TRL calibration technique is applied to extract the effects of the non-SIW parts from the measurement results.

Atabay, Berkay; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
This thesis includes design, simulation, realization and measurement of a four-element quasi- Yagi antenna array printed on a ceramic substrate for X-band radar applications. The microstrip array antenna is designed using four quasi-Yagi antennas in a linear configuration and is printed on Alumina 99.6% substrate made by Coorstek Corporation. The antenna can fit into small areas because of compact structure due to the use of high dielectric constant substrates. In addition, the use of alumina ceramic substr...

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...

An active antenna array design and simulation of this design with a microwave circuit simulator are presented. This active antenna array is a TV receive only (TVRO) antenna operating at 10 GHz. It is a 8x4 array of rectangular microstrip patch antennas. Eight low noise pHEMTs are placed in the antenna. Passive antenna characteristics are usually obtained by analytical techniques or using special softwares for this purpose. The numerical representation as well as the nonreciprocal nature of the active device...

Karaciğer, Kamil; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis includes the design, simulation, production and measurement of an asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antenna suitable to be used as an element in a linear array operating at S-band (2.7 GHz - 3.3 GHz). In this same manner, its usefulness as an array antenna is also explored in this thesis. This antenna element consists of a microstrip line feed, microstrip to coplanar stripline transition (BALUN) and asymmetric coplanar strip (ACPS) folded dipole. The planar folded dipole can be constructed...
