Branchline couplers are widely used components in the design of microwave devices. In addition to other applications, these couplers have been crucial elements for high power GaN based MMIC designs where layout space limitations are known to be critical. The conventional branchline couplers designed by four quarter wavelenght transmission lines. This type of conventional branchline coupler covers a large physical area that leads to high costs in MMIC fabrication. Therefore, design of miniaturized branchline coupler with increased operational bandwidth is important to minimize the chip size and increase the bandwidth of system. In additional, usage of optimum electromagnetic simulation in terms of accuracy and simulation time is significant to reduce the simulation time without suffering from the loss of accuracy. In this thesis, branchline couplers will be analyzed and designed paying special attention to increase the operation bandwidth and reduce the area as small as possible. Different electromagnetic solvers will be used to analyze the coupler topologies and results will be compared in terms of accuracy and simulation time.

Beam modulation in double gap virtual cathode oscillator
Küçük, İbrahim Semih; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Vircator is a promising high power microwave device when its simplicity, frequency tunability, lack of external magnetic field source are considered. Vircator gains importance especially susceptibility testing to electromagnetic pulses of electronic equipments with its tunability. Apart from advantages, main bottleneck of the vircator is its low efficiency. Tunability and efficiency enhancement studies are still continued in literature. Double gap vircator draws attention due to its tunability, generation f...
Investigation of solder materials and bond formation for wafer level packaging of mems devices
Temel, Oğuzhan; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2020-10)
MEMS devices are microscale systems which are fabricated using micro fabrication techniques. MEMS systems suggest many different functional devices for both military applications and consumer products. The packaging of MEMS devices is one of the most challenging parts of MEMS commercialization. Each type of MEMS device may need special operation environment. Therefore, the packaging of MEMS devices must provide required hermeticity in order to keep the special environment throughout the device's lifetime. A...
Nonlinear compressible finite viscoleasticity of epoxy-based polymers
Dal, Hüsnü; Gromala, P. J.; Han, B. (2019-01-01)
Epoxy-based polymers are widely used in the semiconductor industry as thermal and/or electrical interfaces and as encapsulating material. In the automotive industry, epoxy-based molding compounds (EMCs) are often used to protect not only the single IC packages but also the entire electronic control units (ECUs) (or the power modules). The stress caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between EMC and adjacent materials is one of the major causes for premature failure. In the tem...
Ballistic impact performance of an armor material consisting of alumina and dual phase steel layers
Ubeyli, Mustafa; Deniz, Huseyin; DEMİR, TEYFİK; Ögel, Bilgehan; Gurel, Bayram; KELEŞ, Ömer (2011-03-01)
Utilization of a ceramic front layer provides an improvement in the ballistic efficiency of monolithic metallic materials. In the current paper, the ballistic behavior of laminated composite having alumina front and dual phase steel backing layers was studied using 7.62 mm armor piercing (AP) projectiles under normal impact. The variables used were martensite content of the backing layer and the areal density of the composite. Experimental results showed that utilization of a 6 mm thick alumina front layer ...
Design of tunable and dual/multi-band metamaterial based perfect microwave absorber
Dincer, Furkan; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; ÜNAL, EMİN; Sabah, Cumali (2015-01-01)
Tunable and multi-band metamaterial (MTM) based perfect microwave absorber (MA) is designed, implemented, and characterized. Firstly, dual-band MA with has two distinct resonances is investigated both numerically and experimentally which is also tested according the incident angle and polarization independencies. Then, the modified versions of MA are investigated and compared with respect to their absorbance, mechanical tunability, and multi-band characters. As a result, the suggested MAs with perfect absor...
