This dissertation is focused on the design, fabrication, and characterization of multi-band metamaterials in microwave region with novel applications in antennas with the following outcomes: In the first part of dissertation, important concepts that have to be considered during the design, simulation and characterization of planar metamaterial arrays are investigated. All investigations are performed using the planar dual band nested U-ring resonator (2-NURR) metamaterial array that is a novel exemplar of the planar metamaterial arrays. First, effects of different electromagnetic excitation types on the behavior of planar 2-NURR metamaterial array are examined. Then, the effects of using different boundary conditions and different computational volume dimensions in numerical simulations of periodic planar 2-NURR metamaterial arrays are investigated. Next, the commonly used parameter retrieval methods are reviewed with a special focus on the widely used Nicholson-Ross-Weir (NRW) algorithm. Finally, the important shortcomings of NRW algorithm are demonstrated for dense metamaterial arrays. In the second part of dissertation, the M-band nested split ring resonator (M-NSRR) having a small and geometrically simple unit cell is introduced as a novel multi-band MNG type metamaterial. Then, design and simulation procedures, fabrication and measurement processes for the M-band nested U-ring resonator (M-NURR) are given as the modified simpler version of the M-NSRR topology. Next, the single-sided and double-sided (in broadside-coupled configuration) versions of the M-NURR are demonstrated on a comparative basis for further miniaturization of the M-NURR topologies. At the end of this part, performances of nested ring resonators with different topologies are compared. In the last part of dissertation, metamaterial-inspired electrically small, single-, dual- and triple-band antennas with steerable radiation patterns and high radiation efficiencies at the GSM (1.93-1.99GHz), ISM (2.43-2.4835GHz), and WIMAX (3.3-3.6GHz) frequencies are introduced. First, performance characteristics of these single-band and multi-band antennas are investigated numerically. Then, three different single band antennas having their maximum directivities in the vertical, diagonal and horizontal directions at the GSM (1.93-1.99GHz) frequencies are fabricated as the exemplars of the antennas with steerable radiation pattern and experimental results from these antennas are reported. Finally, experimental results for fabricated dual- and triple-band antennas having their maximum directivities in the vertical directions are demonstrated as examples to multi-band metamaterial antenna applications.

Design, fabrication and characterization of novel metamaterials in microwave and terahertz regions : multi-band, frequency-tunable and miniaturized structures
Ekmekçi, Evren; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This dissertation is focused on the design, fabrication, and characterization of novel metamaterials in microwave and terahertz regions with the following outcomes: A planar µ-negative metamaterial structure, called double-sided SRR (DSRR), is proposed in the first part of this study. DSRR combines the features of a conventional split ring resonator (SRR) and a broadside-coupled SRR (BC-SRR) to obtain much better miniaturization at microwave frequencies for a given physical cell size. In addition to DSRR, d...
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 ...
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...
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...
Implementation of a risc microcontroller using fpga
Gümüş, Raşit; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis a microcontroller core is developed in an FPGA. Its instruction set is compatible with the microcontroller PIC16XX series by Microchip Technology. The microcontroller employs a RISC architecture with separate busses for instructions and data. Our goal in this research is to implement and evaluate the design in the FPGA. Increasing performance and gate capacity of recent FPGA devices permits complex logic systems to be implemented on a single programmable device. Such a growing complexity dema...
