Microwave applications which requires high power gave raise to need for magnetrons which can generate high power and resist this power. The invention of relativistic magnetrons met that requirment in some extent. However, their inherent pulse-shortening issue limits the obtained energy from that kind of magnetrons. In order to compansate the effects of that problem, the start-up time of magnetrons should be reduced. By this way, the energy in one pulse can be increased. In the literature, there are some methods that hasten the start-up of magnetrons. This work compares some of those methods via simulations that are carried on the relativistic A6 magnetron. In addition, from the results of the simulations an input lumped model for magnetrons is suggested and possible physical implications of that model are explained.

Design and realization of high power low loss combiners Suna, Gonca; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) In recent high power microwave systems, power generation is commonly achieved by combining a bunch of transistor amplifier. Regarding the efficiency of power combining operation, insertion loss of the combiner is a critical parameter. In this thesis, several low loss power combiners, namely, microstrip Wilkinson combiner in 6-18 GHz frequency range, suspended stripline branchline couplers in 16.5-17.5 GHz frequency range and finally, planar probe coaxial waveguide combiners in 8.5- 11.5 GHz and 15.5-17.5 GH...
EFFECTS OF FIELD PLATE ON THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION FOR GaN HEMT DEVICES Kara, Dogacan; Donmezer, Nazli; Canan, Talha Furkan; ŞEN, ÖZLEM; ÖZBAY, Ekmel (2016-07-14) Field plated GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are widely preferred amongst other GaN HEMT devices because of their ability to regulate electric field at high power densities. When operated at high power densities, GaN HEMTs suffer significantly from the concentrated heating effects in a small region called hotspot located closer to the drain edge of the gate. Although; the stabilizing effect of field plate on the electrical field distribution in HEMTs is known by researchers, its effect on tem...
High power microsecond fiber laser at 1.5 mu m Pavlova, Svitlana; Yagci, M. Emre; Eken, S. Koray; Tunckol, Ersan; Pavlov, Ihor (The Optical Society, 2020-06-01) In this work, we demonstrate a single frequency, high power fiber-laser system, operating at 1550 nm, generating controllable rectangular-shape mu s pulses. In order to control the amplified spontaneous emission content, and overcome the undesirable pulse steepening during the amplification, a new method with two seed sources operating at 1550 nm and 1560 nm are used in this system. The output power is about 35 W in CW mode, and the peak power is around 32 W in the pulsed mode. The repetition rate of the sy...
Energy Harvesting from Piezoelectric Stacks Using Impacting Beam Ozpak, Yigit; Aykan, Murat; Çalışkan, Mehmet (2015-02-05) Piezoelectric materials can be used for energy harvesting from ambient vibration due to their high power density and ease of application. Two basic methods, namely, tuning the natural frequency to the operational frequency and increasing the operation bandwidth of the harvester are commonly employed to maximize the energy harvested from piezoelectric materials. Majority of the studies performed in recent years focus mostly on tuning the natural frequency of the harvester. However, small deviations in operat...
Efficient integrated DC-DC converters for ultra-low voltage energy harvesters Jayaweera, Herath; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2017-8) The self-starting on-chip fully integrated ultra-low voltage DC-DC converters for energy harvesting applications presented in literature generally have low efficiency and output power capacity. Any improvement in DC-DC converter circuits in terms of energy efficiency, output power, self-starting modes, and voltage gain will contribute significantly to the widespread application of energy harvesters. Two novel fully integrated, self-starting, ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter topologies and model based optim...
