In this work, a compact imager design concept for micro and nano satellites is introduced. Although the performances of these platforms are increasing, the imagers cannot keep up with the platforms due to mass and volume limitations. Hence payloads require novel designs to have better imagers on board of these platforms, in terms of spectral resolution, spatial resolution, signal to noise ratio and field of view. The concept that we present here involves an object-space flat mirror that can be rotated around two orthogonal axes. One of the movements helps scanning the Earth in cross-track direction while the other movement helps increasing the integration time by forward motion compensation. When used in combination with a frame sensor covered with parallel filter strips, the camera can fulfill all of the above mentioned requirements simultaneously with an optimal performance. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the concept, an example design is shown that can fit into a three unit cubesat.

A novel beamforming emulating photonic nanojets for wireless relay networks Alabed, Samer; Mahariq, Ibrahim; Salman, Mohammad; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2021-01-01) All rights reserved.In this article, a low-cost electromagnetic structure emulating photonic nanojets is utilized to improve the efficiency of wireless relay networks. The spectral element method, due to its high accuracy, is used to verify the efficiency of the proposed structure by solving the associate field distribution. The application of optimal single-relay selection method shows that full diversity gain with low complexity can be achieved. In this paper, the proposed technique using smart relays co...
A Dual-Band Wide-Angle Scanning Phased Array Antenna in K/Ka Bands for Satellite-on-the-Move Applications Kapusuz, Kamil Yavuz; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Yarovoy, Alexander G. (2017-03-24) This study presents the design of a dual-band cavity-backed phased array antenna with wide-angle scanning capability in K/Ka bands for the geostationary (GSO)-fixed satellite service (FSS). To reduce the losses and mutual coupling, a novel antenna element similar to the cavity-backed Strip-Slot-Air-Inverted-Patch (SSAIP) is proposed as an element of designed array of 81 elements. Wide-angle scanning up to 60 degrees is achieved at both frequency bands of the operation. The developed antenna is suitable for ...
A Novel UWB Slot Antenna with a Self-Complementary Matching Network Ojaroudi, Mohammad; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-11-03) In this paper a simple printed slot antenna with an enhanced bandwidth based on self-complementary structures is presented for UWB applications. The proposed antenna consists of a square radiating patch with a microstrip feed-line defected by an inverted U-shaped slot on one side, a rectangular slot and a defected ground plane by an inverted U-shaped strip protruded from rectangular slot on the other side. The antenna provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 100% (3.2-10.5 GHz). This large o...
A MEMS Based Lens Microscanner for Resolution Enhancement of Infrared Imaging Systems Sozak, Ahmet; Simsek, Ertug; Azgın, Kıvanç (2019-01-01) The aim of this study is to demonstrate a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based in-plane (x and y axes) lens scanner to improve the resolution of Long Wave Infrared Optical Systems (8-12 mu m wavelength). The proposed actuator consists of a 2 axis decoupled stage and has 4 separate V-Shaped (Chevron) thermal actuators which provide sufficient force and displacement to position the lens within required time. Miniaturization of lens has been achieved by using an aspherical surface and optimization of ...
A Compact Angular Rate Sensor System Using a Fully Decoupled Silicon-on-Glass MEMS Gyroscope Alper, Said Emre; Temiz, Yuksel; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-12-01) This paper presents the development of a compact single-axis angular rate sensor system employing a 100-mu m-thick single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical systems gyroscope with an improved decoupling arrangement between the drive and sense modes. The improved decoupling arrangement of the gyroscope enhances the robustness of sensing frame against drive-mode oscillations and therefore minimizes mechanical crosstalk between the drive and sense modes, yielding a small bias instability. The gyroscope cor...
