An artificial transmission line unit cell is presented based on the so-called composite right/left handed transmission line. It is implemented on a microelectromechanical system process on glass, and is suitable for applications such as reconfigurable leaky-wave antennas and series feed networks. The device presents state-of-the-art performance in terms of differential phase shift over losses (38 degrees/dB at 14 GHz) and quasi-zero drive power consumption. It is monolithic and has a total footprint of 4 mm(2).

A 2D Slotted Rod Type PhC Cavity Inertial Sensor Design for Impact Sensing Orsel, Ogulcan Emre; ERDİL, MERTCAN; Kocaman, Serdar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01) A tunable 2D rod type Si Photonic Crystal cavity based impact sensing configuration is proposed and numerically analyzed. The cavity is sandwiched by perfect electric conductor (PEC) boundaries in order to provide out-of-plane light confinement. An on-purpose air slot is introduced between the Si rods and top PEC plate moving the light confinement into the slotted region and making the cavity highly responsive to the displacement of top PEC boundary. Optomechanical coupling strength is calculated to be on t...
Comparative investigation of resonance characteristics and electrical size of the double sided SRR BC SRR and conventional SRR type metamaterials for varying substrate parameters EKMEKÇİ, EVREN; Sayan, Gönül (EMW Publishing, 2009-01-01) This paper introduces a planar µ-negative (MNG) metamaterial structure, called double-sided split ring resonator (DSRR), which combines the features of a conventional SRR and a broadside-coupled SRR (BC-SRR) to obtain much better miniaturization at microwave frequencies for a given physical cell size. In this study, electromagnetic transmission characteristics of DSRR, BC-SRR and conventional SRR are investigated in a comparative manner for varying values of substrate parameters which are thickness, the rea...
Utilization of anisotropic metamaterial layers in waveguide miniaturization and transitions Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-11-01) We introduce a new approach which enables a waveguide to support propagation of electromagnetic waves below the cutoff frequency, as well as which avoids undesirable reflections in a waveguide. These are achieved through the usage of an anisotropic metamaterial layer by employing the concept of coordinate transformation. The proposed method can be utilized for the fabrication of miniaturized waveguides, and for the elimination of discontinuities in abrupt waveguide transitions. We demonstrate some numerical...
Simulation of the Scattered Field From a Vibrating Tumor Inside the Tissue Using 3D-FDTD Method Top, Can Baris; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-06-01) A simulation method for calculating the scattered field from a small, vibrating breast tumor is given. The Volume Equivalence Principle together with subcell type finite difference time domain formulation is used for obtaining the scattered field from the tumor. The Doppler component of the scattered field is calculated using the simulation results for the undisplaced and the displaced positions of the tumor. The method is validated by comparing the results obtained on a sample problem with the results of a...
High responsivity InP-InGaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors: Characteristics and focal plane array performance Cellek, OO; Ozer, S; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-07-01) We report the detailed characteristics of long-wavelength infrared InP-In0.53Ga0.47As quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) and 640 x 512 focal plane array (FPA) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. For reliable assessment of the detector performance, characterization was performed on test detectors of the same size and structure with the FPA pixels. Al0.27Ga0.73As-GaAs QWIPs with similar spectral response (lambda(p) = similar to 7.8 mu m) were also fabricated and characterized for comparison. InP-InGaAs...
