We present a novel coordinate transformation technique that controls the propagation of waves inside a waveguide, such that the waveguide behaves as if it is a reshaped waveguide. In this technique, the spatial domain of the waveguide is mapped to that of its reshaped equivalent, yielding an anisotropic medium inside the waveguide. In other words, the waveguide in the transformed space can be imagined as if it is filled with an anisotropic metamaterial whose spatially varying constitutive parameters reflect the effect of the coordinate transformation on the field quantities. In this anisotropic metamaterial, Maxwell's equations are still satisfied due to their form-invariance property under coordinate transformations. The most appealing feature of the proposed method is that it renders a waveguide to support electromagnetic wave propagation below the cutoff frequency; thus, it can be utilized in waveguide miniaturization. However, this technique is more general, and it can transform a waveguide into another waveguide having an arbitrary miniaturized (or maxiaturized) shape without changing its propagation characteristics. Thus, the proposed method can be employed for the elimination of discontinuities in abrupt waveguide-to-waveguide transitions. We report numerical results for finite element simulations of various waveguides.

Closed-form Green's functions for finite grounded dielectric substrate
Öğücü, Gölge; ALATAN, LALE; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (Informa UK Limited, 2005-02-01)
The approximate closed-form Green's functions of the vector and scalar potentials in the spatial domain are derived for a horizontal electric dipole placed over a finite grounded dielectric medium. The effects of the discontinuity at the edges are considered by including the surface wave reflections from the edges, which are obtained as a function of the incident angle by using the edge admittance concept. The closed-form expressions of the reflection coefficients are then derived by means of the generalize...
General-Purpose Characteristic Basis Finite Element Method for Multi-Scale Electrostatic and Electromagnetic Problems
Ozgun, Ozlem; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
This article presents a noniterative and parallel finite element technique that is tailored for a wide class of electromagnetic boundary problems, covering both quasi-static and time-harmonic regimes. This approach, called the characteristic basis finite element method, combines the domain decomposition technique with the use of characteristic basis functions that are generated by employing a finite number of point charges or dipole-type sources, depending upon whether work is being done in a quasi-static o...
Design of metasurface polarization converter from linearly polarized signal to circularly polarized signal
AKGÖL, OĞUZHAN; ÜNAL, EMİN; ALTINTAŞ, OLCAY; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; KARADAĞ, FARUK; Sabah, Cumali (Elsevier BV, 2018-01-01)
In this study, we both numerically and experimentally present a metasurface (MS) polarization converter to transform linearly polarized signal into circularly polarized one. The unit cell consists of two rectangular metallic patches placed at the crossed corners of rectangularly arranged inclusions. The results of a full-wave Electromagnetic (EM) simulator are compared to those of free space measurement using two horn antenna at microwave frequency regime. For a linearly polarized antenna, the s-parameters ...
Optical constants of Tl4Ga3InSe8 layered single crystals
Goksen, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2007-11-15)
The optical properties of Tl(4)Ga(3)lnSe(8) layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 run. The analysis of the room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 1.94 and 2.20 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature i...
Use of Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation Technique in the Analysis of Multilayer Structures With Doubly Periodic Dielectric Gratings
Gudu, Tamer; Alatan, Lale (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09-01)
The reflection and dispersion characteristics of multilayer structures that involve periodically implanted material blocks are obtained by using the MoM solution of the volume integral equation. The asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique is utilized to obtain a Pade approximation of the solution in terms of a parameter such as frequency or incident angle. The use of AWE technique enables a fast sweep with respect to the approximation parameter. Moreover, a robust method for extracting the dispersion...
