The complete design of a re-configurable dual frequency antenna structure, including its integrated RF MEMS switches and their actuation lines together with a CPW feed, is introduced. The number of switches used in the inset is decreased compared to the hybrid design we presented previously (Onat, S. et al., IEEE Int. Antennas and Propag. Symp., vol.2, p.1812-15, 2004). Instead of utilizing available RF MEMS switches, new switches suitable for this application are designed. Two different switch configurations are studied. Although very good performance is obtained for both of these configurations, the double wing design is preferred due to the lower DC voltage required to actuate the switch. This antenna is planned to be manufactured by MEMS production in METU and be measured to compare with the simulation results. The same antenna structure, but without the microstrip to CPW transition section, will also be manufactured to measure the radiation characteristics of the antenna.

Beam Switching Reflectarray Monolithically Integrated With RF MEMS Switches
Bayraktar, Omer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2012-02-01)
A reflectarray antenna monolithically integrated with 90 RF MEMS switches has been designed and fabricated to achieve switching of the main beam. Aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) elements are used to form a 10 x 10 element reconfigurable reflectarray antenna operating at 26.5 GHz. The change in the progressive phase shift between the elements is obtained by adjusting the length of the open ended transmission lines in the elements with the RF MEMS switches. The reconfigurable reflectarray is...
Design of Irregularly Shaped Patch Antennas by using the Multiport Network Model
Sener, Goker; Alatan, Lale; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2008-07-11)
The multiport network model (MNM) is an analytical method that is used to analyze microstrip antennas. MNM is based on defining ports along the periphery of the patch and evaluating the impedance matrix corresponding to these ports by using the Greenpsilas function for the cavity under the patch. For regular rectangular, triangular and circular patches, analytical expressions for the Greenpsilas function are available. In the analysis of irregular patches, Greenpsilas functions cannot be calculated explicit...
Design of a dual polarized low profile antenna for microwave brain imaging
Üçel, Kaan; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-9)
In this thesis, a low profile, low cost, wide band (0.9-2GHz) dual linearly polarized printed dipole antenna is designed to be used in microwave brain imaging systems. Dual polarization feature offers superior data acquisition through polarization diversity for better image quality. Starting from a simple printed dipole, antenna structure is modified step by step to meet these design requirements. Since a conductive surface in close vicinity of the antenna affects antenna performance, in order to obtain uni...
Frequency tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS technology
Erdıl, Emre; Topallı, Kagan; Unlu, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2007-04-01)
A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is presented that is monolithically integrated with RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitors for tuning the resonant frequency. Reconfigurability of the operating frequency of the microstrip patch antenna is achieved by loading it with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) stub on which variable MEMS capacitors are placed periodically. MEMS capacitors are implemented with surface micromachining technology, where a 1-mu m thick aluminum structural layer is plac...
Reconfigurable CPW-FED dual-frequency rectangular slot antenna using RF MEMS technology
Erdil, Emre; Topalli, Kagan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2005-07-08)
A reconfigurable dual-frequency rectangular slot antenna using MEMS technology is presented. In this structure, a rectangular slot antenna is integrated with MEMS cantilever type capacitors. Simulation results show that the structure has a dual frequency behavior where both of the resonant frequencies can be reconfigured dynamically. By the actuation of MEMS cantilevers, the lower resonant frequency shifts 1.2 GHz, whereas the higher resonant frequency has a shift of 330 MHz without any distortion of the ra...
