The 60 GHz technology has an immense potential to provide wireless communication at multi-gigabit rates. At 60 GHz frequency band, severe attenuation of the signals can significantly degrade communication performance. To cope with the attenuation problem, directional antennas with high directive gains can be utilized. When network nodes use directional antennas, the neighbor discovery process becomes more complicated and time consuming. To reduce the neighbor discovery time, we propose a smart neighbor scanning algorithm in this paper. It is observed that the proposed strategy discovers 70% of the links 81% faster and 90% of the links 15% faster than random scanning strategy.

Dual-frequency reconfigurable slot dipole array with a CPW-based feed network using RF MEMS technology for X- and Ka-band applications Topalli, Kagan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Demir, Şimşek; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Akın, Tayfun (2007-06-15) In recent years there is a growing interest to combine various wireless applications in a single system for miniaturization purposes. A reconfigurable MEMS antenna that can operate in multi- frequencies is an appropriate way of reducing system volume. The monolithic integration of tunable MEMS components with antennas can also reduce parasitic effects, the losses, and packaging costs. Moreover an array of these types of antennas can offer solutions for the systems requiring high antenna gains. This paper pr...
Design and analysis of ultra-wideband (UWB) printed monopole antennas of circular shape Karadağ, Serkan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) This study proposes three microstrip line fed circular monopole antennas with ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics, improved omnidirectional radiation pattern and WLAN (5 GHz-6 GHz) band notched characteristics for wireless and mobile communication systems. In this thesis, first, a microstrip line fed ultra-wideband ring monopole antenna with improved omnidirectional radiation pattern is designed, fabricated and measured. Two corners are tapered on the ground plane for increasing impedance bandwidth. In ord...
Neighbor discovery in network with directional antennas Bilgin, Yusuf Alper; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2013-08-05) Using directional antennas in wireless networks has become a popular approach due to its benefits. However, since the existing MAC protocols were not designed to work with such antennas, when the existing protocols are used, the network capacity may even deteriorate rather than improve. In this paper, a neighbor discovery algorithm has been proposed for a system using directional antennas. A discovery algorithm proposed by [1] has been studied and its efficiency has been improved by making some changes. Wit...
Design of dual-frequency probe-fed microstrip antennas with genetic optimization algorithm Ozgun, O; Mutlu, S; Aksun, MI; Alatan, Lale (2003-08-01) Dual-frequency operation of antennas has become a necessity for many applications in recent wireless communication systems, such as GPS, GSM services operating at two different frequency bands, and services of PCS and IMT-2000 applications. Although there are various techniques to achieve dual-band operation from various types of microstrip antennas, there is no efficient design tool that has been incorporated with a suitable optimization algorithm. In this paper, the cavity-model based simulation tool alon...
Smart Switchable Beam Antennas for Internet of Things Applications Aragbaiye, Yewande Mariam; Nesimoğlu, Tayfun; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9) The main objective of this thesis is to design, fabricate and test novel and compact switchable and steerable beam smart antennas working at 2.4 GHz frequency that will be integrated into 6TiSCH networks for IoT applications. In this thesis, two switchable beam antenna designs are presented. The first antenna design which is a dual-port multi-layered switchable beam antenna can steer and switch its main beam both in the azimuth and the elevation plane in four directions. A parasitic Yagi-Uda layer made up o...
