A novel, travelling-wave, waveguide antenna structure with monopulse capability in the two principal planes is proposed with increased frequency bandwidth. The array consists of two interleaved waveguide arrays which provide appropriate excitations to the antenna elements above the waveguide to generate proper sum and difference patterns. With the use of printed antennas and the elimination of the narrow frequency characteristics of the slots on the waveguides, the bandwidth of the array is greatly improved.

True-time delay structures for microwave beamforming networks in S-band phased arrays Temir, Kaan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) True time delay networks are one of the most critical structures of wideband phased-array antenna systems which are frequently used in self-protection and electronic warfare applications. In order to direct the main beam of a wideband phased-array antenna to the desired direction; phase values, which are linearly dependent to frequency, are essential. Due to the phase characteristics of the true-time delay networks, beam squint problems for broadband phased array systems are minimized. In this thesis, diffe...
Relay-Assisted Beamforming for Multicast Systems with Energy Harvesting Capability Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-05-19) In this paper, multi-group multicasting scenario is considered where single antenna sources transmit their own information to different groups of users with the help of single antenna relays. Users have energy harvesting capability, i.e., a part of the received signal is used for information decoding while the rest is used for energy harvesting. Beamforming is performed by the relays which use amplify-and-forward protocol. The design of complex relay coefficients and power splitting ratios for the users is ...
Phased array antenna calibration and experimental validation Yalım, Alper; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) In this thesis, nine different methods aiming calibration of Phased Array Antenna (PAA) and Multifunctional Radars which employ PAA are presented. Those calibration methods are described, procedures of the methods are explained in detail, and information about constraints and measurement restrictions of those methods is given. As one step further, comprehensive work is focused on Multi-Element Phase Toggling (MEP) method and Rotating Element Vector (REV) method. Results of simulations are shown, theoretical...
RF MEMS Based Millimeter Wave Phased Array for Short Range Communication Bayraktar, Omer; Kobal, Enis; Sevinç, Yusuf; Cetintepe, Cagri; Comart, Ilker; Demirel, Kaan; Topalli, Ebru Sagiroglu; Akın, Tayfun; Demir, Şimşek; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-05-17) This paper presents millimeter wave phased array antenna for short range communication applications at 35 GHz. The antenna array is formed by 1 x 16 microstrip antipodal tapered slot antennas each connected to RF MEMS phase shifters for beam steering. The simulation and measurement results of the single antenna element are presented and the phase shifter structure to be used in the array is described in the paper. RF MEMS phase shifters are fabricated using an in-house surface micromachining process.
HYBRID BEAMFORMING WITH TWO BIT RF PHASE SHIFTERS IN SINGLE GROUP MULTICASTING Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-03-25) In this paper, an efficient hybrid beamforming architecture combining analog and digital beamforming is proposed to reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains. It provides a good compromise between the higher degree of freedom of digital beamforming and hardware cost and complexity. In this hybrid system, two bit RF phase shifters are used as analog beamformers due to the fact that this enables the conversion of the combinatorial optimization problem to a continuous programming formulation. The overal...
