In this thesis, fiber optic MEMS microphone measurement system is designed and demonstrated. The displacement of the sensing element of the fiber optic microphone, the membrane, together with the optical components are 3-D modeled and simulated by means of finite element methods. The parameters of the optical system under different measurement conditions are optimized according to the simulation results. Based on the simulation results, the measurement system setup is designed, constructed and functionalized. The optical components of the system are chosen such that the overall system is compatible to high quality detection of the displacement of the membrane. The simulation results and experimental data are demonstrated to validate the operation of the measurement system. The system is demonstrated with optical components and the membrane, and characteristics of the fiber optic microphone are obtained. The results and observations related to the overall system are presented.

Design and characterization of a MEMS membrane for a fiber optic microphone Özmen, Göktuğ Cihan; Bayram, Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) The most critical part of a fiber optic MEMS microphone is the sensing element. The sensing element, membrane, is designed such that the microphone operates in the desired range with desired sensitivity. In this thesis, a MEMS membrane is designed and characterized which is aimed to be used in a fiber optic microphone with responsivity to the audible frequency range. This membrane is electrically deflectable and it has symmetrically located air holes. The design is microfabricated through the commercially a...
Design of a Printed Yagi Array Antenna with Additional Director Element for Broadband Radar Applications Atabay, B.; Dural, G. (2019-01-01) In this paper, design, simulation, production and measurement of a coplanar broad-band microstrip antenna printed on an alumina ceramic substrate is presented. Antenna may be used as an element in a radar applications operating at X-band (8 GHz-12 GHz). The antenna driven system consists of one more directors because of the requirements of directivity. The reason of using high dielectric substrates the antenna can be printed on very small spaces. Antenna in Package structure's temperatures rising up rapidly...
Performance of M-ary pulse position modulation for aeronautical uplink communications in an atmospheric turbulent medium Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner (The Optical Society, 2019-10-01) This paper discusses the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an aeronautical uplink optical wireless communication system (OWCS) when a Gaussian beam is employed and the M-ary pulse position modulation technique is used in an atmospheric turbulent medium. Weak turbulence conditions and log-normal distribution are utilized. The Gaussian beam is assumed to propagate on a slant path, the transmitter being ground-based, and the airborne receiver is on-axis positioned. Variations of BER are obtained against the ...
A New Temperature-Tolerant RF MEMS Switch Structure Design and Fabrication for Ka-Band Applications Demirel, Kaan; Yazgan, Erdem; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2016-02-01) In this paper, the design and fabrication of a new radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch structure is presented. This RF MEMS switch is developed to get the minimum permanent deformation on the microbridge after 200 degrees C thermal treatment. The residual stress-based buckling on the MEMS bridge is simulated for 5-40-MPa/mu m stress gradient (Delta sigma) with 5-MPa/mu m steps. The temperature-dependent extension and deformation on the MEMS bridge are modeled up to 270 degrees C...
Design and construction of an experimental apparatus for the interferometric measurement of micrometer level clearances Yıldırım, Murat; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) In this study a fiber optic interferometer (FOI) was designed and constructed to measure micron level clearances occurring in piston cylinder arrangements. A Cartesian model of the piston cylinder assembly is manufactured and lateral motion and vertical displacement are generated via a step motor, and micrometers, respectively. Clearance measurements are conducted in air and also in a lubricant. The range of vertical displacements is kept between 0-50 μm, and the lateral motion is 13.5 mm. The effect of the...
