This paper presents a novel biosensor structure consisting of a resonator placed at the top wall of a microchannel (Resonator-on-Microchannel: RoM). The proposed biosensor structure is aimed to be used for real-time gravimetric detection of microscale biological targets in liquid environment by tracking the resonance frequency change of the system as the sought particles/cells are attached to the resonator surface. The damping effects are minimized with the help of the proposed resonator placement as well as the hydrophobic coating applied around the resonator gaps. Measurement results show that the quality factor drops only by a factor of 0.5 in liquid environment, validating the operation of the structure. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Design of a defected ground beam forming network
Kilic, Ozgehan; Demir, Şimşek (2010-12-20)
This text presents the design of a novel, wideband beam forming network (BFN) realized by defected ground structure (DGS). The BFN is a corporate one with equi-phase and magnitude output ports. In a regular microstrip BFN design, non-standard, thin-and-thick lines are used together with the standard-width (50 Ω) lines for matching purposes. However, in this design, the BFN is implemented by using standard-width microstrip lines, and rectangular defects at the ground with a 0.508 mm-thick Rogers RO4003C subs...
Design and implementation of reconfigurable transmitarray unit cells employing the element rotation method by microfluidics
Erdil, Emre; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Topallı, Kağan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis presents design, fabrication and measurement of a novel, continuously tunable, circularly polarized X-band microfluidic transmitarray unit cell. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first study in the literature where a microfluidics approach is used to tune the phase of the transmitted field through the unit cell by the element rotation method. Furthermore, the generalized transmitarray design conditions necessary to utilize the element rotation method are derived. To implement the novel micr...
Design of a Test Setup for Measuring Dynamic Stiffness of Vibration Isolators
Uz, Canan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2014-01-01)
In this paper, design efforts to develop a custom test setup for measuring dynamic stiffness of vibration isolators are presented. The setup is designed to conduct dynamic stiffness measurements for various static preload values and over a certain (target) frequency range. Direct Method has been selected among the methods defined by standards found in the literature. In order to investigate the effect of basic design parameters of the test setup on its overall performance, an equivalent eight degree of free...
Design of a MEMS based hydraulic pressure sensor
Göreke, Utku; Azgın, Kıvanç; Beyaz, Mustafa İlker; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2016)
This dissertation presents a novel technique for detection of hydraulic pressure by using a MEMS resonant sensor. Proposed sensor utilizes a double ended tuning fork (DETF) resonator. In the literature tuning forks are used for measurement of the deflection of a diaphragm. However, in this study, a tuning fork is configured to lay in orthogonal direction with a diaphragm of which center point deflection is being measured. Upon application of pressure, center deflection of the diaphragm induces an axial comp...

Çakal, Gökhan; Keysan, Ozan (2019-01-01)
This paper presents a double sided permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (DSPMLSM) with novel V-shaped hairpin plate windings and diagonally placed square magnets. Unlike the conventional stranded round wires, proposed winding type offers easy manufacturing and high current densities. Air cored structure eliminates problems related to cogging torque. In order to obtain fast results, analytical magnetic field model of the motor is derived using magnetic scalar potential and verified with finite element a...
