This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable microstrip slot-coupled patch reflectarray using RF MEMS switches. The reflectarray is designed on two back-to-back bonded glass substrates front side of which contains the microstrip patch antenna elements and the backside contains the phase shifting elements. The phase shifting elements consist of microstrip lines the lengths of which are adjusted with MEMS switches resulting with adjustable phase characteristics of each antenna element. A transmission line based model is used to model the unit element of the array which is used to obtain a phase design curve and the design is verified with HFSS. The 4 × 1 array is then designed at 26 GHz to verify the phase design curve and according to the HFSS simulations, the main beam of the array is rotated by 14° by reconfiguring the length of the microstrip transmission lines with RF MEMS switches.

A Monolithic Phased Array with RF MEMS Technology
Sağkol, Hüseyin; Topallı, Kaan; Ünlü, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2002-08-07)
This paper reports a monolithic phased array implemented using RF MEMS technology. The phased array is composed of a linear array of four patch antennas and a new phase shifter design, monolithically integrated into a glass substrate. The new phase shifter design consists of two sections: one continuous and one discrete phase shifter. Combination of these two types makes it possible to give continuous and large phase shifts at the same time. The phase shifter can provide a phase shift of about 95/spl deg/ c...
Design and implementation of low leakage MEMS microvalves
Yıldırım, Ender; Külah, Haluk; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
This thesis presents analysis, design, implementation, and testing of electrostatically actuated MEMS microvalves. The microvalves are specifically designed for lab-on-a-chip applications to achieve leakage ratios below 0.1 at pressure levels in the order of 101 kPa. For this purpose, two different microvalves are presented in the study. In the proposed designs, electrostatic actuation scheme is utilized to operate the microvalves in normally open and normally closed modes. Characterization of normally open...
Rigorous optimizations of three dimensional antenna arrays using full wave simulations
Onol, Can; Gokce, Ozer; Boyacı, Huseyın; Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2015-07-09)
We present optimizations of three-dimensional antenna arrays using heuristic techniques coupled with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Without resorting to any periodicity and infinity assumptions, antenna arrays are modeled with surface integral equations and simulated via MLFMA, which also enables the analysis of arrays with non-identical elements. Genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization methods are employed on the complex data produced by MLFMA in phasor domain to find optimal s...
Reconfigurable slot antenna with fixed-fixed beam type RF MEMS capacitors
Erdil, Emre; Topallı, Kağan; Ünlü, Mehmet; İstanbulluoğlu, İpek; Temoçin, Engin Ufuk; Atasoy, Halil İbrahim; Bayraktar, Ömer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Demir, Şimşek; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Akın, Tayfun (2006-11-06)
This paper presents a reconfigurable dual-frequency rectangular slot antenna using MEMS technology. MEMS fixed-fixed beam type capacitors loading the antenna are actuated electrostatically to change the equivalent capacitance of the antenna which provides shift in the resonant frequencies. The measurement results show very good agreement with the simulation results and the resonant frequencies are shifted 1 GHz and 350 MHz continuously at around 8.5 GHz and 10.5 GHz, respectively.
35 GHz phased array antenna using DMTL phase shifters
Guclu, Caner; Cetintepe, Cagri; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2010-08-27)
This paper presents the design of a monolithic phased array antenna with DMTL phase shifters on quartz substrate operating at 35 GHz. The design integrates DMTL phase shifters, rectangular slot antennas with the feed network comprising CPW lines, CPW T-junction and corners. On the four branches of the antenna, there are 5-bit phase shifters using 31 MEMS bridges, covering 360° with a resolution of 11.25°.
