Edge Wall Slotted Waveguide Antenna with Low Cross Polarization

2010-01-01
A travelling wave SWGA with low cross polarization level is designed using an easy to manufacture, non-inclined slot geometry. The modeling of the slots is done with infinite array unit cell approach. Simulation results showed promising performance in terms of side lobe and cross polarization levels. This antenna will be produced and the measurements results compared with the simulations will be presented at the conference.

A Space-Time Coded Mills Cross MIMO Architecture to Improve DOA Estimation and Its Performance Evaluation by Field Experiments
Ungan, Cahit Ugur; Candan, Çağatay; Çiloğlu, Tolga (2020-06-01)
Conventional Mills Cross architecture suffers from poor direction-of-arrival angle estimation accuracy in the dimension that the transmitter is aligned. To improve the estimation accuracy, a space-time coded, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) direction finding method, with complementary codes is presented. The performance of the suggested MIMO Mills Cross architecture has been evaluated by underwater field experiments. Field experiments confirm the feasibility of the proposed approach and illustrate the...
Slots on Cylindrical Substrate Integrated Waveguide
Bayraktar, Omer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2012-07-14)
Longitudinal slots and coupling between slots placed on the broad wall of a cylindrical substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) are modeled and characterized in order to design a slotted cylindrical SIW array. Characteristics of slot on the SIW bended on a cylindrical surface and effects of radius of curvature to the slot and mutual coupling characteristics are investigated at K band using FEM simulator.
Design and evaluation of V-shaped arrays for 2-D DOA estimation
Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2008-04-04)
A new method for optimum design of V-shaped arrays is presented for azimuth and elevation angle estimation simultaneously. The design criterion is based on the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) for joint estimation where the coupling effect between the azimuth and elevation direction of arrival (DOA) angles is taken into account. The design method finds an optimum angle between the linear sub-arrays of the V-array. The computation of the optimum angle is simple due to the monotonic characteristics of the best and wors...
Intersonic delamination in curved thick composite laminates under quasi-static loading
Gozluklu, Burak; Uyar, Imren; Çöker, Demirkan (2015-01-01)
Dynamic delamination in curved composite laminates is investigated experimentally and numerically. The laminate is 12-ply graphite/epoxy woven fabric L-shaped laminate subject to quasi-static loading perpendicular to one arm. Delamination initiation and propagation are observed using high speed camera and load displacement data is recorded. The quasistatic shear loading initiates delamination at the curved region which propagates faster than the shear wave speed of the material, leading to intersonic delami...

Haykir, Yigit; Karadağ, Savaş; Dagdeviren, Birkan; Demir, Şimşek (2018-11-02)
In this work, design and implementation of broadside altimeter antenna on circular ring surface are performed. Utilizing array factor formulation, possible locations for circular array elements are chosen. Slitted microstrip patch antennas are used for an efficient design. Satisfactory results are obtained for an altimeter antenna that can be utilized in missile, aircraft or spacecraft applications.
