A novel printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications based on loop sleeve structure in the ground plane is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular radiating patch, a circular-shaped tapered feed line, and a pair of loop sleeves in ground plane which provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 100% (3.19-11.03 GHz). Two rectangular loops are inserted on the ground plane's corners, hence additional resonance is excited and much wider impedance bandwidth is produced. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed antenna for microwave imaging system, the SAR distribution using six elements in a circular array configuration is presented. The proposed antenna exhibits uniform SAR distribution, high efficiency and almost omnidirectional radiation patterns and provides an acceptable gain over whole band.

Bandwidth Enhancement of Small Square Monopole Antenna Using Self-Complementary Structure for Microwave Imaging System Applications
Ojaroudi, Mohammad; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2015-12-01)
A novel printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is designed based on self-complementary structure as a matching network. The proposed antenna consists of a square radiating patch and a self-complementary structure located next to feed line, which provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 100% (3.04-11.43 GHz). Self-complementary matching network is created, by cutting two rectangular ring slots on the ground plane and by inserting two rectangular rings coupled elements ...
Reconfigurable antenna structure for RFID system applications using varactor-loading technique
Sevinç, Yusuf; Kaya, Adnan (2012-01-01)
A novel method is presented for electrically tuning the frequency of a compact radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna. A tuning circuit, comprising a radio frequency (RF) switch and discrete passive components, was completely integrated into the antenna element, which is thus free of DC wires. The low-profile printed antennas were fabricated together with the layouts of the DC control circuits and other RF/baseband circuit footprints. A surface-mounted varactor was applied as a frequency-tuning e...
High performance focal plane array technologies from short to long wavelength infrared bands
Arslan, Yetkin; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis work covers the development of three different state of the art infrared sensor technologies: quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs), HgCdTe sensors and extended InGaAs photodetectors. QWIP is the leading member of the quantum structure infrared photodetector family providing excellent uniformity and stability with field proven performance. The utilization of the InP/In0.48Ga0.52As multi-quantum well structure (instead of the standard AlGaAs/GaAs material system) for the implementation of ...
High resolution computational spectral imaging with photon sieves
Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph (2014-10-27)
Photon sieves, modifications of Fresnel zone plates, are a new class of diffractive image forming devices that open up new possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at UV and x-ray regime. In this paper, we develop a novel computational photon sieve imaging modality that enables high-resolution spectral imaging. For the spatially incoherent illumination, we study the problem of recovering the individual spectral images from the superimposed and blurred measurements of the propos...
Design of a dual polarized low profile antenna for microwave brain imaging
Üçel, Kaan; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-9)
In this thesis, a low profile, low cost, wide band (0.9-2GHz) dual linearly polarized printed dipole antenna is designed to be used in microwave brain imaging systems. Dual polarization feature offers superior data acquisition through polarization diversity for better image quality. Starting from a simple printed dipole, antenna structure is modified step by step to meet these design requirements. Since a conductive surface in close vicinity of the antenna affects antenna performance, in order to obtain uni...
