In this paper, transmission characteristics (vertical bar S-21 vertical bar) for a split ring resonator (SRR) type unit cell and or SRR arrays with various dimensions and array sizes are investigated in a comparative manner to show the effects of array dimensions and array sizes on the vertical bar S-21 vertical bar spectra. For this purpose, SRR based metamaterial arrays with various dimensions and sizes are fabricated and their vertical bar S-21 vertical bar characteristics are measured by Agilent 8720D network analyzer. These measurement results are compared with the simulation results obtained from the Agilent's HFSS software. As a result, it is shown that the depth of the transmission minimum and the bandwidth of the stop-band both increase with increasing array dimensions and array sizes. Also, the resonance frequency shifts either towards the lower frequencies or towards the higher frequencies depending upon the dimension at which the array Size (number of array elements) is increased.

Split ring resonator (SRR) is a metamaterial structure which displays negative permeability values over a relatively small bandwidth around its magnetic resonance frequency. Unit SRR cells and arrays have been used in various novel applications including the design of miniaturized microwave devices and antennas. When the SRR arrays are combined with the arrays of conducting wires, left handed materials can be constructed with the unusual property of having negative valued effective refractive indices. In th...
Metamaterial absorber-based multisensor applications using a meander-line resonator
AKGÖL, OĞUZHAN; ALTINTAŞ, OLCAY; Dalkilinc, Elif Eda; ÜNAL, EMİN; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; Sabah, Cumali (2017-08-01)
A metamaterial (MTM) absorber-based multifunctional sensor is numerically and experimentally realized using meander-line resonators. The proposed sensor device can be used to measure pressure, density, and humidity with perfect signal absorption characteristics at the frequency range of X band. The structure consists of a sensor layer sandwiched between two dielectric slabs. The sensor layer is used to detect unknown environmental parameters with respect to the electromagnetic responses of the material unde...
Reference-plane-invariant waveguide method for electromagnetic characterization of bi-axial bianisotropic metamaterials
HASAR, UĞUR CEM; Yildiz, Gul; BUTE, MUSA; Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim (2018-11-01)
In this paper, we investigate a reference-plane invariant (RPI) method for electromagnetic property extraction of bi-axial bianisotropic metamaterial (MM) slabs. In order to obtain unique properties, we applied the frequency varying technique in order to determine the location of the slab within its cell. For validation of the proposed method, we first simulated and then measured scattering parameters of a MM slab constructed by split-ring-resonators, next extracted its electromagnetic properties, and final...
Numerical Investigation of Nano-Cavities for Optimal Power Absorption in Solar Cells
Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Topcuoglu, Ulas; Tuygar, Emre; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-06-01)
We present a numerical study of nano-cavities used in solar cells for energy harvesting, by employing surface integral equations based on Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain and an efficient solver based on the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With the three-dimensional modeling of surfaces, we obtain accurate results to evaluate the performances of different structures for improved power absorption in solar cells. This paper includes a brief description of the developed solver and initi...
Evaluation of classical and sparsity-based methods for parametric recovery problems
Başkaya, Hasan Can; Öktem, Figen S..; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
Parametric reconstruction problems arise in many areas such as array processing, wireless communication, source separation, and spectroscopy. In a parametric recovery problem, the unknown model parameters in each superimposed signal are estimated from noisy observations. Classical methods perform the recovery over directly on the continuous-valued parameter space by solving a nonlinear inverse problem. Recently sparsity-based methods have also been applied to parametric recovery problems. These methods disc...
