In this paper, design, simulation, production and measurement of a coplanar broad-band microstrip antenna printed on an alumina ceramic substrate is presented. Antenna may be used as an element in a radar applications operating at X-band (8 GHz-12 GHz). The antenna driven system consists of one more directors because of the requirements of directivity. The reason of using high dielectric substrates the antenna can be printed on very small spaces. Antenna in Package structure's temperatures rising up rapidly in radar applications so the use of ceramic substrates also has the advantage of using the antenna in high temperature conditions. The whole structure achieves a measured 52% frequency bandwidth for voltage standing-wave ratio <= 2 and 8-10 dBi absolute gain. The minimum line widths on the antenna is about 25 mu m so thin film technology is used in the fabrication process importance of the antenna.

Design of magneto-electric dipole antenna for wideband communication systems Alparslan, Semih; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) This thesis includes the design, simulation, production and measurement of a differential fed magneto-electric dipole antenna with cavity operating at ultrawideband (3.3 GHz – 10 GHz). This antenna consists of a differential feeding structure, an electric dipole, a magnetic dipole and a cavity. The ultra-wideband operation is achieved through the use of differential feeding structure and cavity. A step-by-step procedure is followed during the design process of the differential fed magneto-electric dipole an...
Design of pattern reconfigurable antenna employing RF-MEMS switches Gök, Çağlar; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8-17) In this thesis, the design, simulations, fabrication and measurements of reconfigurable antennas for use in 5G Massive MIMO systems are presented. 26 GHz is chosen as the operating frequency and RF-MEMS switches are used as control elements for pattern reconfiguration. As a first step, a patch antenna is designed based on the excitation of different operation modes of different resonators. A circular patch in the center and a ring resonator structure around it are used to create different radiation patterns...
Design and development of fiber optic MEMS microphone measurement system Karaca, Ekin Muharrem; Bayram, Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis, fiber optic MEMS microphone measurement system is designed and demonstrated. The displacement of the sensing element of the fiber optic microphone, the membrane, together with the optical components are 3-D modeled and simulated by means of finite element methods. The parameters of the optical system under different measurement conditions are optimized according to the simulation results. Based on the simulation results, the measurement system setup is designed, constructed and functionalize...
Design of dual polarized wideband microstrip antennas Yıldırım, Meltem; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a wideband dual polarized microstrip antenna is designed, manufactured and measured. Slot coupled patch antenna structure is considered in order to achieve the wideband characteristic. Although rectangular shaped slot coupled patch antennas are widely used in most of the applications, their utilization in dual polarized antenna structures is not feasible due to space limitations regarding the positioning of two separate coupling slots for each polarization. For a rectangular slot, the parame...
Design of asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antennas / Karaciğer, Kamil; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This thesis includes the design, simulation, production and measurement of an asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antenna suitable to be used as an element in a linear array operating at S-band (2.7 GHz - 3.3 GHz). In this same manner, its usefulness as an array antenna is also explored in this thesis. This antenna element consists of a microstrip line feed, microstrip to coplanar stripline transition (BALUN) and asymmetric coplanar strip (ACPS) folded dipole. The planar folded dipole can be constructed...
