A new Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system, which is a combination of Optical Fiber Sensor (OFS), GPR and optical communication link, is developed to determine the depth and the position of the buried circular cylinder. Optical Fiber Sensor offers the advantage of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) immunity and low amplification noise. In this study the electric field distribution at the OFS caused by the Continuous Radio Wave (CRW), which is transmitted from the GPR antenna, is obtained mathematically and its corresponding OFS output voltage measurement is simulated. Various plots are obtained by changing the depth of the cylinder and the operation frequency of the system. Plots exhibit a relation between x axis displacement and measured OFS voltages, and the resultant interference fringe patterns are analyzed. The depth and the position of the cylinder can be determined using interference fringe patterns. © 2012 IEEE.

Simulation of locating buried objects via fringe pattern-based measurements in an optical fiber sensor-integrated continuous-wave ground-penetrating radar system ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT; Bulur, Hatice Gonca (2015-01-01) A new ground-penetrating radar system that can determine the depth and position of a buried metal cylinder, which is the combination of an optical fiber sensor (OFS), continuous-wave transmitter, and optical communication link, is proposed and simulated in the MATLAB and Optiwave program packages. Employing an optical sensor instead of a standard radio frequency (RF) receiver offers the advantage of preventing electromagnetic interference along the sensor's main unit cable and lower amplification noise.

Radiation characteristics of slot excited cylindrical antenna coated by layered anisotropic material Aydin, O; Hizal, A (1996-05-16) This paper presents the radiation characteristics of a slot antenna on a conducting circular cylinder coated with an anisotropic layer. Full wave equations in a cylindrical anisotropic medium are derived from transversal field equations using Fourier series in azimuth /spl phi/ and Fourier transform in axial coordinate z. The solution is expressed in terms of state transition matrices which are evaluated numerically. Formulation can be easily generalized to multilayered cylindrical structures. Effects of ch...
Design and Implementation of Transmitting and Receiving Antenna Pair on Flat Ring Surface 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.
Frequency tunable microstrip patch antenna using RF MEMS technology Erdıl, Emre; Topallı, Kagan; Unlu, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2007-04-01) A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is presented that is monolithically integrated with RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitors for tuning the resonant frequency. Reconfigurability of the operating frequency of the microstrip patch antenna is achieved by loading it with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) stub on which variable MEMS capacitors are placed periodically. MEMS capacitors are implemented with surface micromachining technology, where a 1-mu m thick aluminum structural layer is plac...
Study of strain measurement by fiber optic sensors with a sensitive fiber loop ringdown spectrometer Kaya, M.; Esentürk, Okan (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) A sensitive fiber loop ringdown (FLRD) spectrometer without any additional optical component was utilized to obtain strain measurement on a single mode fiber optic sensor. The strain data were obtained by employing the theory of bending loss in single mode fibers. The best sensitivity of the sensors was obtained as 5.99 με with an 80.0 cm long sensor head when the sensor heads were stretched at the midpoint. The spectrometer system had a baseline-stability of 0.22%. Stretching the sensor head from off-midpo...
