Because of the design limitations of conventional high-impedance surfaces (HIS), it is not possible to miniaturize the HIS and increase the bandwidth, simultaneously. To overcome this, a novel HIS is proposed with a periodically perforated ground plane. The magnetic flux flowing through the perforations results in an extra inductance which increases the fractional bandwidth and decreases the center frequency. Since the perforated HIS can also be considered as a defected ground structure (DGS), surface wave suppression can also be achieved by properly determining the geometry of the perforations. Therefore, a bandgap can be obtained without the need of vias, which considerably increase fabrication costs. It is also possible to tune and overlap the reflection phase and surface wave suppression bands. However, due to the rotational asymmetry of the structure, surface wave suppression is achieved in only one direction.

Hybrid-shaped single-loop resonator: a four-band metamaterial structure
Yurduseven, O.; Yilmaz, A. E.; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011-12-08)
The aim of this reported work is to demonstrate the feasibility of a miniaturised four-band metamaterial resonator which has potential use in the design of multiband microwave devices such as four-band mobile phone patch antennas. The suggested resonator topology is called the hybrid-shaped single-loop resonator (HSLR) as its unit cell is formed by the combination of square-shaped and triangular-shaped sections of a single piece metal loop printed on a planar low-loss dielectric substrate. The performance o...
Triple stub circuit topology as simultaneous insertion phase, amplitude and impedance control circuit for phased array applications
Unlu, M.; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-10-23)
This study shows that the well-known triple stub circuit topology can also be used for controlling the insertion phase and amplitude of a given signal simultaneously, as well as preserving its impedance transformation ability. The triple stub circuit topology, which is nothing but an extension of the conventional double stub loaded-line phase shifter, results in one more degree of freedom to its solution when it is solved for its insertion phase. This additional degree of freedom not only brings the impedan...
Inductor Saturation Compensation With Resistive Decoupling for Single-Phase Controlled VSC Systems
ÖZKAN, ZİYA; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01)
In voltage-source converter systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous because of the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional current regulation methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes the saturation compensation with resistive decoupling (SCRD) method to overcome these performance issues. The method converts ...
A monolithic three-axis micro-g micromachined silicon capacitive accelerometer
Chae, J; Külah, Haluk; Najafi, K (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-04-01)
A monolithic three-axis micro-g resolution silicon capacitive accelerometer system utilizing a combined surface and bulk micromachining technology is demonstrated. The accelerometer system consists of three individual single-axis accelerometers fabricated in a single substrate using a common fabrication process. All three devices have 475-mu m-thick silicon proof-mass, large area polysilicon sense/drive electrodes, and small sensing gap (< 1.5 mu m) formed by a sacrificial oxide layer. The fabricated accele...
