Inkjet-printed frequency-selective structures based on improvedarrangements of U-shaped resonators

2019-10-17
We present design, simulation, and fabrication of thin inkjet-printed frequency-selective structures involving U-shaped resonators. In order to obtain both multiband and polarization-independent operation, resonators are carefully arranged to construct thin structures. The designed arrangements are fabricated in a very low-cost inkjet-printing setup that is based on conventional printers loaded with silver-based inks. Initial results demonstrate favorable properties of the designs and their prototypes, demonstrating the feasibility of low-cost, but effective, frequency-selective structures.

Coarse-to-fine surface reconstruction from silhouettes and range data using mesh deformation
Sahillioğlu, Yusuf; Yemez, Y. (2010-03-01)
We present a coarse-to-fine surface reconstruction method based on mesh deformation to build watertight surface models of complex objects from their silhouettes and range data. The deformable mesh, which initially represents the object visual hull, is iteratively displaced towards the triangulated range surface using the line-of-sight information. Each iteration of the deformation algorithm involves smoothing and restructuring operations to regularize the surface evolution process. We define a non-shrinking...
Experimental analysis of A-shaped magnetic resonator for mu-negative metamaterials
Sabah, Cumali; Urbani, Fabio (2013-05-01)
Numerical simulation and experimental analysis of a novel metamaterial using periodic passive planar structure composed of A-shaped inclusions are presented. Experimental and computational results are shown to be in very good agreement. The A-shaped inclusions operate as magnetic resonators providing negative permeability behavior as a result of the magnetic resonance arising from the self and mutual coupling of the inclusions. Issues related to the unit cell dimension versus operation wavelength are also a...
Inkjet-Printed Pixel Antennas with Hexagonal Cells
Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Guler, Sadri; İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-03-24)
We present a new type of pixel antennas involving hexagonal unit cells that are suitable for fabrication in low-cost inkjet-printing setups. Antennas are optimized in a rigorous simulation environment based on the multilevel fast multipole algorithm integrated into genetic algorithms. Hexagonal cells are suitable for both the optimization environment and fabrication setup. Optimizations are performed particularly to design radio-frequency-identification tags, by removing pixels from a given template to achi...
Improved Nano-optical Traps for Single-particle Sensing Applications
Isiklar, G.; Algun, M.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01)
We present numerical design and simulations of nano-optical traps for single-particle sensing applications. While commonly used nano-holes with circular shapes are suitable for physically trapping nanoparticles to be detected and identified, they generate relatively weak signals in the far zone, especially when nanoparticles are small. We show that optical sensitivity of nano-holes can be enhanced significantly by using well-designed tip geometries such that metallic and dielectric nanoparticles can be dete...
