Electronic conductivity is a parameter that exhibits the free-electron transportation ability of a material. The radiation efficiency of reflector type antennas and insertion loss of waveguide transmission lines are directly related to the conductivity of the materials used to construct such structures. Signal quality of antenna and waveguides in the transmission of electromagnetic waves are also very much dependent on the surface finish that has good conductivity [1]. The use of pulse currents produces homogenous deposits of better surface finish than direct current [2,3]. Effects of pulse parameters on the surface properties of silver coatings of the copper base material have been analyzed in terms of surface roughness and S-parameter (scattering parameter). Grain morphologies of silver coatings were characterized by SEM and XRD. The duty cycle, frequency and the average current density were selected as three pulse parameters. Three levels were selected for each parameter in the experimental design. A relationship was developed for surface finish in terms of duty cycle, average current density and pulse frequency. The S11 scattering parameter observations were made relative to a gold-plated reference coupon. It was analyzed that smoother surfaces had more reflection power in terms of S11 parameter thus decreasing the loss of radiation. Therefore, the results may be used to develop a silver coating procedure to improve signal quality of antenna and waveguides in the transmission of electromagnetic waves.

Effects of pulse parameters on surface properties of silver coatings on copper substrates Başaran, Caner; Karakaya, İshak; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) Electronic conductivity is a parameter that exhibits the free-electron transportation ability of a material. The radiation efficiency and insertion loss are directly related to the conductivity of the materials used in the systems like antennas, waveguides, power dividers, couplers, active circuit elements etc. operating at Millimeter-Wave (mmW) and Terahertz (THz) frequencies. The signal quality of systems operating at ultrahigh frequencies for the transmission of electromagnetic waves is very much depende...
Effects of array guided surface waves on radiation characteristics of a finite planar printed dipole array Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Pathak, PH (2004-06-26) The presence of surface waves different from the conventional grounded dielectric substrate surface wave modes, which can be excited on a finite periodic radiating array of printed dipoles, at frequencies for which the spacing between dipoles is typically less than half a wavelength is studied. The effects of such array guided surface waves on the array radiation characteristics are investigated. Techniques to suppress these surface waves are also discussed.
Analytical and Experimental Study on Actuation Time of Displacement Amplified Electromagnetic Actuator Nabae, Hiroyuki; Karaguzel, A. Tugay; Endo, Gen; Suzumori, Koichi (2017-07-07) This paper describes an analytical study undertaken on an electromagnetic actuator design with a displacement amplification mechanism by explaining the physical modeling and formulizing the actuation time of the actuator in terms of physical model variables. This is followed by an experimental investigation on the actuation time of the electromagnetic actuator. Increasing the gap between the electromagnet and armatures to increase the stroke of the electromagnetic actuator resulted in a drastic loss of the ...
Powder metal development for electrical motor applications Bayramli, E; Golgelioglu, O; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2005-04-10) In this paper, first the development process of a soft magnetic composite material for use in motor applications is described. Various mixtures are prepared to identify an optimum mix. It is found that highest packing is achieved for a mixing ratio of 45 % of 170 mesh particle size with 55 % 325 mesh particle size. The coating of the particles is obtained by using the "wetting method". The mechanical properties of the samples; such as stress versus strain, Strain% versus composition%, etc. are given, also s...
EFFECT OF HEAT TREATMENT PARAMETERS ON THE Q-FACTOR OF FE-NI SUPERALLOYS Tanrısevdi, Ali Emre; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-2-3) Q-factor or quality factor is a dimensionless parameter that indicates loses of energy in a mechanical structure. It is a phenomenon commonly used in coils, condensers, resonant circuits, resonant devices, transmission lines and gyroscopes. High Q-factor materials are used in space, defence and aviation industry. Low energy loss during oscillation of material connotes high Q-factor. Utilization of high Q-factor materials in commercial applications necessitate easily accessible metallic materials to be used ...
