Çelik, Feza Turgay
In this study, a double-loop resonant type dual-band quasi-Yagi microstrip antenna array is designed. The numerical and experimental analyses are done and the prototype is produced. The antenna array is fed by Binomial weighting to reduce the sidelobes. Operating frequencies are chosen as the free unlicensed Wi-Fi band (2.4-2.48 GHz) and one of the planned 5G band for Europe Zone (3.4-3.8 GHz). The main aim is to have a directive radiation pattern for the higher frequency band and an Omni-like radiation pattern for the lower frequency band. The antenna array is produced for smart houses applications in which indoor devices can be monitored by the operators via 5G, remotely. In the unit cell design, the larger rectangular loop stands for the lower frequency radiation and the smaller one is for the higher frequency band. The proposed design is validated by High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and also measurements are carried out on the proposed prototype.

Dual-polarised T/R antenna system suitable for FMCW altimeter radar applications
Secmen, M.; Demir, S.; Hizal, A. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2006-10-01)
The authors propose a dual-polarised T/R antenna system that utilises a 3 dB 90 degrees hybrid coupler and a dual-polarised antenna. From the practical point of view the T/R isolation performance of this system can be made better than that of systems using circulators. There is no power loss both in transmit and receive modes compared to 6 dB total loss in a conventional system using a hybrid coupler and a single polarised antenna. To validate the system performance, a sample structure is realised for a C b...
Wideband omnidirectional and sector coverage antenna arrays for base stations
Alatan, Lale (2018-01-01)
By using parallel strip line fed printed dipole antennas as array elements, an omnidirectional antenna array and a wide angle sector coverage array operating in octave band are designed. A maximum deviation of ±1.25 dB from the omnidirectional pattern is achieved for the omnidirectional array, and the average gain of the antenna was measured as being 5 dB in the 1.35–2.7GHz band. For the sector coverage array, a special reflector design is utilized to maintain a half power beam width of around 115◦ with a s...
Dual frequency bi-orthogonally polarized antenna for GPS applications
Alatan, Lale; Mahale, A; Balasubramanian, A; Olin, RP (2000-01-01)
Design, fabrication and testing of dual frequency bi-orthogonally polarized microstrip patch antenna structures for GPS receivers are studied. The considered configurations include orthogonally placed coplanar rectangular patches, orthogonally stacked rectangular patches and stacked square patches. Designed antennas are fabricated according to the optimized parameters, tuned in the presence of radomes and then measured for their bandwidth, input matching, radiation pattern, gain, and polarization characteri...
Multi-Point Single-Antenna Sensing Enabled by Wireless Nested Split-Ring Resonator Sensors
Ozbey, Burak; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET; Kurç, Özgür; ALTINTAŞ, AYHAN; DEMİR, Hilmi Volkan (2016-11-01)
In this paper, simultaneous multi-point wireless sensing is proposed and demonstrated via multiple sensors in nested split-ring resonator (NSRR) geometry coupled to a single illuminator antenna. In this passive multi-point sensing system, each probe in the sensor array is assigned a non-overlapping spectral interval for frequency shift in response to local mechanical loading around a unique operating resonance frequency in the band of the antenna. Here, it is shown that the antenna is capable of capturing t...
Dual polarized slotted waveguide array antenna
Doğan, Doğanay; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
An X band dual polarized slotted waveguide antenna array is designed with very high polarization purity for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. Horizontally polarized radiators are designed using a novel non-inclined edge wall slots whereas the vertically polarized slots are implemented using broad wall slots opened on baffled single ridge rectangular waveguides. Electromagnetic model based on an infinite array unit cell approach is introduced to characterize the slots used in the array. 20 by 10 el...
