Design and simulation of passive reflectors to be used in 5G applications are presented. An optimization environment is constructed based on genetic algorithms (GAs) and a full-wave solver to obtain compact reflectors that possess various reflection characteristics in accordance with given design specifications. In addition to their triangulated models for simulations, reflectors are represented by Bezier surfaces on the optimization side to reach smooth designs that are suitable for fabrication. A multigrid approach is further used to increase the effectiveness of the optimization trials via a systematic deformation of surfaces from coarse shaping to fine tuning. The results demonstrate the feasibility of achieving diverse reflection characteristics with relatively compact reflectors, as well as the effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategy.

Design, fabrication, and measurement of efficient beam-shaping reflectors for 5G mm-wave applications Karaova, Gökhan Çağlayan; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-5) In this study, an optimization procedure to design corrugated passive metallic reflectors for the fifth-generation millimeter wave (5G mm-wave) applications, as well as the fabrication and measurement of the designed reflectors, are presented. Such reflecting surfaces can be used as passive repeaters in both indoor and outdoor applications to change the field coverage by redirecting incident beams into desired directions with controllable power distributions. The design procedure includes a heuristic optimi...
Design and Optimization of Nanoantennas for Nano-Optical Applications Işıklar, Göktuğ; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-9) In this study, design and simulation of plasmonic nanoantenna structures to obtain high power enhancement capabilities at optical frequencies, as well as utilization of nanoantennas for imaging and sensing applications are presented. Plasmonic characteristics of nanoantennas, which depend on many parameters, such as material, frequency, geometry, and size, are investigated in detail via computational analyses of various nanoantenna structures.

Development of multiband microstrip antennas for GPS applications Önder, Mustafa Caner; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis study, the design, fabrication and measurements of dualband and triband circularly polarized microstrip antennas for GPS applications are presented. Characteristic mode analysis technique is applied to get an insight into circularly polarized patch antennas. A design flow is presented for a circularly polarized L1 GPS band microstrip antenna by using characteristic mode analysis. A single fed L1/L2 GPS band right hand circularly polarized four-slotted patch antenna is designed by using reacti...
Design and optimization of nano-optical couplers for controlling transmission between electrically isolated nanowires Karaova, Gokhan; Tahan, Utku; Atmaz, Tuna; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-09-01) © 2019 IEEE.We present design, optimization, and simulation of effective nano-optical couplers to control power transmission in nanowire networks. The couplers consist of careful arrangements of nanoparticles that are designed in an optimization environment based on genetic algorithms and a full-wave solver. The nanowire segments are electrically isolated from each other, leading to more reconfigurable and adaptable systems. We show that, even in the absence of direct contacts between nanowires, high-perfor...
