A novel microwave power divider/combiner structure is presented in this paper. The analysis of the structure is based on the exact matching conditions at input/output ports and a perfect isolation condition between the dividing/combining arms (ports). To analyze the structure, the necessary set of nonlinear equations is derived first, and then solved. For a special case an all-50 Ω structure is obtained (the characteristic impedances of the transmission line sections and the value of the isolation resistance are all 50 Ω). The presented divider/combiner structure is simulated, and simulation results are seen in perfect agreement with the calculation. As a final step, a planar 3-dB power divider is fabricated on GML 1000 substrate (εr = 3.05, h ≅ 0.508mm) and a good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is obtained.

This thesis is about the designing and constructing a microwave ion source. The ions are generated in a thermal and dense hydrogen plasma by microwave induction. The plasma is generated by using a microwave source with a frequency of 2.45 GHz and a power of 700 W. The generated microwave is pulsing with a frequency of 50 Hz. The designed and constructed microwave system generates hydrogen plasma in a pyrex plasma chamber. Moreover, an ion extraction unit is designed and constructed in order to extract the i...
On modelling of microwave heating of a ceramic material
KOZLOV, P. V.; Rafatov, İsmail; KULUMBAEV, E. B.; LELEVKIN, V. M. (2007-05-07)
A simple model is proposed and tested for simulations of ceramic processing by microwave heating. The model is based on a piecewise constant approximation of the material properties and makes it possible to separate and analyse different effects caused by the sample shape and the dependence of the material properties on temperature. Specifically, the simulation results demonstrate that microwave heating of an alumina sample can be very sensitive to a variation of its dielectric constant with temperature. Fo...

Koyuncuoğlu, Aziz; Zorlu, Özge; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Külah, Haluk (2013-07-15)
This paper presents a novel hybrid piezoelectric-pyroelectric energy harvester using a cantilever beam with a PZT tip mass. The cantilever is moving between two surfaces with different temperatures under external vibration. PZT ceramic is used as the piezoelectric material, which also has pyroelectric characteristics. By using the pyroelectric effect along with the piezoelectric one, the output RMS voltage of the PZT ceramic was enhanced up to 10% under 50°C ΔT.
