In this paper, design and implementation of a compact, low-profile and low-cost altimeter antenna is presented. A top-open dielectric waveguide is utilized to obtain a radiation pattern that illuminates from 20 to 70 degrees on the elevation plane. The proposed antenna pair can be used efficiently as a radar altimeter antenna in the course of landing. The antenna can cope with high skin temperatures, especially in supersonic flights because a high-temperature resistant dielectric material is used. Satisfactory results are obtained from EM simulations and antenna measurements.

A 35 GHz coplanar waveguide power divider Gürbüz, Ozan Doǧan; Topalli, Kagan; Ünlü, Mehmet; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2010-12-20) This text presents the design and measurement of a power divider topology implemented using coplanar waveguides by micromachining technology. The power divider is a three port structure. For simple three port power divider structures significant modifications are needed for changing power division ratio. For the proposed one in this paper the ratio can be adjusted by changing only the lengths of shunt stubs included in the structure. The design is at 35 GHz and the implementation is done by coplanar wavegui...
A compact corporate probe fed antenna array Secmen, Mustafa; Demir, Şimşek; Alatan, Lale; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Hizal, Altunkan (2006-01-01) This paper presents a linear antenna array system with a compact corporate feed network. The antenna elements are probe fed circularly polarized microstrip patch antennas. By using probe feed topology, it is possible to combine all the antenna elements on the backside of the array. Besides, the overall size of the feed network is reduced with the proposed special corporate feed topology. An 8×1 linear array is designed and produced as the building block of a larger 2D array. The antenna array's return loss,...
A Bulk-Micromachined Three-Axis Capacitive MEMS Accelerometer on a Single Die TEZ, SERDAR; Aykutlu, Ulas; Torunbalci, Mustafa Mert; Akın, Tayfun (2015-10-01) This paper presents a high-performance three-axis capacitive microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer implemented by fabricating individual lateral and vertical differential accelerometers in the same die. The fabrication process is based on the formation of a glass-silicon-glass multi-stack. First, a 35-mu m thick < 111 > silicon structural layer of an Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) wafer is patterned with deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and attached on a base glass substrate with anodic bonding, wh...
A high-performance silicon-on-insulator MEMS gyroscope operating at atmospheric pressure Alper, Said Emre; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV, 2007-03-30) This paper presents a new, high-performance silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MEMS gyroscope with decoupled oscillation modes. The gyroscope structure allows it to achieve matched-resonance-frequencies, large drive-mode oscillation amplitude, high sense-mode quality factor, and low mechanical cross-talk. The gyroscope is fabricated through the commercially available SOIMUMPS process of MEMSCAP Inc. The fabricated gyroscope has minimum capacitive sense gaps of 2.6 mu m and a structural silicon thickness of 25 mu m,...
A Compact Angular Rate Sensor System Using a Fully Decoupled Silicon-on-Glass MEMS Gyroscope Alper, Said Emre; Temiz, Yuksel; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-12-01) This paper presents the development of a compact single-axis angular rate sensor system employing a 100-mu m-thick single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical systems gyroscope with an improved decoupling arrangement between the drive and sense modes. The improved decoupling arrangement of the gyroscope enhances the robustness of sensing frame against drive-mode oscillations and therefore minimizes mechanical crosstalk between the drive and sense modes, yielding a small bias instability. The gyroscope cor...
