A monolithic phased array using 3-bit distributed RF MEMS phase shifters
Topalli, Kagan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Demir, Şimşek; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-02-01)
This paper presents a novel electronically scanning phased-array antenna with 128 switches monolithically implemented using RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The structure, which is designed at 15 GHz, consists of four linearly placed microstrip patch antennas, 3-bit distributed RF MEMS low-loss phase shifters, and a corporate feed network. MEMS switches and high-Q metal-air-metal capacitors are employed as loading elements in the phase shifter. The system is fabricated monolithically usi...
A Monolithic Phased Array with RF MEMS Technology
Sağkol, Hüseyin; Topallı, Kaan; Ünlü, Mehmet; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2002-08-07)
This paper reports a monolithic phased array implemented using RF MEMS technology. The phased array is composed of a linear array of four patch antennas and a new phase shifter design, monolithically integrated into a glass substrate. The new phase shifter design consists of two sections: one continuous and one discrete phase shifter. Combination of these two types makes it possible to give continuous and large phase shifts at the same time. The phase shifter can provide a phase shift of about 95/spl deg/ c...
A monolithic phased array using rf mems technology
Topallı, Kağan; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis presents a novel monolithic phased array implemented using the RF MEMS technology. The structure, which is designed at 15 GHz, consists of four linearly placed microstrip patch antennas, 3-bit distributed RF MEMS low-loss phase shifters, and a corporate feed network. The RF MEMS phase shifter employed in the system consists of three sections with a total of 28 unit cells, and it occupies an area of 22.4 mm 2.1 mm. The performance of the phase shifters is improved using high-Q metal-air-metal ca...
A simple out of plane capacitive MEMS accelerometer utilizing lateral and vertical electrodes for differential sensing
Terzioglu, Yunus; Kose, Talha; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (2015-11-01)
This paper presents an out-of-plane (z-axis) accelerometer, which incorporates the use of two different MEMS capacitive electrode structures in combination for implementing a linear closed-loop system. During the implementation, the complexity of the design and fabrication steps of the sensing element is kept at a minimum. The proposed accelerometer uses capacitive MEMS sensing element fabricated with a 4-mask process. This sensing element includes a comb finger type lateral electrode and a vertical paralle...
