© 2021 IEEE.We present design, simulation, and measurement of passive microwave reflectors that are optimized for field coverage in high-frequency communication applications. The reflectors are designed in an optimization environment based on genetic algorithms and full-wave simulations. Optimally corrugated surfaces are fabricated via 3D printers and coated with conductive paint to obtain compact and lightweight prototypes that successfully demonstrate desired reflection characteristics. The results show both the success of the proposed design procedure and the feasibility of compact reflectors that can be suitable for new-generation communications.

Design and Simulation of Passive Reflecting Surfaces for 5G Applications Karaova, Gokhan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2021-01-01) 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 multigri...
DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF QUARTER-WAVE ABSORBER STRUCTURE FOR UNCOOLED INFRARED DETECTORS WITH HIGH FILL FACTOR Cetin, Ramazan; Erturk, Ozan; Akın, Tayfun (2018-09-14) This study presents design, analysis, optimization, and fabrication of umbrella structures as an efficient quarter wave absorber within the Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) range for uncooled IR detectors. Both the effect of the ni-chrome (NiCr) layer and effect of varying pixel pitch sizes on the IR absorption performance of the umbrella structures are examined. An average of 96% absorption is measured for the optimized case within the LWIR range.
Design, Simulation, and Measurement of Microwave Beam-Generating Structures with Near-Zero-Index Characteristics Eris, Ozgur; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2021-01-01) © 2021 IEEE.We present design, simulation, and measurement of microwave beam generators that consist of dielectric rods. The structures are based on near-zero-index (NZI) properties of rod arrays when they are designed and arranged in specific configurations to induce near-zero permittivity and/or permeability in the host media. Once NZI properties are achieved, directive beams can be generated by relatively simple shell structures that sur-round isotropic sources. In order to obtain customized patterns, we...
Design and analysis of ultrashort femtosecond laser amplifiers Doğan, Ersin; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2006) This thesis presents a compact femtosecond laser amplifier design for optical preamplifiers and power amplifiers consist of theoretical perspective, simulations to analyze and optimize beam performance. The propagation through optical media is simulated for every optical component such as mirrors and nonlinear crystal separately and suggested realignment of these components required increasing amplifier performance. Finally Gaussian beam propagation and aberration compensation has been conducted.
Design, Simulation, and Fabrication of Broadband Inkjet-Printed Log-Periodic Antennas Dolapci, Turker; Mutlu, Feza; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-09-27) We present design and computational analysis of log-periodic antennas that are fabricated by using low-cost inkjet printing technology. The designed antennas operate in the 1.5-2.5 GHz range and are suitable for diverse applications, including energy harvesting at WiFi and GSM bands. Suitable designs are fabricated by using silver-based inks in standard commercial printers. Despite the challenges in both design and fabrication processes, we demonstrate log-periodic antennas with desired operating properties...
