This thesis reports the analysis of the rectangular shaped defected ground structure (RS-DGS) and the application of the structure on some microwave devices. DGS is analyzed in terms of its superior properties, which enables the designers to easily realize many kind of microwave devices which are impossible to achieve with the standard applications. Within the scope of this thesis, the focus is on the rectangular shaped DGS and its characteristic properties. The basic slow wave and high impedance characteristics are utilized in the design of some microwave devices. The design is carried on at the two different frequency bands: X-band and Ka band, centering at 10 GHz and 35 GHz, respectively. Finally, using the high impedance property and the coupling between the defects, a wide band 1 : 4 beam forming network is designed and implemented at 10 GHz.

Analysis of slot coupled microstrip patch antennas
Ballıkaya, Elif; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Method of Moments (MoM)/Green’s function formulation is developed for the analysis of electromagnetic radiation from planar rectangular microstrip antennas with different feeding techniques. Investigated structures are microstrip line fed patch antenna, proximity coupled patch antenna and slot coupled patch antenna. For all these structures equivalent problems are defined. Then, integral equations where currents are the unknowns are obtained from boundary conditions and by using spectral domain representati...
Performance of pseudo-random and quasi-cyclic low density parity check codes
Kazancı, Onur Hüsnü; Diker Yücel, Melek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
The feasibility of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) through the wall surveillance system is studied in this thesis. The transmitter and receiver architectures are discussed and an experimental set-up is constructed to verify the theory of UWB sensing. The constructed system has 80 mW peak, 6 uW average transmit power and 500 kHz PRF and a range resolution better than 1 cm. Using the experimental set-up, two problems are examined. The first problem is the respiration rate detection problem. It has been shown that the r...
A new stack architecture for sensor networks
Eroğlu, Muammer; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, a new stack architecture for sensor networks is proposed. The stack consists of the following layers: application, query, aggregation, network, MAC and physical. Various algorithms are implemented using this stack and it is shown that this stack is modular. Following an overview of sensor networks, the previous protocol stack suggestions for sensor networks are examined. Sensor network algorithms that can be classified as sensor data management systems are surveyed and compared with each oth...

Parallel decodable channel coding implemented on a MIMO testbed
Aktaş, Tuğcan; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis considers the real-time implementation phases of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The parts which are related to the implementation detail the blocks realized on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board and define the connections between these blocks and typical radio frequency front-end modules assisting the wireless communication. Two sides of the implemented communication testbed are discussed separately as the transmitter and the receiver parts. In a...
