In this article, an ultra-wideband metasurface lens is designed and integrated into an antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) to improve its radiation directivity without affecting its efficiency and return loss characteristics. The metasurface lens consists of high permittivity metamaterial unit cells which resonate at frequencies far away from the operation bandwidth of 1-6 GHz. Electric field distributions of the antennas show that the near-field behaves more planar for the metasurface lens loaded AVA, as compared to conventional AVA. Both the original antenna and the newly proposed antenna are simulated, fabricated, and tested. The measurements are found in very good agreement with the simulation results. In the operation bandwidth of 1-6 GHz, the return loss is less than -10 dB for both antennas. As verified by far-field measurements, the metasurface loaded AVA has achieved higher gain in the operation bandwidth. Additionally, the half power beamwidth of the AVA is significantly reduced by the inclusion of the metasurface lens.

Metamaterial absorber-based sensor embedded into X-band waveguide SABAH, CUMALİ; TURKMEN-KUCUKSARİ, OZNUR; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2014-07-17) A novel metamaterial sensor, integrated with an X-band waveguide, is proposed for high-resolution measurements of variations in the dielectric constant and/or the thickness of a superstrate layer that covers a pair of absorber unit cells. Variations in superstrate parameters are potentially caused by physical, chemical or biological factors, and can be detected by measuring the corresponding shifts in the resonance frequency of the metamaterial sensor. It is estimated by simulation results that resolution l...
Dynamic range enhancements in radio receivers by means of frequency retranslation Nesimoglu, T.; Charalampopoulos, Z.; Warr, P. A.; Beach, M. A. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-03-20) In this study, a receiver architecture is presented that may be used for linearisation or for large signal interference suppression. In linearisation mode, an error signal that consists of intermodulation distortion products is obtained and used for predistorting the receiver. Experimental results demonstrate > 16 dB improvement of third-order input intercept point when used in a superheterodyne topology. When used in a direct conversion receiver topology, 7-dB improvement of second-order input intercept po...
Inductor Saturation Compensation With Resistive Decoupling for Single-Phase Controlled VSC Systems ÖZKAN, ZİYA; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01) In voltage-source converter systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous because of the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional current regulation methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes the saturation compensation with resistive decoupling (SCRD) method to overcome these performance issues. The method converts ...
Single and dual band quantum well infrared photodetector focal plane arrays on inp substrates Eker, Süleyman Umut; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Excellent uniformity and mature material properties of Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIPs) have allowed the realization of large format, low cost staring focal plane arrays (FPAs) in various thermal imaging bands. AlGaAs/InGaAs and AlGaAs/GaAs materials systems have been the standard systems for the construction of mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long-wavelength (LWIR) QWIPs. However AlGaAs/GaAs QWIP FPAs suffer from low quantum and conversion efficiencies under high frame rate (low integration ...
Design of dual polarized wideband microstrip antennas Yıldırım, Meltem; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a wideband dual polarized microstrip antenna is designed, manufactured and measured. Slot coupled patch antenna structure is considered in order to achieve the wideband characteristic. Although rectangular shaped slot coupled patch antennas are widely used in most of the applications, their utilization in dual polarized antenna structures is not feasible due to space limitations regarding the positioning of two separate coupling slots for each polarization. For a rectangular slot, the parame...
