This paper investigates the impact of defected ground structures (DGS) on the operational bandwidth of microwave circuits. Branch line hybrids were selected to investigate DGS. Three types of branch line hybrids were studied with both hardware and simulation results; a standard branch line hybrid, one using tapered lines and another one using DGS. An optimum model in terms of location, size and number of DGS has been proposed to achieve the widest operational bandwidth. Not only by simulation results, but also with measurements, it has been observed that correct usage of DGS and tapered lines can enhance the bandwidth of a narrowband microwave circuit.

Impact of defected ground structures on the bandwidth of quarter wave impedance transformers and branch line hybrids
Polater, Ahmet Mert; Nesimoglu, Tayfun (Wiley, 2016-05-01)
In this article, impedance transformers and branch line hybrids are selected to demonstrate the impact of defected ground structures on the operational bandwidth of microwave circuits. Three different branch line hybrids are studied with simulations and laboratory measurements, these are; a standard branch line hybrid, one using tapered lines and another one using both tapered lines and DGS. Based on these results, an optimum design in terms of location, size and number of DGS was proposed to achieve the wi...
Effect of record processing schemes on damage potential of near field earthquakes
Akkar, S; Gulkan, P (1999-06-10)
This paper presents the effects of data correction procedures for near field earthquakes in terms of damage potential calculations. For this purpose the horizontal components of the 13 March 1992 Erzincan earthquake are re-corrected by two different data correction schemes. Among the data processing techniques chosen, the first method applies low- and high-pass filtering while the second one uses segmented polynomials for correcting the raw data. The drift spectrum is used as the index for damage potential ...
Impact of high-level distributed generation penetration on the transmission system transient stability
Kurt, Burçak; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
This thesis investigates the impact of high-level penetration of distributed generation especially from the renewable energy sources on the transient stability of the transmission system. Distributed generation is a source of electric power connected to the distribution network or on the consumer side. It is expected that distributed generation grows significantly by the increasing environmental concerns and deregulation in the market. As soon as the increasing penetration level, distributed generation star...
Effect of microwave and conventional sintering on properties of soft magnetic Ni-Fe alloys
Erdem, Derya; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2011-01-01)
In this study, soft magnetic Ni-Fe permalloy compacts were consolidated through microwave and conventional sintering routes at combinations of various sintering temperatures and compaction pressures. Sintered alloys were characterized in terms of their densification, microstructural evolution as well as magnetic and machanical properties. The effect of sintering method in terms of the applied sintering parameters on the final properties of the compacts were investigated in a comparative manner. It was deter...
Development of an In-house Computer Code for the Thermal Analysis of Satellites Using Thermal Network Method and Method of Lines
Uygur, Ahmet Bilge; Isik, Hasan Guerguec; Solakoglu, Erhan; Yazicioglu, Almila Guevenc (2009-06-13)
This paper discusses the development of an in-house computer code for the thermal analysis of satellites. The code uses Thermal Network Method (TNM) in conjunction with the Method of Lines (MOL) for the solution of the energy equation in the presence of radiative heat transfer. The predictive accuracy of the code is demonstrated on a test problem involving a cubic satellite with two solar panels and a single representative payload at its center to account for all other possible equipments in the satellite. ...
