Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Liquid Metal-Tunable Miniaturized Bimodal Cavity for Enhanced Measurement Accuracy in the Ism Bands(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Karatay, Anil; Yaman, FatihEnhancing measurement accuracy or reducing the effect of the neighboring modes in resonant cavities may necessitate the separation of mode frequencies. However, in ISM-band measurement configurations utilizing a rectangular or cylindrical cavity, the placement of the first two modes at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz is unattainable, necessitating the presence of additional modes in between that would potentially degrade measurement accuracy. This article begins with an analytical approach, employing Lagrange multipliers for the first time to reveal the level of separation achievable in the frequency domain between the initial two modes within these types of conventional cavities. The analytical results were also verified with a numerical grid search. Subsequently, innovative strategies have been introduced to surpass this intrinsic constraint that reduces the measurement accuracy in various applications. A novel miniaturized cavity configuration has been proposed to operate bimodally at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz and manufactured with a 3-D printer. It has been ensured that there are no physical modes present in between, and measurements of the structure have been conducted. Another notable innovation of the article is the capability of tuning the proposed cavity structure by means of liquid metal displacement. Thus, a more flexible tuning method compared to mechanical tuning techniques can be achieved, enabling precise adjustment of the desired measurement frequency. Good agreement between the simulation and measurement results has been reported.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1An Origami-Inspired Low-Cost Waveguide Design, Fabrication and Measurements for X-Band Satellite Communication Systems(IEEE, 2023) Karatay, Anıl; Ataç, Enes; Yaman, FatihIn many applications such as satellite communication, transmission lines are required and waveguides are widely used in these applications. This passive component, which is an indispensable element of microwave systems, is generally not suitable for practical and low-cost applications due to being produced from costly and heavy metals. Therefore, nowadays, the tendency to use low-cost, light and practical components has increased. In this study, origami-inspired waveguide design for X-band satellite communication systems is aimed. This component, which is formed by folding a paper into a three-dimensional structure and covering it with a conductive material, is both practical and fast to produce, portable and adjustable. The obtained simulation results match well with the experimental results, and it has been proven that the paper-based waveguide performs as well as the conventional aluminum waveguide. This makes the proposed method an innovative and cost-effective solution for waveguide fabrication.
