Article Thermally Reconfigurable Quad-Port MIMO Antenna With Independent Frequency Tuning(Elsevier GmbH, 2025) Karatay, Anil; Atac, EnesIn this paper, the design, simulations, and measurements of a thermally reconfigurable, compact, high-isolation, microstrip multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna are presented. We propose a quad-port microstrip antenna sharing the same metallic circular patch. The fully microstrip-based structure provides cost and fabrication advantages over the contemporary counterparts in the literature, and the ability to independently tune the frequencies of the ports allows the assignment of desired frequency bands to each port. The proposed antenna achieves frequency reconfigurability by solely adjusting the angles of the thermally-controlled shape-memory alloy-assisted structures offering more practical and cost-effective tuning compared to the conventional methods. It is well-suited for modern communication applications, as each port covers a unique spatial angle and has sufficient cross-polarization suppression.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4A Symmetrical Self-Diplexing Microstrip Antenna With Eight-Shaped Defects(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Karatay, AnılThis article aims to demonstrate the simulation and measurement results of a two-port and symmetrical microstrip antenna operating at 6.6 and 7 GHz frequencies. The essential advantages of the antenna in terms of numerical electromagnetism are that the geometry has a small electrical length at both frequencies, does not use a structure that requires extra computational load such as substrate integrated waveguide, and is symmetrical, thus reducing the mesh requirement by half. The proposed antenna was manufactured with the chemical etching method and the measurement results were presented. In addition, varying operating frequencies are shown with the aid of liquid metal to experimentally demonstrate the independent redesign/reconfigurability feature of the antenna. To further reduce the fabrication cost, the manufacturing process of the proposed antenna with the help of a 3D printer is explained, and the performance parameters are compared. Good agreement between simulations and measurements has been reported.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Implementation and Experimental Verifications of Microstrip Antennas for Angular Scanning of a Doppler Radar(Elsevier, 2019) Karatay, Anıl; Orcan, Durmuş; Özkal, Ceren; Yaman, FatihThe aim of this study is to improve operational capabilities and range of the MIT-Coffee Can Doppler radar via aperture coupled Vivaldi type transmitter antenna, patch array receiver antenna, and an unequal power divider. Accordingly, a mechanical angular scanning feature for tracking multi-targets and the system integration of lightweight microstrip structures are realized for the radar. A narrow beamwidth in the receiver and a well impedance matching on the overall system to reduce return losses are achieved for the considered application. Good agreements between simulations and measurements for the fabricated antennas/divider and a successful integration of the antennas to the existing system for finding a moving target angular location is reported. It is shown that through wall identification and target velocity at scanned regions can be obtained with the proposed hardware configuration. Simulation results of antenna parameters for various number of array elements are listed which could be a useful tool for different engineering applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier GmbH.

A high-beta, 9-cell elliptical cavity, whose pi-mode resonates at 3.9 GHz, is designed to investigate imperfections. The considered frequency is chosen to observe variations of fundamental accelerating cavity parameters, wake potentials, and wake impedances more clearly by using relatively small structures. Moreover, 3-cell elliptical cavities having pi-mode at 2 and 3.9 GHz are designed to confirm the 9-cell cavity results. The undesired effects caused by the considered mechanical imperfections are simulated for an ultra-relativistic bunch in the parameter scope of a realistic scenario. In particular, Huray's snowball model, which is a scattering-based surface roughness approach developed for microstrip lines, is employed to determine the effects of the surface roughness on the accelerator cavities. Surface roughness due to the fabrication process is expressed as a surface impedance, and the required equivalence between the surface roughness and surface impedance concept is achieved. Significant computational efficiency is observed by using the surface impedance concept with Huray's snowball model in the simulations. Experimental verification of certain parameters is included for an elliptical cavity having high cell-to-cell coupling at 3.9 GHz.
