    A Non-Resonant Approach for Dielectric Constant Reconstructions Via Newton Iterations
    (Elsevier, 2023) Özkal, Ceren; Yaman, Fatih
    In this study, a Newton–Raphson-based iterative method has been proposed to obtain dielectric constants accurately from measurements. The originalities of the approach lie in its applicability at non-resonant frequencies, which brings a significant experimental simplicity by avoiding critical coupling, expansion of available frequencies in different bands with the same cost-efficient low-Q (?60) cavity. The direct problem involves either measuring power values inside a cavity (14.6 × 5 × 20.6) cm via a spectrum analyzer or simulating the complete setup via CST-MWS software at one of the non-resonant modes, 1.5 GHz. The solution to the inverse problem provides fastly converging results with an error rate of 1% for the unknown permittivities. The experiments were carried out using five different liquid samples even though the proposed technique does not have a limitation on solid materials. Applicability and the effectiveness of the introduced method is illustrated in detail and comparisons with the perturbation method is provided. © 2023 Elsevier GmbH

    Implementation and Experimental Verifications of Microstrip Antennas for Angular Scanning of a Doppler Radar
    (Elsevier, 2019) Karatay, Anıl; Orcan, Durmuş; Özkal, Ceren; Yaman, Fatih
    The 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.
