    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.

    Metamaterial antenna designs for a 5.8-GHz Doppler radar
    (IEEE, 2020) Yılmaz, Hasan Önder; Yaman, Fatih
    The aim of this paper is to investigate applicability and the effectiveness of the metamaterial-based antennas for a 5.8-GHz Doppler radar. Thus, a double negative index metamaterial structure is designed as a transmitter antenna and a near-zero index medium is integrated with a patch antenna for the receiver. Significant improvements in bandwidth for the transmitter, slight improvements in gain and in directivity for the receiver, and typically size reduction for both antennas are obtained. It is shown that return loss, radiation pattern, and gain measurement results of the newly designed antennas agree well with the simulations for a desired frequency band. The last part of the study is devoted to express the adaptation of the antennas for a low-power radar system whose aim is to reconstruct the velocity of the human, indoor as well as behind the wall, from the shift in the received frequency. The accuracy of the velocity measurements and field test results of the radar with the metamaterial antennas are reported.
