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 GmbHArticle 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.
