    Reconstructions of Effective Parameters for a Metamaterial Antenna Via 3d-Printed Components
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Yılmaz, Hasan Önder; Yaman, Fatih
    This study presents the reconstruction of effective medium parameters for a double negative metamaterial slab from the knowledge of the measured/simulated S-matrix. The structure initially has been designed to embed into a patch antenna for a radar application. To observe the medium characteristics, we locate the slab in a rectangular waveguide for various orientations. The waveguide-based retrieval method is applied to find parameters regarding the biaxial anisotropic medium. Fundamental mode is used for the excitation. Additive printing technology is employed to manufacture a rectangular waveguide and its adapters for the experiments. The metallization is achieved by coating the printed structures with conductive thin layers. Experimental setups for each orientation are simulated as well. We illustrate good agreements between simulation and measurements under the fabrication tolerances. The feasibility and applicability of the additive printing technology for the investigations of the metamaterial anisotropic/bianisotropic nature is reported.

    A Symmetrical Self-Diplexing Microstrip Antenna With Eight-Shaped Defects
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Karatay, Anıl
    This 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.
