Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Cost-Effective Experiments With Additively Manufactured Waveguide and Cavities in the S-Band(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2023) Karatay, Anıl; Yilmaz, Hasan Önder; Özkal, Ceren; Yaman, FatihThis study demonstrates the applicability of additively manufactured components that are metalized with conductive tape for two different microwave experiments. We focus on dielectric measurements and prototyping elliptical accelerator cavities at a low power regime for 2.45 GHz. To illustrate the accuracy of our results for the commonly used solid/liquid materials in engineering and to compare the fundamental accelerator cavity parameters with previous research rectangular and elliptic 3D-printed cavities coated with aluminum-type tape were employed in the experiments. Results reported for the complex-valued permittivities and specific design parameters for the cavity prototype are consistent with the literature. Various approaches to obtain the conductivity value of the tape and the effect of the roughness/thickness of the coating on the reflection parameter are discussed in detail. We confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which reduces costs and provides a high degree of accuracy for investigated applications.Article Citation - WoS: 2Mitigation of Electron Cloud Effects in the FCC-EE Collider(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Yaman, F.; Iadarola, G.; Kersevan, R.; Oğur, S.; Ohmi, K.; Zimmermann, F.; Zobov, M.Electron clouds forming inside the beam vacuum chamber due to photoemission and secondary emission may limit the accelerator performance. Specifically, the electron clouds can blow up the vertical emittance of a positron beam, through a head-tail-type single-bunch instability, if the central electron density exceeds a certain threshold value, that can be estimated analytically. Using the codes PyECLOUD and VSim, we carried out detailed simulations of the electron-cloud build up for the main arcs and the damping ring of the FCC-ee collider, in order to identify the effective photoemission rate and secondary emission yield required for achieving and maintaining the design emittance. To this end, we present the simulated electron density at the centre of the beam pipe for various bunch spacings, secondary emission yields, and photoemission parameters, in the damping ring and in the arcs of the collider positron ring. To gain further insight into the underlying dynamics, the obtained spatial and energy distributions of the cloud electrons are illustrated as a function of time. In addition, we compare results obtained for two different secondary emission models (“Furman–Pivi” and “ECLOUD”), thereby indicating the uncertainty inherent in this type of study, without any prototype vacuum chambers yet available. We also point out a few situations where the two secondary-emission models yield similar density values. Finally, based on our simulation results for two different design variants, we conclude that the new parameter baseline of the FCC-ee will facilitate electron-cloud mitigation. © 2022, The Author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Reconstructions of Effective Parameters for a Metamaterial Antenna Via 3d-Printed Components(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Yılmaz, Hasan Önder; Yaman, FatihThis 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.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.

Accurate calculations of wake potentials by particle-in-cell codes are extremely difficult for the investigated parameters; therefore, we use an analytical approach and consider large domains with fine discretization for the required numerical integrations. The semianalytical wake potential computations are benchmarked against numerical general purpose 2D/3D Maxwell solver software codes and a different analytical approach for a certain set of parameters. We report examples to illustrate limitations of wake potential estimations from coupling impedances, and computations for the machines using realistic beam parameters and machine conditions. A numerical example where the aim is to find the wake potential of the machine from the 5% noisy impedance data is given.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Electromagnetic Simulations of Mechanical Imperfections for Accelerator Cavities(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, FatihEffects of surface roughness and transversal cell misalignments on the performance of elliptical accelerator cavities are studied in this article. 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.Article Numerical Investigations of Resistive Wall Wake Potentials(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020) Yaman, FatihThe aim of this Letter is to examine and identify longitudinal resistive wall wake potential behaviours of medium-beta long bunches and ultra-relativistic short bunches using different beam and pipe properties for particle accelerator applications. The lack of detailed analysis in current literature for the chosen set of parameters ignites this work. Since computations of wake potentials for the considered beam parameters by particle-in-cell codes are extremely difficult the author uses an analytical approach. Numerical integrations are evaluated for large domains with fine discretisations. The author observes that conductivity of beam pipe has a larger impact on medium-beta long bunches, variation of beam velocity effects wakes of short bunches more significantly, beam radii changes may have a contribution to instability for low energy short bunches. Interesting numerical results are presented and their physical explanations are discussed in this Letter.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 37Metamaterial antenna designs for a 5.8-GHz Doppler radar(IEEE, 2020) Yılmaz, Hasan Önder; Yaman, FatihThe 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.Conference Object Kahve Laboratory Rf Circulator and Transmission Line Project(American Institute of Physics, 2018) Çetinkaya, Hakan; Çağlar, Aslıhan; Çicek, Cihan; Özbey, Aydın; Sunar, Ezgi; Türemen, Görkem; Yıldız, Hüseyin; Yüncü, Alperen; Özcan, Erkcan; Ünel, Gökhan; Yaman, FatihAn 800 MHz RF circulator and transmission line project has recently started at the newly commissioned Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation (KAHVE) Laboratory at the Boǧaziçi University.

The simulated structures are illuminated by four acoustic sources at a fixed frequency such that the scattered field is measured in a near-field region at 128 points. According to the nature of physical problems, the Dirichlet boundary condition is employed to model air-filled cavities and transmission conditions are assumed for metallic objects. Additionally, conductive boundary conditions are suggested for a more realistic representation of the inhomogeneities for the rusty metallic skin of the duct. Potential approaches are used to derive boundary integral equations. The proper treatment of the ill-conditioned equations is established via Tikhonov regularization. Applicability of the proposed inversion algorithms is tested with realistic parameters for different scenarios using noisy scattered field data and accurate numerical results are presented at 10 kHz for the unknown physical properties of the duct's skin.
