    Liquid Metal-Controlled Dual-Band Doppler Radar for Enhanced Velocity Measurement
    (IEEE, 2024) Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, Fatih
    Doppler radars, which are critical instruments for velocity measurement, may need to be reconfigured to adapt to different environmental conditions or for ease of use. However, conventional electrical, optical, and physical reconfiguration methods often come with several disadvantages such as deteriorated radiation pattern, reduced radiation efficiency, and high cost. Therefore, the aim of this article is to integrate microwave components that can be controlled using liquid metal (LM) displacement into a Doppler radar to adjust its main lobe direction and operating frequency to the desired values and enhance the measurement capacity of the respective radar. Through this study, multiple parameters of an operational Doppler radar have been simultaneously adjusted using LM displacement exploitation for the first time, thus avoiding the shortcomings associated with conventional reconfiguration methods. To achieve this objective, initially, a back-to-back Vivaldi antenna operating at 2.45 GHz is designed, and beam switching ability is imparted to the structure using the LM displacement method. Subsequently, various techniques are used to convert the structure into a dual-band antenna capable of simultaneous operation at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, ensuring the desired beam switching feature at both the frequencies. In addition, a power divider capable of switching between the two operating frequencies through LM assistance is proposed, and its integration into the radar system enables the control of both main lobe direction and frequency using the proposed method.

    Compact Wideband Tapered-Fed Printed Bow-Tie Antenna With Rectangular Edge Extension
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Bozdağ, Göksenin; Seçmen, Mustafa
    In this article, a wideband printed bow-tie antenna is designed entire band of GPS (L5), PCS, IMT-2000, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX bands, and the most of frequency range of UWB. Apart from the traditional designs, the proposed antenna includes tapered printed line with a feeding point patch and triangular bows with rectangular edge extensions, which makes the antenna more compact. The antenna realized at the frequency band of 1.49-9.5 GHz (more than 6.3:1 ratio bandwidth) has the dimensions of 122mmx56mm (0.61(0)x0.28(0)). According to measurement results, the realized gain varies between almost 1 and 6.5 dBi with 4.44dBi average, which are in good agreement with simulation results. Radiation patterns at the lower frequencies of operating band show dipole like radiation pattern with higher cross-pol discrimination levels while they degrade at the higher frequencies due to increase in gain.
