Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Liquid Metal-Controlled Dual-Band Doppler Radar for Enhanced Velocity Measurement(IEEE, 2024) Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, FatihDoppler 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.Conference Object Dalgacık gürültü giderme yöntemiyle mikrodalga bileşen karakterizasyonunun iyileştirilmesi(IEEE, 2023) Karatay, Anıl; Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Yaman, FatihIn this study, an efficient approach is presented to improve the characterization of various microwave components commonly used in communication and radar applications, such as antennas and power dividers. The components were initially simulated and then fabricated using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurements of the fabricated components were performed using a low-cost but noisy coaxial cable, and the measurement results were processed using a wavelet-based noise reduction method. For comparison purposes, the Haar and Daubechies-4 (DB4) wavelet functions were applied separately, and the results were examined. It was observed that the correlation and root mean square error between the ideal and measurement results improved in a positive direction with the noise reduction application. This approach provides significant cost and labor advantages, particularly when expensive elements such as gold and silver are used in coaxial cables that are physically free from noise. The experimental and numerical results show good agreement between the ideal simulation results and the filtered measurement results.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Physical Layer Network Coding Enabled Noma With Multiple Antennas(IEEE, 2022) İlgüy, Mert; Özbek, Berna; Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Pereira, AathurIn this work, a combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with multiple antennas and physical layer network coding (PNC) scheme is proposed to increase the overall data rate. In the proposed scheme, we employ higher-order modulations for the users with relatively high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the PNC-NOMA pair to increase the data rate. Meanwhile, lower-order modulations are chosen for the users with relatively lower SNR values in the PNC-NOMA pair. We showed the results in terms of bit error rate (BER) for different number of antennas and users in the proposed PNC-NOMA scheme. © 2022 IEEE.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: 4Citation - Scopus: 4A Symmetrical Self-Diplexing Microstrip Antenna With Eight-Shaped Defects(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Karatay, AnılThis 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.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.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Dynamic Shared Spectrum Allocation for Underlaying Device-To Communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Özbek, Berna; Pischella, Mylene; Le Ruyet, DidierThis article provides an overview on spectrum sharing in D2D underlaying communications for 5G and beyond 5G applications. Various spectrum sharing algorithms are summarized within a framework of underlaying D2D communications in cellular networks to increase spectrum efficiency. Dynamic spectrum sharing algorithms in the frequency, power, and spatial dimensions are proposed for underlaying D2D communications with both single antenna and multiple antennas at the base station. Performance evaluations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in terms of average data rate per D2D pair.Other Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Erratum To: Multi-Band Cpw Fed Mimo Antenna for Bluetooth, Wlan, and Wimax Applications(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Deste, İrem; Bozdağ, Göksenin; Kuştepeli, AlpIn the above-mentioned article, which appeared in Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, Volume 58#9, DOI 30001, the captions for Figure 1 and Figure 4 were published incorrectly.

These networks can be enriched with multiple antennas in order to obtain a diversity gain to combat signal fading and to achieve more capacity gain without increasing the bandwidth or transmit power. However, radio resource management (RRM) such as relay selection and resource allocation (RA) is important in such a multi-user, multirelay and multi-antenna environment to fully take advantage of multiple-input single-output (MISO)-OFDMA based user-relay assisted cellular networks. Thus, we propose a RA algorithm for these networks to reveal the benefits of the combination of userrelaying and multiple antennas technologies and compare the proposed scheme with existing schemes in terms of percentage of satisfied users and cell-edge users' data rate.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 18Multi-Band Cpw Fed Mimo Antenna for Bluetooth, Wlan, and Wimax Applications(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Desde, İrem; Bozdağ, Göksenin; Kuştepeli, AlpIn this letter, multi-band coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is presented for Bluetooth, WLAN and WiMAX applications. The elements of MIMO antenna are identical CPW-fed printed monopole antennas whose bandwidth performances are improved by employing inverse U and meander line slots. In the design of the antennas, a low-cost FR4 substrate is used and the size of the element antennas are optimized as 35 mm x 30 mm. According to the measurements, S11 is below −10 dB in 2.38 GHz – 2.52 GHz and 3.19 GHz – 6.44 GHz bands with 0.2 dB and 2.9 dB average peak realized gains, respectively. The element antennas are placed orthogonally and fed independently to obtain MIMO structure whose size is optimized as 42 mm x 62 mm. The performance of MIMO antenna is also examined in terms of diversity parameters such as envelope correlation coefficient and apparent diversity gain, which are lower than 0.02 and higher than 9.9 in the operating bands, respectively.
