    Compact size highly directive antennas based on the SRR metamaterial medium
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2005) Bulu, I.; Caglayan, H.; Aydin, K.; Özbay, Ekmel
    In this work, we studied the far-field properties of the microwave radiation from sources embedded inside the split-ring resonator (SRR) metamaterial medium. Our results showed that the emitted power near the resonance frequency of the SRR structure was confined to a narrow angular region in the far field. The measured radiation patterns showed half-power beamwidths around 14°. The highly directive radiation is obtained with a smaller radiation surface area when compared to the previous results obtained by using photonic crystals. The reduction in the surface area is ten-fold in the case of the SRR metamaterial medium when compared to the photonic crystals. Our results provide means to create compact size highly directive antennas.

    European collaboration in conformal antenna research
    (IEEE, 2007-09) Sipus, Z.; Persson P.; Lanne, M.; Heckler, M.; Maci, S.; Campos, J. L. M.; Knott, P.; Ertürk, Vakur; Vandenbosch, G.
    The work carried out within Work Package 2.4-3 of the EU network "Antenna Centre of Excellence" (ACE) is presented in this paper. This work package is concerned with structuring research on conformal antennas. In more details, the work is focused on the problems associated with full benchmarking of conformal antennas, on development of hybrid programs for analyzing different classes of conformal antennas, and on investigation of properties of algorithms for optimizing beam synthesis and beam-steering for conformal arrays.

    Radiation characteristics of a 2D parabolic reflector antenna excited by the H-polarized complex source
    (IEEE, 2002-09) Oğuzer, T.; Nosich, A. I.; Altıntaş, Ayhan
    The aim of this paper is to obtain accurate reference data for relatively large and realistic reflector antenna systems. We concentrate on a parabolic reflector antenna in the H-polarization case. The directive primary feed is modeled by the complex source point method and the relative accuracy of the results is verified. © 2002 IEEE.

    Scattering and absorption performance of a microsize graphene-based parabolic reflector in the THz range illuminated by a complex line source
    (IEEE, 2017) Oğuzer, T.; Altıntaş, Ayhan
    The scattering and absorption characteristics of a two- dimensional (2-D) parabolic reflector made of graphene and placed in the free space is simulated using the Method of Analytical Regularization (MAR) technique. Reflector is illuminated by a complex magnetic line source having a directive beam-like antenna pattern and placed in the geometrical focus of reflector. The total absorbed power and forward and backward directivities are computed. The surface plasmon (SP) resonances are observed. Besides, the scattering performance of the reflector is studied in dependence of the chemical potential of the graphene.
