Item Open Access Analysis of the elliptic-profile cylindrical reflector with a non-uniform resistivity using the complex source and dual-series approach: H-polarization case(Springer, 2013) Oğuzer, T.; Altintaş, A.; Nosich, A. I.An elliptic-profile reflector with varying resistivity is analyzed under the illumination by an H-polarized beam generated by a complex-source-point (CSP) feed. The emphasis is done on the focusing ability that is potentially important in the applications in the optical range related to the partially transparent mirrors. We formulate the corresponding electromagnetic boundary-value problem and derive a singular integral equation from the resistive-surface boundary conditions. This equation is treated with the aid of the regularization technique called Riemann Hilbert Problem approach, which inverts the stronger singular part analytically, and converted to an infinite-matrix equation of the Fredholm 2nd kind. The resulting numerical algorithm has guaranteed convergence. This type of solution provides more accurate and faster results compared to the known method of moments. In the computations, a CSP feed is placed into a more distant geometrical focus of the elliptic reflector, and the near-field values at the closer focus are plotted and discussed. Various far-field radiation patterns including those for the non-uniform resistive variation on the reflector are also presented.Item Open Access Millimeter-wave scale metamaterials(IEEE, 2009-11) Alıcı, Kamil Boratay; Özbay, EkmelWe review two metamaterial configurations, which are operating at the millimeter-wave scale, in terms of design, fabrication, and characterization. We observed both numerically and experimentally at around 100 GHz a narrow frequency band for which the metamaterial was low loss and had a negative index of refraction. We investigated flat and wedge shaped samples to support our characterization results. We analyzed the transmission band with respect to number of layers at the propagation direction and commented on the bulk nature of these metamaterials. Oblique response of the planar sample was also included in this study. Finally, we demonstrate a device, which yields a rather small angular width at the far field radiation pattern, and composed of a horn antenna and flat metamaterial slabs at the propagation direction. ©2009 IEEE.
