    A design technique of 50 Ω terminated bandpass matching network and its implementation to a Y-shaped monopole antenna matching
    (Springer, 2016-12) Aydın, Çağatay; Atilla, Doğu Çağdaş; Köprü, Ramazan; Kılınç, Sedat; Karakuş, Cahit; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper, a 50 Ω terminated or in other words transformerless bandpass matching network design methodology and an implementation example are presented. The real frequency techniques are powerful numerical methods to design wideband lossless two-port networks such as filters, matching networks and amplifiers. In these techniques, the value of the termination resistance of the designed network could not be yielded as 50 Ω by numerical package. Hence, a transformer is also required for 50 Ω termination which is not practical for high frequency applications. By employing the proposed procedure, it is guaranteed to obtain transformerless bandpass matching network. Also in this study a wideband suspended monopole antenna is examined. The proposed antenna consists of two major elements; Y-shaped impedance matching plate and hemi-circular radiator. Moreover Y-shaped impedance matching plate connected to a feeding probe excites the suspended hemi-circular radiator via air gap. Consequently, a transformerless bandpass matching network is designed to filter and expand the operational frequency bandwidth of the proposed antenna. It has been observed that ideal circuit and the layout of the matching network simulation have good agreement.

    An accurate CMOS interface small capacitance variation sensing circuit for capacitive sensor applications
    (Springer Birkhauser, 2017-12) Momen, Hadi Ghasemzadeh; Yazgı, Metin; Köprü, Ramazan; Naderi Saatlo, Ali
    In this paper, an accurate front-end CMOS interface circuit for sensing very small capacitance changes in capacitive sensors is presented. The proposed structure scales capacitance variation to the sensible impedance changing. The scaling factor of the circuit can be easily tuned by adjusting bias points of the transistors. In order to cancel or decrease the parasitic components, the RC feedback and input transistor cascading techniques are employed in the design. To simulate the circuit, HSPICE simulator is utilized to verify the validity of the theoretical formulations in 0.18 mu m technology. According to schematic and post-layout simulation results, input impedance changes linearly versus capacitance variations up to 0.7 GHz, while the sensor capacitance changing is varied between 0 and 200 fF. According to the simulation results, total dc power consumption is obtained as low as 1 mW with 0.9 V power supply.

    Mixed element wideband microwave amplifier design via simplified real frequency technique
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Kılınç, Sedat; Köprü, Ramazan; Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this study, we illustrate the design and implementation of a wideband microwave small-signal amplifier composed of mixed elements. The design is based on Simplified Real Frequency Technique (SRFT). A design of low power amplifier circuit is completed and its simulations are performed in success. The circuit is designed with lumped elements, however, some of the lumped elements are converted to distributed elements for their convenience in production. In this way, a mixed element wideband microwave amplifier comprised of input/output matching networks with lumped and distributed elements has been formed. Layout work and also post layout simulation is given with satisfying results.

    An eclectic approach to design tunable amplifiers
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-07) Nesimoğlu, Tayfun; Aydın, Çağatay; Atilla, Doğu Çağdaş; Köprü, Ramazan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    Broadband amplifiers that can accommodate commercial communication standards such as GSM, UMTS, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Max are extremely important for radio equipment manufacturers. To achieve this coverage, the amplifier should provide high gain and efficiency over a band from 800 to 5200 MHz. Although there are transistor devices that have cut-off frequencies well over these frequencies, amplifiers covering such a broad-bandwidth are difficult to design due to the requirement of broadband matching networks. In this work, design of broadband tunable matching networks is investigated using Real Frequency Direct Computational Technique (RF-DCT). In order to be able to work on sample structures, impedance transforming filters are chosen and a broadband tunable matching network has been designed. Implementation of tunable inductors is investigated and the performance of a tunable matching network using tunable inductors and capacitors is demonstrated. Eventually a broadband frequency tunable amplifier has been designed using the tunable inductor concept.

    FSRFT - Fast simplified real frequency technique via selective target data approach for broadband double matching
    (IEEE, 2017-02) Köprü, Ramazan
    This brief introduces a broadband double-matching (DM) solver called fast simplified real frequency technique (FSRFT). FSRFT is essentially a greatly accelerated variant of the well-known classical simplified real frequency technique (SRFT). The basic idea that turns the classical SRFT into a 'fast' SRFT relies on two main approaches: the selective target data approach (STDA) and the constraint optimization approach (COA). STDA constructs an optimization target data set formed of only critically selected target data whose element number is equal to or slightly greater than the order of the system unknowns n plus 1, {n}+1. In order to exhibit speed performance comparison between SRFT and FSRFT, an example design is considered. An exemplary DM problem, dealing with an {n}=6th order low-pass Chebyshev-type equalizer design to match the given generator and load impedances, has been solved by SRFT within 29 s using 90 target data in a typical computer - e.g., Intel 2.20-GHz i7 CPU with 8-GB RAM. On the other hand, the same problem has been solved by the newly proposed FSRFT within only 0.6 s using only n+1=7 critically selected target data in the same computer. FSRFT introduced herein works in any domain, i.e., lumped, distributed, and mixed.

    Wideband matching network design for a V-Shaped square monopole antenna using Real Frequency Technique
    (IEEE, 2013) Köprü, Ramazan; Aydın, Çağatay; Atilla, Doğu Çağdaş; Karakuş, Cahit; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper, design and simulation of a wideband matching network for a broadband V-shaped square monopole antenna is presented. Matching network design is unavoidable in most cases even vital to facilitate a maximally flat power transfer gain for an antenna. In the work, the matching network design is done for a particular square monopole antenna with V-shaped coupling element that has essentially bandwidth increasing effect. The V-shaped antenna had been manufactured, tested and analyzed elaborately in a previous work. With this work, it is now equipped by a matching network. 'Real Frequency Technique' (RFT) is employed in matching network design.

    Richards uzayında band geçiren devre fonksiyonu gerçeklemesi ve yama anten uyumlaştırmada kullanımı
    (IEEE, 2014-04-23) Köprü, Ramazan; Aydın, Çağatay; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    Literatürde çok iyi bilinmektedir ki, Richards-düzlemi, Laplace-düzleminde tanjant hiperbolik eşlemesi uygulanarak elde edilen dönüştürülmüş bir uzaydır. Richards frekansı cinsinden üretilen devre fonksiyonları gerçek frekans ekseninde π periyoduna sahiptir. Richards uzayında alçak geçiren prototip devre fonksiyonu tasarlandığında, bu periyodik özellik nedeniyle, karşı gelen periyodik band geçiren devre fonksiyonu frekans ekseninde belirli bandlarda tekrarlanarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Tasarımcı, uygulamanın gereksinimlerine göre bu tekrarlanan bandlar arasından ilgilendiği bandı seçebilir. Bu çalışmada, 3.2448-3.744 GHz bandında çalıştırılmak üzere tasarlanmış UWB uygulamaları için elverişli bir mikroşerit yama anten için eş-uzunluklu (commensurate) iletim hatları ile oluşturulmuş uyumlaştırma devresi tasarımı ele alınmaktadır. Tasarımda, SRFT (Simplified Real Frequency Technique: Basitleştirilmiş Gerçel Frekans Tekniği) kullanılmaktadır ve teorik tasarım ile MWO (AWR) benzeşimleri arasında çok iyi uyum olduğu gözlenmiştir.

    Low-loss active inductor with independently adjustable self-resonance frequency and quality factor parameters
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2017-06) Köprü, Ramazan; Momen, Hadi Ghasemzadeh; Yazgı, Metin; Saatlo, Ali Naderi
    This work presents a new low-loss active inductor whose self-resonance frequency and quality factor parameters can be adjusted independently from each other. In order to achieve this property, a new input topology has been employed which consists of cascode structure with a diode connected transistor. Furthermore, the proposed input topology makes the device robust in terms of its performance over variation in process, voltage and temperature. Additionally, RC feedback is used to cancel series-loss resistance of the active inductor, which allows self-resonant enhancement as well. Schematic and post-layout simulation results show the theoretical validity of the design. To validate the design feasibility for process, voltage and temperature changes, Monte Carlo and temperature analysis are done. Suggested structure shows inductor behavior in the frequency range of 0.3–11.3 GHz. Maximum quality factor is obtained as high as 2.1k at 5.9 GHz. Total power consumption is as low as 1 mW with 1.8 V power supply.
