Improving Response Characteristics Of Split Ring Resonators Using Experimental Designs, Omer Faruk Keskin

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the application of design of experiments approaches in the analysis of split ring resonators, and to compare two different approaches. The design parameters of the meta-material device are examined to study all the main effects, the two factor interactions, and the curvature effects. A full factorial design and a central composite design is utilized for the study. The results in improving split ring resonator design are discussed.

This study shows that the design of experiments approaches can effectively be utilized to examine the effects on the response values of a specific type …
