A broadband terahertz quarter wave plate based on asymmetric cross slots

In this paper, a transmissive terahertz (THz) quarter wave plate (QWP) has been proposed to realize the linear-to-circular polarization conversion in terahertz range. This quarter wave plate is composed of two dielectric layers and one metallic layer with asymmetric cross slots. In the range of 0.894—1.378 THz, the axis ratio of proposed device is less than 3 dB, and its polarization conversion efficiency is more than 45%. The distributions of surface currents and electromagnetic field density had been proposed to understand the physical mechanism of proposed device. The linear-to-circular polarization conversion can be attributed to the asymmetric transmission along slots. Finally, the simulation results are validated by experiments in terahertz region. The proposed device has simple geometry and good performance, which can be used as a key component in applications of terahertz communications, terahertz imaging and terahertz sensing.     

A generalized theory for asymmetrical coupled lines

A method that calculates the properties of geometrically or electromagnetically asymmetrical coupled lines is discussed. Analogous to the normally used theory of even and odd modes, the electromagnetic fields on the computer are described in terms of two modes as the basic variables to calculate the coupling behavior. As a criterion for determining the amplitudes of the two modes, the power transported on the two guides is used. An image guide coupler with a ferrite slab theoretically demonstrates the feasibility of this method     

A Josephson multiplexer with AC-powered master-slave latches

A three-way multiplexer with a 2-3 decoder using Josephson-current-injection three-input AND gates is proposed. This multiplexer has been experimentally fabricated and successfully operated. The device has advantages in power dissipation and circuit area due to a reduction in the number of gates. The power dissipation is 11 μW, which is 40% of that of a conventional circuit configuration composed of two-input AND gates. The circuit area is 90% the size of a conventional circuit. The circuit is composed of three three-input AND gates that use resistor-coupled logic. The AND gates simplify the circuit by realizing both 2-3 decoder and multiplexer functions simultaneously. The fabricated circuit also uses master-slave latches to offer the true and the complement of the data selection signals and to store the output signal of the multiplexer     

Transmission-line filters with capacitively loaded coupled lines

Coupled lines with loads at one end, which can create tunable transmission zeros, are studied in this paper. The equation for the transmission zeros is derived from the analysis of even- and odd-mode excitations. Based on this equation, coupled lines with different loads are analyzed and the rules for controlling the transmission-zero frequency are given. The structures are used in the designs of several second-order filters and they are experimentally verified. The use of a skew-symmetric (0/spl deg/) feed structure in these filters is also discussed and an example is given.     

A planar-lumped model for coupled microstrip lines anddiscontinuities

A convenient model for analyzing coupled microstrip line discontinuities is presented. A planar-lumped model similar to the planar waveguide model for single microstrip lines is developed for coupled microstrip lines. Fields underneath the two strips and those fringing at the outer edge are modeled by two equivalent planar waveguides. Electric and magnetic field coupling in the gap region is modeled by a lumped network. The lumped network parameters are evaluated such that [C] and [L] matrices for the model are identical with those for coupled lines. The model is verified by comparing coupler characteristics with those obtained by the conventional coupled line analysis. Just as the planar model of a single microstrip has been used for characterizing microstrip discontinuities, the planar-lumped model developed is used for coupled line discontinuities. Examples given include coupled microstrip sections with chamfered bends located at right angles to single microstrip lines, for which the results are in good agreement with experimental values

Analysis of coupled transmission lines with power-lawcharacteristic impedance

We present a frequency-domain method for analyzing multiple-coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines with power-law characteristic impedance. The method of the solution is based on the modal decomposition method. Using the modal decomposition method the system of coupled partial differential equations are decomposed to a number of uncoupled ordinary wave equations, which are then solved in the frequency-domain. Finally, the fast Fourier transform algorithm is used to find the time-domain response     

A 12-channel phased-array wavelength multiplexer with multimodeinterference couplers

A compact 12-channel phased-array wavelength-division multiplexer based on multimode interference (MMI) couplers and useful for application with multiwavelength lasers is proposed. A suitably-chosen 1×12 MMI nonuniform power splitter is used to suppress the sidelobes of the multiplexer spectral response. Simulated results for the multiplexer designed in an InP-InGaAsP rib waveguide system and with 1-nm channel spacing at a wavelength of 1550 nm are presented. The multiplexer has a length of 3.2 mm and an insertion loss of 1.7 dB     

Millimeter wave phase-locking in distributed Josephson arrays

Voltage tunable oscillators operating at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths can be designed and fabricated using series arrays of Josephson junctions. The coherent radiation obtained from such oscillators results from the mutual phase-locking of the junction through the high-frequency Josephson current generated in the array. A 40-junction array of Josephson junctions distributed over many wavelengths has been designed, fabricated and tested for operation at 100 GHz. This paper presents the experimental results obtained for this prototype array. A review of the theory for optimizing array design is presented along the implications for power generation at submillimeter wavelengths in future arrays.     

Dual-band bandpass filters with high isolation using coupled lines

Two novel second-order dual-band bandpass filters (BPFs) with high isolation and high selectivity using coupled lines are realised with a T-shaped bandstop structure. The centre frequencies of the two dual-band BPFs can be adjusted to the desired values by changing the coupling coefficients and characteristic impedances of the two transmission paths. Two dual-band BPFs located at 1.87 and 2.53 GHz and 1.9 and 2.42 GHz are designed and fabricated for demonstration. Good agreements can be observed between simulated and measured performances.     

Scattering matrix of dielectric resonator coupled with twomicrostrip lines

A lumped equivalent circuit is proposed to model the coupling of a dielectric resonator with two microstrip lines terminated by any impedance. A three-dimensional finite-element method is used to determine the resonant frequency, quality factor, and coupling coefficients as functions of the electromagnetic parameters of the structure. Scattering parameters are computed. Methods are presented to evaluate these coefficients from a field analysis. They are shown to give good agreement between computed and experimental results

Asymmetric coupled lines in an inhomogeneous medium

Up-to-date, asymmetric coupled lines in an inhomogeneous medium have been dealt with either theoretically or by making use of certain properties obtained in practice. According to certain formulas, these properties are only valid for extremely special geometrical configurations. However, we realised from the general theory, by performing numerical applications, that these properties possess an unexpected application domain: they are, in particular, valid for practically all experimental manipulations.     

A compact quadrature coupler based on coupled artificial transmission lines

A new compact quadrature hybrid based upon artificial transmission lines (ATLs) is presented. Miniaturization is achieved through reduced even- and odd-mode phase velocities which are achieved using capacitive loading with interdigital open-circuited stubs. A proof-of-concept microstrip implementation of the quadrature hybrid exhibits performance comparable to a conventional branch-line coupler while occupying only 14% of the area. The compact structure of the hybrid is useful for RF applications and is suitable for scaling to frequencies above 100GHz where the size of shielded-microstrip components must be limited to prevent excitation of high-order modes.

Surface acoustic wave delay lines with small temperature coefficient

Surface acoustic wave delay lines having a vanishing first-order temperature coefficient of delay time near room temperature have been constructed. The devices were operated near 60 MHz and had about 5 µs delay. The surface waves, generated and received using interdigital electrodes, were propagated along the twofold crystallographic axis of ST-cut quartz. The phase delay change as a function of temperature has a parabolic temperature dependence with a second-order coefficient of approximately 31.5 × 10^-9/° C².     

Dispersion control in magnetostatic wave delay lines

A major impediment to the realization of practical magnetostatic wave (MSW) devices is the inherent non-linear delay versus frequency characteristics of MSW delay lines. Most device applications require either nondispersive (delay vs. frequency slope=0) or linearly dispersive (delay vs. frequency slope = constant) characteristics. There are four basic approaches to the elimination and/or linearization of MSW dispersion: (1) modification of the magnetic film properties as a function of film thickness, (2) modification of the ground plane geometry, (3) modification of the bias field uniformity, and (4) perturbation of the propagation path surface with metal electrode reflective arrays. In principle all four approaches can yield either linearly dispersive or nondispersive characteristics with a suitable choice of bias field orientation and critical design parameters. These dispersion control techniques are reviewed, and data from recent experiments demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches are discussed. To date the most extensive experimental work has been done with the multiple layer (magnetic properties varied as a function of film thickness) and ground-plane spacing techniques. At present the ground-plane spacing technique produces results acceptable for some systems applications, while the multiple-layer approach is still under development.Research supported in part by Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFSC), United States Air Force, under contract Number F49620-82-C-0081 and Rome Air Development Center (RADC), United States Air Force, under Contract Number F19628-82-C-0098.

Complex modes in shielded suspended coupled microstrip lines

The existence of complex modes in electrically shielded suspended coupled microstrip lines has been studied extensively, and the results are presented. A rigorous full-wave spectral-domain approach (SDA) with a newly proposed and tested set of basis functions can efficiently and accurately determine the propagation characteristics of the dominant, higher-order, and complex modes for planar or quasi-planar transmission lines. These basis functions are validated by comparing the convergence study of field solutions with those obtained by various sets of preconditioned bases and by the unconditioned subdomain ones. Excellent agreement is obtained for the propagation constants and the normalized complex longitudinal and transverse current distributions on conducting strips for the strongly coupled microstrip lines. For all the particular case studies discussed, it is shown that the complex modes may exist in all the shielded suspended coupled microstrip lines, even when the substrate dielectric constant is low. Theoretical results for the fundamental, higher-order, evanescent, and complex modes are presented for suspended coupled microstrip lines
