An Analysis Method of Lumped-element Directional Coupler for CATV by Even- and Odd-Mode Theory

CATV용 집중정수형 방향성결합기의 우기모드 해석법

A new analysis method of lumped-element directional coupler for CATV was proposed, where the even-and odd-mode theory for a symmetrical coupled-line directional coupler was applied to a transformer-type directional coupler. In addition, the tap-offs were analyzed by the proposed theory, which are widely used in CATV (Cable Television) systems. By comparing the calculated results for S-parameters results to the measured ones using only the even-and odd-mode reflection coefficients, the validity of the proposed analysis method was confirmed. Then, it was clearly shown that the tap-off has very wide bandwidth from 5 MHz to 4,000 MHz by adopting the proposed theory.

CATV(Cable Television) 시스템용 집중정수형 방향성 결합기의 새로운 해석법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 결합선로형 방향성결합기에 대한 우·기 모드 해석법을 변성기형 방향성 결합기에 적용하였다. 측정된 우·기 모드 반사계수만을 사용하여 구한 S-파라미터의 결과와 계산치를 비교함으로서 제안된 해석법의 타당성을 입증하고, 제안된 해석법을 적용하여 설계·제작한 신호분기기는 5 MHz ∼ 4,000 MHz까지 광대역화 됨을 보였다.
