Electrical characteristics of two types of 20 GHz Push-Push GaAs MESFET dielectric resonator oscillators having Wilkinson and T-junction power combiners for the output stage have been investigated and compared. So we have explained that the output power and phase noise properties of the Push-push FET DRO are depending on return loss and isolation characteristics of power combiner at the fundamental and the second harmonic frequencies. A Push-push oscillator for suppressing the fundamental frequency of 10 GHz and enhancing the second harmonic of 20 GHz has been designed and fabricated in microstrip configuration on 20 mil thick RT-Duroid($\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 2.52) Teflon substrate. Return loss and isolation characteristics of T-junction and Wilkinson have been measured at the fundamental frequency of 10.2 GHz and the second harmonic frequency of 20.5 GHz. At the fundamental frequency, -12 dB return loss and -3.7 dB isolation have been measured for the T-junction power combiner, and -14 dB return loss and -11 dB isolation fur the Wilkinson power combiner. At the second harmonic frequency, -10 dB return loss and -7.5 dB isolation have been obtained for the T-junction power combiner, and -23 dB return loss and -22 dB isolation for the Wilkinson power combiner. As a result, we have confirmed that the oscillator based on the Wilkinson power combiner with better retrun loss and isolation characteristics produces more output power and better phase noise characteristics..

In this paper, we have designed a mode size converter to reduce coupling loss between super-high delta silica optical waveguides and single mode fibers. The new mode size converter has three design aspects; periodically segmented taper waveguide for minimal size, lateral taper waveguide for simple fabrication, and surrounding trenches to improve coupling loss. In the optimal mode size converter design, coupling loss is 0.33dB/point without trenches and 0.2dB/point with trenches.

This report proposes a waveguide spatial combiner with high power low loss. The proposed spatial combiner implements high power by combining from the center of each port through a waveguide. In particular, we implement low loss using TE01 mode, which has the lowest transmission track loss among modes of circular waveguide, and miniaturization is achieved by applying a new mode conversion method. IIn addition, it was confirmed that it was suitable for high output by calculating the insulation breakdown voltage of the new mode conversion structure through E-field analysis. The final 8-way waveguide spatial combiner was designed and manufactured, and the insertion loss was less than 0.4dB and the combining efficiency was 97% or more, confirming that the electrical performance was very good compared to the planar combining method.

In this paper, waveguide-based power combiner using conventional slotline-to-microstrip transition was proposed at Ka-band. The proposed 2-way and 4-way power combiner consist of waveguide-to-slotline transition, two or four slotline-to-microstrip transitions, and impedance matching networks. Their structures were simulated and optimized by 3-D FEM simulation. The 2-way power combiner showed a very low back-to-back insertion loss of 1.0 dB and return loss better than 15 dB from 25.7 GHz to 29.8 GHz except the resonant frequency. The 2-way power combining approach was extended to 4-way power combining using slotline tee junction. The 4-way power combiner showed the similar performance to that of 2-way power combiner with 2 GHz smaller bandwidth.

In this paper, we studied the characteristics of a soliton coupler using a bent nonlinear waveguide. The bent soliton coupler has very ,harp switching characteristic like the conventional soliton coupler due to the threshold effect of soliton emi,sion from the nonlinear waveguide. By using the bent structure, we can reduce the threshold power for the soliton emission. We consider the saturation effect of nonlinearity and the loss in the medium for more accurate and practical numerical analysis in wave propagation through the bent soliton coupler. The simulation results show that the consideration of the saturation effect and the ]os~ may be very important in the analyses and design of the nonlinear waveguide devices. The bent structure is useful for the emission of the spatial soliton with the low threshold power, when we consider the saturation and the loss effect. ffect.

In this paper, three kinds of beam coupling losses which occur in a quasi-optics circuit for millimeter wave receiver system have been intensively investigated. First, the beam coupling losses which are caused by mismatch of beam waists radii and their positions between those of one and the other have been evaluated. It shows that beam coupling losses due to mismatch of beam waists radii and their positions between two quasi-optics circuits can be minimized if beam waist radius is chosen as larger than 3 times the operation wavelength. Second, the beam coupling losses have been studied when the axis of propagation of one beam is tilted with respect to that of the other beam. It is noted that smaller beam waist radius results in greater tolerance to tilts and angular misalignments. Third, the beam coupling cases in which two beams are offset if their axes of propagation are parallel but one is displaced relative to the other have been investigated. It is confirmed that beam waists radii with larger than 3 times operation wavelength are less sensitive to lateral offsets.

본 논문에서는, 결합 인덕터 정류단을 갖는 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 동기정류기 제어 기법을 제안한다. 결합 인덕터 정류단을 활용하면 1차측 환류 전류를 감소 시켜 도통 손실을 줄일 수 있지만, 동시에 줄어든 전류로 인하여 레깅-레그 스위치의 영전압 스위칭을 달성하기 어려워진다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 변압기의 자화 전류를 이용할 수 있지만, 컨버터가 넓은 출력 전압 범위로 설계되는 경우 낮은 시비율을 기준으로 작게 설계된 자화 인덕턴스로 인하여, 높은 시비율로 구동 시 과도한 자화 전류로 인한 불필요한 도통 손실이 증가하는 문제점을 갖는다. 제안하는 제어 기법은 기존 동기정류기 제어와 달리 동기정류기를 기존보다 먼저 구동시켜 1차측에 환류 전류를 순간적으로 재생성할 수 있고, 이를 이용하여 레깅-레그 스위치의 영전압 스위칭을 달성할 수 있다. 따라서, 작은 자화 전류로 영전압 스위칭을 달성할 수 있으므로 1차측의 도통 손실을 줄여 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 제안하는 동기정류기 제어 기법의 효용성을 증명하기 위하여, 400V 입력, 27-54V/13A 출력에서 실험 검증을 진행하였다.
