In this paper, lumped equivalent circuits for a conventional parallel directional coupler are proposed. This equivalent circuits only have self inductance and self capacitance, so we can design exact lumped equivalent circuit. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler is derived based on the even- and odd-mode properties of parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have designed the 3dB and 4.7dB MMIC couplers at the center frequency of 3.4GHz and 5.6GHz respectively. Measurements for the designed MMIC directional couplers show at 4dB and 5.2dB-coupling value at the center frequency of 3.4GHz and 5.6GHz. Excellent agreements between simulation results and measurement results on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper

In this paper, novel lumped equivalent circuits for a conventional parallel directional coupler are proposed. This novel equivalent circuits only have self inductance and self capacitance, so we can design exact lumped equivalent circuit. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler is derived based on the even- and odd-mode properties of a parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have designed the 3 dB and 10 dB lumped element directional couplers at the center frequency of 100 MHz and 2 GHz, respectively a chip type directional coupler has been designed with multilayer configurations by employing commercial EM simulator. Designed chip-type directional couplers have a 3 dB-coupling value at the center frequency of 2 GHz and fabricated lumped directional coupler on fr4 organic substrate has a 3 dB, 10 dB-coupling values at the center frequency of 100 MHz. Excellent agreements between simulation results and measurement results on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper. Furthermore, in order to adapt to multi-layer process such as Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC), chip-type lumped element couplers have been designed by using this method.

The load characteristics on the voltage gain and efficiency were analyzed using a lumped constant equivalent circuit of the piezoelectric transformer. These analytical results were confirmed by experiments. Theoretical values of voltage gain were nearly constant with experimental ones. However, It was shown that theoretical values of efficiency is higher than experimental ones.

In this paper, the Low Pass Filter (LPF) using the equivalent circuit of T-junction microstrip line is proposed. And we derived the formulas for lumped-elements of the equivalent circuit of T-junction microstrip line to solve the frequency shift characteristic. T-junction microstrip line is de-embedded by Electromagnetic simulation tool and exact lumped element value of T-junction microstrip line is calculated by the equation of Z-parameter. We can get excellent agreement between lumped-element LPF frequency response and transmission line LPF frequency response.

In this paper, we have designed a small size lumped/distributed hybrid element directional coupler using parallel coupled-line theory. a hybrid lumped equivalent circuit for a conventional parallel directional coupler is proposed. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler are derived based on the even- and odd-mode properties of a parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have extracted design parameters and designed the 3㏈ and 10㏈ small size lumped element directional couplers at the center frequency of 2Ghz. Excellent agreements between design theory and simulation on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper.

Fast and accurate power bus design (FAPUD) method for multi-layers high-speed digital boards is devised for the power supply network design tool for accurate and precise high speed board. FAPUD is constructed, based on two main algorithms of the PBEC (Path Based Equivalent Circuit) model and the network synthesis method. The PBEC model exploits simple arithmetic expressions of the lumped 1-D circuit model from the electrical parameters of a 2-D power distribution network. The circuit level design based on PBEC is carried with the proposed regional approach. The circuit level design directly calculates and determines the size of on-chip decoupling capacitors, the size and the location of off-chip decoupling capacitors, and the effective inductances of the package power bus. As a design output, a lumped circuit model and a pre-layout of the power bus including a whole decoupling capacitors are obtained after processing FAPUD. In the tuning procedure, the board re-optimization considering simultaneous switching noise (SSN) added by I/O switching can be carried out because the I/O switching effect on a power supply noise can be estimated over the operation frequency range with the lumped circuit model. Furthermore, if a design changes or needs to be tuned, FAPUD can modify design by replacing decoupling capacitors without consuming other design resources. Finally, FAPUD is accurate compared with conventional PEEC-based design tools, and its design time is 10 times faster than that of conventional PEEC-based design tools.

A lumped model is proposed to predict liquid ejection characteristics of a thermally driven inkjet print head. The model is based on a two-dimensional heat conduction equation, an empirical pressure-temperature equation and a nonlinear hydraulic flow-pressure equation. It has been simulated through the construction of an equivalent R-C circuit, and subsequently analyzed using SIMULINK and a circuit simulation tool, PLECS. Using the model, heating and cooling characteristics of the head are predicted to be in agreement with the IR temperature measurements. The effects of the head geometry on the drop ejection are also analyzed using the nonlinear hydraulic model. The present model can be used as a design tool for a better design of thermal inkjet print heads.

A method by which solutions of the differential equations of any other distributed circuits can be obtained is described when the solution of the differential equation of an R-C distributed amplifier is known. A graphical method of transforming any R-C ditributed circuit into an equivalent circuit which has a constant R(x)$cdot$C(x) was also obtained. The theoretical verification of this method is possible. For simplicity, any R-C distributed circuit can be transformed into an equivalent circuit which is a distributed circuit of either constant R(x) or C(x). Using this equivalent circuit and considering a lumped circuit, an approximate analysis and synthesis can be made simply.
