An output multiplexer of manifold type is widely used in a recent satellite transponder for its mass and volume reduction. For correct operation, the filters of such a multiplexer must be singly terminated. In this paper, a simple synthesis method of a 6-pole dual-mode singly-terminated filter is described. From the transfer function of the filter, network parameters such as in/output terminations and coupling coefficients are obtained easily without complicated matrix algebra such as orthogonal projection and similarity transformation. Two different-structure filters are taken into consideration and the network parameters of each filter have been extracted from the same transfer function. It is shown that the responses of two filters are same to each other since their network parameters are obtained from the same transfer function. The method described in this paper can be applied to the other degree singly terminated filter.

An output multiplexer of manifold type is widely employed in a recent satellite transponder due to its small size and mass. For correct operation, channel fillers in manifold multiplexer must be singly terminated. In this paper, a simple synthesis method fur a single terminated filter is described. From the given method, a 4-pole singly terminated elliptic function filter for Ka band satellite transponder is designed. The filter is shown to be suitable for satellite application and its measured results agrees well with computed ones.

An output multiplexer of manifold type is widely used in a recent satellite transponder f3r its mass and volume reduction. For correct operation, the filter of such a multiplexer must be singly terminated. In this paper, a simple synthesis method of a 6-pole dual-mode singly terminated filter is described. From the transfer function of the filter, network parameters such as in/output terminations and coupling matrix are obtained with the aid of orthogonal projection and plane rotation. The rotation order, pivot, and rotation angle of the plane rotation process are given for easy filter synthesis. Two different-structure filters are taken into consideration and the network parameters of each filter have been obtained from the same transfer function. The method described in this paper can be applied to the other degree singly terminated filter.

For mass and volume reduction, input demultiplxer and output multiplexer of satellite transponder widely adopt dual-mode waveguide filters fer channel filters. Generally, channel filters of the input demultiplexer are doubly terminated and channel filters of manifold output multiplexer should be singly terminated fur correct operation. This paper gives a tuning method using short-ended dummy cavity for dual-mode cavity filters. Tuning is based on the match of the computed and measured phase response of reflection coefficient. This proposed method is applied to 4-pole dual-mode doubly terminated elliptic response filter and 6-pole dual-mode singly terminated elliptic response filter for demonstration of this new tuning method. It is shown that this method shows good agreement between the experimental and computed results.

In this paper, a simple design method is represented for a contiguous-band waveguide manifold diplexer which employs a half-wavelength line at the input port of the singly terminated bandpass filterand has resonant-slot coupled E-plane T-junctions. This design method is based on the fact that the input impedance characteristics of the singly terminated bandpass filter are approximately unchanged when a resonant slot and a half-wavelength line at the input port of the filter are employed. This design method is also applicable to the design of the multiplexer. A contiguous-band waveguide manifold diplexer using the post coupled cavity filters is designed, constructed, and tested. The computed and experimental results show the validity of the theory.

A coaxial-cable impedance transformer that can be used in high power and wideband frequency range is an arbitrary impedance transformation ratio by an additional coaxial cable. The coaxial-cable impedance transformer to be 50-${\Omega}$ to 25-${\Omega}$ impedance transformation ratio is easily operated an wideband power divider by connecting two 50-${\Omega}$ lines at 25-${\Omega}$ impedance point. This wideband power divider has a poor output matching characteristic and a poor isolation characteristic between two output ports. In this paper, it proposes a coaxial-cable power divider to be a good output matching and isolation characteristics as it uses the singly terminated filter design theory. The odd-mode operation characteristic of the suggested power divider to use singly terminated low pass filter coefficient due to matching order and ripple value is examined by ADS program. And, it fabricates and measures the operation characteristic of 2-way power divider with 2nd-order and 4th-order matching circuit.

A novel multi-section power divider configuration is proposed to obtain wide-band frequency performance up to microwave frequency region. Design procedures for the proposed microwave broadband power divider are composed of a planar multi-section three-ports hybrid and a waveguide transformer design procedures. The multi-section power divider is based on design theory of the optimum quarter-wave transformer. Furthermore, in order to obtain the broadband isolation performance between the two adjacent output ports, the odd mode equivalent circuit should be matched by using the lossy element such as resistor. The derived design formula for calculating these odd mode matching elements is based on the singly terminated filter design theory. The waveguide transformer section is designed to suppress the propagation of the higher order modes such as waveguide modes due to employing the metallic electric wall. Simulation and experiment show excellent performance of multi section power divider.

An X-band contiguous band diplexer is realized by using asymmetrical coupled microstrip lines. The design is based on the singly terminated low pass prototype filter and optimized by using SuperCompack. The designed channel 1 and channel 2 bandwidth is 22%, and 18% respectively, where the center frequency is 9,11 GHz. The measured results of the fabricated diplexer are in good agreement with the designed ones, but the measured insertion loss is slightly highier(0.5dB) than those of the designed value.

A novel multi-section power divider configuration is proposed to obtain wide-band frequency performance up to microwave frequency region. Design procedures for the proposed microwave broadband power divider are composed of a planar multi-section three-ports hybrid and a waveguide transformer design procedures. The multi-section power divider is based on design theory of the optimum quarter-wave transformer.

The derived design formula for calculating these odd mode matching elements is based on the singly terminated filter design theory. The waveguide transformer section is designed to suppress the propagation of the higher order modes such as waveguide modes due to employing the metallic electric wall. Thus, each section of the designed waveguide transformer should be operated with evanescent mode over the whole design frequency band of the proposed microwave broadband power divider. This paper presents several simulations and experimental results of multi-section power divider to show validity of the proposed microwave broadband power divider configuration. Simulation and experiment show excellent performance of multi section power divider.
